I'VE know way"
And the people said: Deceive us not
for this thing has been from the be-
ginning, and none hath found way Of
deliverance until now, though many
have sought it carefully with tears. But
II We know q way speak unto us
quickly"
Then the agitators spake unto the
people Of the way. And they said:
Behold! what need have We at all OF
these capitalists, that ye should yield
them profits upon your labors? What
great thing do they wherefore We render
them this tribute? Lo! it is only be-
cause they do order you in bands and
lead you out and in and set your tasks,
and afterwards give you little OF the
water yourselves had brought and not
they. Now, behold the way out of this
bondage! Do We for yourselves that
which Is done by the apitalists-name-
~, the ordering of your labor, and the
marshaling Of your bands and the divid-
ing of your tasks. So shall ye have no
need at all of the capitalists and no
more yield to them any profit, but all
the fruit of your labor shall We share
as brethren, every one having the
same; and SO shall the tank never over
flow until every man is full, and would
not wag the tongue for more, and after
ward shall We with the overflow make
pleasant fountains and fish ponds to de-
light yourselves withal even as did the
capitalists; but these shall be for the
delight of ALL"
And the people answered: How shall!
we go about to do this thing, for it
seemeth good to us?''
And the agitators answered:
Choose ye discreet men to 20 in and
out before you and marshal your bands
and order your labor and these men
shall be as the capitalists were, but, be-
hold, they shall not be your masters as
the capitalists are, but your brethren
and officers who do your will, and they
shall not take any profits, but every
man his share like the others, that
there may be no masters and servants
among you, but brethren only. And
from time to time, as We see f1t, ye shall
choose other discreet men in place OF
the first to order the labor"
| And the people harkened, and the
thing was very good to them. Likewise
seemed it not a hard thing. And with
one voice they cried out, 80 let it be
as ye have said, for we will do it,
And the capitalists heard the noise Of
the shouting and what the people said,
and the soothsayers heard it also, and
likewise the false priests and the mighty
men of war, who were a defense unto
the capitalists; and when they heard
they trembled exceedingly, so that their
knees smote together, and they said
one to another, 1T is the end of u.s.
Howbeit, there were certain true
priests of the living God, who would not
prophesy for the capitalists, but had
compassion on the people, and when
they heard the shouting of the people
and what they said, they rejoiced with
an exceeding great joy, and they gave
thanks to God because of the deliver
ance.
And the people went and did all the
things that were told them of the agita-
tors to do. And it came to pass as the
agitators had said, even according to all
their words. And there was no more any
thirst in the land, neither any that was
an hungered, nor naked, nor cold, nor
in any manner of want; and every man
said Hnto his fellow, my brother and
every women said unto her companion,
""My sister," for SO they were with one
another as brethren and sisters which
do dwell together in unity, and the
blessing of God rested upon the land
forever.
