About eco years ago. Pagan Russia turned
Christian bv order of the great Prince OF Kieff,
| The new Christian country was at once oyerruu
by Greek priests; the Pagan temples wero de.
strovcu and orthodox churches and conyents
wero erected in their stead; the Bible was
translated from Greek into Slavonic BY two
Slays, Kyrri1l and Mcthodfus. soon sacred
relics OF Russian origin made their appearance,
and then Russians began to call their country
Holy Russia. There is no need to discuss how
far this epithet is applicable to the present
Russia; but facts recently published In Rus
sian journals are Interesting in the way of Illus

The Go!os sars: "The Russian peasantry--
that is, the great majority of the pcople-pre-

holidays OF Pagan times. For instance, on the
eye OF Ivan Kupaia the woodpiles arc burnt,
Aud people jump over them: on New-Year's
Eve the village Girls go from one house tu an
other singing songs In honor Of Pagan god
(Avsen). In the spring, again, several Pagan
HOLIDAYS are obserTed.'' :.
In seasons of epidemic disease the super
stitious peasants resort to the magical arts OF
women rather than to the help OF physicians or
OF orthodox priests. The Coos SAYS: 'sIn the
middle OF .the4}night the women OF the village

religious teachers to engage In secular pursuits.
Their wauts have been, and with some exccp-

give themselves to reading, meditation, prayer,
and the ministry OF the Word according to Pau',s
Injunction to Timothy. And men who enter the
ministry Of the Christian Church because they
feel that God iass that calling as burden on
them will not be likely to turn aside to engage
IN secular concerns. Now and again, however,
