years ago, when he himself declared that his great
creative works unworthy and altogether evil.
Here is his own account of the split in his life:
I had tried to test science and modern Gull
ture, and have turned from them with feeling
of repulsion because of the inability of the first
to solve the really important problems of life
and because of the hollowness and falseness of
the second
By becoming chummy with the peasant Tolstoi
declares he turned to frankness, simplicity and
essential kindness, and he says he is to-day
mother earth than in his life. He declares
the peasant typically, is the ideal Christian And
thus since 1875 his writings have been almost
clusively polemic and didactic.
To-day Count Leo Tolstoi is a large, heavily
built with unusually long arms hanging
loosely his sides, with a wide nose, somewhat
thick lips small gray eyes, a head set on bulky
but slightly STOPPING shoulders and matted
white beard. He possesses air of strength
that is found in few great men. The power that
finds in him is both mental and physical and
hence of the durable
One of this mans great themes is the Sermon
the Mount. In this he has declared that
he found five laws of God and he has made them
his rules for faith and conduct throughout the
later years of his life. These laws
married. as follows
Live in peace with all and do not regard
any your superior.
Do not make the beauty of the body an occasion
for lust
Every should have wife and every
husband, and they should be d.
vorced for any reason.
Do revenge yourself and do punish 9TH
because you think yourself insuted hurt
Suffer all wrong and do not repay with evil for
you are all the children of father.
Never break the peace in the name of patriotism.

They married WELL and said to have com

that his wife has always managed to slip piece

That might be termed inconsistency, Dul
surely it is not the counts choice
The work which some of the critics of other
nations scott at has reached from the matched
hut of the poorest peasant clear to the palace of
the emperor himself
For the sake of peace Also Tolstoi has accom-
pished a great work. The first Hague conference
which history, would probably never have
been called had it not been for the persistent
gospel of this friend of the populace at large.
Tolstoi that the eventual result of his teach
ings would be sort of worlds peace gath

What Tolstoi has done for the peo-
pie of his time in Russia is to be found
in the dress, customs and habits of the
lower classes of that absolute mon
archy but the critics say that right
in his home his own teachings have had
little effect The answer which close
friends of the count give to that asser-
ton is that Russia's benefactor is too
broad-minded to make his home a mar
tyrdom and to inf1ict his beliefs upon
his wife and children if they do not
care to abide by them.
