66:7.18 The country around the [[city]] was quite well settled within a [[radius]] of one hundred miles. [[Immediately]] surrounding the [[city]], hundreds of [[graduates]] of the Prince's schools [[engaged]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_husbandry animal husbandry] and otherwise carried out the instruction they had received from his staff and their numerous [[human]] helpers. A few engaged in [[agriculture]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horticulture horticulture].

66:7.19 [[Mankind]] was not consigned to [[agricultural]] toil as the penalty of supposed [[sin]]. "In the sweat of your face shall you eat the fruit of the fields"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_genesis#Chapter_.3] was not a sentence of [[punishment]] pronounced because of man's [[participation]] in the [[follies]] of the [[Lucifer rebellion]] under the [[leadership]] of the traitorous [[Caligastia]]. The [[cultivation]] of the [[soil]] is [[inherent]] in the [[establishment]] of an advancing [[civilization]] on the [[evolutionary worlds]], and this injunction was the [[center]] of all [[teaching]] of the [[Planetary Prince]] and his staff throughout the three hundred thousand years which [[intervened]] between their arrival on [[Urantia]] and those [[tragic]] days when [[Caligastia]] threw in his lot with the [[rebel]] [[Lucifer]]. [[Work]] with the [[soil]] is not a curse; rather is it the highest [[blessing]] to all who are thus permitted to [[enjoy]] the most [[human]] of all human [[activities]].

66:7.20 At the outbreak of [[the rebellion]], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:3._DALAMATIA.E2.80.94THE_CITY_OF_THE_PRINCE Dalamatia] had a resident [[population]] of almost six thousand. This [[number]] includes the regular [[students]] but does not [[embrace]] the [[visitors]] and [[observers]], who always numbered more than one thousand. But you can have little or no [[concept]] of the [[marvelous]] [[progress]] of those faraway times; practically all of the [[wonderful]] [[human]] gains of those days were wiped out by the horrible [[confusion]] and abject [[spiritual]] [[darkness]] which followed the [[Caligastia]] catastrophe of [[deception]] and sedition.
