THE RUSSIAN FAITH INGOD-ATALK WITH A PEASANT FOR TWO MINUTES '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 k/alth of the great mass of the Rus- Klui people, because it implies moat PLA-MATE SHOES FOR SCHOOL No other shoes are as highly recommend ed bv physicians who appreciate how much the general health of a child is de pendent on the care of the feet.

Mere ly to believe in God nowadays is to In. almost offensively eccentric. In Russia on Palm Sunday the police man prays at the corner of the street 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 ical, Intensely charitable, as distrust : ful as nearly all countrymen are, and highly imaginative Indeed, the de scriptions of the Russian peasant by Mr. Baring and Mr. Graham inevit ably remind one of the peasants one ■Nil In Ireland. , “Intaliflengia.” The "Intellgensta" is, is I have said, Europeanize Mr. Graham has de nounced its fallings very vigorously, i and it appears to have acquired some ; of the deplorable unmorallty and de cadence common In modern Germany, and probably accountable for much j that is vastly astonishing us today. 1 But with ail this, the qualities app&r- I ent In the peasant are to be found among Russian educated me.n and wo -1 men. Mr. Wells says: "In Russia things are taken se- J riously. The Russian's soul, just as ! |,|s churches and his pictures and bis children's toys, is done in stronger. ( simpler, more emphatic colors.

These things are more real to them than action, for both of them there Is a tribunal where ver dicts matter more than the bare facts, the practicalities of life, the superfic ialities of life.” 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«- ] velopment- not of alien Institutions, | hut of the Russian nation along its 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 I jumble of Cossacks and knouts and ! pogoroms and gentle Nihlllts and naughty grand dukes. It is a vast na tion of men and women who have not 1 forgotten how to dream. In the last | century it produced what, Is perhaps the most distinctive literature In Ku ] rope.
