At 10 p.m., after visiting several inns and meeting many small churches, Marvin and his four companions, along with Kitty, prepared to return to Saint Basil's Cathedral in a horse-drawn carriage.
With the help of Kitty Corps, Marvin and the others easily found small, hidden churches in the city; they were out of options and had nowhere else to go.
They were either absorbed and merged into The Great Church, or they vanished into oblivion.
It was like raising poisonous insects for a fight; the last one left alive was the winner.
Relying on the "value" of truth, Marvin engaged in "doctrinal debates" with these small churches, and although to Daniel and Levin it sounded more like a persuasive ploy, they had to admit that Marvin's rhetoric was quite impressive, often striking at the heart of an issue.
The "value" of truth proposed by Marvin was indeed the fundamental reason for the growth and strength of the Church of Truth.
