The Molokaners of Russia.

A MISSIONARY in Russia, Mr. Roth, states that the Molokaners of Russia number many thousand families, and that they are eminent for piety, biblical knowledge, and for suffering in the cause of Christ from the persecution of the Russian government. The missionary speaks thus of a conversation with an aged member of this sect: "You may imagine my surprise when after some general remarks on religious topics, he addressed me as follows: I 'should feel greatly obliged if you will give me your opinion, whether we Molokaners are right in thinking that the coming of the Lord Jesus cannot be now far distant.'"—Christian News, Glasgow, Scotland, June 5th, 1848.
