NELSON, British Columbia, May IT.
---Nudisn, practiced not as fad but
as a protest against wrongs, real or
fancied, has put sos Doukhobors in the
shadow of the penitentiary.
The arrest of 254 of these religionists
Sunday for parading in the nude is but

of charlottesville Christian COM
munity of universal brotherhood. The
brotherhood disapproved certain prac-
tices of the sons of freedom and
ordered them from the colony. allotting
them territory removed from the main
group.
The attorney general of the province
suggested that if the sons of freedom
hold a grievance against the COM
munity Doukhobors, they take the
matter to court.
NO" he was told. I'VE are Chris
tians, and we forgive them"
There have been bombings intermit
tently in recent years, and buildings
have been burned.
The Doukhobors have been especially
bitter against the insistence of author
ities that Doukhobor children attend
public schools.
