To Revolutionize Society.
1 could hardly understand how, the truth
of Koreshan science being established, there
would necessarily be revolution in text
books and possibly upheaval of the
Geographical Society, attended by some
thing like an earthquake in the Cosmos
Club. But why every rything else should not
ignore the matter and continue doing bus
iness at tie old stand, in spite of the con-
cavity of the earth, / could not see, and
told DR.. Teed So
Suppose you prove to the world all you
believe, what difference would 1t make to
the average person.?
This was the answer: Exact knowledge
of the form and function of the physical
universe will revolutionize society on a line
with the principles we embody in our ko-
reShan communities. These communities
work on cooperative plan. The amount
of human labor necessary to produce
buShel of wheat Is our unit of value. and
the wealth Of the community is appor-
toned on this labor basis, not on basis of
gold or silver, having an arbitrary value
fixed without reference 10 the man -nower
involved in its production.
Our social system is divided into two
distinct general orders, the prime and ST.
perior order being celibate. the inferior
being marital. The object of the cell
bate order is the conservation of the sex
tai and physical regeneration Koresh-
ans maintain that the dissipation of the
sex forces is the cause of mortality and
that Immortality will come only through
the publication of the mind and body in
obedience to the principles of celibacy and
chastity embodied in Christ and reincar-
mated in Koresh.''
