What the characteristics of Russian civilization really are, and what promise it gives for the future, is a question which will be considered hereafter. This immense mass is not only bound together by family ties, not only speaks one language, but the uniformity of a single national household prevails in the manners and RUSSIA CONTROLLED BY ONE RACE; 225 customs, including even dress, among nearly forty millions of the people, manifesting one great Russian nationality. To these interlacing bond...s must be add^d another, stronger than them all, that of a common religion, which has a deep hold upon the national mind, because with the Russian people the age of fiiith has not yet passed away. The skepticism of western Europe has, as yet, exerted little in- fluence upon Russia. The doctrines of the church are to the mass of the people solemn verities, and in the religious ceremonies there is to them, as yet, a solemn meaning. Bigotry and superstition doubtless, to a great extent pre- vail ; but as an element of power, as well as a basis of national life, a deep, sincere, though misguided religious sentiment, is far superior to the infidelity of France or Ger- many : a skepticism indeed, which almost universally now underlies the forms of the Roman Catholic Church.
