The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Forged Coupon by Leo Tolstoy: altogether. And again a village court scene, and
a sentence carried into execution--the lash!
"Ilia Vasilievich, could you not spare me
that?"
"No."
The peasant burst into tears. "Well, of
course, Christ suffered, and He bids us suffer
too."
Then other scenes. The Stundists--a sect
--being broken up and dispersed; the clergy re-
fusing first to marry, then to bury a Protestant.
