proclamation continues
From the commencement of the world all men
have been the Ministers and people of the Elder
Brother and Ourselves but deceived by the Serpant
they thought themselves Migt ty therefore God vas
lngered and drowned the wicked race, saving the
family of Noah But in his benevolence he sent the
Elder Brother to bear the penslty-the Elder Broth

sending also the Eastern Prince Ching to bear the
penalty of disease and suffering. The commands Of
the Divine Elder Brother entrusted the Eastern and
Western Prince and other mortals to support the
Divine Emperor. Let all the Ministers and people
obey this forever without change. All places that
have oeen are and will be, and all the ieople OF
the Universe are our Elder Brothers and Yours.
