Signed 'after Martineau': two sentences retold. 'in proportion as our nature rises in its nobleness, does it realize its immortality' becomes 'The more spiritual our life becomes, the more we believe in immortality': nobleness becomes spirituality, and realizing immortality believing in it. Of 'As it retires from animal grossness, from selfish meanness, from pitiable ignorance or sordid neglect, … do its doubts disperse, its affections aspire' Tolstoy keeps the animal grossness and the doubts. 'the veil is uplifted from the future, the darkness breaks away' is kept; 'and the spirit walks in dignity within the paradise of God's Eternity' becomes 'and we already here feel our immortality' (и мы здесь уже чувствуем свое бессмертие). Unity's Church-Door Pulpit printed the passage in its Martineau number (1886), with 'the veil is lifted up', which is nearer Tolstoy's 'The veil is taken off' (Покрывало снимается) than the sermon's 'uplifted'; the same series printed the Parker passages of 4-17.1 and 4-17.2, and its masthead is the title on the Jubilee list ('Freedom, Fellowship and Character in Religion'), so this number was probably Tolstoy's route. Tolstoy reprinted the Circle's text word for word in «На каждый день» (30 March). No printable.

James Martineau, as in April and November, and not Harriet Martineau, to whom the Jubilee name index refers «Мартино» on this page (vol. 41, p. 318). A close translation of the sentence as Coit prints it, without Martineau's 'In truth': 'the animating spring of all improvement' becomes 'the moving force in all improvements' (Двигающая сила во всех совершенствованиях), 'their knowledge of the actual' 'the knowledge of what is', 'their conception of the possible' 'the idea of what may be'. One word differs: 'societies' is 'peoples' (народов). Faithful to the English: printable offered (the reviewer may weigh 'societies'). Coit's book is on the Jubilee list of Tolstoy's sources, and holds May's other Martineau (5-21.5) too.

Martineau's one sentence of three clauses, made three sentences, each changed. 'No one can have a true idea of right, until he does it' becomes 'No one can have an idea of the good until he has begun to do it' ('right' becomes 'the good', добре, and 'true' moves to the second clause); 'any genuine reverence for it, till he has done it often and with cost' becomes 'no one can truly love it until he has done it often and with sacrifice' (reverence becomes love, cost sacrifice); 'any peace ineffable in it, till he does it always and with alacrity' becomes 'no one can find rest in it until he does it always' ('ineffable' and 'with alacrity' are left out). The sentence is in Coit (1902), which holds May's other Martineau (5-11.2), and in Unity's Church-Door Pulpit of 1 March 1886, through which April's Martineau came; either may be Tolstoy's route. The saved scan of the 1858 sermon reads 'often i and with cost', so the middle clause is shown from Coit. No printable.

Two passages from two sermons, joined as Unity's Martineau number of 1886 joins them under 'One's Lot' (What Tolstoy read; April found its Martineau there too). The first is reworded: 'Wretched and barren is the discontent that quarrels with its tools instead of with its skill; and, by criticizing Providence, manages to keep up complacency with self' becomes 'Hopeless is the position of one who in his misfortunes reproaches fate, not himself, thereby affirming his self-satisfaction': the image of the tools and the skill is gone. The four examples become a quotation in the first person: 'How gentle should we be, if we were not provoked; how pious, if we were not busy' is close ('we would be kind and meek if we were not irritated'); 'the sick would be patient, only he is not in health' becomes 'I would be patient if I were well'; 'the obscure would do great things, only he is not conspicuous' becomes 'I would astonish the world if I had fame'. 'if we cannot sanctify our present lot, we could sanctify no other' becomes 'If we cannot make good and holy the position we are in, we shall make no position good and holy' (sanctify becomes 'make good, holy'). Left out: 'Our heaven and our Almighty Father are there or nowhere' and 'its mysteries are for our worship'. 'The obstructions of that lot are given for us to heave away by the concurrent touch of a holy spirit, and labor of strenuous will' becomes 'given us that we may smooth and destroy them by our kindness and firmness'; 'its gloom, for us to tint with some celestial light' becomes 'that we may light it with the divine light of inner, spiritual work'; 'its sorrows for our trust' becomes 'that we may bear them patiently and trustingly'; 'its perils for our courage; its temptations for our faith' are close. Tileston's Daily Strength for Daily Needs prints the two passages apart (28 August and 23 December); only Unity joins them. Tolstoy reprinted the Circle's text in «На каждый день» (27 May) and in Путь жизни (Tolstoy's other version). The Jubilee name index refers «Мартино» in vol. 41 to Harriet Martineau («Мартино Гэрриэт»); the author is James, as May found. No printable.

Changed in its second sentence. Unity's selection cuts Martineau's first sentence after 'an eternity', leaving out 'and lose no grain of wisdom, when we discern the glorious and immortal structure which its successive accumulations shall raise', and Tolstoy's thought has the same cut, so the selection was his source. 'Then only shall we wisely economize moments when we anticipate for ourselves an eternity' becomes 'Only then shall we be able to make use of every minute, when we are sure of our eternity' (когда мы будем уверены в своей вечности). 'Then will even the merest drudgery of duty cease to humble us, when we transfigure it by the glory of our own spirit' becomes 'Only when we bring into it the consciousness of our spirituality will the most trifling duty not seem low to us' (Только когда мы внесем в нее сознание нашей духовности, самая ничтожная обязанность не будет казаться нам низкою): Martineau's transfiguring 'glory of our own spirit' becomes the 'consciousness of our spirituality'. The Jubilee name index calls «Мартино» Harriet Martineau, as in earlier months; the author is James.

Shortened, and close to the abridgment Tolstoy read. Howland's selection in Unity's Church-Door Pulpit, which earlier months found behind Tolstoy's Martineau, prints the passage under the heading 'Thou in me, and I in Thee' and runs '... far too fair and deep for language to express. But he is expelled by the least unfaithfulness', leaving out Martineau's 'while he is thus prompt to come with his Spirit to the help of seeking hearts'; Tolstoy's «Но малейшая неверность ему — и он покидает нас» (But the least unfaithfulness to him, and he leaves us) follows that shorter text. Tolstoy also leaves out 'and constitute the proper sphere of our personal agency' and the two sentences on 'our better love, and higher aspirations' and 'the sweet touch of his morning light within us'. Changed words: 'the untraceable line that separates his being from ours' becomes «непроводимую черту между богом и нами» (the line that cannot be drawn between God and us); 'the realm of spontaneous thought and emotion' becomes «в области свободной мысли и чувства» (free thought and feeling); 'there is scope enough for his abode with us' becomes «нельзя не признать его присутствия» (one cannot but acknowledge his presence); 'is expelled' becomes «покидает нас» (leaves us). The 1858 text prints 'perenial'. The same sermon gave July's 7-23.3. The vol. 42 name index refers «Мартино» to Harriet Martineau; the author is James.

Close, sentence by sentence, with small simplifications ('your boast of indifference to be a sad pretence' becomes 'we cannot neglect it'; 'to fight the good fight though in the forlorn hope alone' becomes 'to struggle alone and without hope of success'; the stars-and-thunder image at the end is dropped, and 'Justice, Purity, and Truth' becomes 'justice, goodness, truth').
