The Epistle of Barnabas is a Greek treatise with some features of an epistle containing twenty-one chapters, preserved complete in the 4th century Codex Sinaiticus where it appears at the end of the New Testament. It is traditionally ascribed to the Barnabas who is mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles, though some ascribe it to another apostolic father of the same name, a "Barnabas of Alexandria," or simply attribute it to an unknown early Christian teacher. A form of the Epistle 850 lines long is noted in the Latin list of canonical works in the 6th century Codex Claromontanus.

ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

INTRODUCTORY NOTE
The fable, as a form of literary art, had at all times a great attraction for Mr. Stevenson; and in an early review of Lord Lytton's Fables in Song he attempted to define some of its proper aims and methods. To this class of work, according to his conception of the matter, belonged essentially several of his own semi-supernatural stories, such as "Will of the Mill," "Markheim," and even "Jekyll and Hyde;" in the composition of which there was combined with the dream element, in at least an equal measure, the element of moral allegory or apologue. He was accustomed also to try his hand occasionally on the composition of fables more strictly so called, and cast in the conventional brief and familiar form. By the winter of 1887-88 he had enough of these by him, together with a few others running to greater length, and conceived in a more mystic and legendary vein, to enable him, as he thought, to see his way towards making a book of them. Such a book he promised to Messrs. Longman on the occasion of a visit paid him in New York by a member of the firm in the spring ​of 1888. Then came his voyage to the Pacific and residence at Samoa. Among the multitude of new interests and images which filled his mind during the last six years of his life, he seems to have given little thought to the proposed book of fables. One or two, however, as will be seen, were added to the collection during this period. That collection, as it stood at the time of his death, was certainly not what its author had meant it to be. Whether it would have seen the light had he lived is doubtful; but after his death it seemed to his representatives of sufficient interest to be handed to Messrs. Longman, in part fulfilment of his old pledge to them, for publication in their Magazine, and there it first appeared.

# Fables (Stevenson)/Faith, Half-Faith, and no Faith at all

XVII.
FAITH, HALF-FAITH, AND NO FAITH AT ALL.
IN the ancient days there went three men upon pilgrimage; one was a priest, and one was a virtuous person, and the third was an old rover with his axe.
As they went, the priest spoke about the grounds of faith.
"We find the proofs of our religion in the works of nature," said he, and beat his breast.
"That is true," said the virtuous person.
"The peacock has a scrannel voice," said the priest, "as has been laid down always in our books. How cheering!" he cried, in a voice like one that wept. "How comforting!"
"I require no such proofs," said the virtuous person.
"Then you have no reasonable faith," said the priest.
​"Great is the right, and shall prevail!" cried the virtuous person. "There is loyalty in my soul; be sure, there is loyalty in the mind of Odin."
"These are but playings upon words," returned the priest. "A sackful of such trash is nothing to the peacock."
Just then they passed a country farm where there was a peacock seated on a rail, and the bird opened its mouth and sang with the voice of a nightingale.
"Where are you now?" asked the virtuous person. "And yet this shakes not me! Great is the truth and shall prevail!"
"The devil fly away with that peacock!" said the priest; and he was downcast for a mile or two.
But presently they came to a shrine, where a Fakeer performed miracles.
"Ah!" said the priest, "here are the true grounds of faith. The peacock was but an adminicle. This is the base of our religion." And he beat upon his breast and groaned like one with colic.
"Now to me," said the virtuous person, ​"all this is as little to the purpose as the peacock. I believe because I see the right is great and must prevail; and this Fakeer might carry on with his conjuring tricks till doomsday, and it would not play bluff upon a man like me."
Now at this the Fakeer was so much incensed that his hand trembled; and lo! in the midst of a miracle the cards fell from up his sleeve.
"Where are you now?" asked the virtuous person. "And yet it shakes not me!"
"The devil fly away with the Fakeer!" cried the priest. "I really do not see the good of going on with this pilgrimage."
"Cheer up!" cried the virtuous person. "Great is the right and shall prevail!"
"If you are quite sure it will prevail?" says the priest.
"I pledge my word for that," said the virtuous person.
So the other began to go on again with a better heart.
At last one came running, and told them all was lost: that the powers of darkness had besieged the Heavenly Mansions, that Odin was to die, and evil triumph.
​"I have been grossly deceived," cried the virtuous person.
"All is lost now," said the priest.
"I wonder if it is too late to make it up with the devil?" said the virtuous person.
"O, I hope not," said the priest. "And at any rate we can but try. But what are you doing with your axe?" says he to the rover.
"I am off to die with Odin," said the rover.

