"No! No, child! Listen to me. The Light can never go out. As long as we hold in our hearts what he taught, as long as we keep in our Souls that that he gave us that Light will shine forever. As long as we understand that every religion can get along with each other, that all peoples can have their own beliefs and live their own ways, as long as they do not harm others, as long as we hold to that, as long as we keep that as the foundation of our faith that Light can never be extinguished. They can slay thousands of us, they can take all we have, but as long as we keep that truth alive that Light will never fail! Now come, let us find out what has happened, order must be maintained. He would not want it to be otherwise. That that he has brought back to the world will never slip into the Darkness again! It will never disappear again! Let us go forth in his name, and make sure that it never does." And they arranged for the return of his remains, and he was put to the flame, and his ashes spread to temples throughout the world, and The Light did not go out!"
The Warlock closed the book and everybody said "So must it be!"
"I think a good hymn here," Warlock Polley said, "would be "Rocks And Stones!""
The Humes again rose their voice in song.
1. Rock by rock, stone by stone!
That is how the temple grows!
One by one don't you know,
Rock by rock stone by stone!
2. I tell her, she tells him,
He tells another that's how it begins,
Rock by rock, stone by stone,
That is how the temple grows!
3. First one house then one town!
Then one city all around!
Rock by rock, stone by stone!
That is how the temple grows!
"Simple but elegant!" The Emperor remarked. "I understand the meaning."
"Yes, my lord!" Tampon answered, "Yes!"
Warlock Polley sighed. "The hardest part of leading these things," he began, "is you get stuck doing the sermon! And sometimes it's very hard to find words. We came here not quite knowing what to expect, knowing these people were in trouble but not sure rather they'd even welcome our assistance or not. But I think we've been very cordially welcomed, and, well treated, and I think it's a prime example of The Lords' Teachings of doing good to your neighbors. For They have taught that if your neighbor's house is on fire don't worry if he's a friend or an enemy, go put out the fire! If he is an enemy he may well become a friend! If he is a friend that friendship may become even stronger. I think our friendship with these dear people has certainly become stronger! And I hope it becomes stronger, still. We have lost some friends here, but they were lost in a good cause, protecting the innocent. RIght now They're sitting at The Feasting Tables telling stories of Their adventures, and being welcomed by Their Beloved. So, we're not going to grieve for Them, though we will miss Them. We understand Infinite Law.
