Dear Friend

Helena, Montana.
Dear Friend:
| was not the least surprised, whel
Mr.. V. A. Robertson, Butte, Mont
istic epistle in reply to my recen
i"Yule-tide musings of Pagan Indian.
Mr. Robertson classifies me as g;
pagan, evidently clarifying in the de
plorable fact that Russia is goddess
Then follows the statements "WheI
Russia renowned the Christian reli
gion, it had been blessed with down
through the ages, Almighty Goo
turned away from that wicked nation,
and that Indians like me, living in
Christian land and to degree, en-
| joying the material benefits, (if not
the spirituaD of Christianity are eter-
nally lost up'ess there is a repenting
of the evil ways and an acceptance OF
Jesus" Indians should be very
thankful for the coming Of the white
men and their Introduction of Chris
tianity and civilization" Then Mr..
Robertson concludes his epistle to the
Pagan with this Illuminating remark
Outside of the Christian faith, there
is no nobility of character, no loyalty
of friendship, no hope of a blessed
immortality, no saints, etc."
If Mr. Robertson's communication
was not so pathetically dumb, it
would prove the most comical thing
I've read for sometime
Yes, it is true that l do kind Of
exult in the knowledge that I am
Pagan, particularly since there are
so many well-meaning folks of Brother
Robertson's type. Too many people
actuated by that limited outlook would
constitute real menace to freedom
of thought and expression, such as we
deplore in Italy and Germany.
Mr. Robertson, as Emerson wrote,
Everything hast its compensations,"
and being Pagan" gives me con-
siderable liberty that regret that you,
a Christian can not, by reason of your
fear complex, appreciate.
But be that as it is, I am positive
you do not know a thing about the
history of that Tzarist department of
state, known as the Greek church,
Or you would not refer to that
wretched institution as "the Christian
religion renowned by Russia" If
you were familiar with the ignorant, |
ustful, oppressive nature of that hell
sh organization, during its existence
n old Russia l am sure you would |
'ealize that the Russian people were
wise to forever bar it from the new
government. If your Deity approved |
If the dirty work of the Greek church
n Russia, then I'm sure the Russian
'agans are better, nobler, freer men
nd women for being goddess.
The modern Russians are deter
mined to remain free from such hid
Gus monstrosities as the wealthy, en-
LAYING state church of the Tzarist
egime with it's legions of cruel, lust
III, bestial monks and priests.
Mr.. Robertson you can easily verify
nese following statements regarding
ne true nature of Russia's unholy
reek church.
Russia was converted to Christian I
y by Vladimir, monster of cruellest
list. Vladimir, who was cannonized i
5 "a saint" was a fratricide. He ?
wned $500 concubines (sort of a
ussian Solomon, eh?). 6
Hear We, what H. A. Fisher, British :
storian says of Russia under the old
lurch mo where was beastly drunk
mess SO widely practised by women
well as men, by statesmen as well
peasants, by the monks and priests v
well as the laity. The widest n
uelty and the most unspeakable 0
rms of vice were here combined Il
tn the grossest religious supersti- b
ms encouraged by the black monks S
d white priest" N
Clergy and Tzars were much alike k
