In North Dakota there are todav about 10, 000 Stundists. When these Rus- sian Baptists first reached North Dakota they were very poor and had to borrow enough for a start from the loan companies at heavy rates of interest. The first year proved disastrous, as the crops were a failure. The Russians were penniless and without food. A friendly American placed an advertisement in the Minneapolis papers asking for help for these starving Russians and in a short time several wagon loads of flour, coa...l, shoes and all kinds of canned goods were sent to the Russians, who have never for- gotten. They liave become American citizens, and believe in America largely because of this friendly act. Through the influence of Count Tolstoy and oth- ers, many of the Dukhobors were helped to emigrate to Canada. After they had made a success there, they were visited by some of the Russian Molokans. The latter did not find Canada inviting, but after travelling along the Pacific Coast were favorably impressed with Los Angeles.
