THE "rRUE CHRISTIANS. a."

Not quite so wild as these sects, but
still sufficiently erratic, ,arc those of Molo-
kan and Dukhoborts. The Molokani
are so styled by the people on account of
the quanity of (moloko) they consume,
bat they call themselves true Christians.
The sect has existed about century, dur.
ing which time its members have general-
ly led peaceful and steady lives, in
many respects resembling those of the
Mcravians. Now and then, however,
thoy are carried away by outburst of fam
atheism, as on one occasion when Molo'
kan rushed into the midst Of a church
procession, seized a picture of a saint,
throw it on the ground, and then tramp
led on it, At first the bystanders stood
silently aghast but they soon recovered
from the shock and pionsly put the Offend
er to death In the year 1888 a certain
fanatic named Terenty began to preach
repentance to the Molokani gave
himself out as the prophet Elias, ordered
them to desist from the work and give
themselves up exclusively to praying and
singing hymns, announced that the mill
ennium was close at hand, and ultimately
fixed day on which he promised to re-
ascend to heaven before ther eyes. When
the appointed day arrived he appeared in
a carriage, and ordered the crowd which
had assembled to meet him, composed of
many thousand OF Molokani from all
parts of Russia, to kneel down and pray
with him At the end of his prayer he
tapped his arms and tried to hy; but he
onlyl fell heavily to the ground, injuring a
woman in his fall. A great uproar fol.
lowed and his disappointed disciples
handed him over to the police, who sent
him to prison for time. After his re-
! lease he recovered some OF his influence

When Napoleon was in Russia the Molo-
kani imagined that he was ''the Lion of
the Valley Of Jehoshaphat described in
their old Psalms, who was destined to
overthrow the false Emperor, and restore
the throne of the white Gar" So the
Tamb of Molokani appointed a deputation
from their body ''to go clothed in white
and present an address to him." in the
year 1872. The deputies made their
way through Little Russia and Poland, as
far as the Vistula, but they were made
prisoners. One of them escaped and got
safely home but the rest were never heard
of again, ILiprandi, in the report he
drew up Gin Russian for the government
in the year 1858, says that "the Napo-
leon-ovshohina, or sect of worshippers OF
Napoleon, reappeared in 1920 at Bye

at Moscow" The worshippers of Napo-
leon at Moscow meet with the utmost SO.

and they believe that some day he will re-

Ill. Then Peter will mount the throne
of the world, and Napoleon will command

Lipranji goes on to tell how the police
contrved in November, 1915, to get hold
of certain secret pictures belonging to this
sect one Of which he laid before the
Minister Of the Interior. These pictures
were printed on very thin paper, in order
that, they might get passed unseen from
hand to hand. And these pictures rep

the places Of amusement in New York,
says;-
"One may see, night after night, at

we'll dressed, but carrying in their faces
the marks Of early dissipation, From
among these come the loudest plaudits
and the costliest bouquets and baskets of
flowers which greet and encourage the
poor girls, who are willing to make any
exhibition of themselves that they may
put money in their pockets.
FThe majority of the young men are
made up of the sons of wealthy citizens,
who proposs to people penitentiaries and
poor-houses with their offspring. Others
again, are confidential clerks and cashiers,
or young merchants, who cannot afford
such extravaganza, and are on the high
road TO ruin. We read of such CASES fire.

''At rare intervals, we find wealthy

so we'll trained that they keep, and per-
haps increase, the wealth they inherit.
But, as general rule, the wealth, if not
lost before the parent dies, is scattered
Immediately after The sons pass into
absolute want, with no aptitude for any
menial pursuit, and no disposition to do

time as bar.keepers, billiard .marks, or

TIE "sOUL WRESTLERs."

From among the Molokani have arisen
the Dukhobortsi or soul-wrestlers, who
hold that the Dukhoborets is God, and
cannot sin but the non-Dukhoborets is
radically wicked-all that he does, even
what appears to be good, is SIM" One Of
their characteristics is "the remarkably
handsome forms both of men and women,
and the health and strength they display"
This is partly to be accounted for by the
fact that they put to death every child
that is delicate or deformed. 'The soul"
they say, being the likeness of God,
must dwell in a worthy, noble and vigorous
body If we find it in weak and poor one
we are bound to free it frcm its ignoble
prison, it then chooses for itself, according
to the law Of the transmigration of souls,
another and better body" Such child
murders gives little pain to their parents,
for their theory is that "the slul, the
image of God, recognizes no earthly father
or mother" and that 'there is only one
father, the totalty of God, who lives in
every individual and one mother, univer-
sal matter or nature, the earth" Conse-
quently, the Dukhobortsi never call their
parents "father' or "mother" but only
sold man" and sold woman and parent
does not speak of "my" children, but of
''ours," meaning the community's. The
career of the great chief otthe Dukhobortsi
Kapustin by name, had something in com-
mon with that of John of Leyden. He
must have been no common man, who, al
though ''merely an uncultivated Russian
peasant was able to create, and maintain
for several years, "a complete theocratiC
State, comprising 1000 persons--a plat
onc Utopia founded upon religious, Christ
ian, and Gnostic principles" 1t was
near the Sea of Azof that the Dukhobcrs s
settled, and there Kapustin, who hat
persuaded them that the soul Of Chris
dwelt in his body, ruled despotically, Ii
1871 he was impris oned, but he was soor
liberated on bail After a time he dis
appeared, and it was not till long after he
was dead that the cave in which he haC
spent the last years of his life become
known to the public After his death the
colony fell into disorder. Tne Council o.
Elders which ruled it "became terri

and death followed close upon the slight
est sign of an intention to go over to tht
Russian Church within few year:
about two hundred people disappeared
leaving scarcely a trace behind an inves
tigation by the authorities, too late tC

state of things; bodies were found burieC

THE "DUMB."

Another very singular sect, which ex-
isted in former days, was that of the Best
love,niki; or the Dumb, but they seemed
to have died ont. Scarcely anything is
known about them, for as soon as any
one joined the community he become mute,
and from that time forward articulatc
sound never escaped his lips, Various at
tempt1 have been made at different times
10 torture them into speaking, but always
in vain. "A governor,general of Siberia,
named Postal, in the time Of Catherine
H., ordered them to be tortured in the
most horrible manner. The soles of their
feet were tickled, and melted sealing wax
was dropped upon their bodies but they
did not utter a sound"
