1 l Beware, young men, beware of all the allurements of wanton-

2. The madness of desire shall defeat its own pursuits; from the
blindness of its rage, thou shalt rush upon destruction.
3. Therefore give not up thy heart to h_e_r sweet enticements, neithersuffer thy soul to be enslaved by her enchanting delusions. ~ _,
4. The foundation oi health which must supply the st:-mm of pleas-ure, shall quickly be dried up, and every spring of jpy shall be exhausted.
5. In the prime of thy life old age shall overtake thee; the sun
shall decline in the morning of thy days. _ _ _ .6 But when virtue and modesty enlighten her charms, the lustre oi
e beantiful woman is brighter than the stars of heaven sod the inuence
of her power it is in vain to resist.
7. The whiteness of her bosom transeendeth the lily; her smile is
more delicious than a garden of roses.
8. The innocence oi her eyes is Iikethat of a turtle; simplicity
and truth dwell in her heart. i ".

CHAPTER XXII
DUTY OF A HUSBAND
1. Tal-re unto thyself a wife, and obey the ordinance of Allah; take
unto thyself a wife, and become a faithful member of society.
' 2. But examine with care, and x not suddenly. On thy presmt
choice depends thy future happiness. '
3. If much of her time is destroyed in dress and adornment; if
she is enamoured with her own beauty, and delighted with her own praise;
if she lauzheth much. and tallreth loud; if her foot ahideth not in her
father's house, and her eyes with boldness rove on the faces of mm:
though her beauty were as the sun in the rmament ofheaven, turn thy
face froin her charms, turn thy feet from her paths, and suffer not thy
soul to be eusnared by the allurements of imagination.
4. Bet when thou ndest sensibility of heart, joined with softness
of manners; and accomplished mind, with a form agreeable to thy fancy;
take her home to thy house: she is worthy to be thy friend, thy compan-
ion in life. the wife of thy bosom. '
- S. O cherish her as a blessing sent to thee from heaven. Let the
kindness of thy behaviour endear thee to her heart. -
6. She is the mistress of thy house; treat her therefore with respect,
that thy servants may obey her. - -
7. Oppose not her inclination without cause; she is the partner of thy
cares. make her also the companion of thy pleasures. -
8. Reprove her faults with gentleness, exact not her obedience with
rigour. . .- "' _ _
9. Trust thy secrets in her brast; her counsels are sincere, thou
shalt not be deceived. _ .
10. Be faithful to her bed; for she is mother of thy children. - .
11. When pain and sickness assault her, let thy tenderness loathed
her aliction; a look from thee of pity and love shall alleviate her grief,
or instigate her pain, and be of more avail than ten physicians.
12. Consider the tenderness of her sex, the delicacy of her frame;
and be not severe to her weakness, but remember thine own imperfections.

2. Let the bonds of affection, therefore, unite thee with thy brothers,
that peace and happiness may dwell in thy father: house.-
3. And when ye separate in the world, remember the relation that
bindeth you to love and unity; and prefer not a stranger before thy own
blood.
4. If thy brother is in adversity, assist him; if thy sister is in
trouble, forsake her not. _

his whole race; and his care be continued to you all, in your love to emh

CHAPTER XXVI
HOLY INSTRUCTIONS OF UNITY .
l. The gifts of the understanding are the treasures of Allah; and
He appointed to every one his portion, in what masure seemeth good
unto Himself. §. _
2. Hath He endowed thee with wisdom? Hath He enlightened thy
mind with the knowledge of truth? Communicate it to the ignorant, for
their instruction; communicate it to the wise, for thine own improvement.
3. True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man
doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth
not; he knoweth all things, but his own igmrance.
4. The pride of emptiness is an abomination; and to talk much, is
the foolishness of folly; nevertheless, it is the pert of wisdom to hear
with patience their impcrtinence, and to pity their absurdity. '
5. Yet be not puffed up in thine own conceit, neither boast of superior
understanding; the clearest human knowledge is but blindness and folly.
6. The wise man feeletb his imperfections, and is humbled; he.
laboreth in vain for his own approbation but the fool P¢¢P¢1h'in the
shadow stream of his own mind, and is pleased with the pebbles which
he seeth at the bottom; he bringeth them up and showeth them as pearls
and with the applause of his brethren delightctb himself.
7. He '|.nT|iaSi::i.'ri of attainments in things that are of no wot-tn: but
where it is a shame to be ignorant, there he hath no understanding. '
8. Even in the path of wisdom, he toileth after folly; and shame
and disappointment are the reward of his labor.
9. But the wise man cultivates his mind with knowledge; the im-
provements of arts is his delight, and their utility to the public crowneth
with honor. ' '
Nevertheless, the attainment of virtue he accounteth as the isighut
earning; and the science of happiness is the study of his life. _ _

