The unworthy make money, while the others are denied wealthwinning. Often they deserve better, yet cannot win it in honorable way. They are tempted to any winning devisable. There is a moment of danger between divided hired. It means many more kindred times between those now entirely humbled, and the wealthy who widen the gap observed.

The year twenty-three and nineteen hundred.

There is enmity between tenant and landlord. They yearn to meet in strife until the feud is ended. Then, after many threats, enemies rend each other.

England meets risings within her countries. Her territory, existing in certain regions, is the seat of mutiny and insurrection and war.

Babism will send its missionaries into all this world.

The Buddhists await the Indian, the one desired. The Vedas tell his ministry now begun. Kali Yuga ended in light with his divine coming nigh. After winter a vine tender and new, shoots up. Even when mean lye enters it satisfies. Then, by divine intent, this vine attains some height. Early months give only thin green. Summer beams high sending strength into the vineyard. Later months give many sunny hours also.
