67:4.1When the fi­nal roll was called, the cor­po­real mem­bers of the Prince’s staff were found to have aligned them­selves as fol­lows: Van and his en­tire court of co-or­di­na­tion had re­mained loyal. Ang and three mem­bers of the food coun­cil had sur­vived. The board of an­i­mal hus­bandry were all swept into re­bel­lion as were all of the an­i­mal-con­quest ad­vis­ers. Fad and five mem­bers of the ed­u­ca­tional fac­ulty were saved. Nod and all of the com­mis­sion on in­dus­try and trade joined Cali­gas­tia. Hap and the en­tire col­lege of re­vealed re­li­gion re­mained loyal with Van and his no­ble band. Lut and the whole board of health were lost. The coun­cil of art and sci­ence re­mained loyal in its en­tirety, but Tut and the com­mis­sion on tribal gov­ern­ment all went astray. Thus were forty out of the one hun­dred saved, later to be trans­ferred to Je­ru­sem, where they re­sumed their Par­a­dise jour­ney.

66:5.136. The col­lege of re­vealed re­li­gion. This body was slow in func­tion­ing. Uran­tia civ­i­liza­tion was lit­er­ally forged out be­tween the anvil of ne­ces­sity and the ham­mers of fear. But this group had made con­sid­er­able prog­ress in their at­tempt to sub­sti­tute Cre­ator fear for crea­ture fear (ghost wor­ship) be­fore their labors were in­ter­rupted by the later con­fu­sion at­ten­dant upon the se­ces­sion up­heaval. The head of this coun­cil was Hap.

66:7.8Hap pre­sented the early races with a moral law. This code was known as “The Fa­ther’s Way” and con­sisted of the fol­low­ing seven com­mands:

66:7.91. You shall not fear nor serve any God but the Fa­ther of all.

66:7.102. You shall not dis­obey the Fa­ther’s Son, the world’s ruler, nor show dis­re­spect to his super­hu­man as­so­ciates.

66:7.113. You shall not speak a lie when called be­fore the judges of the peo­ple.

66:7.124. You shall not kill men, women, or chil­dren.

66:7.135. You shall not steal your neigh­bor’s goods or cat­tle.

66:7.146. You shall not touch your friend’s wife.

66:7.157. You shall not show dis­re­spect to your par­ents or to the el­ders of the tribe.

66:7.16This was the law of Dala­ma­tia for al­most three hun­dred thou­sand years. And many of the stones on which this law was in­scribed now lie be­neath the wa­ters off the shores of Mes­o­po­ta­mia and Per­sia. It be­came the cus­tom to hold one of these com­mands in mind for each day of the week, us­ing it for salu­ta­tions and meal­time thanks­giv­ing.
