HUMAN SACRIFICES IN RUSSIA.
Vain Attempts to Abolish the Practice
Revelations of a Newspaper.


Revelations of IA Newspaper.
II is probably known to few people
that the practice of sacrificing human
lives under certain conditions still eX-
lists in parts of the empire of Russia.
The government and the orthodox
church have attempted in vain to stop
the inhuman practice. but up to the
present time they have been unsuc-
cessful. Revelations regarding the Gus
tom were made in recent issues of the
Gazette of YakootSk, Siberia. 1t pre-
walls among sect known as ''Tshul-
shen." not far from that city. Old peo-
pie. beyond the Biblical limit as to aGt,
and sick ones tired of life, offer them
selves as the sacrifices. When Il ''Tshuk-
she" decides to offer himself up, he
sends word to all his relatives, friends
and neighbors. who then visit him and
try to persuade him to change his in
tentionS.
But prayers. upbraidings, threats.
are useless in such a case, and the IA
matte prepares for his end The friends
and relatives leave his house and re-
turn in ten to fifteen days, bringing
the death candidate white clothing and
several weapons, with which he is sup
posed to defend himself in the other
world against evil spirits and shoot
reindeer.
After completing his death toilet the
candidate takes his place III Il corner of
his house or hut. About him gather
his relatives. who offer him the choice
of three instruments of death. a knife
spear and "a rope. If he chooses the
knife. two friends hold his arm while Il
third plunges the blade into his breast.
Practically the same thing is done if
he decide to die by the spear. When he
prefers the rope, two of those present
| place it about his neck and stranglc
him to death. A cut is then made in
the breast to let the blood flow out. All
those present sprinkle their faces and
hands with the blood. believing that it
will preserve them from evil and bring
| them fortune.
The body. after this ceremony. is
| placed on IA sled. which is drawn by a
reindeer. to the cremation hill" near
the village The neck of the animal is
cut at once upon arrival at the place.
The body is stripped of clothing, which
is then cut in small pieces and placed
on the altar with the dead man or wo-
man. During the cremation the mourn
ers'' utter prayers to the spirits, beg
ging them to watch over those mortals
still left on earth. This custom has been
followed by the sect for centuries. N.

"Eor Extreme Penalty"

SOUTH SHAFTsBURY, Sept. oath, 1894.
Mr.. Editor: have read the public
letters from some of the good people of
Bennington village, touching the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law of our
State in this county. l have taken an
active part in such attempts, sometimes,
for the purpose of trying to save the
men engaged in handling it, as they are
often the first victims of their own sin.
The tone of some of these letters is
worldly and has not the true Gospel
ring.
The law of God is going to be fulfilled.
The Court of Heaven will have in all the
evidence, with no lawyers to befog and
pervert it. for the devil does all his
pleading in this world. Wilful sinners
have no advocate before that court.
There are no degrees of sin or crime
and but one punishment for all sin of
whatever name, whether it be rumsell-
ing, adultery, horse stealing, or any
other of the many forms Of sin that our
laws fail to stop. 1.-THE soul that sineth,
it shall die"
1t has often been urged as an objec-
ton to our prohibitory law that it is not
enforced and cannot be wholly. That is
equally good against the ten command
ments, as our laws, or those of them
that are in accord with divine law, are
but re-enactment of the command
ments with penalties attached to be ex-
ecuted in this life. These penalties sat-
isfy only the human law. God will judge
them that have broken his law, regard
less of any other fact. except as are re-
deemed through Christ.
There are no indulgences in Gods
government. License, high or low, is
contrary to this fundamental law.
There is no temporising or compound
ing with criminals. Selling one drink
will be punished with the death penalty
as certainly as a greater number.
Repentance before Ged and faith in
Jesus Christi is the only means that can
secure pardon and stay the execution.
In view of uncompromising statements
