THE DAMNED STUNDIST.

Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing (James iii. 10).

Roar, ye thunders of the church!
Arise, ye fulminations of the councils!
Crush with eternal anathemas
The accursed set of Stundists!

But I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother
without a cause, shall be in danger of the judgment (Matt. v. 22).

II.

The Stundist demolishes our dogmas;
The Stundist rejects our traditions;
The Stundist scoffs at our ceremonies;
The heretic, the accursed Stundist!

And He said unto them, full well do ye reject the commandment
of God, that ye may keep your traditions (Mark vii. 9).

III.

God hath honoured our Russian church
With great renown and glory:—
Her, our mother dear.
Slanders the accursed Stundist.

For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there am
I in the midst of them.

IV.

Like stars in the firmament
The holy temples
Shine throughout our native land:
Shunned are they by the accursed Stundist.

The temple of God is holy, which temple ye are (1 Cor. 3-17). Know
ye not that ye are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth
in you ? (1 Cor. iii. 16).
