482. About admission to the Academy. About the books sent God's mercy be with you! It's great to hear that you're hoping to get into the Academy. God bless you! I am sending you books of interpretations and several others. I cannot send an interpretation of Romans. Work hard! God help you! I'm sending you some money. I believe that they will come in handy for something during this difficult time for you. 483. Blessing and good wishes. About money sent God's mercy be with you, May the Lord bless your intention, guide your path, and help you pass the exam well. O. Alexei, I’m giving you some money... If they don’t accept you for the government, but they find you fit to attend the Academic course... let me know... Maybe I’ll find an opportunity to make a contribution, if it’s not too large. 484. About admission to the Academy. About entering a repeat course at the seminary About admission to the Theological Academy. About admission to a repeat course at the seminary. Well, it’s not a big deal that I didn’t have to go to the Academy. After all, you are not the only one; and in the world even death is red. Preparing for your next appointment is a good idea. But how to arrange this?.. At home, time would rather pass by on trifles. Isn't it better to enroll in the Seminary for a repeat course? Maybe in the end it will turn out that he will be sent to the Academy as a prisoner. I will deliver the maintenance fee for the common building. If there is no custom of admitting a repeater to a repeat course, is it possible to become a volunteer student? And if, as a result of this, you need to live in an apartment, I’ll give you what you need for that. I suggest all this because it will be more convenient for you to prepare in this order. 485. When you have the desire to learn, you can learn everything. About reading the New Testament When you want to learn, you can learn everything without the Academy. About reading the New Testament. Be wise and don't let time go to waste. Well, let it be like oh. The rector awarded... One way or another, the point is to prepare a little. - May God grant you time in this. I’m sending you 25 rubles for books. – When you want to learn, you can learn everything without an academy. There would be a head and work. – This method of study takes longer, but I will not argue if anyone calls it more durable. Well, see for yourself how to satisfy your thirst for knowledge. You must have books... But we have a book of books... Have you read the New Testament?!! If you begin to read it with the greatest attention and depth, the light of God will open before intelligent eyes and illuminate and sift everything... This source of knowledge is inexhaustible. Have you read all the others? - and no longer needed. And you can come up with something even better. Be wise... and don't let time go to waste. Days after days pass... and then years after years... And death... An account will be required - what was acquired with the abilities that God gave... having said, I will buy it... God bless your mother, brothers and sisters... I don’t know about your family’s life... Notify us as soon as possible when you receive the money. 486. Blessing for the road You are going to Moscow again to seek happiness. I'm sending you some money. I am also sending books to Her Excellency in your name. I ask you to give it to her, and I ask her to accept them. May the Lord grant her to find something beneficial for her soul in them. The protection of God be upon you! 487. About academic courses. About financial needs About academic courses. About financial needs. Follow the rule of assimilating the instruction taught. I'm very glad! Now, God bless me, I can conduct academic courses in good health. State-owned! - Great mercy of God! – But still, I believe there will be some needs. Please speak about this frankly. For your needs, I will always send you what you need. I don’t know anything about your financial needs. – Tell me frankly how much they need... and I will send it to them. - Keep your speech simple. The General's wife wrote to me... and I answered her. I also wrote to your mother and sent her some money (20 rubles) and asked her to write about her needs. It was the other day. Your lessons have probably already begun. – Follow a simple rule: absorb what is passed on by your mentors. Then, if anything seems unclear, look for additional information in books. – In general, think and think about it in order to leave the Academy with a large reserve, a ready-made mentor. - Don't waste time. Listen to mentors... But always keep in mind the norm of Orthodox truth. - And trust everything with her. “However, the deed itself will teach the good worker everything.” 488. About learning the German language. About the Orthodox vision. About financial needs I am very glad to hear that you have taken up the matter with zeal. German is a good tool. But he’s a bit too wise-cracking. You cannot read German books without crossing yourself many times. To develop your authorship... Not a bad thing! But God bless everyone to author with their minds. “The late Innocent used to say: every student I have is smarter than the smartest of the German scribblers.” There is its own idea of ​​Dogmatics - its own idea of ​​moral theology, its own idea of ​​Liturgics, Apologetics, Pastoral leadership, etc.... And all of it in Orthodoxy 131 looks differently than that of the Germans. Grant, Lord, your eyes to see this and everything else. Your confirmation that the fashionable spirit of denial has no place in the Academy is encouraging. God grant that he never sneaks in there. You said nothing about your petty needs. I can’t guess myself, because now everything, or much, is going differently... I am sending you 15 rubles and I will send the same amount every third, for petty expenses. Your mother does not inform you whether she received the money... and whether it can be sent to that address. It’s not entirely convenient to send through Kozaki. 489. Merry Christmas greetings. About money sent Merry Christmas greetings. About the money being sent. About the remembrance of the deceased. I congratulate you on the occasion of the Nativity of Christ. I wish you joy and consolation from the Lord. I am sending you 500 rubles in addition. – I pray to the Lord that He will help you arrange your wedding. - If, perhaps, there is still a shortage of money, ask the groom to wait some more out of 1000... I will add it in half of next year. The money that I give you must [be] paid for in commemoration of the servant of God Yulia, the noblewoman, who died... And I ask Lyubov Dmitrievna and her husband not to forget to remember her in their home and church prayers. You wrote that you are making a contribution for your second daughter; and Maria Nikolaevna remembered that this contribution was made by Madam Professor of your rural institute. – Madam professor will now not be able to do this; how will you do? – If, as expected, there are no other sources, I will contribute. Tell us when and in what quantity you are making this contribution. May the Lord bless you and your children and your future young people with every blessing. 490. Well wishes and congratulations on the holiday. About money sent Well wishes and congratulations on the holiday. About the money being sent. Questions about friends. Happy belated holiday and new year, I congratulate you. I wish you renewal of your good intentions [and] strength to fulfill them. I’m sending you 15 rubles for small change). You promised to push yourself this year. Good deed. A wedding is being held in Malinovo. Do you know the groom?.. Is he good? May the Lord give them the best... Tikhon Al. – Krutikov – assigned to the Voronezh Seminary for Church History. 