Mr. M. L. Roberts, and Mrs. H. S.

achievement. Mr. Fred Foster, of Madi-

fsappy speech. The meeting then ad
journed to the train. Madison cheered the
jisiuty as they started on their homeward
journey, and when they arrived in Macon
«very one of them accounted tho day that

show the tenderest regard. Among them
there is no such thing ns immorality.
Tiie civil marriage tie only is acknowl
edged, and is as solemnly married as a
sacred institution. They have but few
rites and ceremonies. There is the morn-
ing gathering of the family for a short ad
dress and a hymn, and on Sundays the
Chapel street school of Positivists opens
its doors to them. Like our Peculiar
People, these communists or Positivists
dispense with medical aid in ease of sick
ness, hut they do not pray over or anoint
the sick man and then leave nature to
work its course. There is a guide for
them in the works and writings of
Dr. Thrall, an American scien
tist, who has drawn up a
complete system of hygienic living. From
this n child is taught to diagnose, as it
were, any little ailment, and measu.es are
taken accordingly. Mr. Frey’s experience
is that children can be taught to watch
first symptoms and act on them in a mar-
vcllons manner. Unlike our peculiar
people, who qnote the Bible as their au-
tlioritv, and who justify their actions by
appealing to the word f St. James, these
Russians recognize no divinity, in Christ,
and appeal only, as they sav, to common-
sense. Though worshippers of humanity,
they are no hard-and-fast followers of
Comte, who, they say, was not infallible,
and wlio had Ins weak points, as every
man has, hut they try to act up to their
belief in humanity. They live openly,
They live for others.
Poor though these people rasv fie, there
is a sturdy independence about them
which is refreshing. They are a!! rage-
earners. Of those in England some are
earning money by writing in the Russian
magazine*. One is a printer (they have
printing press of their own), another is
working jeweller, and others are bakers of
a whole-meal bread which has been recom
mended by the Vegetarian Society, nnd for
which there lias been inch a demand lately
that their powers of supplying it have been
somewhat strained,
