THE STUNDISTS.

Neu-Danzig, and other colonies, and returning to their own villages they spread the light that had illumined their own souls. In two years, or before 1860, there was hardly a Russian hamlet in the neighbourhood of Nicolaieff that had not its little company of earnest Stundists, teaching and praying, meeting together either openly or in secret, and zealously carrying forward a work dearer to them than life itself.

We now propose to carry on the history of this extraordinary movement a stage further, and to show how it streamed over the boundary of the province of Kherson into other districts of Russia.
