There have been brotherhoods in other lands, but never any such brotherhoods as on our Russian soil.

It has happened to many of you to be in foreign lands.

You look: there are people there also, God's creatures, too; and you talk with them as with the men of your own country.

But when it comes to saying a hearty word--you will see.

No! they are sensible people, but not the same; the same kind of people, and yet not the same! No, brothers, to love as the Russian soul loves, is to love not with the mind or anything else, but with all that God has given, all that is within you.
