"God preserve me! There's been nothing of the sort!"
"That's good, very good!" said I. "I am glad for you."
There was nothing more to say just then.
"Well then, I will fetch you the books, and God's help be with you!"
And we took leave of one another.
Yes, what a splendid, fertile soil on which to sow, and what a dreadful
sin it is to cast upon it the seeds of falsehood, violence, drunkenness
and profligacy!

CARMEN SYLVA, the gifted Queen of Roumania, writing to "Die Zeit,"
Vienna, pays tribute to Tolstoy's sincerity and genius in these words:
"Tolstoy's short stories, of all the works which this great
man and artist has written, have made the strongest impression
upon me. I regard them as the most perfect tales ever written.
In these popular stories a thought of the highest purity
reaches us, which to my mind is far more eloquent than the
subtlest forms. The highest art is given us, and it will
survive all times, like Dante, Shakespeare, the Bible, for
here is the Eternal Truth. It surprises me that people speak
more about the so-called greater works of Tolstoy than of
these little jewels, which are quite unique. If Tolstoy had
written nothing but these short stories, he would still have
belonged to the greatest men of the world. When writing them
he could not have had a base thought, must have been a friend
of suffering humanity, and a real Christian."

Five Recent Stories
by Tolstoy
IN ONE VOLUME
Paper Covers, 6d. net; Postage 1d. Cloth 1/6 net;
Postage 2d.
THE DIVINE AND
THE HUMAN
The first and second of these stories deal with the Revolution and its
victims. Here is a sympathetic account of their sufferings while in
prison or _en route_ to the place of exile, with a description of the
psychological processes whereby a young revolutionist, condemned to
death by hanging, is led to a full and satisfactory understanding of
the meaning of Life by reading the Beatitudes. There is an immediate
response from within, and Svetlogoub endures the cross, forgives his
murderers, and dies with a smile on his face.
Another revolutionist, a materialist, becoming convinced of the
stupidity of existence and the hopelessness of the struggle against
reaction, commits suicide in his cell, while an old sectarian prisoner
dies happily, invoking the Lamb of God.
Here also is the story of a young Pole, who, on being banished to a
distant province, tries to escape, but is recaptured, sentenced to
receive "a thousand stripes," and finally sent to Siberia for life.

THE INIQUITY OF PRIVATE OWNERSHIP
THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCESS TO LAND
THE MISTAKES OF PSEUDO REFORMERS
Price One Penny. Postage ½d.
THE ROOT OF THE EVIL
The immediate cause of social injustice and misery is land robbery and
taxation. Behind that lies force, _i.e._ the army, etc. Behind the army
lies a false Christianity, with which everyone is inoculated in youth.
This is "The Root of the Evil," and the true Christian teaching is the
remedy.
Price 3d. Postage 1d.
A GREAT INIQUITY
A discussion of private property in Land and the obstacles to a better
state of things, with Tolstoy's advice to Land Reformers.

individual conscience and to individual action as the only way to
social, economic, and moral improvement.
