MOXKS KILLING TIME AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE ^vIONASTERY 



"I could not help thinking what a miserable life is that of the monks of Megaspelson. 

 They send out no missionaries or preachers to the neglected people; they go through their 

 services with considerable indifference; they haA^e no interest in study; they write no books, 

 nor do they, like certain orders in the Roman Church, care for the sick and the poor" (see 

 text, page 323).
