RUSSIA'S CONDITION

The most formidable protest Of the people Of Russia
against autocracy known that dark prestridden
land, is attracting the attention of the civilized
world. Though a tremendous movement there is little
probability of its success, for the that the move
ment is confined almost or quite, exclusively to the
larger and cities. The participants in the move
are the artisans students and a few of the
fessona classes what has given to the movement
the ability to assume its presept magnitude, has been
the strike of railroad employees cutting off connection
between town the capital of the empire from
the provinces nearly the whole country from the
rest of the world
The OF the uprising is plain. TO stimulate

with proverbial perfdy inherent by blood

promise After long delay, the imperial rescript
finally ssned and the people found that for the bread
they asked they had been given for the fish they
demanded they offered a serpent
The meeting of a national assembly provided for
but its powers are so eircumscribed that it is made

This betrayal of the people is the cause the up

CONSCIENCE As MANS
GUIDE IN RELIGION
DIR. TIGHTS ADDRESS IN NEW
LINE OF SPIRITUAL lNSTRUC-
TlON AT CHRISTIAN CHURCH,

TloN AT CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
Rev. E. p. Crawford, pastor of the
Christian church of this city, is do
ing a great daa of good along what
seems to be au altogether new line.
This lire is the securing Of various
speakers not preachers, to address
his congregation ON topics kindred to
those usually heard from the pulpit,
but which are presented not only from
the viewpoint of the laity, but from
that of the individual speaker himself.
This course will certainly open a wide
range of thought. and provoke an ex-
tent of mental activity upon the part
of the congregation unusual where
only the same dogmas are presented
week in and week out. in the same
WY to the same auditors by the same
speaker.
Last evening President Tight of the
New Mexico University was the
speaker, and his theme was a demand
for the liberty Of the individual con-
science in religious belief. The doctor
is a pleasing speaker, who addressed
his audience as he would address
class of students, in a conversational
tone with extemporaneous words sug-
gested by absolute mastery of his
theme and without permission OF
adornment of any character.
His subject was that every mans
conscience is his imperative ruler.
To it, alone is he responsible and
not to his fellow man. Hence the
doctors plea was not that each one
follow his own conscience in religious
belief. for that is what everyone will
do anyhow; but that we allow all
others to do likewise. without CON
demnation, no matter how widely they
may differ from us In this the doc
tor found the possibility OF Christian
unity of effort without the sacrifice
of the closer denominational organi-
zation.
