THREE DIVINE PERSONS. 



vivors as to the fundamental law of nature. That is, 

 he left writings showing that there were three forces 

 in nature, namely, heat, cold and matter, and that the 

 three forces made everything. It is very likely that 

 he also instructed them to observe all the laws of na- 

 ture regarding health, etc. It is likely that he in- 

 structed them as to the fact that the liberation of heat 

 was a necessity to the prolonging of life of their kind. 

 It is quite likely that he instructed them as to the place 

 they were wont to fulfil in nature, namely, to labor in- 

 cessantly to liberate heat in order to continue life of 

 the order as a means to preserve the little mound. It 

 is quite likely that he also instructed them as to the 

 dangers of doing wrong to an individual, showing 

 them that wrong to an individual was wrong to the 

 cause they all were wont to fulfil. Thereby he in- 

 structed, "Do unto others as you wish to be done by." 

 Some very unprincipled king, after the life was 

 taken up anew after the impact and consequent inun- 

 dation, undoubtedly turned all these good instructions 

 into a form of personality, and took command as head 

 of government. Then he transformed the instructions 

 into a form of commandment that would subserve his 

 desires as the leader of mankind. And fearing that 

 man would seek him out and find that he was the most 

 corrupt of men, he placed the ban on inquiry, and at 

 the same time made a grounding precedent for all the 

 corruption that has been the lot of all men who have 

 come after him.
