the faith IN the power OF the ikona to

A custom of the Firms which is

indication Of their simplicity, as we'll

certain intervals they proceed 10 the
cemeteries and place portions of cooked

whose deaths have occurred recently.
At such times A prayer is said to the
effect that the departed viii please &C

performance is called laying the

Black and White Clergy.

In Russia there are two kinds Of
ministers, known as the black and the
white clergy The monks compose the
former, while the latter is made Up OF
parish priests who marry. 1t is q fact
worthy of comment that in Russia the
clergy are rarely invited to public
gatherings. and are seldom received in
any kind Of society. Although the
Greek churches contain much treasure
In the form IF paintings and art, and
the monaster,es are reputed to be very
rich. the parish priests are nearly al
ways poor. They are accused of ex-
torting money from the peasants by
refusing 20 perform The rites Of hap
tism OF burial until certain price is
paid but the excuse is made that they
could get nothing for their work unless
they forced payment in this manner.
The people have little respect for the
members Of the priesthood. They look
upon them with contempt and feel
their support a burden. Most OF the
humorous literature contains sibes at
the expense Of the priest, his wife or
his laboTer. The proverbs and popular
songs also contain uucomplimentary
references to them. 10 confirming this
attitude Of the people one priest said:

Priests Fight at Altar.
Disrespect for tae priests IS wide
spread and many hard stories are cold
Of them. A government agent who
spent much time in trying To ascertain
the cause Of the disaffeCtiCn Of the DeO-
PIE ana the clergy, reported an instance
where a priest stole money from under
the pillow of a dying man; another
where two mem bers Of the clergy mad
q fight during service and hammered
each other with the crosses they held
in their hands. Many cases were re
ported where had language had been
used at the altar during service. and
drunkenness vas found to be quite
common
At the place where priests are hired
to conduct services in private chaTels,
about the same sort n hard bsrZa lining
occurs as one hears ip the nearby b1-
Ears. The members Of the clergy Try
TO put the price up or those who would
employ them. and the servants try TO
get them as cheaply as they can for
their masters. One witness tells about
a priest who held q slice Of bread in
his hands as he diCkered with the SCR
want Of rich noble. IF you don't

"The Gar Is Far Off"
The feeling Of disrespect. for the
Priests is so great that its manifesta-
tiol. often takes the form of physical
violence This is particularly true Of
priests whose churches are located on
private land In the oljcn times tire
members Of the clergy were almost as
much in the power Of the landlord as
the serfs. On one occa sion a proprietor
entertained his guests ~ having the
neighbOThCOd priest ducked IN he pond
several times on cold winters day.
Another member Of TIE clergy who
failed to zip his hat when passing the
landlords house was put in barrel
and rolled down bill to make him more
mindful Of his manners in future. The
difficulty Of obtaining redress for such
n 'strcatment Is shown in the oft-qUot-
&C Russian proverb. Heaven is high
and the car is fer off"
The riualistiC trend Of the orthodox
religion is shown by the inLGmeTa bic
