Sectarian Missions Closed in Russia

A CLIPPING from the Russian press states that the military governor of the city of Odessa (and we suppose the same order must extend to other places) was empowered to close certain sectarian missions during the continuance of the war, "as harmful to order and social quietness." The sects mentioned were the Jewish Evangelists, German Society of the Baptists, First Society of the Russian Christian Baptists, Second Society of the Russian Christian Baptists, and Seventh-day Adventists, or Sabbath keepers. The ministers of these closed missions were summarily being banished to Siberia.