491. About the situation in the Academy. About Lebedev's book about cathedrals About the situation at the Academy: strictness is unpleasant only for self-willed people. About Lebedev’s book about cathedrals: he was looking for something new, something he was against. Orthodoxy. You did a very good job of going home, and their work was corrected and directed. May God grant them good luck in bringing it to the end. You are notifying that the new Fr. The inspector introduces severity after severity... and you seem to find that this is not a very pleasant thing. Strictness is unpleasant only to self-willed people who do not like order. But those who live modestly, do not bother about anything else but to study and study, for those any strictness will pass by them without touching them... Having counted you among the latter, I ask you to move away from all the freemen who start courts and gossip in the hoard... Sit quietly and patiently at work, as if nothing concerns you... and do not engage in conversations... Be careful... You inform that you bought Lebedev’s book about cathedrals... as if you had obtained some rare thing... This book is not Orthodox... And it carries out the principles worse than Protestant ones... It seems to you that not a page, but brilliant thoughts... The thoughts there are all soap bubbles. – The starting point is wrong, and everything is rubbish – even so... The Author comes from the idea that there were schools in the Church, and one argued with the other... the Antiochian school argued with the Alexandrian school... There were no...[schools?] in the Church of God. There was one teaching, betrayed by the Apostles, which passed from generation to generation. Children learned from their fathers and then passed them on to their children... This teaching was everywhere and was the universal truth. Superstitious people were born among them and started their own teaching, according to their own intelligence... When this wisdom was not in accordance with the general Christian understanding... it was rejected, and the superstitious was condemned, and expelled from the Church... It was not school that argued with school... and the common truth reflected and amazed superstition... This common teaching, or understanding, is obligatory for everyone... and in it alone is the truth... Your Lebedev was looking for another direction... He was looking for another direction... something new (he said this publicly in his speech)... In this he stands against Orthodoxy - which does not look for something new... but tries to stick to the venerable antiquity. You, of course, have already read this book. I would like to know your opinion about it. – One Moscow priest (it seems) wrote a detailed analysis of this book... You need to find it and read it... and it’s no wonder that you will become a student of this newcomer. – They published an analysis in “Orthodox Review”... Be careful. – I wish you success – broad, but in the Orthodox spirit. Otherwise, it would be better for you not to join the Academy... to your own detriment and to spite the Church. 492. About the situation in the Academy. About Lebedev's book about cathedrals It's very nice to hear that you are succeeding. Help you, Lord, and even more to prosper. The German language will come in handy... but German wisdom is often no good. Learn to distinguish the chaff from the grain, and the straight from the crooked. We have too much German - and the language has become not Russian - or the way of speaking. It doesn’t hurt to take away what’s good from the Germans, but you have to write in your own way... It’s very sad when you don’t see this... I didn’t have anything to say about the previous letter; That's why I didn't write. You need to explain yourself to Fr. Alexander, and the matter will be settled amicably... Why did the Malinovskys create discord and maintain discord?! The Malinovskys began to spend the money sent for Lyuba’s dowry. They wrote about it themselves. I wrote to them that they had done it in vain, and told them to take care of that money. Because I can’t add anything more to this subject. Write to them about the same. No matter how they think that, they say, the words are not straight... No; they are decisive. I promised to help them pay for their other daughter and asked how much they needed. They mumbled so much that I couldn’t understand anything. Tell me what the power is there - how much is required, and in what time frame. And more and more often they don’t have grooms. The new Eminence... maybe new amendments will come. 493. About relatives. You will do well if you listen to Fr. inspector About relatives. Blessings and good wishes. You will do well if you listen to Fr. inspector. You did well to visit your people and notify me that they had received the message. Will God give them something on occasion... if the comrade you sent will visit or stay with them? God bless them! More about you... I think that you will do well if you listen to Fr. inspector... I don't think this would interfere with classes. I’m sending you 15 rubles for small change. 494. About failed matchmaking. Advice to turn to the Lord in your circumstances About a failed matchmaking. Well wishes and advice to turn to the Lord in your circumstances. It’s a great pity that the matchmaking for Lyuba did not take place. - And the groom can’t be blamed. If he agreed to wait, I would send it to him next year, if his demand is not too provocative. I don't have any money lying around... but I can steal something. - This kind of deal, that is, to wait, can be kept in mind even after this matchmaking. - But if you had time to get in touch with your ex before his marriage, it would be better. Railroad seats are not durable. I won't add anything to this. But before they talked about a deacon’s place, and it seems in Malinovo. - Why did you retreat? - It would be more convenient. - That the son-in-law is a priest. - It's not an inconvenience. O. deacon would take care of himself... for the priestly place depends on his approval. Congratulations on the anniversary celebration and on your occasion for its distinction... Help you, Lord, to deal with the sorceress of Endor. P.S. This is what came to my mind. On your way to your people, go up to the Right Reverend and tell him your circumstances, ask him to take your people into account. Bear 132 was built by General Maria Nikolaevna. I don't bother to bother. – I don’t have a soul for the railway. But between them there are sometimes sedate and reliable ones. So find out if the one you are talking about is more reliable... and God will bless you. 495. About the arrangement of a sister and financial needs Okay, you came up with the idea to take a ride home. May the Lord help you in the matter of your sister’s arrangement. The Reverend, I think, will not refuse to help you. O Lord, bless you and your household. I am sending 15 rubles for the journey. If the need will supplement the dowry, ask them to wait up to six months. But if he asks for everything... even before that it will be done. 496. About the arrangement of the sister. About learning French About my sister's arrangement. About learning French. Staying at the Academy is not a bad idea. The Eminence cannot promise that he will give a place. But maybe he can convince another groom to look at such and such... I believe that he might do it or try to do it. Don't give up studying French. It will come in handy, but at the same time it’s not a lot of work - for someone who knows Latin. Learn to read. Then get... or take the Gospel in French from the library and read... This is where language is needed... Knowledge of a language opens up to you a whole literature of the people who speak it. Staying at the Academy is not a bad idea. You need to lean in. It's more spacious here - a scientific atmosphere... If the professor approved your essay about a sorceress... and advised you to publish it. Why not try this? Previously, printing was rare and was considered a high matter. Nowadays it is no longer high. Are you afraid of me?! Why is this? It’s true, there are deceitful thoughts. But then we must be afraid of the entire Orthodox world. 