STS PRESS PUBLICATIONS The New Chrysostom by Bishop Artemije "Thirty years have passed since Bishop Nikolaj departed from this world to a much better one, to God's eternal world. Long before, however, this great man from Lelic, the Bishop of Ochrid and Zica of blessed repose, was rightfully known as our New Chrysostom... it is my pleasure to reveal some more facts about him than are generally known by the people of Lelic in particular, by the Serbian people in general, and by the Orthodox and Christian world at large. I am aware of my modest means in contrast to the complexities and greatness of the person and works of Bishop Nikolaj. However, as his closest compatriot and neighbor, I will attempt to present his evangelical life and his varied and prolific pastoral work, beginning with his birth in Lelic in 1880 and ending with his blessed repose in America in 1956."

Also, whoever considers visible nature as the only reality and not as a riddle in the mirror of the spirit, does not know more than the child who may recognize letters but is far from understanding written words. And again, whoever looks at a visible thing as at something absolutely real and eternal by itself, as the ancient Hellenic naturalists did, and their modern followers do, is certainly an analphabetic idol worshipper. He sees the letters but cannot guess their meaning. Spritual reality belongs to eternity while the symbols of that reality belong to time.� Available online at www.stspress.com
