morbid imag<strong>in</strong>ation. I tried to drive awa}^ these apparitions and<br />

tried to imag<strong>in</strong>e that noth<strong>in</strong>g special happened. Unfortunately, how-<br />

ever, the truth stood before my eyes. God knows how I was anxious<br />

that all this should not be true, but to my great sorrow these were<br />

pictures of life which I personally saw.<br />

After all what I saw with my own eyes my faith not only <strong>in</strong> the<br />

Lords of the Church was shaken, but my deep faith <strong>in</strong> the purity and<br />

justice of the Russian Orthodox Church lost all its mean<strong>in</strong>g and sig-<br />

nificance. And s<strong>in</strong>ce then I began more seriously to look up every-<br />

th<strong>in</strong>g that surrounded me and especially to the circle <strong>in</strong> which I<br />

m<strong>in</strong>gled.<br />

Evidently the moneys which I gave did not let the Lords ot the<br />

Church to rest and especially it was Alexander Nemolovsky who<br />

tried and succeeded under one or another pretext to obta<strong>in</strong> from me<br />

sums of money. When all my funds, so hardly earned, gave out and<br />

I could not be milked as a cow any more, Alexander Nemolovsky,<br />

<strong>in</strong> order to rema<strong>in</strong> friendly with me and not to give me cause to be<br />

resentful at them, has organized specially for me a few sitt<strong>in</strong>gs on<br />

which I was violated <strong>in</strong> a most brutal manner by the above mentioned<br />

Alexander Nemolovsky and other Lords of the Church. For each<br />

sitt<strong>in</strong>g I was be<strong>in</strong>g paid a few dollars. But the money thus earned<br />

was f<strong>in</strong>ally taken back <strong>in</strong> a most shameful way. When I was com-<br />

pla<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g of not hav<strong>in</strong>g money for a liv<strong>in</strong>g I was given a few dollars<br />

like alms which I sent to my poor wife and my crippled son. Thus<br />

is cont<strong>in</strong>ued until I could not and did not have the strength to go on<br />

with such life <strong>in</strong> an atmosphere of falsehood and filth.<br />

Be<strong>in</strong>g afraid that I might disclose much of the do<strong>in</strong>gs of the<br />

Lords of the Church, Alexander Nemolovsky promised to make of me<br />

a priest. I argued aga<strong>in</strong>st such elevation, po<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g out that I was<br />

not literate enough and am not fit for the place after what I have<br />

performed together with the dignitaries of the Church.<br />

''Your Em<strong>in</strong>ence," said I, 'T will offend the pure faith of the<br />

people <strong>in</strong> the Orthodox Church." To this Bishop Nemolovsky<br />

answered: "Noth<strong>in</strong>g matters, darl<strong>in</strong>g, you just fit for the office and<br />

you will make a good priest; the herd and the most egregious fools/*<br />

so he called the faithful Russians, "anyway don't understanr anyth<strong>in</strong>g<br />

and you wil be for them a real parson." And so by the order of<br />

Nemolovsky I was given a packet with which I went to Bishop Stephan<br />

Dztubat at 233 East 17th Street. I gave him the packet and<br />
