At that time, as in the modern
age, Russia was mainly a farming
country. The farmers were less
ready to change their religion than
the city folk. More than 300 years
passed before the old pagan faith
was ended on Russian farms.
1t would be a mistake to suppose
that nations religion could be
changed by force alone. Force was
used in Russia, but the people prob
ably would have gone back to their
old faith if it had not been for
missionaries. Earnest servants of
the Greek Christian church travelled
about Russia to teach their faith
to the people.
Christian churches of large size
and great splendor we're built in
Russia. Many Of the present-day
Russian churches are hundreds of
years old.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER-VIudmr HELPED Christian Russia

A thousand years ago. the Rus
SLAMS prayed to gods. which people
nowadays call pagan" The chief
god was known as Perun, and he
was said to have power over thunder
Among the other deities was
Stribog, god of the winds, and
Khorse, god of the sun. Images of
the gods we're placed in temples.
A Russian ruler named Vladimir
was champion of the old faith for
many years of his life. Then he
married a Christian princess, and
took on the Christian religion.
Vladimir spent most of his time
In Kiev, a city in Western Russia
with two rivers running through it..
After he turned Christian, he or
dered images of the old gods to be
pulled down, including one of Perun
which had a silver head and a
golden beard. Men were ordered to
whip the image of Perun and to
throw it into the river.
Those who believed in the old
religion were sorry to see such a
thing happen to their chief god
When officers of the law had left,
they fished Perun out of the river
and began to pray to him. This did
not last long-soldiers came to the
spot and broke up the crowd. Then
they tossed Perun back into the
water.
Soon there came an order for all

the people of Kiev to make ready
to be baptized. Thousands of men,
women and children entered the
water while priests read the words
of the baptism service.
Scenes of the same kind later took
place in other parts of Russia.
People in cities made the change
fairly peacefully, except in the old
city Of NoVgorod. In Novgorod there
was bloodshed when the people
would not obey orders.

The Trump Squeeze

A very effective play, which only
fine players seem to be acquainted
with, is known as the trump
squeeze This play may be exc
cuted when dummy holds more
trumps than the declarer. In a
recent duplicate game South, using
the trump squeeze, achieved a top
score by making one trick more
than any one else.

West opened the queen of spades
and East, after winning with the
ace, shifted to a club. South won
and then proceeded to run off five
tricks in trumps. On dummy's last
trump declarer discarded his only
diamond. Now the club suit was
run. Thinking he was squeezed,
West eventually discarded all his
spades in order to hold the ace
queen of diamonds. South's king ten
of spades then won the last two
tricks, so that the spade ace was the
only trick won by the defense.
In this case West discarded badly,
for he actually wasn't squeezed at
all. Nevertheless, the trump squeeze
had produced one trick more than
the hand called for.
