And in the third year the people of the tribe of Twenty-Three made for their chief ruler one of the house of Kennedy; for second in rank, one of the house of North; for chief scribe, one of the house of Thurston; and for chief money-changer, one of the house of Smith. o And French, the chief law-giver, called all 13. H. S. and said un¬ to them. 3. Hear, O, 13. H. S., the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them and keep and do them. 4. And lo, it came to pass that one was called to lead the tribe of Twenty-three who was strong in wisdom; Clara, the fair maiden of the house of Sturgis. 5. And behold, for the second time during their sojourn in the land of 13. H. S. they rode upon carts of hay to the land of Fitzpatrick; and there was great feasting and merry-making. G. Now it came to pass that in the fourth month of the third year when all the tribes of B. H. S. were called together in one great congrega¬ tion, that the children of Twenty-Three disobeyed the teachings of French, the law-giver, and they sang the song of their tribe. 7. And when French heard it, he was much displeased and said unto them: ! 8 Ye have sinned a great sin. What have these, your brethern, done unto you that ye should bring so great a sin upon them? 9. And lo, the tribe of Twentv-Three were filled with remorse and 7 t repented. 10. And now in the ninth month there was a time of great rejoicing when the tribes of Twenty-Three and Twenty-Two came together in the land of the Elks with much singing and great thanksgiving. CHAPTER IV 1. And it came to pass that after the third year was expired at the time that the highest tribe left the land, the tribe of Twenty-Three was above all others. 2.
