1. The mystery Of the new gospel ol
peace.
2. In the days of Abraham. when
there was war in the land of Unculp
sslm, and sll the people fought with
weapons Of iron. and with ships Of
iron.
8. (For there came man out Of
the country beyond the North Sea. a
son of Tubal Cain, and Joined himself
unto the people of Unculpsalm, and
made unto them ships of iron, with
towers upon the decks thereof, and
beaks upon the prows thereof, very
mighty and marvellous.
4. There went out one who preach
ed new gospel of peace. And it was
10 this wise.
5. 1t came to pass in those days
that in the country of Manhatton, in
the city which is called Gotham, that
is over against Jarzee, as thou goest
down by the great river, the River
Hutzoon, to Communipah, there was
man whose name was Phernandi-
wud. .......
/ 6. And he was a just man. and a
righteous; and he walked upright be-
fore the world.
Y. But when he was not before the
world his walk was slantindicular. 4.
8. And he loved the people.
g. And Phernandiwud said within
himself, OF a truth l love the people;
but am l not one Of the people; yea
verify, am / not number one Of the
people? and shall l not therefore first
love myself?
10. So Phernandiwud first loved
himself, and the rest Of the people az
ter himself.
II. Now in the days when Phran-
clinn ruled the land (he that was cap
tain OF thousand in the armies Of Un-
culpsalm when they went down into
Mecsichoh,( Phernandiwud sought un-
to himself partner. even q partner
with sheckels; and he found man
whose name was Marahvine.
12. And Phernandiwud said unto
Marahvine: Lo there is gold in the
land OF Kalsphorni;
13. And the gold of that land is
good.
IA. Now behold thou art rich, and
thy servant is poor; but thy servant
is cunning in merchandise, dilligent
and crafty in business. Let therefore
my lord furnish me Of bis gold and sill
yer, and l will buy merchandise and
ships. and trade with the men Of Kala-
phorni and great gain. hundred, yea
even two hundred fold, and we shall
divide the spoil.
Is. So they traded with the men OF
Kalapborni, and got gr eat gam, hun
dred and two hundred fold. But
Phernandiwud divided not the spoil;
for he was not before the world.
Is. So his walk was slantindicu
lar.
II. And he conmuned within him.
self, and said: Is it not written in the
Scripture flor he was just man and a
righteous, and searched the Scripture
daily,
18. Saying, peradventure I shall
find therein something to my advan.
lage.)
19. That a certain steward made
unto himself friends of the msmmon Of
unrigbteousness. by saying to one man,
who owed bis lord an hundred meas
ures Of oil, Take thy bill and sit down |
quickly and write fifty; and to ano-
her who owed an hundred measures of
wheat. Take thy bill and sit down
quickly and write four score?
90. And did not the lord of that
steward commend him because he had
lone wisely; because the children of
his world are wiser in their gen.
'ration than the children of light?
91. And am not /. even. /, Pher-
a child of this world, and |
wise in my generation? Yea, verify
And l will take my bill and sit down |
quickly; and where Marahvine oweth
ne four-score shekels, 1 will write an
and where 1 owe him an hun
lred, will write fifty.
22. And is it aot written that we
hall be as wise as serpents and as
harmless as doves? Therefore will 1
,e as wise as a serpent unto Marahvine,
md as harmless as a dove unto my
elf.
23. Then Phernandiwud took his
ill and sat down quickly. and where
darahvine owed him four-score shek-
Is he wrote an hundred. and where he
wed Marahvine 40 hundred be wrote
ifty.
"a. So his walk was slantindicu-
ar. !
e5. But it came to pass after many
Iays that Marahvine discovered how
'hern andiwud had searched the Scrip.
ure to his advantage. And be
rougbt him before the Judge, and
onvicted him at the mouth of two
illnesses; and moreover, the writings
Tere sgainst him.
