LAsHEs RUSSIA AS SINFUL.
Church PreIate in st. Petersburg Call

Church PreIate in st. Petersburg Calls
Defeats Just Penalty.
st. Petersburg, March 20.-Metro-
nolitan Antonius has issued remark
able pastoral address arraigning Rus
sia for vanity, frivolty, dissipation and
impiety, the just punishment of which
is humiliation Of the nation. He
preached repentance and the fear of
God.
ut is not the first time" the PASTOR
al says, chat on holy Russia has fallen
dire misfortune, but then Russia was
wholly different country, strong in
the love Of holy religion and impreg-
nable in devotion to the emperor and
the fatherland.
''Now, while carrying on great war.
instead of congregating in spirit Of
thigh and self-denying patriotism,
Internal dissension reigns in the land,
everything is overthrown, science is
neglected and what is holy is trampled
upon. During the carnival days last
week. while our heroes were dying in
unequal combat, watering the battle
fields with their blood, we dared even
then abandon ourselves to the usual
excess and days of feasting and un-
seemT dissipation.
''Wil fright we are despised by all,
Knocked at by all the people Of the
earth. Awake, then, holy, orthodox
Russia; fear God, cleanse thyself from
the stain of the foulness of thy sins
Repent, enlighten thyself, and God
will give thee grace"

attractions at the state fairs will be
one of the foremost. The moving pic

at the Nebraska building at the st.

at state fairs. The new association
will not in any way interfere with the
American Association, which meets
annually in Chicago and fixes the dates
for all state fairs, but will supplement
it's work. There will be cooperation
as to attractions and also in the mat
ter Of privileges Those who take priv
ileges will have to pay up or they will
not get in at the next fair they at
tend. At the meeting Saturday, w
r. Mellor. president of the Nebraska
association, was made president, and
c. II. Sampson, secretary of the Kan
sas fair, was made secretary. It was
found that in some states twice as
much was charged for privileges as at
others. There will hereafter be a uni

what my inquis1tors wanted me to say
in order to get me into a trap; that is,
to say that God had given me revela-
ton on some new law or precept which
WIS to be included and written in the
laws of the church. Did you ever hear
me deny that I had been guided by
God? No. No man ever heard me say
this.
When / was first baptised as a
child, God revealed to me that had
done an act which he approved. God
also revealed to me that Joseph Smith
was prophet of God, raised, up by
the power almighty. He revealed to
me in terms incontrovertible that
Brigham Young succeeded lawfully to
the presidentcy of the church by the
will of the Almighty. He revealed to
me that John Taylor was the divine
successor of Brigham Young, that
Wilford Woodruff was the divine sue
cessor of John Taylor, that Lorenzo
Snow was the divine successor of Will
ford Woodruff. leave 1t to you to say
whether 1t is right and lawful for me
to be in this position.
Il fervently believe that God has
made manifest to me many glorious
Things and much more wisdom than is
inherent in myself and will continue
to do so as long as am ready to
listen when He speaks"
