Father Herman
There has come into our hands a
little pamphlet gotten out l>y the Or
thodox Russian Greek Church entitl
ed “Father Herman.”
We believe the story will be inter
esting to our readers so will priut it
as a serial giving the first instalment
li» this issue.
“Father Herman died in 1?>3T: but
be is alive even now. He lives in the
hearts otthe pe pie, in tne most hidd
en recesses of the human souls. His
great exploit, ins firm faith, his ar
dent love of God and man, his warm
kindness to the poor, neglected and
unhappy people made his name im
mortal here m Alaska and his bright
image precious and endearing.
Father Herman was burn iu 1757
in the town of Berpoohof, I/istrict of
Moscow. His parents were merchants.
From his earliest years he felt the
null to the 'uouastio life. At the age
of lfi he became an inmate of “Troitza
Sergief Pustin.”
How firm his faith in God was
even at that time and his only hope
in Him may be shown by the follow
ing incident that happened to him:
On the right side of his neck, just
under his chin a large ulcer appeared.
The pain was very severe, the infla
uiatiou quickly spread all over his
face and neck and disfigured his ap
pearance; it was very difficult fur
him to swallow anything. In Ibis
dangerous condition, expecting death,
Father Herman did not apply for re
lief to any mortal physician, but with
fervent prayer and tears he turned to
God; kneeling before the image of the
Blessed Virgin that hung In his room
he asked her help and intercession.
