HOLY SYNOD MAKES PLEA
TO ORTHODOX RUSSIANS

THE most grievous fact is that the dis
turbances were caused and brought about
by Russas enemies, and that consider
able sums of money were received to
create civil war. and by drawing men
from their work to prevent the due de-
spatch of land and sea. forces to the far
east. and supplying the active army with
all its needs. Russia's enemies are striv-
ing to shake down her pillars of ortho-
doxy and autocracy without which Rus
sia would come to ruin.
What a grief 1t is that the orthodox
people should rise against the lawful
power and against one another while
their brothers are fighting in the far
east, and the Emperor and Empress are
endeavorlng to alleviate the sufferings of
the wounded"
The circular concludes with adjurlng
the people to render obedience to the En-
peror and to the authorities.
Let the clergy" it says. "admonish
their focks to keep the peace. Let those
in power seek the truth and defend the
oppressed. Let the rich do good and let
the workers obey Gods command, and be-
ware of false counsellors, who are the
associates or are in the pay of the enemy
and desirous of bringing Russia to ruin"

Tr 0 s OF CHURCH'S ORIGIN
Tells of the Advantages of Having
Strong Church for Immigrants
to Affiliate With When
They Reach Country.
r o s OF CHURCH'S ORIGIN

Washington, January 29.-President
Roosevelt delivered an address today at
the redeeication of the Lutheran Place
damaged by fire just one year ago to-
night. The President spoke as follows:
"Dr. Butler-It is a great pleasure to
meet with you this morning and say a
word of greeting on the occasion of the
re-dedication of this church. coming as
it does almost simultaneously with the
entry of your pastor into his eightieth
year.
From the standpoint from which I am
Obliged so continually to look at mat
ters, there Is peculiar function to be
played by the great Lutheran church in
the United States of America. This is a
church which had its rise to power in
and until it emgrated to this side of
the water had always had its fullest de-
velopment in the two great races of
northern and northern middle Europe
the German and the Scandinavian. The
Lrthern church came to the territory
which is now the United States very
shortly after the first permanent settle
ments were made within our limits; for
when the earliest settlers came to dwell
around the mouth of the Delaware, they
brought the Lutheran worship with
them, and so with the earliest German
settlers who came to Pennsylvania and
afterwards to New York and the noun
famous region in the western part of
Virginia, and the state south of it. From
that day to this, the history of the
growth in population in this nation has
considered largely in some respects
mainly of the arrival of successive waves
of newcomers to our shores; and the
prime duty of those already in the land
is to see that their own programme and
development are shared by these new
comers.
1T Is a serious and dangerous thing
for any man to tear loose from the soil,
from the region in which he and his for
bears have taken root and to be trans
planted into new land. He should
receive all possible aid In that new
land, and the aid can be rendered him
most effectively by those who can APP
peal to him on the ground of spiritual
kinship Therefore the Lutheran church
can do most in helping upwards and on
wards so many of the new corners to
our shores; and 1t seems to me that 1t
should be, l am tempted to say, well
nigh the prime duty of this church to
see that the immigrant, especially the
immigrant of Lutheran faith from the
cid world, whether he come from Scan
dinavia or Germany, or whether he be-
longs to one of the Lutheran countries
OF FINLAND or Hungary, or Austria,
may be not suffered to drift off with no
friendly hand extended to him out of all
the church communion, away from all
the influences that tend toward safe
guarding, and uplifting him; and that
he find ready at hand in this country
those eager to bring him into fellow
ship with the existing bodies"

Battle Began Last Wednesday.

Szenfangtai, sixty versts southwest of
Mukden, January 2S-via Pekih, January
ga battle commenced at daylight Janu-
airy 25 The right flank reinforced by
troops from the east began movement
against the Japanese left. One corps
leaving Szefangtai at midnight, January
"a. marched about seven miles southwest
and at daybreak attacked. The infantry
backed up by artillery drove the Japa-
nese from two villages at midday after
a sharp fight and continued to make
progress the rest of the right flank be-
coming engaged The Russian artillery
fire was heavy, but the Japanees remain
ed almost silent. The captured villages
presented a war-like picture with Japa-
nese and Russian dead lying side by side
in the streets.
The Russian infantry Kept under the
cover of the walls and houses to pro-
tect themselves from the Japanese fire
from adjoining villages.
The country is fiat and thickly popu-
lated, and the villages are large and
rich in foodstuffs.
1t is showing and bitterly cold. and
the troops eagerly seek the protection or
the villages, which in this district have
escaped destruction On January ~
there was a heavy fire along the right
flank front, and an advance was made.
The wind at the Russians backs drove
the snow into the faces of the Japanese
and it was very difficult to see any dis
tance. One Siberian rifle regiment suf-
fered heavy losses. January 26 the fight
ing continued on the right flank out
does not seem to be developing along
the center or eastern flank.
Probably the cold weather prevents
further continuance of the battle.
There Is more artillery on both sides
than in any former battle of history.
