RUSSIA AND RELIGION

One of the things which puzzles the
average American is the fact that so
many of the so-called liberals" in the
churches of America as well as out,
have been prone during the past few
years to look with a kindly eye on the
communistic experiment in Russia.
Surely the present Russian system
has nothing in common with Christi
anity nor with any other sort of re-
ligion for that matter.
And indeed the latest dispatches
from the soviet autocratic govern
ment would seem to indicate still
further effort to make Russia an
atheistic country. Plans have been
made by the Supreme Council of In
dustry in Russia, it is stated, look
ing toward the abolition of Sunday as
a day of rest. Factories, mines and
brickyards are to run throughout the
week so that there will be continuous
industry, and many holidays, especi-
ally those having to do with the
church, are to be abolished. This will
make $50 working days in Russia and
a day off per week is to be allowed,
one-seventh of the workmen in each
industry one day during the week
Communistic leaders have asserted
that a Russian calendar with church
holidays is quite out of the question
as a permanent institution in the red
republic, and that the sooner these
are abolished the sooner the people
will forget religion. The object of
forgetting Christianity is, Of course,
that it is not in line with the teach
ings of communism, free love and the
destruction of family life.
But this is not all the story We
are informed by press dispatches that
the Russian Commissariat of Educa-
ton recently set aside sums of money
to maintain schools wherein the youth
of the land would "be enlightened
with regard to the non-eXistence Of
God and the faults of religion: be
taught that religion is a farce and a
fraud originated and maintained for
the purpose of keeping the workers
under the heel of capitalism" Com
munist Russia also has a mo Cod
society, the purpose of which is to
muster as many people as possible
under the banners Of no-religion.
1t is not certain of course that the
plans of the communists will succeed
The Russian peasants have always
been intensely religious. But it is to
be remembered that the reds are
well organized and constantly on the
job in everything that they under
take.
When American "liberals," some
wearing the cloth, tour Russia as
guests of the red republic and come
home to tell us about the beauties
of communism they generally fail tc
relate the startling facts as set out
above. Either they do not see what
is going on in Russia or they pur-
posely suppress part of the truth be-
cause under the guise of their Glib
eralism" they are in sympathy with
the anti-religious, anti-family plan OF

to approach that place with the wind
blowing in his face. This would mean
that the Merry Little BreezeS would

wonder what it is all about. I should
say that there was a young Bear by
that whimpering. I can't imagine an
old Bear whimpering like that"
Very, very carefully, watching each
Farmer Browns Boy crept forward. He
was beginning to have a queer feeling.
Those growls and snarls sounded ugly.
They sounded as If the maker Of them
was very angry indeed. Presently
Farmer Browns Boy realized that those
sounds we're coming from up in the air.
So he began to watch up In the trees.
And so at last he came to where he had
a full view of what was going on: .
For goodness Sake!" exclaimed
Farmer Browns Boy under his breath.
There are two Bears up In that tree,
and one of them is after the other. I
wonder what that means"
1t was just then that he became con-
scious of the hunming OF bees and
noticed the bees in cloud around
Buster Bear. Then he understood. Its
a bee tree!" he exclaimed to himself.
Its a bee tree! That smaller Bear
must have gone up first and been
trapped by Buster Bear. My. my, my,
just listen to them! Those bees are
making it hot for both of them and
the smaller Bear is scared almost out
of his skin besides. I wonder now IL that
can be the little rascal that had for
a pet. I wonder If 1t can be Cubby
Bear. If it is, he has grown some. The
little rascal! Just hear him bawl!"
Cubby was bawling. He was doing
just that. He didn't know what to do.
He couldn't go any higher and he
couldn't know that Buster Bear
wouldn't keep right on up after him.
You see, in his fright he had forgotten
all about the honey. Also, he didn't
stop to think that Buster was so much
bigger, that he couldn't climb up where
the tree was so small. So there Cubby
chung, bawling as only young Bear can
bawl, Shaping every now and then at
the singing bees and altogether quite
as miserable as he had ever been in all
his life. And down below him Buster
Bear was beginning to rip out pieces
of wood around the edge Of the hollow
in that tree and scoop out the honey.

Now, who under the sun is making
a noise like that?" said Farmer Browns
Boy to himself. There is something
going on over there. I must look
into It,"
The noise he could hear only family,
but as he moved ahead it grew louder
and presently he made out that it was
made up of snarls and growls and
whines and squeals and grunts. Did you
ever hear a noise like that? 1t is quite
a noise. Yes, sir, it is quite a noise.
Farmer Browns Boy stopped He didn't
know just what to make of this. It
would be wise to be cautious. He wet
one finger and held it up. BY means
of this he could tell which way the

Farmer Browns Boy was over in the
Green Forest. He wasn't there for any
thing in particular-mQ ely because he
loves to be in the Green Forest. There
is always something to see and some
thing to learn in the Green Forest and
no one knows it better than Farmer
Browns Boy. He had gone some dis
lance In and was just about to turn

Little Breeze brought him a curious
sounding noise Farmer Browns Boy
stopped and listened.

procession, the ensembles-for these
can hardly be called suits-made with
full-length coats. Despite the vogue
for the shorter coat, full-length coats
have made their appearance and will
meet with the approval OF the women
who want generally useful coat that
may be worn over other frocks.
AS a general thing the degree of for
maiity Of the ensemble may be judged
By the length Of the coat-the short
hip-lsngth for sports and the full-length
one for formal afternoon. This despite
the fact that at Southern resorts at
present the shorter afternoon wrap
has made its appearance.
Street and sports suits are almost
always made with more or less conven-
tionally tailored collar. Those for
afternoon are sometimes collarleSs,
sometimes made with detachable fur
scarf and sometimes with fabric scarf
that may be worn or left at home.
