The reports of the .'nastoyatei'' of

If the hereto is obdurate. of course he
cannot be released, and if he is not obdu-

therefore also must not be reea sed.
This system has kept men in monastery
jails for ten. twenty. and even i'll

the majority OF captives do not live long
or if they do live long they go insane and
are beyond release.
The death of a hereto prisoner causes
much trouble to the jailer-monks. The

for their hero's death. When Father

Souzdai is a small, historic town in
the province of Vladimir. which once
rivaled Moscow in importance and it
has two monasteries and two converts.
OF which Spaso-i efimief is the larg-
est. and the most celebrated. both for
its holiness and for its terrors as d
heretics prison. The monastery has
existed for more than 500 years 1t
was built as monastery fortress. in
order to resist raids by the Tartars.
When Catherine u decided TO add to it
a prison for ecclesiastical offenders she
built a large barracks with classmates,
which is an exact copy of the Schlus-
Selburg fortress. known as the north
ern Bastile. The Souzdal monastery
prison is itself known as "krepost,' -
the fortress" Here, during the past
century and a half several hundred
heretics have been immured

whose fate is now attracting attention.
kuzmin is an eX-priest who has never
been accused of any crime, and he lin
gers in the monastery Jail without trial
or inquiry. He began i'll kostroma
province by organizing public charity
on large scale. This attracted sus-
picion- The Orthodox Church rieidly
keeps aloof from charity and public
spirited works, and in the minds of the
local bishops priest who so works
must De uHSONfl0.
For long kuznn was Spied on in
vain. The civil authorities found out
nothing against him. The ecclesiastical
authorities then denounced him as
heretical. but did not declare in what
his heresy consisted They got an or
der from the synod, countersigned by
the minister of the Interior. consign-
ing him to SouZdal mona stery until
repentance" This phrase until re-
pentance." In Russian ma smireniye' =

At first kuzmin was only "eXiled," that
is, he was allowed freedom during the
daytime to move within the walled mon
astery precincts. But soon after arrival
he was thrown into a cell, of which all
but about four feet of the walls was un-
derground, and he was kept there prac-
tically in darkness for four months. Next
he was transferred to a light but damp
and rat-infested cell. Here Kuzmin has
been kept year iii and year out, never
seeing a soul except on Sundays. when he

kuzmin is d strong man and he kept

from church he felled his three Inonkish

Lately when the news of kuZmin tor

astery authorities got wink from St
Petersburg and now the hereto is re-
stored to exile" and locked in his cell
only at night
kuzmin's case has brought out the fact
that at least 300 other heretics are Ian
gushing in different mona stery dungeons
in conditions as bad or worse than his.
Not one of these is Il convicted criminal.
and In no case have there been judicial
proceedings or formal inquiry.
In some cases the prisoners are priests
who have been guilty of misconduct. but
the ma ajority are .heretics. Most have
never been told in what their htresy con
sists. This fact is denied by the synod
and by the ministry of the interior. the
two departments which do the imprsou-
ing, but it is established beyond doubt.
III many cases the ecclesiastical jailers
take action merely on suspicion and are
not able to formulate any definite
charge.
The system of imprisonns heretics in
lnonasteries has been going Oh Tor :stu
wears. The publicist a. S. Prusavin has
published d book about it. He examined
the recent records of Souzdal. Solovetsk
and other monasteries that are used as
iails Prugavin succeeded in getting into
the Souzdal bastile, and he got hold of
numerous monastery documents which
throw II queer light on the system. One
document is a list of captives. showing
why they are i'll prison. In few cases
this is stated merely AS by imperial or
der" owing to immoral life and for
irregular conduct. In most cases the
cause is stated as for harboring thoughts
contrary TO orthodox, for irregular
thoughts contrary TO church doctrine"
and ''for spreading heretical views among
the peasants.
The term of Imprisonment is nearly al
ways until repentance. Repentance
seldom takes place. as most of the here
tics are ferveut, sincere men, who stick
stoutly to their views. Also the monas-
terry chiefs, ''naStoyateli,' have an in
