And bade them love their neighbors.

And on their hams were seated.
And yet they were not lost,

The way to love their neighbofs.
For cne day, when for prayers
Those cannibals they met him,
They caught him unsw. res
They killed him and they ate him
They said they found him good
He'd practiced what he Taught them
And now they understood
The goodness be had brought them.
And when they filled each NAV,
They said. while they deplored him,
They'd loved bim-live and raw
But, roasted, they adored him %
