О ниспослании дождя по молитвам батюшки

The Ioannovsky Convent received a letter from the peasant Ivan Nefedovich Muzhev, in which it was explained that in the Baikal volost of the Irbit district, Perm province, there had been no rain since spring; prayers were ordered in all villages, icons were raised twice a summer, prayers were performed in front of large crowds in church squares, but the Lord did not hear their prayers. And this peasant Ivan Nefedov Muzhev decided to send 3 rubles of money to the St. Petersburg Convent of St. John for oil in the lamp that was glowing at the grave of dear Father Fr. John. Upon receipt of the money, the monastery sent a receipt to the above person. And in a letter from the peasant Muzhev it is said that he received a receipt for No. 871 on July 25, 1911, and on July 26 there was heavy rain, which lasted three days, and then good weather came, and on August 7 it rained again. All the peasants thank Almighty God that the great prayers of the dear priest were heard by the Lord, and that the herbs and bread yielded a good harvest.
