will allow; live for others.

Natural Law teaches that it is idiotic to pray, and I believe that
prayer is a form of insanity, but were I to pray, which I profess I have
no idea of doing, my one request of the Creator would be that I might
live out my life, in order to spread the principles of Natural Law to
the furthermost corners of the earth; or, that I might be born again in
a well-constructed body, with a mind capable of grasping nature's ideas
in their entirety, and interpreting them to my fellow men in a way that
could not be misunderstood. If the Creator would grant me this request,
and I could have the ability and the power to change the conditions of
the earth to those existing in Sageland before the Catastrophe, I would
gladly give in exchange for the privilege, my eternal soul as a
sacrifice, and take upon myself everlastingly, all of the misery,
suffering, and torture now inflicted upon the rest of mankind.

Good-bye, dear reader, and may your soul always guide you.

walk back and forth, armed with breech-loading rifles, and under orders
to shoot dead any prisoner attempting to escape.

"Within the enclosure, at the north end, are several red brick
buildings, which are used as workshops for the twelve hundred time
prisoners, now incarcerated here. Running along its eastern border is a
massive stone structure, about seven hundred feet long, fifty feet wide,
and sixty feet high, with windows crated by heavy, iron bars. This is
the main building of the prison, and is used principally as a dormitory
for the inmates and offices for those who have charge of the
institution.

"The extreme south end of the main building is walled off separ