KNOW THYSELF
I. Weak and ignorant as thou art, O man, humble as-thou oughtest
to be, O child of the dust. wouldst thou raise thy thoughts to innite
wisdom? Wouldst thou see omnipotence displayed before thee? Cou-
ternplate thine frame.
2. Fearfully and wonderfully art thou made; praise therefore thy
Creator with awe, and rejoice before Him with reverence. -
3. Wherefore of all creatures art thou only erect, but that thou
shouldst behold His works? Wherefore art thou to behold, but that
thou mayest admire them? Wherefore to admire thou mayest adore
their and thy ,Creator?
4. Wherefore is consciousness reposed on thee alone, and wheuoe
is it derived to thee?
5. It is not in esh to think; it is not in bones to reason. The lion
knowcth not that worms shall eat him; the ox perceiveth not that he is
fed for slaughter.
6. Something is added to thee, unlike to what thou seest; some-
thing informs thy clay, higher than all is the object of thy senses. Behold,
what is it? - »
7. The body remaineth perfect after it is ed; therefore, it is no
part of it; it is immaterial. therefore, it is etemal; it is free to act; there~
fore it is accountable for its actions.
8. Knoweth the ass the use of food, because his teeth mow down
the herbage? Or standeth the crocodile erect, although his backbone is
as straight as thine? - -
9. Allah formed thee as He fonned these; after them all wert thou
created; superiority and command were given thee over all. and in his
own breath did he communicate to thee the principle of knowledge.
10. Know thyself and the pride of His creation, the lime uniting
divinity and matter; behold a part of Allah Himself within thee; remem-
ber thine own dignity; nor dare descend toevil or to manness.
11. Who planted terror in the tail of the serpent? Who clothed
the neck of the horse with thunder? Even He who hath instructed thee

4. Wherefore loseth the pleasure that is before thee its relish? And
why appeareth that which is yet to come the sweeter? Because thou

that which is not with thee. Know that to be content, is to be happy.
5. Couldst thou choose for thyself, would thy Creator lay before
thee ali that thou could aslc for, would happiness then remain with thee,
or would joy always dwell in thy gates?

