demand for the convocatIon OF a general coufl-

administrative life Of the Church. voiced IN the
manifesto Of a group OF ST. Petersburg priests.
find support among the influential clergy. not
only in the capital but In the provinces, and
IL is to be regarded as another manifestation
Of a general revolt In Russia against the dorni-
nation az the bureaucracy, which is as pre-
dominant in Church as In political administra-
tiOn. It Is a mistake to suppose the movernsnt
is directed against the Emperor, with whose
position Divine Representative and Vfceroy
on Earth the whole belief Of the Russian Church
IS bound up. but against the subordination OF
the Church 70 the aims OK civil authority. which
have been steadily growing since the institution
by Peter the Great OF the Holy Synod.
The manifesto was followed yesterday by a
letter from Bishop Dmitri. Of Novo-Mirgorod.
one Of the influential provincial bishops In
which he demands freedom OF the Church from
the power OF the Chinovriks and the bureau
erecy. and names the Chief Procurstor OF the
Holy Synod official whose power needs
curtalIment, who himself stands in the way Of
reform.
The whole movement, in fact. is aimed at the
Procurator General Of the Holy Synod, Pobie-
donostseff. and the chancellery under his direc-
ton, which, though in essence a political or
ganizations has attained such power that with
out it's permission no pulpit can be occupied. and
not even repairs in a church in the renOtest
government can be undertaken.
The reformers are not agreed on the extent
to which the reforms should CO. Some are ask
ing only for the abolition Of the bureaucratic
annex TO the Holy Synod. while others suggest
the return to the PatTiaTchate which preceded
the Synod, with Church councils the final
authority IN ali matters Of doctrine. Under the
Patriarchate which prevailed over a century
after the Russian Church broke away from the
spiritual leadership Of tho Patriarch of Con-
stantinople, the Hierarchy OF the Church Gull
minated in a Patriarch elected by bishops who
exercised spiritual sovereignty under the En-
peror, but whose claims were pushed so far for
ward under the Patriarch Nixon in the reign
OF Alexis father OF Peter the Great, that Nixon
himself was deposed by Alexis and the Patri-
Archaic was abolished by Peter.
The influential journals are lending support
70 the movement within the Church. the ''Novoe
Vremya" declaring that the Church is para
lyzed, fits voice no longer being needed be-
cause OF the predominance OF the bureaucrat
which has made the Office OF Metropolitan moth
