Stand or Cossacks.
This "army" carried on a successful
campaign against the troops guarding
the railroad stations, who were driven
back for some forty miles along the
line with considerable loss. The revo-
lutionists conceived the plan of march
ing to Rostoff- on Don, $50 miles away,
and even talked of continuing on to
Kharkoff to join hands with the sup
posed revolutionary army there. They
were to stop on the way and attack
the important arsenal at Georgievsk,
where there are large stores OF rifles,
cannon and machine guns.
The "army" was attacked by three
companies of Cossacls, whom it de.
feated with heavy loss, most of the
survivors being killed during their
flight across the thin ice of stream.
Later the army" encountered col
umn consisting of infantry, battery
Of artillery and several companies of
Cossacks. This column was too strong
to be resisted, and the revolutionary
leaders, after a hasty council of war,
fled. The republic" then came to an
end.
At Viatka, in the government Of
that name, a band largely composed
of school boys and school girls seized
the waterworks, which they held for
fifteen hours against whole battalion
of infantry. The troops were attacked
in the rear by two companies Of revo-
lutionaries, who We're finally driven to
n fortified house. This house was capt
ured after bombardment lasting two
hours. Among the killed was the col.
onel commanding the troops.

Last Friday afternoon an especially in
teresting talk was given by Rev. Nj. G.
Nelson of Danville, P. Q. He impressed
upon the students the fact that we are in
no sense creatures of circumstance, that
we are not bound by environment, but
have the privilege of making our own
opportunities in life. He further empha-
sized the duty of each one to make the
most out of life for himself, for in this he
is sure to help those around him. Three
clements necessary in doing this are per
fect integrity, thoroughness in everything
undertaken, and persistency in following
ones ideal in life.
Rev. ]. A. Thompson conducted the
devotional services Thursday morning.
