THE RUSSIAN FAITH INGOD-ATALK

'CONVINCES ONE OF HIS FERVENT BELIEF
The Russian people believe in (iod
This is the first fact that strikes |
every competent observer. Mr. Step
hen Graham Is Impressed by this be
lief all the time. Mr. Maurice Baring
never forgets it. Mr. H. O. Wells dis
covered it with some astonishment.
lrf*t me quote Mr. Haring. In his
hook, “What I Saw In Russia," he
says:
"If you talk to a peasant for two
minutes you will notice that he has a I
fervent belief in a great, good, and i
inscrutable Providence. He never
accuses man of the calamities to
which flesh is heir. When the rail
way strike was at its height and we
were held up at a srttail side station, j
the train attendant repeated all day
long that God had sent us a severe
trial, which He had.
"Yesterday I had a talk with a man
who had returned from the war, he
had been a soldier and surgeon's as
sltant, and had received the Gross of
St.. George for rescuing wounded of
ficers under fire. I asked him if he
had been wounded. He said, 'No,'
my clothes were not even touched;
rnen all around me were wounded.
This was the ordinance of God. God
had pity on the orphan’s tears. It
was all pre-arranged thus that I was
to come home it was to be.'
I Prayer for Him.
/*T also had tea with a stonemason
I'csterday who Md to me. 'I. and my
Fwhole family have praved for you in
■your absence, because these are times
Vs trouble, and we did not know what
hitter cup you might not have to
drink.' Then he gave me three new
laid with which to eHt his very
good health.”
It Is Important to remember the

Klui people, because it implies moat

Russia is the land of peasants. The
growing Industrial life of the cities is
naturally coloured and affected by
German and French interests, but the
peasant still remains the greatest fac
tor in Russian life, and dhe peasant
is still uninfluenced, (Mr. Stephen
Graham trusts he will remain unaf- I
fected) by western ideas. He Is mus

pate Russian stops to talk, philosophy,
weigh moral values, as his orthodox
brother prays or goes upon a pll
grimmago. These things are more
real to them than action, for both of
them there Is a tribunal where ver

Years ago I saw a good deal of the
Russian refugees in London—men
with gentle manners and wonderful,
deep eyes. They were revolutionists,
hut they were mystics. They were
delightful people to talk with, hut it
was easy to understand why their
plots nearly aiwayH failed.
The Russians and the Irish are the
most religions people -perhaps the
only religious people left in the
world.
We were told at the beginning of
this war by trembling Radicals that |
If Germany were defeated a vast ae- i
cession of power must necessarily I
accrue to the czar. I do not defend
the methods of ttie Russian govern
ment. I have not doubt whatever
that there are Influences at St. Pe
tersburg almost as mischievous and
menacing as the Insistent influences
at Berlin, but it Is almost certain that
the alliance with France and England
must lead to a modification of Rus
sian autocracy and to a quicker d«-

own lines.
Melodramatic Pictures.
, Popular English fiction and drama
have filled our minds with a series
of meiodrurnatic pictures concerning
] Russia and the Kusalana, hut the
I land of the czar is not really a mad

naughty grand dukes. It is a vast na

the most distinctive literature In Ku

Though his ranks he strong, If he be In
