Harry is urged to repentThe followers hear about Philadelphia
Chapter 50
When the religious leader had said these things, Harry yawned and rubbed his eyes,
2Removing the sleepy bugs from them,
3And then replied to the preacher, saying, I would be happy to do as you wish,
4And repent for all my sins and misdoings,
5For I behold your jcertainty,
6And am impressed,
7And will gleefully renounce any and all things I have said or done that lcontradict your way,
8Which is indeed the one true way,
9And the monly way.
10Let us pray.
11And then the preachers knelt and prayed with Harry, and wept with joy at his nsalvation, and went away satisfied at the great deed they had done.
12Thereupon, Harry’s followers questioned him closely, saying,
13Why did you act in that disgusting fashion? These men were fanatics and hypocrites and all manner of odious things. Truly, you should have spoken with your usual wisdom, instead of licking their boots and swallowing their excrement.
14But Harry just laughed at the words of his followers,
15And said to them, The followers of my way are many and varied,
16And truly there will be some among them whom you ohate and detest,
17pBut that is because you are who you are,
18Just as they are who they are.
19Yet I make no such distinctions, for to make distinctions requires thought, and qI prefer not to think about it,
20But to be joyful when my followers prove their rallegiance to my way.
21Then the followers were perplexed, and thought that maybe they would have to think it all over,
22But decided not to,
23Because the way of Harry was growing on them day by day.
