 So that at all events the first thing which now lies before the government Is the abolition of that oppression which prevents the people from eX- pressing their desires and needs One cannot do good to a man whose mouth has been gagged in order not to hear what he desires for his welfare. Only after having ascertained the desires and needs of your people, or of the majority of them. is it possible to rule the people and to do them good.
 Dear brother you have but one life in this world. and you can spend it painfully in futile efforts to arrest tho God-ordained progress of mankind from evil to good, from darkness to light. or you may, entering into the needs and desires of the people and QeNOllnS your IlLS lO tHciI SslliSIetC- ton, peacefullS and joyously pass 1t in the service of God and men.
 However great is your responsibil- ity for those years of your reign du- ring which you may do much good or much evil, yet still greater is your re- sponsibility before God for your life here. upon which depends your eternal life. and which God has gwen you not that you may order all kinds of evil deeds or even merely participate in them and permit them, but In order to fulfil His will. And His will Is that good and not evil should be done unto men.
 Think about this not before the face of men, but before God-i e., your own conscience Do not be troubled by those obstacles which you will meet if you will enter upon this new way of life These obstacles will disappear of themselves and-you will not notice them if only that which you do you will not do for human glory, but for your own soul--i. e.. for God

 ernment. and especially the idea of recognizing the land as a common na- tional property; but I also know that Tn order not to be compelled to com- init ever more and more cruel acts of violence on the people there is but one means-namely, to take as ones object such an aim as stands in front of the peoples desires and, without waiting till the descending cart knocks against ones legs, to draw it oneself, l. C., to advance in the first ranks towards the realization of better forms of life. For Russia such an aim can be only the abolition of landed property. Only thus could the government. without. as now. restricting itself to humiliating and compulsory concessions to factory workers and students without fear for it's existence, be the guide of its pco- pie and in very truth lead them.
 Your advisers will tell you that the liberation of the land from the right of property is a fantastical and unre- alizable idea. According to their opinion to force 100.000,000 live people to cease to live. or to show signs of life, and to squeeze them back into a shell out of which they have long ago grown-this Is not fantasy and is not only realiZable, but the wisest and most practical work. But one need only seriously reflect in order to un- derstand what is truly unrealizable, al- though it is done. and what, on the contrary, Is not only realizable, but timely and necessary. although it has not yet even been begun.
