Having recently lost his wife and child, he is wailing and cursing at God for having deprived him of his dear ones. His friend Ivan comes along and consoles him, telling him that it is all for the best and that wherever love is there God is also. When he leaves, Martuin, the shoemaker, is in a better state of mind and he thinks constantly of the lesson that his friend Ivan has taught him. He begins life anew and does good to everybody whom he meets. He has been told that someday "The Stranger" will visit him. He prepares for "The Stranger," little realizing that "The Stranger" means God, and that He will come not in the flesh but rather in the spirit. A poor exhausted street shoveler falls at his door and is brought in and fed on the meal that lies prepared for "The Stranger." So on for many years, this kind treatment to others is administered by the old shoemaker. Finally, one day, he hears a voice saying, "Put your house in order, for to-morrow I shall visit thee." He spends many nights thereafter waiting, watching, praying for the appearance of "The Stranger." Finally it dawns upon him that "The Stranger" is God, and that God comes not in the flesh but in the spirit. He falls on his knees and thanks God that at last he has seen the light and understands.
