fore this time German mis-
sionaries had commenced
the work, but the people
were reluctant to accept the
truths Of the faith from the
lips Of men they knew were
not their own, who could
not speak their language,
who, in fact, were in most
cases the political emissaries
of the German rulers, and,
hence, enemies Of the Slovak
people. Rastislav realized
this and Immediately sent
messengers to the Greek
Michael. Legend has it that
Rastislav visioned an angel
in his dreams pointing east
ward and for that reason
sent messengers to the East.
The messengers spoke thus
to Michael, the Ruler: Many
christian teachers have al
ready come to US from Italy,
Greece, and Germany -
teaching us various doctrines.
We SLOVAKS are a simple
people and do not know who
could teach us to know the
true doctrines; on that ac-
count, gracious Emperor,
send us such a person as
will bring us the whole
truth
Emperor Michael heard
Rastislav's plea and ordered
the brothers Cyril and Me-
thod, experienced and zeal
Gus priests, to prepare for
their work in the land Of
Rastislav, because they un-
derstood and could speak the
language Of his people. They
arrived in the land Of our
forefathers in 1863.

VI RoOS.
The primitive SLOVAKS
invoked their gods in sacred
groves and hollows. They
offered sacrifices to the i'm
ages Of wood and stone thru
their priests. The White
Priests (bieloknaznici) serv-
ed and invoked only the
good (Waite) gods, while
the Black Priests (Cerno-
khaznfci) served and in
voked the Black gods. The
White Priests were the most
important men of the tribe;
they presided in councils,
passed judgment, and ad-
vised their people at all
times. The magicians were
believed to possess the oc-
cult powers of transforming
persons into beasts and ina
inmate objects.
Our pagan ancestors sacri-
feed vegetables, grain, ami
mails, and in time of war or
grave calamity, even human
beings-generally their enc
mics. The SLOVAKS cre-
mated their dead and placed
their ashes in urns of clay.
If a chieftain died, his wife
or daughter was generally
buried with him. Mounds of
clay and stone were made
over burial places; the great
er the mound, the more i'm
portant was the person in
life. Believing in immortali-
ty, the SLOVAKS always
supplied the dead with food,
weapons, wine and jewelry,
After the burial ceremony
the SLOVAKS always feast.

THE SLOVAKS
EARLY History.

Our forefathers came in
to their present territory
from beyond the Carpathian
Mountains, probably from
India. There is evidence that
they occupied their present
territory centuries before the
christian era, The Slayonic

territory Whlch TODAY con-
stitutes Slovakia. In the
neighboring territory of Mo-
ravia ruled another vassal
prince, Mojmfr J., whose seat
Of government was at Vele-
brad. Mojmfr had set his
mind on forming a centraliz-
ed Moravian kingdom, but
the other vassal princes stood
in his way. He took up arms
against Pribina, defeated
and drove him out Of Slova-
kia. Pribina sought the aid
of King Louis the German
who ruled over Bavaria.
Louis promised aid, but urg-
ed the pagan Pribina to ac-
cept christianity. With the
aid Of Louis, the now Chris
tian Pribina returned to his
Mira principally, where
shortly after he had erected
the first christian church on
Slovak territory. That hap
pened in the years S3O-S33.
Pribina, however, was una
BILE to hold his domain and
was again forced to leave it.
Pribina then received from
Louis the principally on the
other side of Danube, the
Blatno territory. Pribina
never returned to Slovakia

his death in $50.

with mining; they knew how
to melt and mold metals.
The Slavs prepared salt,
made cloth, brewed beer,
grated trees, and lived &C.
cording to their manner a
happy, musical life."
The historian Procopius
(562) recorded that the
SLAVS were rather tall, har.
dy, blond-haired men; homes
ty marked their characters.
The SLOVAKS Of old
had names for implements,
furniture, grains, fruit trees,
trades ETC., e. 8. they had
their own words for: plow,
iron, cloth, needle, pliers,
wheel, wagon, seal, ring,
blacksmith, spoon, clothier,
butcher, cape, jeweler etc.
Our ancestors did their
battles on foot with lances,
spears, swords, and axes,
they also used the sling and
the bow and arrow. They
preferred to fight in swamps
and marshes, forests and
thickets. They were general
ly known as a peace-loving
people, but when called to
arms for their fatherland,
or when an enemy harassed
them, they fought as any
other people would under
the conditions.
Our ancestors undoubted-
ly had a literature of their
own also. They were a musi-
cal people and as such had
many folk songs. Some of
the old compositions are men
toned in Slovak literature
books today. It is impossible
to say exactly when and by
whom they were composed.
Some historians and students
of literature claim that much
of the literature of our pagan
ancestors disappeared with
the advent of christianity,
which, they say, spelled the
end not only for their pagan
gods, but also for many of
their pagan customs and
literature. ...