497. Blessing of the newlyweds. About financial needs. About the regency Blessing to the newlyweds. About financial needs. Is it important to finish the course first? About the regency. God bless the newlyweds. I wish them peace, love and prosperity. I have no money now. I’ll send you 200 rubles with annual interest at the end of the year; and maybe even half a year. Let them wait. There will be no loss for them from this. This money still lies there, whether it’s on me or in the bank. You don't have to worry about payment. Somehow I'll handle this myself. What's the future about. the deacon is not one of the first to graduate, it doesn’t matter. Life will require another kind of learning or ability, which is often lacking in those who have successfully graduated. If only the character was good. More humility and for this reason more God's blessing. Why do you expect the regency to interfere with teaching... What is an hour of lessons with choristers, two or three times a week - is that a lot? Askochensky was a regent, but he graduated among the first and was left with a bachelor. Therefore, the whole point is to manage your time well. Your letter was received on the evening of the third day; But mine will go tomorrow, but I don’t know how it will reach Malinov. In any case, he won’t get there by February 2nd. - Like the future Fr. the deacon did not hesitate. I will really regret this. But then there is no way to change things. – Assure him that the shortfall in the bank amount will be fulfilled. 498. About money sent. About books. About the candidate's essay At the same time as this letter, I am sending to the city of Malinovo the amount of money required for the contribution for 4 months. May God send her good success. Don't be lazy to teach her. Under Tikhon Alexandrovich, my books were delivered to the student library of your Academy - all those published before that time. After that time, several more books were published... I have a desire to send these too. Take the trouble to figure out which volume your “Philokalia” ends in. It seems like the second or third; and there are all 5 of them. - From this last volume of yours, I will send you what came out after it. - The Athonite monks, who are in Moscow and in whose hands all my books will be sent... I am very glad to see how eager you are to complete the course. God bless and help... Your essay... didn’t quite seem to me. But if you are lucky enough to look at the requirements of the time of each person and how they wisely corresponded to him, then this will brighten up a lot, presenting not a simple list of persons and deeds, but also seeing a living picture of the Christian life of this period. P.S. What is the best way to address books? – To the student library or in your name for transfer to the student library... or something else... I am not sending you books myself. Afterwards it’s better to go to the place of duty. 499. About books. Blessings and good wishes My books are now all in the hands of the Athos brotherhood in Moscow. I wrote to the head of this department to send in your name for the student library the books published after the first sending, I will add the Epistle to the Romans and the Philokalia. And I believe that he can do it... When you receive it, please notify me, indicating which books you received. Your mother Anna Stepanovna wrote that you are not in good health. May the Lord strengthen you! But be careful yourself... Having learned, you need to bear fruit... But to go after the plow and sow, you need to have decent strength. 500. About the book of letters to pastors. On the composition of pastoral theology About the book of letters to pastors. On the composition of pastoral theology. Thank you for the book – letters to pastors. I read it with pleasure. She is worthy of all attention both in terms of subjects and direction. The way I express my thoughts is a little awkward. – Thoughts are not organized. If gentlemen students - 3-5 of the Bolshaks - took apart the book piece by piece... and each one explained in simple speech the contents of the part he received: then they would clearly see what this book is worth. One must wish that someone would compose a pastoral theology according to the norms of these letters. This would be a treasure trove for pastors, giving them proper guidance for their pastoral work. That the Most Reverend Rector has influence on you, you should rejoice at this, it will be for your good. Copy. The original was given on July 20, 1895 by Fr. To the Rector of the Academy, Archimandrite Anthony, about whose book there is a review [in] the letter. 501. Congratulations on successfully completing the course. About the candidate's essay Congratulations on successfully completing your academic course. About the candidate's essay. About the proposal to become a monk. About contributions for the maintenance of a sister. I rejoice at such a successful completion of your academic course. You are worried about your candidate's argument or essay - that you will not have time to finish it on time. But if there is a custom of serving unfinished food, why don’t you take advantage of it? – You are afraid that Professor Vash will not give a completely satisfactory review. But his review is not decisive. If o. The rector approves of submitting something unfinished, and other professors agree with him, then there is nothing to be too afraid of your professor. When the deadline comes, go to your professor and explain your circumstances and ask for his consent to submit an unfinished essay. – But stay until September, still stay, and try to finish. It already means a lot that you have been nominated as a candidate to remain at the Academy. And if they really leave you - what more... Here, lean a little and - God willing, they will leave you at a certain pulpit. - And the road will go smoothly. God bless you to remain at the Academy. – And God willing, God willing, you would be able to accept Fr.’s proposal. Rector to become a monk. If you only thought that this was the best for you... and then you should decide on it. But when your inner voice says this to yourself - in which the title of God is mainly expressed - then, it seems to me, there is no need for you to think about it... Having prayed to God - and with St. After having a prayerful conversation with Sergius, make up your mind. The contribution for the maintenance of your sister is not over yet. Ends in May. 502. On appointment as a sub-inspector. About monasticism. Well wishes and blessings I would really like to see you as a sub-inspector - and after reading your letter, I rushed to write about this. To your rector, but I changed my mind - because, perhaps, everything on this matter is already over with you, and my writing would not be at the right time. However, if the matter is not over yet, then go to Fr. To the rector and assure him that I will accept it as a great favor to myself if he gets you a job as a subinspector. – As for monasticism, you rightly look at this matter, saying: when it suits you. In addition, it is better for a non-monk to be a sub-inspector, because there may be cases that are inconvenient for a monk to handle. I wish and pray that the Lord will place you in this place. If you don’t have to go here... write more specifically where you would like to go. The subjects are defined... but the area is also not a small matter... Moscow, Kazan, Kharkov, Odessa... Kiev, S.P.B (sic! - Ed.)... Somewhere else... Tobolsk, it seems... I will then ask Fr. Chairman of the Educational Committee at the Holy Synod... Meanwhile, are you thinking of ending the discussion? - God bless! I am sending you some money: 30 rubles. Be healthy and happy. 503. Refusal to be accepted into the cell I think I wrote to you about this. What you would like to say and know - write. 