FAMOUS RUSSIAN PRIEST.
How Father John of Cronstadt Was
Revered by Peasantry and Royalty.

How Father John of Cronstadt Was
Revered by Peasantry and Royalty.
Although a broad minded man and
a scoffer at superstition, the late
Father John of Cronstadt, Russia. by
his zeal and devotion to the church
made such a deep impression ON the
people of Russia that lie was univer-
sally known there as the holy seer
and miracle worker Of the empire.
A. medieval spirit pervaded tie
Russian church, and largely the life
Of the people, at the beginning Of his
ministry In 1855, but by his unique
methods, his life and his personality
he intrenched himself firmly in the
hearts Of the Russians. His fame
spread, healing powers were ascribed
to him, the raising from the dead Of a
girl in a cancer hospital at ST. Peters
burg was attributed to him, and his
house soon became the Mecca for pill.

1t was not merely among the lOwly,
however, that Father John was re-
Yered and adored. The late EmperGs

Alexander Ill. admired the sterling
qualities of the priest ard constantly
honored and befrended him 1t was
for him that he sent when he lay dy-
ing, and it was from his hands that
the last sacraments of the church
We're administered. Father John also
appeared as a conspicuous figure 1t
the solemnities attending the corona
tion of the present car.
The faith which the present empress
placed in Father John was shown
when she made the pilgrimage to the
shrine of st. Seraphim to pray for the
desired heir to the Russian throne.
The surname of the dead priest was
Sergieff. but it was known to only n
few of his followers, he being Father
John to virtually all.
The ignorance and the religious ia
naticism of the Russian peasantry are
Illustrated in striking manner by the
almost blasphemous veneration of
which Father John, much against his
will, was made the object. Some time
ago a peasant in the government of
Kostroma wrote a hymn in homer of
Father John, placing him almost on an
| equality with the persons of the Trim
fly. The Kronstadt priest wrote So
we're letter to the peasant. rebukiny
| him for his blasphemy, but this had
no effect, so he was compelled to go
| In person to Kostroma in order to
put a stop to the growth of Il sect
| which was being founded to worship
| him. This is only one case out OF
many There are cases I'm which peas.
ants openly maintain their conviction
that Father John was the Christ. the

One aged pilgrim who holds fast this
| belief when he was arrested and
threatened with punishment declared
( with enthusiasm that he would gladly
die for his savior. Portraits Of Father
John are frequently used as icons and
are venerated in the same way.

The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says: "One of the
objects of the law is to inform the con-
sumer of the presence of certain
harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount of chlor-
oform, opium, morphine, and other
habit forming drugs be stated on the
label of each bottle. The manufacture
ers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
have always claimed that their remedy
did not contain any of these drugs.
and the truth of this claim is now fully
proven, as no mention of them is made
on the label. This remedy is not only
one Of the safest, but one of the best
in use for coughs and colds. Its value
has been proven beyond question dur
ing the many years it has been in
general use. For sale by all druggists
