THREATENED TO
WHIP PRIEST
Bolshevik Outrages in North
ern Russia Are Described
in Letter

Archangcl. April 29.-Archbishop
Nathaniel of Archangel and Knoll
mogory, has recently received let
ter from a priest of the parish OF
| Gust Outcha in which the plight OF
! the clergy of some of the villages of
Northern Russia under BolsheVlk
rule is described. The priest inform
ed the archbishop that, under threat
that he would be horsewhipped un-
less he paid the Bolsheviki 5000
rubles he was compelled to sell all
his property and ask his parishion-
ers to raise money for his ransom.
"A terrible wave of Bolshevism
has lately reached our little village"
writes the priest, Ivan A. Serebren-
nikow. The young soldiers and
sailors who are returning from the
front are infected with BolsheVlsm
and are making fun of everything
sacred. The majority were formerly
my parishioners but now they are
so wicked that they have ceased to
respect priests, old people and every
thing that is established, calling it
the old regime
Because of my preachings against
the establishment of eighteen places
for the manufacture of alcohol IN
this district, the Bolsheviki threat
ened to burn the church with me.
The real misfortunes of the clergy
began with the declaration of the
separation of the church and the
state. The wicked secretary of the
local Soviet proposed to turn the
church into a peoples theater and
the priests home into a school or
shop but the majority of the people
opposed it.
"In November last when the Boil
sheviki gained control of this dis
trict they arrested me and the dea-
con, demanding contribution OF
3, 1000 rubles and in case of refusal
[ was to be horsewhipped, my pos
sessions confscated and / was to be
deported to the Red Guard head
uuarters to dig trenches
Mr.. Galavin, a clerk OF an OH
company, from whom the BolsheVlki
demanded $1,000 rubles was horse
whipped and afterward shot.
When the Red Guard captured the
village of Gust Zilma, wrote the
priest. they committed all sorts OF
outrages, cutting off tongues ana
ears and finally throwing their VIC
Tins in the river" In conclusion
the priest asked the archbishop not
to send him back to the "trlghtlui
nightmare" at Gust Outcha.
