" From the crowds gathering in front ef the nosters It was obvious how deeply Interested the people were in a religious question. Recently the heads of the Petrograd clergy. Metropolitan - Benjamin - and Fathers "Vedenskl and. Sirennki. called unon M. Zinovlev, preaideiat of the Fet- rograd soviet, and presented to him the following letter in the name of. the church: - "The Petrograd church at present la alarmed , by seemingly; false, , but per sistent, reports of the expected whole sale arrests and deportation of the Pet roemd .clergy on account of their counter revolutionism or as hostages. Knowing the soviet government's policy towards the church, we do not believe these reports. The clergy cannot ' by their very nature be white or red. The clergy serve Christ and stand outside y. lpolitlcs- If certain individual clergymen 't I eought to engage in politics ? without the approval of the cnurcn ana tne rivil authorities, tbey are naturally liable to bear the responsibility tor their action. But the Petrograd clergy firmly uphold 'the 'decree separating church and state. We engage In re ligious activity exclusively,- and religion in soviet Russia is not persecuted. In Petrograd where we work' it is under stood that the enforcement of the de cree separating church and state need not offend or oppress believers for be lieving. We explain the reports of ex. cesses in this regard by the fact that not everywhere do the soviet officials enforce their instructions correctly. The firm church policy pf the soviet gov ernment has created among the clergy and their followers in the Petrograd church ' a sense of genuine loyalty towards this government.; - The delegation - then officially In formed M. - Zlnovlev that the church authorities had decided Uo unfrock any clergyman found supporting the cause of the Whites fighting soviet Russia. In reply Zlnoviev assured the delegation that no arrests among the clergy had ever been contemplated and expressed the hope that the clergy would adhere strictly to the decree separating church and state.. .,,.:,.: Irish Dairy Trade ' Shows Big Increase 11 1 C. !.
