Excerpt from Religion and Social Theories: I. The Isle of Dreams The great drought, which had wiped out so much of the produce belonging to this agricultural people, was to be succeeded by abundant showers of the first rain and the latter rain. Where there had been want, there would be plenty. Where there had been poverty, there would be wealth. Where there had been distress, there would be relief. Where there had been wailing and weeping, there would be joy and happiness. These pleas ant conditions were to follow from the fact that God, in His mercv, had restored prosperity to the land.
