EXPLANATION OF TABLES 93 



to attain comfort on the Sixteenth Day when, by establishing 

 peace amongst nations, he shall use armies only to prevent 

 war in its worst of all forms, civil war, and so having raised 

 it to its highest stage of virtue by using it only for the punish- 

 ment of crime, after which it will in its turn be recognised as 

 only another form of murder, to be made use of justly, only 

 as hanging is at present, as a means of capital punishment. 



By creating universal peace, he shall so far progress 

 along the track of evolution that he will, under conditions of 

 peaceful federation, be able to turn his attention to forming 

 more perfect governments by no longer making idols of reli- 

 gion, selfishness, love of grandeur, wealth, power and influence, 

 and so discover at last that by extermination of crime, by a

 wealthy man will in his turn realise that true happiness lies 

 not in the pleasures that wealth and ease can buy, but in the 

 reaction upon us of the happiness we create in those about 

 us by competing with our talents, time and labour to do our 

 utmost to enrich others. This brings the world to the Six- 

 teenth stage or day of existence, the creation of Brotherly 

 Love and the Age of Comfort. This leaves only four stages 

 to be evolved namely, Joy, Pleasure, Happiness and Heaven. 



When man can become perfect enough to First, sin with- 

 out offence, he will have perfect joy ; secondly, to enjoy plea- 

 sure with temperance and without intemperance, he will have 

 attained perfect content and health for content is impossible 

 for an unhealthy body or mind and be on the right road to 

 economy and charity ; and thirdly, to realise that Joy, Content 

 and Pleasure can only be obtained by working, not for
