A Russian Nobleman.

Count Tolstoi says there ia no freedom of worship in Russia. Irrimediatoly a man becomes an " apoatie "—in other words, immediately he leaves the Orthodox Greek Church — he comes under the care of the High Procurator of the Holy Synod. Iliis children are taken out of his keeping, bis property is confiscated, and if he lvt'iiaes to recant he is sent to prison, and possibly to Siberia or into banishment. Referring to Stundists, the Count saya they-- are Russian Dissenters. They form a sect which believes in nonresistance. Most of them are opposed to war, to the taking of oaths, and they believe that the whole of the rules necessary for conduct are to be found in the New Testament. It is these Dissenters that the new Russian Czar is determined to exterminate.
