Часть текста: 188. Джозефу Эдвардсу (Joseph Edwards). 1895 г. Октября 5. Я. П. Dear Sir, I have received your letter and the Labour Annual. Thank you for sending it. I have looked it over and have found in it many things, that are new to me. I think, that such a book is very useful, because it makes known to each other people working the same work and not knowing their comrades. I think, that the title of your publication is too narrow. The contents are broader. It contains not only records of the labour movement, but of the whole social reformation movement, which is going on now with so great intensity in the whole world. The solution of the labour question will not solve the social question, but the social question includes the labour question. And the social question can be solved only by the annulment of every kind of restraint used by one man or reunion of men over any other man or men. And this can only be done by change of public opinion. The social question will be solved only when it will be regarded by the great majority of men as base, shameful, abject and revilling a man to a beast to use violence against every other man, as to be a thief or murderer. And this opinion is more and more going to be general, and to establish this public opinion is what I have worked for with all my strength and will work for to my last day. I will beg my daughter to put my photo in this letter if she has one. Wishing you succes in your and our common work, I remain yours truly Leo Tolstoy. 17 Oct. 1895. Милостивый государь, Я получил ваше письмо и «Рабочий ежегодник». Благодарю за его присылку. Я просмотрел его и нашел в нем много вещей, для меня новых. Думаю, что такая книга очень полезна, ибо знакомит...

Часть текста: will adress you on behalf of some literary matters, i. e. about publications of some translations of my writings, is a very dear friend of mine, and you will oblige me in helping him in his work. From a letter, that I received from a contributor to the «Labour Prophet», I guess, that you have communicated my opinion about his paper to the editor. I thank you for it, because I appreciate very much his work and I wish him to know it. Henry George has sent me all his books. I know some of them, but some others, as the «Perplexed Philosopher» and others, were new to me. The more I know of him, the more I esteem him and am astonished at the indifference of the civilized world to his work. If the new Tsar were to ask me, what I would advise him to do, I would say to him: use your autocratic power to abolish the land property in Russia and to introduce the single tax system; and then give up your power and the people a liberal constitution. I write this to you, because I know, that you are one of the coworkers of H. George, and that you hold his ideas. I wish you success in your work. Yours truly Leo Tolstoy. Дорогой г. Кросби, Пишу вам это письмо только для того, чтобы сказать вам,...

Часть текста: by your book I will reject all wordly considerations and be quite open with you, not fearing to hurt you by what I have to say. The metaphysical religious idea of the doctrine of Krishna, so well exposed in your book, is the eternal and universal foundation of all true philosophies and all religions. The truth that the principle of all that exists we cannot otherwise feel and understand than as Love and that the soul of man is an emanation of this principle, the development of which is what we call human life — is a truth that is more or less consciously felt by every man and therefore accessible to the most scientifically developed minds as well as to the most simple. This truth is the foundation of the religion of Krishna and of all religions. But in the religion of Krishna, as well as in all ancient religions, there are statements which not only cannot be proved, but which are clearly products of uncontrolled imagination and which, moreover, are quite unnecessary for the conception of the essential truth and the affirmation of rules of conduct which flow out of the fundamental principle. Such are all the cosmological and historical affirmations of creations, durability of the world, all the stories of miracles, the theory of the four ages and the immoral and contradictory to the fundamental principle organization of casts. Dear friend and brother, the task which is before you is to state the truth common to all men, which can and must unify the whole humanity in one and the same faith, and one and the same rule of conduct based on it. Humanity must unite in one and the same faith, because...

Часть текста: for many years. I may state that he has gone through most of the experiences that you have so graphically described in your work «My Confession». No writings have so deeply touched Mr. Kallenbach as yours, and, as a spur to further effort in living up to the ideals held before the world by you, he has taken the liberty, after consultation with me, of naming his farm after you. Of his generous action in giving the use of the farm for passive resisters, the numbers of «Indian Opinion» I am sending herewith will give you full information. I should not have burdened you with these details but for the fact of your tocing a personal interest in the passive resistance struggle that is going on in the Transvaal. I remain your faithful servant M. K.

Часть текста: of life, so that the christian relations exist only between members of the colony but outside that must remain unchristian, otherwise the colony would not exist for a moment. And therefore to live in community cannot save a christian from the contradiction between his conscience and his life. I do not mean to say that I do not approve of communities such as your commonwealth, or that I do not think them to be a good thing. On the contrary, I approve of them with all my heart and am very interested in your commonwealth and wish it the greatest success. I think that every man who can free himself from the conditions of wordly life without breaking the ties of love — love the main principle in the name of which he seeks new forms of life — I think such a man not only must, but naturally join people who have the same beliefs and who try to live up to them. If I were free I would immediately even at my age join such a colony. I only wished to say that the mere forming of communities is not a solution for the christian problem, but is only one of the means of its solution. The revolution that is going on for the attainment of the christian ideal is so enormous, our life is so different from what it ought to be, that for the perfect success of this revolution, for the concordance of conscience and life, is needed the work of all men — men living in communities as well as men of the world living in the most different conditions. This ideal is not so quickly and so simply attained, as we think and wish it. This ideal will be attained only when every man in the whole world will say: Why should I sell my services and buy yours? If mine are greater than yours I owe them to you, because if there is in the whole world one man who does not think and act by this principle, and who, ...