laws; how many crimes committed by the decree of the oomtill
4. But be wise, CI ruler, and learn, O thou that are to command
the nations! One crime authorized by these is worse than the escape of
ten from punishment. -
S. When the people are numerous, when thy sons increase about
thy table; sendest thou them not out to slay the innocent, and to fall
before the sword of him whom they have not oended?
6. If he objects of thy desire demanding the livu of a thousand
sayeth thou not: I will have it. Surely thou forgettest that He who
created thee, created also these; and tlmt their blood is as rich as thine.
7. Sayest thou, that justice cannot be executed without wrong?
Surely thine own words condemn thee.
S. Thou who atterest with ialsehopes the criminal that he may
00nfes3'hl5 guilt, art not thou unto him a criminal? Or art thou guiltless,
because he cannot punish it? ' . - _
9. When thou commandest to the torture him whom isbut suspected
of ill. darest thou to remember, that you mayest rack the innocent?
- 10. Is thy purpose answered by the event? Is thy soul satised
with his confession? Pain will enforce him to say what is not, as easy
as what is, and anguish hath caused innocence to accuse herself. _
ll. That thou rnayesi not kill him without cause, thou dost -worse
than kill him; that thou mayest prove if he be guilty, thou destroyeth
him innocent. '
12. O blindness to all truth! 0 insuicience of the wisdom of the
wise! Know, when thv judge shall bid thee account for this, thou shalt
wish ten thousand guilty to have gone tree, rather than one innocent
then to stand forth against thee. _ _
13. Insuicient as than art to the maintenan'cc of justice, how shalt
thou arrive at the knowledge of truth? How shalt thou ascend to tin
footstep of her throne? _ 1' _
14. As the owl is biinded by the radiance of the sun. so shall the
brightness oi her counterance dazzle thee in thy approaches.
15. If thou wouidst mount onto -her tnron" e, rst bow thyself at
her footstool; if thou wouldst arrive at the knowledge of her, rst inform
thyself of thine own ignorance. -
16. More worth is she than pearls, therefore seek her mrefuily; the
emerald and the sapphire, and the ruby are as dirt beneath her feet;
thereiore pursue her rnaniully.
17'. The way to her is labor; attention is the pilot that must conduct
thee into her port. But weary not on the way; {or when art arrived at
her, the toil shall be to thee for pleasure. _

ivojd it; dissimuiation raiseth friends, and I wiii ioiiow it. Are not iii
enemies made by truth, better than the friends obtained by attery?

21. Wouldst thou see thine insnfcienoe more plainly?
thy devotions! To what end was religion instituted, but to
thine inrrnities, to remind thee of thy weakness, to show thee tilt
Heaven alone art thou to hope for good? ' .
22. Doth it not remind thee that thou art dust? Dnth it not teil
thee that thou art ashes? And behold repentance, is it not frailty?
23. When thou givest an oath; when thou swearest thou wit not
deceive; behold it spreadeth shame upon thy iace, and upon the face of
him that reoeiveth it. Learn to be just, and repentance may be forgotten;
learn to be honest, and oaths are unnecessary. ' -

ll. The greatest oi ah human ills is sorrow; to much oi this thou

Dear Sir:
In compliance with a request made by the Chicago Field Divi-
sion in a teletype dated April 7, l942 to the Jackson and Springfield
Field Divisions concerning the above captioned matter, this office is
transmitting the Jack Field Division one copy of a report ofSpecial Agen Springfield, Illinois, dated January 28,
1942.
This report is being forwarded to the Jackson Field HA
for their assistance in conducting an investigation of the above
captioned organization, which is reported to be preaching to negroes
and attempting to cause unrest and racial hatred among the negroes
in Hississippi. r
It is believed by this office that possibly there might be a
connection between the above captioned organization an the organiza-
tion known as "The/facific Movement of the Eastern Wbrld' Springfield
File 55=305} inasmuch as it is noted that soee oi the policies and
teachings in both of these organizations are quite similar. Both of
these organizations are presently under investigation by the Spring-
field Field Division.
A review of the Springfield File in the latter case discloses
that the Jackson Field Division has been furnished copies of the last
two reports submitted in the case entitled "Pacific Hovement of the
Eastern Hbr1d ¢

and do not know that man knows naught by being told?13. Mao may believe what others say, but thus he never knows. Ii
man would know, he must, hirnseli, be what he knows. _14. Do you remember, Arabo, when you were ape, or btrd, or!
worm ? " '
15. Now, if you have no better proving of your plea than that the
priests have told you so, you do not lcnow; you simply guess.
16. Regard not, then, what any man has said; let us

forget.17. 'And backward through the ages master minds can trlee

' 25. These planes with all their teeming thoughts of Allah are never
seen by eyes of man in esh; th are composed of substance for too nefor eshy eyes to see, and still zey constitute the soul of things. -
26. And with the eyes of soul all creators see these ether planes,
and all the iorlns of life. -' 27. Because all forms of life on everyplane are thogslzts of Alhh,
all creatures think, and every creature is possessed of ' , and in its
