A Strange Sight.
If you could peer through the bright blue dome of the high altar at certain times during the fast a strange sight would meet your gaze. In that incense-laden atmosphere you would see grey old monks and young novitiates with long golden. hair joining in a song of praise. No music accompanies them. No organ in a shadowy lots leads their responses as they stand in mction less groups.

Simple Faith.
Presently an old monk in rich vestments that contrasts with the drab cassocks of the brothers around him retires from the altar, where he has been the deacon, to the Holy of Holies. From here, in a feeble voice, he cries out to God to turn the face of Russia once more to the Trinity.
Simple faith is with the monks of Valamo-their all. They believe, with Tolstoy, God sees the truth, hin waits." I once saw a priest standing along on the wild and rugged shore. The spray beat in bis face: his long hair and beard trailed in the breeze; and the lap- ping tide had passed over his boots before he had noticed it, so intently was he gazing out towards Rossin, the land he will never see again.
