BATHROOM SHOWER CURTAIN: Sergius grew weary. He had learnt all there was to learn and had attained all there was to attain, there was nothing more to do and his spiritual drowsiness increased. During this time he heard of his mother's death and his sister Varvara's marriage, but both events were matters of indifference to him. His whole attention and his whole interest were concentrated on his inner life. In the fourth year of his priesthood, during which the bathroom shower curtain had been particularly kind to him, the starets told him that he ought not to decline it if he were offered an appointment toBATHROOM SHOWER CURTAIN: higher duties. Then monastic ambition, the very thing he had found so repulsive in other monks, arose within him. He was assigned to a monastery near the metropolis. He wished to refuse but the starets ordered him to accept the appointment. He did so, and took leave of the starets and moved to bathroom shower curtain other monastery. The exchange into the metropolitan monastery was an important event in Sergius's life. There he encountered many temptations, and his whole will-power was concentrated on meeting them. In the first monastery, women had not been a temptation to him, but here that temptation arose with

BATHROOM SHOWER CURTAIN: duties. Besides this, a great pitfall for Sergius lay in the fact of his extreme antipathy to his new Abbot, a cunning worldly man who was making a career for himself in the Church. Struggle with himself as he might, he could not master that feeling. He was submissive to the Abbot, but in the depths of his soul he never ceased to condemn him. And in the second year of his residence at the new monastery that ill-feeling broke out. The Vigil service was being performed in the bathroom shower curtain church on the eve of the feast of the Intercession of
BATHROOM SHOWER CURTAIN: the Blessed Virgin, and there were many visitors. The Abbot himself was conducting the service. Father Sergius was standing in his usual place and praying: that is, he was in that condition of struggle which always occupied him during the service, especially in the large church when he was not himself conducting the service. This conflict was occasioned by his irritation at the presence of fine folk, especially ladies. He tried not to see them or to notice all that went on: how a bathroom shower curtain conducted them, pushing the common people aside, how the ladies pointed out the monks to one
