On arriving at the temple, each mind took its proper position, and Contentment was made wisdom to the workmen. “Thomas,” said William, “art thou satisfied with thy journey?”
T. I am satisfied that I am not as others whom we have seen; but I would that they were altogether as we are.
W. Thou wilt now prepare thyself for what thou wilt soon see disclosed to thee. Thou art not as thou wilt be when the more excellent glory shall be unfolded before thee. Take thy work, and bring it before the inspector, that thou mayest receive thy reward; for thou hast borne the banner, and wilt receive thy recompense.
T. Thou wilt not mark the work as mine; for what I have done, thou hast aided me to do with thy fellow servants, our brethren.
W. Thou wilt come with us, and present thy work; for what we have done is thy work, and thou hast done is our work. Our work and thine are one, and thou wilt with us receive each a penny.
T. Then thou mayest give my wages to the poor.
W. Thy wages are thine, and what is thine, thou wilt receive. It will not be as thou hast supposed. Wilt thou bring thy work?
T. Yea; and here it is.
“The work is well,” said the Inspector.
