ARCHANGEL.—Archbishop Na
thaniel of Archangel and Kholmog
ory has recently received a letter
from a priest of the parish of Oust!
Cutcha in which the plight of the
clergy of some of the villages of
Northern Russia under Bolshevik
rule is described. The priest in
formed the archbishop that, under,
threat that he would be horse
whipped unless he paid the Bolsht
viki 3,000 rubles, he was compelled j
to sell all his property and ask \
his parishioners to raise money for1
his ransom.
“A terrible wave of Bolshevism
has lately reached our little village." j
writes the priest. Ivan A. Serebren- j
nikov. “The young soldiers and
sailors who are returning from the
front are infected with Bolshevism
and are making fun of everything
sacred. The majority were for
merly my parishioners, but now
they are so wicked that they have
ceased to respect priests, old people
and everything that is established,'
calling it the ‘old regime'.
“Because of my preachings
against the establishment of eighteen
places for the manufacture of al
cohol in this district, the B:d
sheviki threatened to burn the
church with me. The real mis
fortunes of the clergy began with
the declaration of the separation
of the church and the state. The
wicked secretary of the local soviet
proposed to turn the church into a
people’s theater and the priests'.
home into a school or a shop, but
the majority of the people op
posed it.
“In November last, when the
Bolosheviki gained, control of this
district, they arrested me and the
deacon, demanding a contribution
of 3,000 rubles, and in case of re
fusal I was to be horsewhipped,
my possessions' confiscated, and I
was to be deported to the Red
Guard headquarters to dig trenches." j
Mr. Galavin, a clerk of an oil
company, from whom the Bolsheviki
demanded 35,000 rubles, was horse-.
whipped and afterward shot.
When the Red Guard captured;
the village of Oust Zilma, wrote
the priest, “they committed all sorts
of outrages, cutting off tongues \
and ears and finally throwing their :
victims in the river.” In conclusion
the priest asked the archbishop not
to send him back to the “frightful
nightmare" at Oust Outeha.
SCHOOL TERM ENOS; j
VACATION BEGINS;
With the presentation of the clos
ing exercises at the Union hall Sat
urday night, the school year was
brought to a close and the long
summer vacation began.
The next term of school will
commence on the first Monday in
September, which happens to fall;
on the first day of the month. The
children are now free from all,
bares in so far as their studies arc j
concerned, and probably will de-1
vote the time at their disposal to I
the pursuits dear to the hearts of
the young. Truck and fiowet gar-;
dens around town will now receive
a greater amount of attention than \
heretofore.
A full report of the school term ;
just brought to a close is now be-:
ing prepared, and probably will lie
published in the News tomorrow. '
