...Skripnik and Serednitzky and their followers last week that it wa's decided to send a messenger to heaven. Looking about him, Ivan Skripnik chose young Gregory Romashevsky to act as this messenger. Romashevsky blanched but accepted, prepared to die. He lay down on the table in the mean wooden house that serves the Johnists for a church. By his head was laid an old butcher knife, carefully sharpened...
