little apartment in the Nevskt, across
from st. Isaacs cathedral, study Ii
terrupted from time to time by the
sonorous songs and chants by that Won
derful chorus of Npriests-50 of them
in whose music was carried all the be-
lief and worship of the Greek church.
Hans did not exactly know all the be-
lief, but he felt the worship and the
object OF it all, as If he had been in
a church of the Lutherans at home. AT
Cronstadt, at CracoW. at Peterhoh, In
the kremlin at Moscow, Hans came
on, in the talk of the monjiks, the sol
