Article XIX.
BY FRANK coMERFoRp.

An examination of Russia. the pa
tient, Just before the treatment WAS
started, reveals several findings which
are necessary to complete the history
and physical examination.
Russia was IS per cent illiterate.
This means that nearly four-ffths of
the people In Russia could not read
or write. 1t does not mean that they
could not think. There Is as great
difference between illiteracy and in
telligence as there is between illiteracy
and ignorance. have met many Rus
sian peasants who could not read or
write, who had good native ninds,
genuine power of easoning-hOme-
spun thinkers. The head Of Russia
had not been trained, but 1t was not
empty.
There are many reasons for the IL
literacy of the great majority of Rus
sian people. The autocratic state was
the principal conspirator against the
Russian people getting an education.
The autocrats knew that ignorance is
the greatest insurance against up
risings. the greatest sedative to keep
the slave from complaining. The
Church in Russia, the Orthodox
Church, was used to keep the light
from the people. The car was the
little Father" the divine agent of
God on car; h, and the "Unholy Synod"
of the Russian Church bowed not be-
fore the Christ, but bent low before
the czar. They betrayed Christ, even
as they betrayed the sons and daugh-
tiers of men, their own blood, the Rus
sian peasants and toilers.

Religion Their Only Solaoe.

Religion Their Only Soaoe.
The people of Russia held firmly
to their faith in God The rest and
ease their faith gave them was the
only comfort they had. In moments
of intense religious communion they
were lifted out of themselves and for
seconds forgot their. burdens, These
seconds were long spaces Of relief.
green spots in the endless desert waste
of life.
How Christ must have wept when he
witnessed the "Holy Synod" the
monkish rascals, with their sacrlegious
icons, silencing the protests of souls,
throttling the cry for freedom, by
who suffered most here would he high
est in heaven. A hasphemy, cor
ruption of the Lowly One who used
the word brotherhood to define equal
ity, and the fatherhood of God to ex-
press the justice that man owed to
man.
II was agreed by and between the
Holy Synod and the cZars that the
Russian worshipers Of God must not
know how to read or write his name
So II was that the orthodox church
of Russia used religion to insult God
and hold his creatures In bondage. II
was the only great church in the
world that did not provide prayer
books for It's members. II was ar
gued that II the people had prayer
books they would learn to read, and
If they read the Christ message on the
Sabbath they might read other strange
and dangerous books on Monday and
Tuesday and the other days of the
week. They might misuse their abil-
ity to read. and read things like the
American Declaration Of Independ-
ence. The churches OF the Byzantine
painted the story of religion on the
side of its walls. They gave the peo.
pie an education by the picture book
method we use for children before
they have reached the kindergarten
age.