THE SLAVONIC PEOPLES

The history Of the SLAVS
is yelled almost up to the
ninth century. The name
"SLAY'' is not mentioned un-
til the sixth century. The
Greek historian j.. Herodotus
referred to them as 'Thraces'
in about 444 B. c.; other
Greek and Roman writer's
termed them "Getes", be-
cause they busted themselves
with the soil. Some of the
early historians used the
word "Gotes' and confusion
resulted. .,:a
| Archeologists and histori-
ans contend that the Slavs
occupied their present terri
tories long before the christ
ian era. Slavonic names of
places, rivers, and lakes are
recorded in the history of
the first four centuries AID.
It is not unreasonable to sus-
pect that the Slavonic peo-
pies are descendants of COM
mon stock or tribe. History
does, however, tell us defi-
nitely that the SLAVS were
not nomadic but a home
loving people devoted to ag-
riculture and animal hus-
bandry.& q ."4
There are three groups of
Slavonic peoples:
sn1.H The EASTERN-Rus-
slams. Il 1f'..'
@. The WESTERN-Poles,
Sloyaks, Czechs or Bohemi-
ans, and Serbs (in Germa-
N.Y." 80

garians.
The Czechs and SLOVAKs
occupy the territory known
as Czecho-Slovakia today,
while the Serbs, Croats and
Slovenes make up the state
Of Yugoslavia. The numbe,
of SLAVS in the world il
estimated at more than 225,.

slams.
It is we'll to note here that
the Magyars, citizens or ma
tives Of Hungary as the,
claim themselves to be, dt
not belong to the SLAVONIC
group Of peoples; the latter
are CAUCASIANS, whereas
the MAGYARS are of tn,
Altai MONGOLIAN race.
As in all history, 1t will
be impossible to give th'
history Of the Slovaks with
out bringing in the history o
the bordering nations. Un
doubtedly the SLOVAKs
were influenced by other ma
tionalities, just as they in

THE STORY OF THE SLOVAKS
BY P. A. HROBAK.

groups occupied the terrific
ries that now constitute Ger
many, Austria, Hungary,
Russia, Poland, Bulgaria,
Yugoslavia and Rumania.
The disintegration Of the
great Slavonic tribe came on
with the centuries; separate
nations or groups developed
their own culture, literature,
and customs.
It has not been definitely
disclosed just how the word
"SLOVAK" originated. We
do suspect, however, that it
is derived from "SLOVO",
which means "word". It was
used to designate the people
who used words, just as the
slovaks themselves designate
or call others by similar
terms, e. g. Nemec (mute)--
German.
The SLOVAKS had no
rulers in the ancient days;
their life was patriarchal.
There were many tribes -
as many as there were fam
lilies - and the father was.
the chief or head of the
tribe. After the death of the
father, the eldest son gene
rally shouldered the burdens
of the chief. The territories
occupied by the tribes were
called "Dediny'', the land or
territory of their grandfath-
ers, or forefathers. In time
many of the tribes were
forced to unite to fight a
common enemy. Many at
tempts were made to unite
the Slavonic tribes, especial
ly the SLOVAKS and the
CZECHS in the past. centu-
ries. This feat was accomp-
lished, history tells us, as
early as GIT by a certain
Samo, who defeated the A.
vars. He was acclaimed
king by the people. Samo's
great Slavonic State, how
ever, passed away with his
death. Later many of the
tribes were assimilated or
absorbed by stronger peo-
Piles.
Slovak Mythology.
| Before the ninth century
the SLOVAKS were pagana,
just as were most Of the
other nations. They believed
in a Supreme Being and in
Immortality. They had q
White God, the god of all
good, and q Black God, the
god Of all evils and death
The Supreme Being was call,