504. About the place of the singer. About correspondence in Athens I really don't like what you said... Study - study... and in the end - a singer... Are you tempted by the potential income of a huge 1500 rubles? – That’s right – it’s only 500 rubles) – Your salary... There is probably a correspondent for Moskovskie Vedomosti in Athens. Usually this matter is handled by the secretaries of the embassy, ​​familiar with the course of political affairs and with what is being said in society... for they are apparently in the choir... In two years, you too can find out something about this... It turns out that when you leave Athens, then you will be fit to become a correspondent... Therefore, you do not have my blessing to go along this road. If you please, go on your way... Here you are finished... or have finished... Now there is a place... and God will give it... Write where you stand on the list... I will write about you to the chairman of the educational committee at the Holy Synod... And if there is a place, he will not refuse. Write which subject is your favorite and which one you will choose... 505. About studying Greek and writing a master's essay If this is the case, as you have now written, then there is nothing to think about. This is better than the usual after-effects of an Academic education. Bless, Lord! May God help you to succeed in everything you expect regarding the study of Greek and the master's essay. – Isn’t there enough time to study the language? With work you can overcome a lot, but it also takes time. 506. Feedback on the candidate's essay. About the trip to Athens Feedback on the candidate's essay: you also have historical talent. About a trip to Athens and learning Greek. The review of your work for the candidate is excellent. If God helps you to finish what else to look for, then you can be recognized not only as a master, but also as a doctor. It seems that you have historical talent. We need to put it into circulation. Your successes make me very happy. God grant that your expectations from the trip to Athens 134 be fulfilled, and that you return from there a Hellenist, and with a completed argument in your hands for a master's degree. The latter is easier to do than the former; for the complete study of a language is of great depth. But if zeal comes, what will she [not] have time to do? - Help you, Lord! Bless you, Lord, with every blessing. 507. About a trip to Athens. About the position of a choirmaster About a trip to Athens. About the position of a singer. Blessings and good wishes. God's mercy be with you! 135 I thought that on your way to Athens you stopped at Vysha. Maybe it’s better [that] it doesn’t take place... There is something unusual and unclear - in this choice - sent to the singers who completed the Academy course. And who came up with this? Who o. Porfiry, [I don’t] know. I thought it was one of the Moscow... Isn’t it better, when the Athenian case is upset, to take you a place in the educational department?! “Then, however, once that matter is over, it will be clearer to you what to do.” I really regret the fate of your sister. I'm putting in some money for the trip. Most Gracious Father and Archpastor! I still don’t know anything positive about the trip to Athens. O. Mikhail Gribanovsky got a little confused and delayed the matter. The rector recently notified me at home (I left the Academy on October 15) and asked me to be patient. I decided to wait until Christmas. If by this time there is no news from Athens about departure, then I will completely abandon the trip. I’m thinking of settling in Posad and finishing my essay. I will also refuse an appointment until I finish my work. God willing, I’ll somehow survive in an apartment for a few months. It is not only impossible to study at home, but also to live: I was more upset in a month than in a year at the Academy. And all this is fruitless. I left Posad on behalf of my sister, who is being persecuted by her deacon husband. All the time I was hitting the thresholds of the powers that be... In Posad I am eager for work, as for a desired rest. Resorting to your intercession before God 508. About coming to Vysha. About a trip to Athens. Photos as a gift God's mercy be with you! 136 You mentioned coming here twice. In the first, he answered that it was impossible, but in the second, he probably forgot to write, albeit unintentionally. Why didn’t you mention your trip to Athens... Have you made it and are you going? You would like to see the printed cards - five. O. To the rector - thank you for the memory... O. Porfiria - I forgot who he is. - I’ll read the letter... Forgive my insolence. If I dared to ask you to disturb your peace for one minute, it was only because I did not know that you hardly receive anyone at all. You did not answer my request in a letter from the Academy for permission to see you. I interpreted this silence in my favor, of course, because I really wanted to interpret it that way. For the fact that I only wished and thought little, I am now receiving a worthy punishment. After your refusal, I begin to realize that my trip was indeed unwise. She's not motivated enough for me. I was traveling with only one purpose - to see you and bow to you, to tell you that you replaced my father and put me on my feet. I only felt the need for the trip for myself and did not realize until now that with the outpouring of my childish impulses I had no right to disturb your peace. Still, of course, I can’t help but feel bad that I haven’t even seen you from afar: they say that you don’t go out. However, this grief may also be a consequence of unsatisfied curiosity... Our entire family, Archimandrite Anthony Khrapovitsky, Rector of our Academy, and Hieromonk Porfiry, from whom I brought a letter to you, enclosed here, ask for your blessing. Once again I beg Your Eminence: forgive and bless me. Tomorrow after mass I will go back. Needing holy prayers unworthy Ivan Andreev). 509. About the Athenian affair. Expression of desire to continue to help financially There were no thoughts you suggested. I was just a little surprised and regretted that I didn’t ask you how the idea came to you. – Characters of this kind, as your refusal shows, get along better on earth and live calmer and freer from connections (knots – Ed.), of which there are many, many. - Ahead, if you have a need, let me know. I will be happy to help you. – The Athenian affair dragged on. It occurred to me to suggest to you - refuse. You will wait in vain - and you will waste more time. It is better to follow our usual well-trodden path. Everything is clear here; but in the new one everything is covered in fog. There are only some expectations that it’s not a sin to call dreamy... 