of Moscow, the majority of the
Kinder worshipers were men
and women who belonged to the "gen

nnd clerks mingled freely among their
lurda nnd principals, for on this morn
Ing all were brothers and ulsters.
A little to one side, at the foot of tbe
i ollln containing the Image which 1b al
ways used In the Kinder rites, a young
girl was supporting on her arm an old
woman. The girl's face was pale but
nullum with n spiritual adoration. Her
lnn- blue eyes were fixed upon apace;
her lips were slightly parted. Not far
away a young man leaning against a
pillar stood atntuellke with hla ayes

but his eyes shone with adoration of
tilings not altogether spiritual.