Часть текста: at your article on land. Though it is very good as it is, it can only gain by it. 1 I appreciate also very much your idea of the connection of the three principles: of poverty, continence (as a degree of chastity) and of obedience to natural law. And I think and hope that you will express those ideas as strongly as all the articles of Worland and as simply and shortly as you say you wish to do it. The sole advice that I should wish to give you is to avoid polemic as much as possible. I have received also a letter from your husband 2 . I hope he will excuse me if I do not write to him separately and am asking you to be so kind say to him: 1) That although I like very much the Crank, I quite agree with him that it would de very good not only to combine gardening and agricultural work with writing, but to put the foundation of your life in manual work and keep publishing work as an accessory. Then he will not be afraid to be too successful. 2) That I hope I will send for the Crank something which should be worthy of it and 3) that I will be very glad to know his questions and answer them if I feel myself able...

Часть текста: it is christian love. You can find his «moyen» not sufficient, but he has a system and is consequent in proposing his «moyen», because he believes in it. But I never heard from any socialist, communist or anarchist an explanation, how the communistic or socialistic system will work, why will the egoistic men cease to be egoistic, and what will prompt them to sustain a system, which, will not be advantageous for them personally, and never could comprehend, what advantage will have anarchy over the existing state of things, or how could anarchy be founded and last, if the hearts of men are not changed, if men have not accepted the Christian point of view. The «Gospel in brief» 3 I have looked through, and it seems to me to be a very good translation. I thank you heartely for the preface and for your book «The... 4 I have began to read Carpenter’s book 5 and find it very good. Please give him my thanks for sending it.

Часть текста: Is it not stifled by socialistic doctrines? I like very much the difference, that you establish between Socialism ans Christianity. We cannot too much insist upon it. Christianity for to be powerful must be pure from all mélange of Dogmatism, Sentimentalism, Evangelism, as well as of Socialism, Anarchy, or Philanthropism. Excuse my bad English, and believe me, Yours with hearty sympathy, Leo Tolstoy. Милостивый государь, я только что кончил читать те две книги, которые вы мне прислали, и хочу поблагодарить вас и за присылку и за содержание книг. 1 Не знаю, как выразить вам ту радость, которую я испытываю, видя, что такой способный и искренний человек, как вы, занимается тем же делом, на которое и я положил свою жизнь, и положил не потому, что избрал это призвание, а потому, что это единственное дело в этой нашей жизни, которое стоит делать.

Часть текста: «Brotherhood Chucrh» (I do not like those names; they promise too much: it would be well, if in the transformation they would drop this name). 1 I think, that a great part of the evil of the world is due to our wishing to see the realization of what we are striving at, but are not ready for, and therefore being satisfied with the semblance of that, which should be. Compulsory governement organization is indeed nought else, than the semblance of good order, which is maintained by prisons, gallows, police, army and workhouses. Of real order there is none; only, that which infringes, it is hidden from our view in prisons, penal settlements and slums. And I think, that the dicease remains so long uncured, because it is concealed. So likewise with brotherhood or church communities. They also are semblances. There cannot be a community of saints among sinners. I think, that the members of a community in order to keep the semblance of sainthood must necessarily commit many new sins. We are so created, that we cannot become perfect either one by one, or in groups, but (from the very nature of the case) only all together. The warmth of any drop (or particle) is transmitted to all the others. And were it possible to conserve the heat of one particle, so that it should not pass to the others and therefore did not cool — it would only prove, that we took for heat, was not true heat. And I therefore think, that were our friends to direct towards their inner spiritual growth all the portion of attention and energy, which they devote to the sustainement of the outer form of a community amongst themselves — it would be better both for them and for God’s cause....

Часть текста: 2. Я. П. Dear Mr. Crosby. I received both your letters as well as the volume of Mr. Trevors newspaper 1 and thank you very much for sending it to me. I found in the volume many interesting articles, one of those is about Thoreau 2 by Trevor and another a beautiful sermon on the text of James’ epistle. 3 I wish success to Mr. Trevor in his work and think, that he has no reason to be despondent, because he has so many coworkers over the world, and the noble work, at which he is working, is the unique real human work of our time. I am very glad to know that you have taken the side of the working men and expect to hear about you as a champion of the good cause. Yours truly Leo Tolstoy. 2/14 September 1894. Дорогой г. Кросби. Я получил оба ваши письма, а также комплект газеты г-на Тревора, 1 и очень благодарю вас за их присылку. Я нашел в этом журнале много интересных статей, одна из них Тревора о Торо, 2 а другая — прекрасная проповедь на текст послания Иакова. 3 Желаю г-ну Тревору успеха в его работе и думаю, что у него нет основания отчаиваться, имея столько соработников по всему миру, а то благородное дело, которому он служит, — единственное истинное человеческое дело нашего времени. Очень рад узнать, что вы приняли сторону трудящихся, и надеюсь услышать о вас как о поборнике правого дела. Преданный вам Лев Толстой. 2/14 сентября 1894.
