MovENENT rAvoREp.
Trying to Sever Bonds Between Churcn
 and State.


 St. Petersburb. April 1.-The move. ment for severing the traditional bonds between church and state and giving to the holy orthodox church Respondents and self rule, which will in- crease its influence among the people of Russia, has found favor with an ir1,- portapt group of clergy at the capital; and noteworthy document seftin3 forth the views of those ox this per- suasion, which was presented to Metro polftan Antonius of St. Petersburg, has been received with sufficient con- sideration to ensure It's publication in The Church Messenger, the semi- omcial organ of the diocese of St |. Petersburg, and one of the most relig- ious papers in the realm.
 The. document, after arguing that the church should free itself of obliga- ton to the state. in order to lend all Its energies to the prosecution of it's own special work and eliminate the | suspicion that its ministrations may be inclined toward worldly things and interests, demands the summoning of a general council of the church to con- slider means of attaining the greater freedom required. It's publication in The Church Messenger has occasionea much comment in St. Petersburg and it's religious circles generally and 1t is- reported that the Holy Synod has decided to recommend to Emperor Nicholas the summoning of such a council.
 The question is an important one to the social organism and that it has been raised and pressed at this time indicates the extent to which Russian society is stirred at the present hour. The movement is believed to be now largely confined to group of metro- politan clergy. and 1t Is not known to what extent the priests in the country are affected. Taking as its text rec ognition in the imperial rescript for the necessity of enlarging the horizon of the religious life of Russia as we'll as fir adherents of n-Russian faiths as for the orthodox and heterodox ele- ments in the Russian church, the docu- ment says true believers must rejoice at the liberation of conscience from pertain restraint placed upon heterodox Russians and non-Russians, and must equally recognize the necessity of re- forms for the orthodox church if it's influence is to live and grow. If the spread of indifference to religion is to be checked, and if the church is to realize it's high, God-given calling"
 The document declares that "onIy church free from external influence In the direction of all its affairs. thereby avoiding the liability of being consid- cred a force or faction under the inc fiuence of obligations toward the States can hope to check the spread of other faiths and creeds In Russia and retain the nation in the faith of the fathers"
 The address urges that the apostles and founders taught that the church stand for the freedom which Christ gave, and subject yourselves not to the state," and calls for a return to the original canonical freedom of the Rus sian church.
 It is reported that the committee of ministers will soon take up the uuss- tion of administration of the church prperty of Armenians.

I know from statements made to myself by parties implicated that such rebates have been exacted by other corpora tions. doubt if the Standard oil Com pany Is more virtuous than the rest :. But 1t is true that 1t has now gained a power in the classification and con- trol of rates which make it unneces- sary to use thessystem of rebates.
 some of the apologists of the trust are now asserting that the money now under discussion has been legally ac- auired. Legally says The New York Times. there Is no question thaS the money Is Mir.

If there Is no such question why is the United States Government now investi- gatinG the operation of the Standard oil Company ] It Is not the morals of that company Into which the govern ment is lookingx it is the legality of it's practices.
