3. Неужели нельзя надеяться, что придет день, когда люди найдут, что жить для других так же легко, как они часто находили, что легко умирать за них? Нужны только подъем и просветление духа в людях, чтобы сделать жизнь человека благородным и прекрасным служением братьям, с которыми бог соединил его.
3. Is it really impossible to hope that a day will come when people will find it as easy to live for others as they have often found it to die for them? All that is needed is an uplifting and enlightening of the spirit in people to make the life of man a noble and beautiful service to the brothers with whom God has united him.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. Suggestive Thoughts on Religious Subjects, compiled by Henry Southgate (London: Griffin, 1881), among the entries under U, after the Dean of Manchester's verses 'Unseen—Musings on' and before 'Unworthy—Weary of One's Self'; signed 'Rev. J. Baldwin Brown, B.A.' (the scan reads 'Rev. J. BaldaiB Bn/Kii, B.A.'); the scan's text is badly damaged.
The first two sentences of a passage that Southgate's Suggestive Thoughts (on the Jubilee list of Tolstoy's sources) signs 'Rev. J. Baldwin Brown, B.A.': James Baldwin Brown (1820–1884), the London Congregational minister, whom the same book quotes elsewhere as 'Rev. J. Baldwin Brown(e), B.A.'. The Jubilee name index refers «Браун» on this page (vol. 41, p. 604) to «Браун Эдуард (1811—1891) — английский религиозный писатель, епископ», that is Edward Harold Browne, Bishop of Winchester, whom Southgate also quotes; for this passage that is wrong. Tolstoy's signature, «Браун», is right. Shortened and changed in small ways: 'as they have found it to die for them' becomes 'as they have often found it easy to die for them' ('often' added); 'a lifting up and kindling of the spirit' becomes 'a rising and enlightening of the spirit' (подъем и просветление); 'a noble, beautiful ministry to the whole brotherhood, the household of God, with which God has associated him' becomes 'a noble and beautiful service to the brothers with whom God has joined him'; Brown's continuation ('and to show that spirit dominant in living histories which is illustrious in the history of martyr-deaths. Let the Spirit descend and breathe on the valley of dry bones, and all will become possible') is left out. Brown's own printing of the passage was not found: eighteen of his books on archive.org (The Higher Life, The Soul's Exodus, Our Morals and Manners, Idolatries Old and New, The Home Life, Stoics and Saints, First Principles, Misread Passages, The Sunday Afternoon, and others) do not have it. No printable, for the changes and the cut.
