An ill-considered action on the part of this group led to the disaster
and eclipsed the light of holiness on Nepenthe by bringing the apostles
into conflict with the secular arm of the law. Fretting at the Master's
prolonged inactivity and eager, after the fashion of disciples, to
improve on his maxims, they decided on a bold step. They decided that
the time was ripe for a new Revelation.
The Messiah's last authentic one, it will be remembered, ran to the
effect that "flesh and blood of warm-blooded beast is Abomination to
Little White Cows." He had been inspired to insert the word
WARM-BLOODED because fish, for example, was an article of diet of which
he was inordinately fond, and he could not bring himself to deprive the
faithful of this gift of God.
With misplaced zeal, and little thinking that it would cost many of
them their lives and liberties, these enthusiasts gave it out that the
new Revelation ran as follows: "everything derivable from dead beasts
is Abomination to Little White Cows.
