Now the head of the village
was the most high-minded and tender-hearted man of the village.
He notified the people of the village,
saying:
"Upon hearing good or evil
you shall report it to the head of the district.
What the head of the district thinks to be right,
all shall think to be right.
What he thinks to be wrong,
all shall think to be wrong.
Put away from your speech that which is not good
and learn his good speech.
Remove from your conduct that which is not good
and learn his good conduct.
?』 How then can there be disorder in the district?"
Now, how was order brought about in the district?
There was order in the district because the head could unify the standards of the district.
