And seeing this might be termed a calling the people together, I durst not say I would not call them together; for then, by the same argument, my preaching might be said to call them together. Wing. and Fost. Then came the justice and Mr.
My business is not anything among them, when they are come together, but to exhort them to look after the salvation of their souls, that they may be saved, &c. Fost. Saith he, We must not enter into explication or dispute now; but if you will say you will call the people no more together, you may have your liberty; if not, you must be sent away to prison. Bun.
I walked out onto Tuliatskaya Street and chatted for a while with Leibner and Vert. I was changed and nobody asked me where my friend Pashinsky was. Comrade Fost was shot yesterday at nine in the morning for murder. It was a glorious inspiration to put the tassel under his pillow. In the afternoon we buried Pashinsky.
Pashinsky thought over my proposition for a second, thinking was a strenuous effort for him. His obscene face wore a suffering and preoccupied expression; then he said: "I think you are right. We'll let Fost stay and watch the inner doors, and you and I will be alone in this side of the house. Then the men on the streets can't catch us, and we will be protected from the inside too...."
"You see, Syva," he said, "Fost consented. Why shouldn't you? I'll give you just as much." "Did you consent, Fost?" I asked. "Yes," said the Lett, digging in his short nose, "I did. I have grown-up daughters at home. I cannot. Besides he gives me money, so why shouldn't I? I will stay in the corridor and won't let anybody come in, on this side of the House. I know nothing of your business.
He said, that was none of my work; I must follow my calling; and if I would but leave off preaching, and follow my calling, I should have the justice's favour, and be acquitted presently. Bun. To whom I said, that I could follow my calling and that too, namely, preaching the Word; and I did look upon it as my duty to do them both, as I had an opportunity. Fost.
And again, I did look upon it as my duty to do as much good as I could, not only in my trade, but also in communicating to all people, wheresoever I came, the best knowledge I had in the Word. Fost. He told me that I was the nearest the Papists of any, and that he would convince me of immediately. Bun. I asked him wherein? Fost. He said, in that we understood the Scriptures literally. Bun.
This was to be understood just as it is spoken; that whosoever believeth in Christ shall, according to the plain and simple words of the text, be saved. Fost. He said that I was ignorant, and did not understand the Scriptures; for how, said he, can you understand them when you know not the original Greek? &c. Bun.
He said again that there was none but a company of poor, simple, ignorant people that came to hear me. Bun. I told him that the foolish and ignorant had most need of teaching and information; and, therefore, it would be profitable for me to go on in that work. Fost.
He told me that I made people neglect their calling; and that God had commanded people to work six days, and serve him on the seventh. Bun. I told him that it was the duty of people, both rich and poor, to look out for their souls on those days as well as for their bodies; and that God would have his people "exhort one another daily, while it is called to-day." Fost.