510. About money sent. About a trip to Athens. About relatives About the money being sent: why didn’t they say that you needed warm clothes? About a trip to Athens. About relatives. Why didn’t you say that you need warm clothes? You can get such a cold that you never get better. I am sending you 30 rubles. Sew yourself something warm - and take care of your health... You don’t write anything about Athens... Why don’t you declare your renunciation?! It will be a waste of a trip if it happens. - It seems, oh. Archim[andrite] Mikhail outwitted himself a little here. Anna Stepanovna - your mother wrote - recently... and Lyubov wrote. – Is she afraid that her husband will interfere with her teaching? “Nobody told me what happened between her and her husband.” But if it were possible to confidently arrange a tolerable life with him, then it would be better for them to get together. – May God prosper her like His St. at will. 511. About appointment to place. About the subinspectorate The place has been assigned to you, however, unexpectedly; but I think we still need to accept it. The appointment has not now taken place, now only the execution of the previously determined task is underway. – Appoints an educational committee at the Holy Synod. The committee is always in a hurry to fill openings with the best students who have completed the course. This is the reason for your appointment. It’s true, and the Simferopol Seminary is in good standing. - It wouldn’t be a bad thing... But subinspectorate is better. If the academic authorities decide to nominate you for this position, I don’t see why the academic committee would not agree to this designation. Is it because it will be too soon after the determination he himself made... about your appointment to Simferopol... This may seem like a violation of the Holy Synod... and the committee... and the Chief Prosecutor, especially when you have not made any movement to fulfill their determination regarding you. What should you do?! ...The subinspector's position is not empty yet. You believe that this place may or may not be empty by mid-August. Then your failure to fulfill the determination made about you will cast a shadow on you, more or less of ¼ rub. (so! – Ed.). – That’s where the semicolon is for you. Talk to the Academic authorities... how they plan to proceed with your nomination to the subinspectorate... and I was foreshadowed about your appointment to Simferopol, which has not yet been fulfilled by you. Just looking, it would seem like nothing... But where will the province turn 137 - I could, however, write about. The chairman of the committee... and I believe that he will not contradict the Academic decision. How will they interpret it and what will they decide... 512. Congratulations on the beginning of the service. About the financial needs of relatives. About comrades Congratulations on the start of the service. About books recommended for work. About the financial needs of relatives. About comrades. Congratulations on the start of your service; May the Lord bless your work. Kudryavtsev's philosophy is good - the daughter of the late Archpriest Golubinsky. Don't take any of the German ones. “Maybe Schubert will suffer... and in many ways he needs to be baptized.” – Leibnizevskaya is closer to Golubinsky. She talks about Faith and Reason. Start your own philosophy... If only it were holy... Orthodox. Your mother wrote that the opportunity was opening up to place another daughter. It takes a thousand. Unfortunately, my circumstances have changed, and on occasion I can send a dozen more; but I can’t do it anymore. “A hundred is hard, but you can’t lift a thousand.” Your comrades are new now... Live and see more precisely what they are. Everyone is probably a master in his own business, as it should be, and don’t take up extraneous matters: that’s why there’s no talk about them. The fact that you don’t have time to cope with a candidate’s argument is something you can’t help but regret. However, don't let him out of your sight. A little freedom... and add a line... 513. Gratitude for attention to the priestly widow. About the inability to help Your Excellency dear I would like to thank you for your attention to the priestly widow A.S. Andreeva. You suggest that I petition the Lord of Oryol for her... and also give money for her daughter’s marriage. Due to circumstances, I cannot write to Vladyka. No money. Previously there was an opportunity to share, but now there is none... Then thousands were sent, but now only dozens can be sent... rubles... I'm sorry to say that I can't help. You are writing from Rossoshny, or sending a letter. Have you returned here again... If you are on a new home there... then I don’t know the address. In this case, I will address it to Anna Stepanovna, with forwarding. And if forwarding is not required, then it is not difficult to convey it to her. I wish you all the best. 514. About letters sent against Pashkov. About the teachings of the Pashkovites I am pleased to send you 5 copies of letters to S.P.B. If you need more, I can send you more. I have enough of them. When reading them, keep in mind what was in my mind when I wrote - not to denounce the Pashkovshchina, but to imagine as clearly as possible that we have no need to listen to outside teachers: we already have what is needed for salvation, and, moreover, in the way it was handed down to the Church by the Apostles; we have and fulfill according to our strength... And we see the saving fruits of this in those who faithfully fulfill all this. The Pashkovskys’ private points did not have to be touched. I asked and asked to send it. They didn’t send... And what they sent represents the general Protestant wisdom... as you will see; and not the peculiarities of the Pashkov region... And I don’t regret that they didn’t send it; because what is said is very sufficient for salvation. Besides, I’m not into arguing and I don’t have that kind of skill. I have also included a few other books. Maybe you will find the time and desire to run. You rightly noted that we do not want to be reprimanded because we love to enjoy the peace of faith - which is much better and more fruitful. They write to whom God gives zeal. - So you have it... Look at it as a gift from God to you... mnas... May God grant you to attach ten mnas to it - and then receive ten cities as reward. Figure 7. Letter 514. Sheet 1. Autograph Figure 8. Letter 514. Sheet 2. Autograph 515. About works against the teachings of Pashkov. About books I am pleased to send you 10 copies of letters. – You wish to find the symbol of the Pashkovites. Help you, Lord! But you hardly have time. Because they themselves do not know him. The points that are in my letters were delivered to Nikolai Vasilyevich Elagin by one of Pashkov’s visitors, who listened to their conversations - at home - and wrote them down. Vasily Nikolaevich Chicherin strove for a spiritual life. But he did not alienate himself from the Church in the least. He saw the spiritual side in the external ranks of the church and avoided error. The whole mistake of the Pashkovites is that, being zealous about the spiritual, they completely forget about its visible manifestations. That is why, as soon as something is visible, it is no longer spiritual in their opinion. You can catch them right away by slowly starting a conversation about whether a person can serve God only internally? – And again, is only individual service to God commanded to us, or is it common service to the whole society? – From here there is an easy transition to all ranks of the Church. “Invisible warfare” among the Athos people. The address is shown in the book. You can go to where the warehouse is... Yes, in S.P.B. there is an Athos Chapel. That's right, there are all the books there too. - Look for them. "Stone of Faith" in the Synodal Shops. “There’s nowhere else to find him.” But now it is no longer sufficient. Look for the Accusatory Theology of the rector of the Kazan Spiritual Academy, Archimandrite Innocent. Figure 9. Letter 515. Autograph Archpriest I. G. Pereverzev 516. About sent sermons. On translations from Theodore the Studite About the sermons sent. About the gold stamping on the vestments. About health. On translations from Theodore the Studite. General blessings. I am sending you sermons - the former ones - printed by the Athos people for distribution. Take it for yourself and give it to yours. When the archpriest was in our monastery, she looked at my vestments - silk, painted with gold. Evlampius 139 told me that she would like to know how this is done. I wrote and sent it to Factory 140 with the first mail. Has this been received? – Our Archimandrite 141 mocks this, saying that the matter is fragile. “It’s fragile when you don’t do everything as it should, but if you do everything as it should, it lasts a long time.” Here are my airbags - they last for ten years... and rarely change... but they’re like new... even the gold hasn’t worn off on the folds... How do you