Proclamations on Universal Duty and Social Reform
Continuation of Doctor Kellys proclamations envisioning a future where every individual overcomes idleness, duties assigned as agents or overseers for the common good, nurseries and schools remove need for self care, and social order descends through a benevolent hierarchy toward a united world community under divine guidance. It forbids murmuring or revolt and promises redress through righteous judgment and mercy.
