Another queer sect Is called Hlistys, or
people of God" who practice life OF
absolute chastity, mutilate their bodies.
fnfiict torture upon themselves. refuse to
accept any compensation but food for
their labor, renounce all luxuries and
comforts and believe that by SO doing
they purify their spirits and become per-
feet in holiness.
Another and similar sect styles itself
the Stundists, or Brethren in Friend
ship with God" They adhere to a
strict Interpretation of the Bible. live SIM
Die lives, renounce wealth, give all tney
have to the poor. condemn the institu-
tfons and ceremonies OF the Russian
Church and are intolerant toward people
who do not agree with them.
The "Old Believers" or Douhoboftsy
sect many of whom have emigrated to
Canada, are quite numerous down here.
and are among the most prosperous and
successful of the farmers. They were
banished from northern Russia TO the
Caucasus during the reign of Alexander
I. and forcibly deported by the govern
ment at the instigation Of the Holy
SYNOD. They are. however. honest, in
dustrious, law-abiding farmers, who edu-
cate their children with great care. prac-
fice all the virtues we commend and are
at fault only in some odd practices and
oueer manifestations Of spirituality which
are not conventional.