THE CITIZEN AND THE TRAVELLER.
"LOOK round you," said the citizen. "This is the largest market in the world."
"Oh, surely not," said the traveller.
"Well, perhaps not the largest," said the citizen, "but much the best."
"You are certainly wrong there," said the traveller. "I can tell you . . ."
They buried the stranger at the dusk.
# Fables (Stevenson)/The Devil and the Innkeeper

V.
THE DEVIL AND THE INNKEEPER.
ONCE upon a time the devil stayed at an inn, where no one knew him, for they were people whose education had been neglected. He was bent on mischief, and for a time kept everybody by the ears. But at last the innkeeper set a watch upon the devil and took him in the fact.
The inkeeper got a rope's end.
"Now I am going to thrash you," said the innkeeper.
"You have no right to be angry with me," said the devil. "I am only the devil, and it is my nature to do wrong."
"Is that so?" asked the innkeeper.
"Fact, I assure you," said the devil.
"You really cannot help doing ill?" asked the innkeeper.
​"Not in the smallest," said the devil; "it would be useless cruelty to thrash a thing like me."
"It would indeed," said the innkeeper.
And he made a noose and hanged the devil.
"There," said the innkeeper.
# Fables (Stevenson)/The Distinguished Stranger

XIII.
THE DISTINGUISHED STRANGER.
ONCE upon a time there came to this earth a visitor from a neighbouring planet. And he was met at the place of his descent by a great philosopher, who was to show him everything.
First of all they came through a wood, and the stranger looked upon the trees. "Whom have we here?" said he.
"These are only vegetables," said the philosopher. "They are alive, but not at all interesting."
"I don't know about that," said the stranger. "They seem to have very good manners. Do they never speak?"
"They lack the gift," said the philosopher.
"Yet I think I hear them sing," said the other.
"That is only the wind among the leaves," ​said the philosopher. "I will explain to you the theory of winds: it is very interesting."
"Well," said the stranger, "I wish I knew what they are thinking."
"They cannot think," said the philosopher.
"I don't know about that," returned the stranger: and then laying his hand upon a trunk: "I like these people," said he.
"They are not people at all," said the philosopher. "Come along."
Next they came through a meadow where there were cows.
"These are very dirty people," said the stranger.
"They are not people at all," said the philosopher; and he explained what a cow is in scientific words which I have forgotten.
"That is all one to me," said the stranger. "But why do they never look up?"
"Because they are graminivorous," said the philosopher; "and to live upon grass, which is not highly nutritious, requires so close an attention to business that they have no time to think, or speak, or look at the scenery, or keep themselves clean."
​"Well," said the stranger, "that is one way to live, no doubt. But I prefer the people with the green heads."
Next they came into a city, and the streets were full of men and women.
"These are very odd people," said the stranger.
"They are the people of the greatest nation in the world," said the philosopher.
"Are they indeed?" said the stranger. "They scarcely look so."
# Fables (Stevenson)/The Man and his Friend

X.
THE MAN AND HIS FRIEND.
A MAN quarrelled with his friend.
"I have been much deceived in you," said the man.
And the friend made a face at him and went away.
A little after, they both died, and came together before the great white Justice of the Peace. It began to look black for the friend, but the man for a while had a clear character and was getting in good spirits.
"I find here some record of a quarrel," said the justice, looking in his notes. "Which of you was in the wrong?"
"He was," said the man. "He spoke ill of me behind my back."
"Did he so?" said the justice. "And pray how did he speak about your neighbours?"
​"O, he had always a nasty tongue," said the man.
"And you chose him for your friend?" cried the justice. "My good fellow, we have no use here for fools."
So the man was cast in the pit, and the friend laughed out aloud in the dark and remained to be tried on other charges.
# Fables (Stevenson)/The Four Reformers

IX.
THE FOUR REFORMERS.
FOUR reformers met under a bramble bush. They were all agreed the world must be changed. "We must abolish property," said one.
"We must abolish marriage," said the second.
"We must abolish God," said the third.
"I wish we could abolish work," said the fourth.
"Do not let us get beyond practical politics," said the first. "The first thing is to reduce men to a common level."
"The first thing," said the second, "is to give freedom to the sexes."
"The first thing," said the third, "is to find out how to do it."
"The first step," said the first, "is to abolish the Bible."
​"The first thing," said the second, "is to abolish the laws."
"The first thing," said the third, "is to abolish mankind."
# Fables (Stevenson)/The Carthorses and the Saddlehorse

XIV.
THE CARTHORSES AND THE SADDLEHORSE.
TWO carthorses, a gelding and a mare, were brought to Samoa, and put in the same field with a saddlehorse to run free on the island. They were rather afraid to go near him, for they saw he was a saddlehorse, and supposed he would not speak to them. Now the saddlehorse had never seen creatures so big. "These must be great chiefs," thought he, and he approached them civilly. "Lady and gentleman," said he, "I understand you are from the colonies. I offer you my affectionate compliments, and make you heartily welcome to the island."
The colonials looked at him askance, and consulted with each other.
"Who can he be?" said the gelding.
"He seems suspiciously civil," said the mare.
​"I do not think he can be much account," said the gelding.
"Depend upon it he is only a Kanaka," said the mare.
Then they turned to him.
"Go to the devil!" said the gelding.
"I wonder at your impudence, speaking to persons of our quality!" cried the mare.
The saddlehorse went away by himself. "I was right," said he, "they are great chiefs."
