King Dasaratha, in his joy, gave presents to the holy priests, the Brahmans—presents of gold and plate, and sacred cows. The people everywhere brought out rich jewels to adorn the walls of the houses, and the city was all ablaze with gold, silver, red rubies, green emeralds, blue sapphires, and gleaming pearls. Rama could play and jest, and, while the king and the queen sat at table, he would snatch up a handful of cream and curds and run away, thrusting the dainty into his mouth, and laughing. Then they went to the Guru, or teacher, to be taught in the book of hymns to the shining gods; and Rama learned the Vedas in a very short time — even all the four books of hymns. The four brothers also took lessons in shooting arrows from the bow, and other lessons in something far better, namely, the right behaviour towards men, women, and children. The Divine Archer, Rama, aimed and shot; and the demon fell, pierced by an arrow. That night the two princes supped on roots and fruit and water in the hermit's hut, and there also they slept.

F. J. Gould (1855-1938), Born in Brighton but brought up in London, Frederick James Gould became a chorister at Windsor, and a religious teacher, but left this comfortable position to teach in the East End of London where he tried to reform religious teaching. He became involved with Charles Watts in the Rationalist and Ethical movements, and was appointed Secretary to Leicester Secular Society in 1899 to 1908, during which time he was also elected as a Labour Councillor. He was particularly interested in moral lessons without theology for children, and was invited to give a series of model lessons in America in 1911 and 1913-14 and in India, under Government auspices, in 1913. After leaving Leicester Secular Society he joined the Positivist Church, first in Leicester, later in London, based on the teachings of Auguste Comte. But shortly after, in 1909, he was one of the first to adopt the term "Humanist". Secularism regards reason as the supreme judge of human conduct. Reason will not try to take the place of the affections which are essential to the existence of the human race, but it should control and guide their action and so make them more useful and more dignified. By the aid of reason we can reflect on our experience and apply its lessons. Secularism declines to receive the Bible or any other so-called sacred book as a divine revelation. It freely criticises the creed of persons who accept the Bible as an infallible authority on science, history, or morals. Secularism considers that free discussion is essential to intellectual and moral progress. It maintains the freedom of the platform and the press, while counselling moderation of language and mutual respect among disputants.
