_The Religion of the Russians_ (Vol. viii., p. 582.).--Your correspondent

J. S. A. has mentioned under the above head the worship of "gods," as he

calls their pictures or images, by the Russians. I am sure he will find no

such name or meaning given to them by the Russians in their writings; for

an account of what they really believe and teach I would refer him to

Mouravieff's _History of the Russian Church_; _The Catechism of the Russian

Church Translated_; _Harmony of their Doctrine with that of the English

Church_; all translated by Mr. Blackmore, late Chaplain to the Russian

Company.