cope with your illnesses? “My eye is still doing good.” Sometimes it seems that his movement for the worse has stopped... and then suspicions arise again... I drink the water that Baron Vrevsky sends me. These waters are saturated with electromagnetic currents in different degrees... Is there any use from them?... Maybe... Maybe the slowness of clouding the eye is the fruit of these waters... And then the matter of darkening will move back. This Baron has his own hospital in St. Petersburg. My other health is good... But most of all... my missus enjoys her health... She has gained strength. There's nothing you can do... Even if the grass doesn't grow... I am translating, however, St. Theodore Studite's catechisms... not in a row - but by choice... in extracts... Be healthy and cheerful - with the archpriest - and everyone living with you. 517. Happy holidays. About writing works. About vision Happy holidays. General blessings and good wishes. About writing works. About vision, about reluctance to have eye surgery. Thank you for your congratulations and well wishes... I congratulate you too, but on the glorious Ascension instead of the Holy Resurrection. I’m very glad that everything is going well for you and the archpriest has quite a lot to do, because of which she never gets bored. Bless, Lord, your works in this part 142. There is a special reward for them, compared to other works. My work almost stopped completely. So laziness took over. But health will do. Only his eyes are all about his owner - he doesn’t want to know anyone - not even Vrevsky - he’s withering away... Sometimes he becomes clouded, but he’s still brave. Everyone is urging me to undergo surgery, but I resist, mostly because the pain must be terrible. The cataract is not cut off like a thorn, but the eye is cut and the affected member, that is, the lens, is pushed out. I have no hope of enduring the inevitable terrible torment. And I refuse. “But I hear that there are some drops that, if a few are put into the eye, it loses sensitivity, goes numb, without losing movement. - So I perked up - where did the courage come from? I’m ready for surgery right now... – Is our doctor Dobrov in Tambov? I ask him to quickly tell me if there are such drops? - Their name is cocaine. And what he says, write to me as soon as possible. I wish the archpriest success in her work. 518. About health. About the weather. About milk drinking. About the Philokalia About health: thanks to the doctor for his advice. About the weather. About milk drinking. About the Philokalia. I thank the doctor for the advice - and you for communicating it. There was no trace left of what happened then as a result of the exorbitant heat in the bath. - Everything is calm in my heart. - However, I was and am going to Tambov. And if alarms arise, I will immediately rush. Someone told the Eminence 143 that I was coming... and he wrote that the gates were wide open. - Now go - sunstroke may happen. I’m sitting in the hut in just my shirt... but at least don’t show your face on the balcony 144. From the doctor’s advice, I will fulfill the mammal, which was prevented from starting by fasting, which will begin on Monday, July 3. Walking in the forest or along the shore is replaced by walking on the balcony - after morning tea until lunch, and after the heat subsides until dark... I will add the missing number of days after the Dormition Fast. Then you can drink milk again for 42 days. After finishing the Philokalia (did I say?... two more volumes: one is being printed, the other is being rewritten) - I devote myself to doing nothing. I'm leafing through some nonsense. Who is your grandmother? Isn't that a proto-pope? Has she really registered herself as an old woman? It seems to me that she is still young - 18 years old. You are having fun... there are so many young people around!.. And sometimes a week goes by for me and Evlampius and I don’t exchange a word. However, the doctor unfairly calls my life sedentary and withdrawn - I’m always on the move to the point that my soles hurt... When I finished “The Philokalia”, I sat for two or three hours in the morning. And now I don’t sit for anything... And our air is still the same as in the forest. Sit there and don't look at West 145. 519. Blessing to retire. About treatment with homeopathy. About the books sent Blessings to retire. About treatment with homeopathy. About health. About the books being sent. Happy belated holiday! Happy New Year! How was it decided, the hedgehog is about you?! If you continue, God bless you to continue to work. And if for peace, may God grant you good rest 146. Are you thinking of stocking up on homeopathic remedies? Good deed! When you finally decide, tell me, I will show you the book and where to apply. In S.P.B. There is now a homeopathic hospital... And there - whatever you want, you ask for. My heart troubles have ceased. And this is done by homeopathy. – My weakness is an intermittent pulse. My doctors... determined the cause - weakening of the heart muscle... and prescribed medications that generally serve to strengthen the muscles. - And it was done. The main thing for me now is... twitching of my legs. Almost every night from midnight, this entertainment goes on for two or three hours. Just as the excitement that produces the twitching of the legs is accompanied by an annoying feeling; then I get up, and then I stand, then I walk, until the paroxysm ends (the attack - Ed.). At this point the twitching stops. This, that is, the end of the paroxysm, is felt as a relief, and during the attack the legs are heavy and seem to be pulled together - there ... above and below the ankles. In a letter to Alec. Phil. (To Dobrov. - Ed.) I am prescribing all this and asking for help. I am enclosing the letter with yours in one package, because there are no secrets here. The letter is a little dirty. I apologize. I purchased the book indicated by Dr. A.F. She seemed nice. Thanks for the guidance. I am sending you books - the 4th volume of the “Philokalia” and the 33rd Psalm... To you, the Doctor and the Treasurer 147... In each book of the “Philokalia”, under the first page of the 20th printed sheet, there is my cabinet portrait. God bless all of you... and your mother, as well as your grandmother, the archpriest. 520. About books sent. I will resolve the issues. About vision About the books being sent. I will solve the questions gradually and send them to “Soulful Reading”. About vision. Most Honorable Fr. Archpriest! I hasten to satisfy your desire. I am sending letters about Christian life and an interpretation of the letters to the Corinthians. Pastoral messages will also be sent in due course. Thank you for what you sent. I ask you to add the life of Jesus Christ our Lord to your conversations. I will solve your questions gradually and send them to “Soulful Reading”, where a number of similar solutions have already been started, in letters to different people. Now I have absolutely no time, and I have not had time to look through anything that was sent. I'll give them the full part a little later. One of my missing eyes does not prevent the other from looking. Therefore, the grief is still small. And then – what God will give. His holy will. I ask your saints. prayers! God bless you! 521. About sent books. Answers to questions: what would have happened if Eve alone had sinned? About the books sent: they are good, I will write about them someday in “Soulful Reading.” Answers to the questions: what would have happened if Eve alone had sinned; won't the demons repent, why does evil prevail? Guilty! I got lazy and didn’t answer you for so long, even though the need for an answer couldn’t get out of my head. I am grateful for the books. They are very good. To write about them - I will ever write about someone’s question in “Soulful Reading”. There are no printed interpretations other than those announced. Others were only prints, which were sold out. They will be revised and published little by little. I will send them to you as they come out. I'm looking forward to reading Galatians any day now. I scribbled answers to your questions in tongue-twisting words. I will send it along with the letter to the Galatians. Questions in P.S. 1) What would have happened if Eve alone had sinned, but Adam had not? “If this had happened, then we would have seen what would have happened as a result.” And now guessing about that is in vain. 2) Will the demons repent? - We'll see if they repent. Now we see that they do not repent, but everyone succeeds in evil. If we focus on this, then there is little hope for their repentance. 