spring Despiscd-Gross Social In
Justice
Every parish priest in Russia is obliged to
be a married man that is to say, he must
have q wife preliminary as condition to the
possession OF parish, but must be married
before be has been ordained priest, for
priest cannot marry. Formerly the rule OF
married parochia clergy was enforced so
vigorously that when a priests wife died the
widowcr had to resign his benefce and
betake himself to convent. This rule
| worked so cruelty especially in the case OF
children thus suddenly bereft of both par
| ents, that it was relaxed in the late Emper-
| ors reign, and now widower priest may
| retain his parochsl charge. The parish
clergy, however, are still Il caste, and de-
spised caste. In social standing they are a
| little above the peasOn'rY. They are never
| met in the drawinI Ums of the gentry
and if gentleman resolves 10 adopt clcri
cal career he never dreams of entering the
"whitc,' that is the parochial clergy he

lu1BGI luul INC LculduN. luC SOHo VI LIE
"popes," as the parish priests are called,
usually receive fair education, and those
of thom-a large number-who find no
opening in the clerical profession, are thrown
upon the worll without means of subsst-
ence and with education and aspirations
which disqualify them for the ordinary
vacations of peasant life or skilled labor.
| They pour into the towns therefore, in
search of employment, aud thus add a large
quota to the intellectual proletariat. OF all
the enemies of existing orders of thugs
J these clerical outcasts are, are as body, the
bitterest. They are the pariahs of society,
I and requte with boarded hate the contempt
and cruel injustice with which society visits
them. 1t is curious that people so devoted
- their religion as the Russians should treat
the offspring of their priesthood with such
contumely. They compel their parish
priests to be married, yet they regard descent
from priest as kind of social original sin,
for which there is no laver of regeneration.
No wonder that nihilism counts many of its
most daring recruits among the victims of
such gross social injustice.
