and imprisoned once more. The next
year there was another attempt at
pilgrimage. but by that time Father"
Vergin was in control and it amount
ed to nothing.
About the time that Nerigin came
into the full powers of leadership
movement was set afoot to persuade
the government to take back the
largest part of the original grant to
the Dcukhobors. Those behind the
agitation claimed that the community

were released finally, and reached CANADA
about six years ago. His followers almos1
defy him, as they had his six great predecessors
who ruled like the kings prophets of ole
during the time that the sect sojourned il
Russia. During his long exile he became
firm convert to the theories of Tolstoy, and /.
years ago wrote an epistle to his follower
which is made up chiefly Of passages borrowed
verbatim from Tolstoy's Kingdom OF Goo
Is Within YOU" and containing in particular
one long passage from that book-a quotation
of Tolstoy's translation of the Declaration OF
Sentiments which William Lloyd Garrison
drew up in 1888 for Peace convention held in
Boston. This epistle is part Of the sacred lore
of the Doukhobors. 1t contains no acknowl-
edgment of the fact that it was taken mostly
from Tolstoy. There probably more people
in Assiniboia and Saskatchewan to-day who
can repeat the long passage from Garrison's
declaration than there are in the United
States who ever heard OF it.
The disturbers among the Doukhobors be-
long to the reactionary fanatical element.
and these made themselves felt to such
extent before Verigin arrived in Canada that
at one time there was serious talk of bundng
up all Of the thousands Of Doukhobors and
shipping them out of Canada-no one cared
much whittier. AT that time it was
sidered that the czar had played colossal
joke on Canada by letting the 1000 odd Douk
hobors leave his realm, and it was a matter
of congratulation among the Canadians that
the 10000 more who stayed behind in the
Wet mountains of the Caucasus were too stub
born too fearful to emigrate.
1t was this fanatical element that was re-
sponsbe for the pilgrimage in search Of
Jesus" in 1902 These fanatics belonged to
the Yorkton colonists and professed the be-
lief that the use of animals as beasts of bur-
den was unscrptural and that Christ would
soon come again in person. They set free
nearly 500 anmals-which were caught by the
authorities anc sold back to the more sober
minded Doukhobors. Meantime some 600 men,
women and children set out across the snow
covered prairie. where they expected the Mes
siah to meet them and lead them to evangelize
the world. They were poorly clad, they were
without food. except such as they could get

through their own stubbornness about obeying
the laws They received their land under the
terms of the Canadian homestead act. which,
among other things, requires that the person
who takes up homestead shall reside it
until he proves up" Now the solitary life
of the homesteader has attraction for the
Doukhobor, with his ages-old fondness for vii
lage living. The result that the Douk-
hobors, instead of remaining on their home
steads, established themselves in string of
villages, between 40 and so in number, that
sprawl across the plains for a distance of 100
miles northeast of Yorkton.
In due course the government gently re-
minded the Doukhobor leaders that their peo-
pie were in danger of losing their homesteads
through their failure to live them. The
stold refugees paid no attention to the warn
ing, and. in the end, they had their own way.
The powers OF the Dominion decided to let
them hold their land and live they wished

AS it is of the cardinal principles of this
religious sect that they shall take oaths of
any description. doubtless the instigators of
this enforcement of one of the Dominions
laws regarding alien settlers hoped that they
would move and leave their lands open for
purchase at low price. The government
knew the Doukhobors probably would refuse
to take any oath, partly on account of their
belief and partly because they would fear that
1t might lead them at some time to be forced
into military service. Therefore, the authori-
ties forbore to press the matter OF the oath OF
allegiance but contented themselves with in
timating to the Doukhobor leaders that his
majesty King Edward VII. would take 1t
personal favor II the brethren" would come
around when they found 1t convenient and
promise to be good subjects. This plan is
working fairly well. Something like 800 of the