3) Reasons and goals for the prevalence of evil? “God’s plans are hidden, and we can’t figure them out.” We see that people rise to perfection through the fight against evil. That's right, there's no other way. Why? Ask the innermost God. Tell the teacher of the law in his ear that his other questions should be bowed to. I should be subject to the same. I'm so lazy that I don't want to raise my hands. You dig into something; but there is no desire to take up the matter. Meanwhile, death is already in the yard. 522. About letters against Pashkov. About the rite of the church About the letters against Pashkov: they say it’s written in a sophisticated way, but on the contrary, I tried to write it simpler. About the rite of the church. Most Reverend Fr. Archpriest! They sent me a lot of letters that were against Pashkov. I'm sending you some. Give it away if you are willing to read it. And if there are too many of them, I can send more. I hear that others say that it is written in a clever way. I wouldn't be surprised. I generally don’t like to write complicated things, but here I deliberately tried to write simpler. But it turned out to be a tricky thing. Isn't the content tricky? But the content is what everyone already contains. The letters only remind us of that. There would not be those who are tempted by the latest letters about the church order, namely, that it is changeable. But that's the essence of it. But it’s another matter if someone decided to change. Then I’m the first – I’m against it and I don’t consider everything changeable. Image of the sacrament? Due to its essential features, or parts, the sacrament also cannot be changed. This is what is indicated. Bless, Lord, your works. But I’m extremely lazy and I just can’t get myself to do anything. I wish you to be healthy and complacent. 523. About a trip to Tambov to see doctors. I can’t write about your conversations About a trip to Tambov to see doctors. Writing and reading are now on hold, so I can’t write about your conversations. I'm late in answering you. There was no home. I went to Tambov to show myself, not to just anyone, but to doctors. One of my eyes is no longer useful due to cataracts. It seemed to me that the second eye was beginning to change. I hurried to check what was there. In order to say this, you do not need either great experience or scholarship. It's enough to have eyes. The eyes of the Tambov doctors said that the second eye began to become cloudy. It became necessary for me to end my service. One might hope for consolation from the operation. But, they say, my cataracts are of such a nature that operations for them fail very often. All that remains is to say: alas and ah! and console yourself in Russian: maybe! To prolong the activity of the one remaining eye, the commandment was given to write and read as little as possible, especially in artificial light. No matter how difficult it is to fulfill such a commandment according to our habits, however, the blindness threatening ahead forces us to gather strength to fulfill it precisely. And I have already decided to develop a fear of letters, just as others have a fear of hydrophobia. I leave behind writing and reading, and perhaps the inevitable. I will prepare for publication the still unpublished interpretations with the most protracted work, and amen. And this is the main reason why I must refuse your commission to write about your conversations. To write properly, you need to re-read them more carefully, discuss their characteristic features, select examples for each and write them down. Since I have almost nothing to do this work with, I refuse. I would gladly satisfy your desire, but I find myself, unfortunately, forced to refuse. I apologize for doing this. Don't be angry or bored. I am sending you two dozen letters to S.P.B. for distribution where they may be suitable. A little later I’ll send you Simeon the Theologian, 2nd issue. God bless you. I ask for your prayers. I received the books and parts - thank you. In the bundle of letters are your sketches. Maybe they will come in handy. 524. Congratulations on the holidays. About the translation of Abba Isaiah the Hermit. About vision Now you have a special holiday... Congratulations. May the prayers of the Holy Hierarch help you in everything. Perm and Vladimir do not lag behind Moscow and St. Petersburg in pastoral works and endeavors... and are ahead of other dioceses. God bless you! I am sending you Simeon the New Theologian, 2nd edition... and something else. I am now sitting over the translation of St. Isaiah the Hermit. Its translation from Latin is placed in the 1st volume of the Russian “Philokalia”. But on Mount Athos they finally found the same one in Hellenic - and delivered it. It turns out that in the new translation it will be a different Abba Isaiah. There was still a lot to be done. But we have to wait. What will the operation say?..for which the date has not yet been determined. Bless your works, Lord! I wish you all the best from the Lord. I ask for your holy prayers. 525. Consolation to those in temptation. Blessings and good wishes Comfort to those who are in temptation: be inspired by patience; the enemy’s self-resistance testifies to the efficiency of the matter. Blessings and good wishes. Most Honorable Fr. Archpriest! I am completely sorry for what is happening to you. But at the same time I see a certain consoling feature for your case in what is so regrettable. Precisely: it means that your work is of great salvation, and the enemy of salvation, as soon as he seized the opportunity, immediately showed his displeasure and took a step towards resistance. This very resistance is evidence of the efficiency of the matter, and since it is God’s, and is blessed by God’s order, it cannot be stopped by the same person. Be inspired by patience and trust that the Lord is the patron of good deeds. Pray, invite all members to pray, so that the Lord will arrange everything for the best. I believe that what happened was some kind of accidental misunderstanding, which will soon dissipate. God will send you a beneficial Archpastor. It was heard that the Right Reverend Jacob of Murom was appointed, but that he refused due to his old age. He would be the most beneficial patron of your business. What happens in the Vladimir province is all his business. Well, beg yourself for another one like that. Yes, I believe that everyone will not refuse to take your business under their leadership and assistance. In my S.P.B. there is absolutely no one. One Nikolai Vasilievich Elagin. But he is no longer in S.P.B. It is best to pray and commit the matter to God’s protection and mercy. May the blessing of the Lord be upon your entire community! Your last decree - to remind Christians about the main thing during Lent - is very useful and [should be] carried out properly. Write to the victims, let them take heart, inspiring them with hope that the state of affairs cannot be left in such a sad state. Bless you, Lord, with every blessing. Save yourself! 