are nonresisting Christians; that is,
they decline to take part in military
service, like the quakers of this coun-

years have been prosecuted and driven
from place to place. Count Leo Toll
stoi is interesting himself in their be-
half and has the support of quite a
number of prominent people in this
country and Europe.
THE idea is to secure a large tract
OF land in this country and establish
the colony, which numbers 10000 per
sons, upon it. 1t will be similar in
most respects to the quaker and Mora
Wan settlements. No place has been
