Asatic race to Illustrate his ambitious
designs He does not hesitate to call
the Russian sovereign to account be-
cause In this "call to murder as he
puts it, the car has asked the divine
blessing on the most horrible crime IN
the world, Then he calls attention to
the fact that the japanese emperor has
proclaimed the same thing in relation
to The Russians.
A calm pewsal Of the correct trans
latlon Of 1olstoi's latest message to the
world easily convInces one that his
quarrel Ia not with Russia, but with
the world. What he wishes to attack
is not the civil condition Of his native
land but the crimes and follies Of the
modern world as they appear to him.
His constant question in recent years
has been Why having A. Sermon on
the Mount we do not live up to Il.
Tolslol is too great a preacher to be
satisfied with q Russian congregation

nam these shores, The coming OF SO
,n,portant dlgnitary as Randall
Tbomos Davidson, archbishop of Cam
,erbury, marks am epoch In American
ecclesiastical annals
THE distinguished prelate's visit TO
,bIs country is due primarily to cour-
,o,us desire to make some adequate re-
,nrp for the repeated visits Of Amer
lean bishops to the decennlal Lambeth
conferences. Although 1t Is entirely
5stluct as an organization, the Amer
,an epscopatc actually derives its
,o,yers from the hierarchy Of which
tbe primate is the spiritual head. That
tct alone is sufficient to account for
thc deep and far reaching sympathy
which exists between the two great
I'm lies. The archbishop has for years
boen the recipient Of numerous invita-
tIons from the bishops and influential
clergy OF this county, many OF them
entedating his elevation to the primary.

Dim to be otherwise This time, how