526. Response to a request to evaluate books interpreting the commandments of the Lord I hasten to answer you so as not to torment you with vain expectations. Consulting is a good thing. And I don't mind saying that I can. But your proposal is of such a kind that I must admit my indecency to tell you anything sensible. Analysis of the commandments is an activity to which I never devote my work. Although this is a good thing, it is not suitable for everyone. God gave you, according to the place and type of your service, to do this work, and of course, no one can compare with you in this. To someone unaccustomed to this matter, many things may seem inappropriate, while those who are accustomed to it find it not only [not] inappropriate, but essentially necessary. And I will be in this position in relation to your work, there is nothing marvelous that some things may seem superfluous to me, others omitted, while this is necessary, but this is not necessary. And all that will come out is embarrassment. You don’t have to listen to me, because what I’m going to say is not a matter of fact - a thought that presented itself at first glance; but you will still read the remark... and of course, you will not have a good time meeting it. Due to this very possible consequence of my inexperienced revision, I find myself in the need to ask you not to send your books for review and comments, because there is no sense in this: just work and embarrassment. Bless, Lord, your works. But there is no need to be timid - because there are those who cross. Conviction gives evidence to conscience. Pray to God for me, a sinner. 527. About books sent. Blessings and good wishes I am sending you books of “Invisible Warfare”, for your own library, for the library of the Brotherhood... and for anyone else you want... from those who like to swear in the manner prescribed in the book. I am amazed at your labors - and I am covered with shame at my laziness. The Lord Himself will be the guide and pointer regarding the correct and unmistakable recognition of the real poor and their care. Moreover, it seems that this matter in itself carries joy and pours it out on everyone concerned. Bishop Savva of Mozhaisk 528. About books – received and sent as a gift About books – received and sent as gifts. About a relative's arrangement. Your Eminence Vladyka, Most Gracious Archpastor! Forgive the Lord for not giving you an answer for a long time. Your brother came, and, according to him, there is no obstacle for him to give up his place if he wants. I will do my best to reassure you on this matter. I express my gratitude for the book. I humbly ask you to accept copy 148 of my publications. Sorry - no binding. Vladimir is famous and does not have a bookbinder. I humbly ask for your holy prayers for me, a great sinner. With true respect and complete devotion, I have the honor to be Your Eminence's most humble servant. Feofan, Bishop of Vladimir. 529. About those who deviated into schism. Please help us find old printed books About those who have deviated into schism: they want to look at old printed books. Please help find such books in the Patriarchal Library The bearer of this letter, Fr. Moses had a desire to talk with those deviating into schism. Was received and listened to. Those who deviate want to see with their own eyes in the old printed books - and written books before Patriarch Nikon - instructions, for example, - the Lord Jesus, Alleluia three times... as the Orthodox Church contains... and not as they think - and under this condition they are ready, as if, not to retreat. They promised to send their inspector and, together with Fr. Moses takes him to Moscow to look at old books. To make it more convenient for them to do this then, I am sending Fr. Moses to Your Eminence - and I humbly ask - guide him as a beginner... give him access to the Patriarchal Library and indicate in which books there is something to refute the schism. Having looked at it in advance, Fr. Moses will then be more bold in speaking and pointing out the schismatics. For God's sake, don't refuse to help us. This is the beginning. If the Lord bless this beginning, perhaps the work of conversion will develop more widely. What a disaster! The schismatic councils in Moscow do a lot of evil. Entire villages are beginning to fall away. I ask for your holy prayers. With true respect and devotion, I have the honor to be Your Eminence's most humble servant Feofan, Bishop of Vladimir and Suzdal. 530. About money sent. General good wishes Most Honorable Fr. Gregory! I mustered up the strength to send you some money. I am sending 100 rubles. Help you, Lord, to settle down well. Best wishes to you and Alex. V. ...all the best, and above all health and complacency. 531. About caution during cholera: will the Lord have mercy on us About caution during cholera: will the Lord have mercy on us and deliver us from the epidemic. And cholera has reached you! – May the merciful Lord protect you! However, as the proverb goes, God protects those who are careful. That’s right, you have books to guide you on how to live and act in times of cholera. Browse and consider... And we have traces, but so far they are weak. Will the Lord have mercy on us and deliver us from the chaos?! – Pray and everything you learn from us; life is in the hand of God. We stretch out our hands and eyes to Him - and in hope of Him we calm down, ready to show ourselves to accept even what we would not like. – Death is not a problem, but a common fate... It’s all the same to die, whether simply, or from cholera, or from some other accident. – If we look behind this door more often, the impression of its opening in front of us will not be so strong. It can be seen as something common. To you, o. Grigory, I’ve already taken a closer look, there must be one. I remember the first cholera. We were dismissed from the Seminary. And when they took him home, cholera started that day, and Father was not seen at home for a month - they took him from home [to] home. – Then the scythe of cholera was sharp. She mowed quickly and hard. But we [didn’t] think about cholera. That’s probably why it didn’t touch anyone. None of the students died from cholera. May God grant that she may be merciful in your village too! I think that it has already subsided for you or has stopped completely. Grant, Lord! God bless you all. Let us know when the storm passes. 532. Congratulations on the gift of new children: the Lord does not grant this to everyone Congratulations on the gift of new children: the Lord does not grant this to everyone, but to those in whom he has more trust. Congratulations on the gift of new children to you. The Lord does not grant this to everyone, but to those in whom he has greater trust, speaking humanly. But the mother is not healthy and the children are bad... The mercy of God will be all the more obvious when everyone gets better and appears better than those who are now healthy. Do not be burdened by multiplying your family. This will look like a murmur and serve as an expression of God’s disapproval of your order. 533. About money sent to help My friends are Vasily Ioannovich and Maria Ivan. – Having heard that you have had a little trouble, I am sending you one hundred rubles. May God bless you with happiness and contentment. Ivan Gavrilovich, Ivan Ivanov, and Alyosha are healthy. They bow. 534. About money sent. General good wishes I was about to forcefully send you the missing amount... I am sending 200 rubles with this. From the fact that you are silent, I conclude that everything is fine with you, and I thank the Lord... May He prosper you both in your ministry and in organizing your family life, and in your external relationships. Is your preaching going and how is it going?! God bless you and your Alexandra. 535. Blessing and material assistance to a widow Your brother wrote that you are now a single housewife. May the Lord make you wise. I am sending you 20 rubles for your current needs. – Receipt must be notified. In the typescript about.
