God and the endeavors of Archbishop Szeptycky and the late Bishop Ortyn-Hki. Archbishops Szeptycky traveled throughout Russia and brought back into the Church a very great number of persons belonging to the highest Russian aristocracy.Among the converts in Petrograd was the sister of the former Russian \Var Minister. Sazonoff, who is a neat-relative of Bishop Piodoroff. Miss Sazonoff built, at her own expense on St. Basils Island, in Petrograd, a Catholic church for the Slavonian rite, of which the Rev. Alexander Ivano-vitch Dayjbner was appointed pastor. In 1913 this zealous priest was arrested and exiled by the Russian Government, but he has returned to his flock.Bishop FiodorofT was born in 1X80 and was twenty-six years old when Archbishop Szeptycky met him. As the young man was himself a member of an old aristocratic family, lie was interested in the new conversions and soon fell under the influence of Archbishop Szeptycky. Kiodororf joined tho Church in 1906. Ho finished his theological studios in 1909. in Rome, in the Gregorian and there we became friends. Having been ordained, lie entered, in 1910. the old Greek order of the • Sluditcs. which was founded in the fifth century in Constantinople. This order resembles the Trappists in the severity of its observance.At present Bishop FiodorofT is thirty-eight years old and is a man of great taleuts and holiness of life. He possesses profound historical knowledge, and notwithstanding his comparative youth, a wide experience. In his external appearance he is a striking contrast to the Bishop who ordained him. Archbishop Szeptycky is a giant, over seven feet tall; tho new Bishop of Ukraine resembles a young Sicilian altar hoy. with delicate figure, dark hair and angcl-Uke features.
