THE UNKNOWN LIFT , VIESUS CHRIST. 77
---12“But," began the priests, "low could a pcoplc live according to the laws of justice, if they had no tcachers?"
-3Issa answered: "As long as the people had no pricsts, they were governed by natural laws and prescrved the candour of their souls."
-14"Their souls were in God and when they wanted to communicate with the l'ather they did not have recourse to the mediation of an idol, an animal or a firc as you practise here."
-15"You pretend that one must worship the sun, the spirit of good and of evil; well, I say to you that your doctrinc is detestible. The sun docs not act spontancously, but by the will of the invisible God who has created it,"
"And who has willed that this star should light the day and should warm the labor and the crops of man."
--17"Ilıc ctcrnal spirit is tlic soul of all that it aniinatcs, You commit a grcat sin in dividing llim into the spirit of evil and that of good, for there is no God cxcept that of good,"
.-18"Who like unto tlic fatlicr of a family docs only good to his children, whose faults lic forgives if thcy rcpent of them."
....19 "And thic ovil spirit wells upon the carth in tlic heart of those men who turn the children of God from the right path."
