DESCRIBE WORK WITH DOUniiiS

Joseph Elflngton of Philadelphia Yearly meeting, who Is known over the United States and Canada for bis work ; with the Doukobburs, a, sect of persecuted Russians,, who came to Canada as exiles twenty years ago, was the principal speaker at Earlham s college chapel this morning. In an Interview Mr. Elfington said that the similarity of views -between the Doukobours and the Friends led to his going among them for service. "The first we knew In America of the suffering and slave life, of these people was through an article written by Tolstoi in the London Times," he said, "and because there seemed to be similarity between their Ideas and those of the American Friends a request was sent to me and to my father, Joseph Elfington, to go to the help of those people who had come to Canada as pilgrims." ' There are about 10,000 Doukobours in Canada, California and New Mexico, and other parts of the country, Mr. Elfington said. They devote their time to agriculture and have little Industrial development, They are under the leadership of Peter Verigin, who according to the Friends is a man of forceful domineering nature, who has been a barrier to the mental and moral development of his people, and moves them like so much cattle. Mr. Elfington recently returned from an extended visit through ' the United States, where he visited the Doukobour settlements.
