The struggle for religious liberty In Russia is going on energetically. - 3.0 spite' of thes Czar's manifesto granting religious liberty, the per: --locution .61 other creeds hascon- tinued unabated, not only against non-Christian religions, but, as is - usually the case, those nearest the orthodox church continued to re- ceive the sharpest ho,stility.

Saving faith is the feith that saves a Min from dead forms into living realities, into higher endeavors, in- t.- newness of living, If religion is only a certain fixed set of ideas then one can be religi- ous without being anything else in particular. It is then possible to think of a religious man who is without any speciel evidence of his faith in his 'conduct.
