Religious Liberty in Russia

In the land of the czar there are about 6,000,000 Protestants. To these, religious liberty is accorded, “with the stipulation that they must be born of Protestant parents, and must not proselyte.” For “Russians do not like people to change their religion; they think that to do so shows a lack of any strong conviction. They are, in fact, perfectly tolerant to the Protestant religion, and intolerant only when it touches the Greek Church.” Every Sunday, in the Protestant churches of St. Petersburg, preaching is heard in nine languages.
