The most miraculous incident of the
rear-end collision of trains No. 80
and No. at Sulphur Springs Satur-

who returned from Sulphur Springs.
They stated that when clearing the
wreckage of the train, they found
15-year-old boy, whose name could
not be learned, lying on the pilot of
the engine. The boy was not serious
ly injured, but was pinned down by
debris. The youth declared that he
was on the rear OF the last coach on
the ill-fated train when the mighty

After confirming the statements OF the
Patriarch ns above, the Council con
tinues:
Moreover, the Russian people we're
profoundly convinced that the eonhS-
Gated treasures could not be applied 70

proloue Communism, which Is hostile
70 all religions, especially 20 Christi
an.ty. Moreover, Il is evident to every
unprejudieed mind that the original
cause and the reason for the awful pro-
portions Of the famine are due 70 Com
munism, which. during the last FIVE
years. systematically has been extermi-
mating all personal enterprise, the
source Of fruitful e1ertion, and de-
stroylng all social lie IN Russia
This explains, they state, the com
mon distrust and the many protests Of
the Russian population which have oe-
Cured IN every direction when the
Communist authorities attempted 20
execute the decree Of appropriation,
utterly without regard 20 the religious
Russians. "and such arc In the major
ity IN Russia, now religiously regen-
Grated"
And now the mere handful Of Com
munist rulers mean 20 try the head Of
the Russian Church, and the worst is
70 be expected, after the murder Of al
most every member Of the imperial
family, Of dozens Of bishops, thousands
Of priests (at which the ecclesiastical
authorities made no protest. and mil
lions Of the Russian people. "The in
tercession Of the representatives Of the
American Relief Administration in
Moscow says the Church Council,
"has saved many priests from death,
but the voice Of lforeign) governments
in the Patriareh's defense will have
much more influence
The second letter, signed by Metro
politan Anthony and appealing 10 every
enc who has any influence over civil
or ecclesiastical powers, eharaeterizes,
with the aid Of abundant and unfalter-
ing adjectives, the attitude and ac-
tions Of the Soviet government, de-
clarss that their object is 70 destroy
the. Church, "and they now have, as
they themselves openly confess, but
one purpose-to prolong their perilous,
anti-Christian rule over the ruined
peopl. by the aid Of the eonhsested
treasures" The Church Council also
contradicts the Soviet assertion, pro-
mulgated everywhere abroad, that the
Patriarch "abdicated." As his arrest
prevented his exercising any real gov
ernment over the Church, he tempo
rarily intrusted the management Of af-
fairs 10 his substitute, Metropolitan
Benjamin, Of Petrograd. Thereupon
the Soviet government promptly ar
rested Metropolitan Benjamin, incar-
cerated him and condemned him 20
