Tho civilizod world must bo some what startled to realize that Russia his suddenly sot herself up its the champion of Christianity against Japan's '-pagan" encroachments In Korea. It is hardly to bo oxpectod "that a pooplo guilty of tho Llshinoff massa cres could ovor poso us tho defenders of any wholesome religious faith. But tho unexpected has hnpponod. M. Pavloir, Russian minister to Koroi, said the othor day: "Russia will protect Korean sov ereignty at all costs. She would re gard tho landing of Japaneso troops In Korea ns ait unfriendly net, unci would defend tho independence of Korea against pagan invadors." It is indeed a touching picture that M. Pavlof presents Russia as tho do fendor of a froofovoreignty. tho friend of independence! But even this is not quite so touch ing ns tho suggestion that Ruisia will throw about Korea tho aegis of Chris tianity us a pr tection against the en croachments of Japanese paganism. It is diflluult to boliovo that Korea hiingors for such protection, sinco its inhabitants belong to tho samo relle- ious family ns tho Japanese. It Is oven more diflleult to boliov,o that any serious intention of promot ing Christianity is ontertalnad by a nation which Tolstoi, its own distin guished subject, has occusod of "In culcating by forco in tho Russian poo plo an idolatrous faith instead of Christianity." But, of coureo, having dotormined to extend its zone in Krea, ono excuse Is as good as anothor in tho mouth of Russian diplomats. Mother Gray' Sweet Powden for Children.
