BOLSHEVISM HAS NEW FOE.
Society Formed in Omsk to Revive
Christianity in Russia.

Minneapolis Tribune.
A new force has been set loose in
Russia against Bolshevism. 1t has
the promise of being increasingly po-
tent BECAUSE it is a by product of the
deep religious instinct of the Rus
slams that has survived the cruelty
repressive policies and the un-Chris-
tian philosphoy Of the Leninites.
The nucleus of this latest anti-Bol-
shevist propaganda is a society form
ed in Omsk. The purpose is to project
it's influence all over Russia as time
and opportunity 1Ay permit. Some
thing of this kind has long been ex-
pected from the Russian people by
those who know them best and un-
derstand the ardor Of their love for
the church of their fathers. Particu-
larly have the peasants been deeply
religious and spiritually emotional
This fact helped the czar, the accredl-
ted head of the church, to maintain
his imperialistic hold on the affairs
of Russia.
The Bolsheviki are avowedly hos
tile to the Christian religion. They
have put church properties to other
than spiritual uses. They have dis
couraged religion, organized and un-
organized. They have repudiateo
Christian tenets regarding the nlarri.
age relation and the home. They
have no use for prayer and scott at
the idea of human being trying tc
bring himself into relationship with
a Divine friend and protector. Deny
ing there is hades hereafter, they
have established full fledged one in
Russia.
Despite all these non-theistic
preachings and policies, the Bolshe'
Wiki have been unable to smother the
Russian religious instinct. A vast
majority of the peasantry not only is
still outside the political pale of the
Leninites, but is said to be immune in
a spiritual sense from the poisonous
life philosophy Of that breeu. The
Omsk society may have given new VI,
tality to an old influence that vii!
eventually hurl Itself against the Boil,
shevist fallacy With fatal impact.

and the income has increased four
fold. Up to the present time, about
one-half of the men Of the congre-
cation have joined the insurance de-
partment and others are coming in
daily. The plan has only been in
operation since September and it has
not yet had time to reach its full
growth.
"There are some 10000 people
living around this church," said Mr..
Cornish yesterday, "and I feel safe in
saying that not more than 1000 have
seen the inside of a church. The
section where the church is located is
peopled largely by men who are
mechanics and by women who are en-
pioyed in different capacities. Practi-
cally all Of the men get the regular
union scale Of wages, and we know
that they pay in full days wage,
because We know what they make.

sions was the question and after some
study it was settled satisfactorily.
every person who joins this in
surance organization gives one days
wages monthly into the general fund.
True some men make more than
some of the women who belong, and
they pay in more money, but all pay
in one days wages. When a man
who is making say s5, gives in a
days wage, 81 is put to his credit
and 81 to the credit of his wife. If
a woman works at the navy yard or
anywhere, she gives in days wage
just as the men.

ance? This problem was met by
what is known as the group system.
