Часть текста: and chiefly, because in the Gospels this error is plainly pointed out and it is there definitely said (Math. VI), that one should not pray in public places, but in solitude, which is corroborated both by the reason and the experience of every man, who has ever sincerely prayed to God, as the assembly of people only distracts, makes one’s thoughts wander and diverts them. I think that Sunday rest and dedication of this day to spiritual exercise may take place in the most various forms. One may suggest, that men of the same spirit, meeting together on Sunday, should bring to their meeting such religious books or articles which they find in ancient and modern literature and read and discuss them together; one may suggest, that meeting together on Sunday men of the same spirit should arrange dinners for the poor and themselves serve those dinners; one may suggest, that meeting together men of the same spirit should confess their sins to each other and discuss them. In short one can think of a hundred different forms of worship, which should all have for their aim a mutual spiritual help and should not be mechanical, but sensible. 2) Do I believe in the resurrection and that there is a hereafter? I believe in true, i. e. indestructible life which Christ has disclosed to us and for the which death does not exist. But...

Часть текста: occupies the most prominent part. Though while there is a censorship in Russia, the publishing of these books is out of the question, yet I shall get some of my friends to translate them, and will then spread them. The ennemies of the Kingdom of God have but one means left them it is to hush up the truth and make believe, they neither hear nor comprehend it — the fact of which was so strikingly acknowleged by the French, when they prohibited to publish the processes of the anarchists. It follows then, that the chief struggle, which lies before a labourer of the Kingdom of God, is to frustrate this plot of nonbelieving and non-hearing of what is seen and heard of all. I, therefore, wish you, as a strong and active labourer, the greatest possible amount of spiritual energy and entire success in it. Yours truly Leo Tolstoy. Милостивый государь, Я получил обе ваши книги и сердечно благодарю вас за них. Самая большая радость моей жизни — знать таких людей, как вы, и видеть, что идеи, для которых я живу, служат важнейшим источником жизни для других людей и что они выражены таким прекрасным и сильным языком, обратившим мое внимание в ваших обеих книгах. Обе ваши книги замечательно хороши, и я не могу ни одной из них отдать предпочтения. В книге «Старый и новый порядок» христианская истина приводится в подкрепление истины социалистических целей, тогда как в книге «Евангелие бедняка» социалистическая, коммунистическая и анархическая теории приводятся в подкрепление христианской истины, которая составляет ее главную часть. Пока в России существует цензура, об издании этих книг не может быть и речи, но я всё же попрошу кого-нибудь из моих друзей перевести их и примусь за их распространение. У врагов...

Часть текста: of property or, speaking more accurately, the emancipation of men from enlavery through the right of property of some over the land is in our time as urgently necessary, as was fifty years ago the emancipation of men in America and Russia from direct slavery. Unfortunately, as direct slave-owners endeavoured with all their power to retain direct slavery, which was advantageous for them, so also at the present time the wealthy classes use all their power for the retention of indirect slavery based upon landed property. In Russia, where people have never recognised landed property, this infamous action is particularly loathsome on the part of a stupid and coarse government which is endeavouring not only to retain the slaves in their servitude, but also by depraving the people to intensify their slavery in the future. I regard as stupid the action of our present government, because if it had put into practice Henry Georgeis principle that land cannot become exclusive property, — a principle always recognised and still recognised by the great mass of the Russian peasantry, — this measure alone, more effectually than all the acts of violence and cruelty now being accomplished by the government, would have pacified the people, and...
