A wayward son, Will Tellis, comes to his senses after much incontinent revelry.\u00a0\u00a0 Having squandered his parents’ wealth and caused them many-a pain, he gets his head on straight. \u00a0(An answer to prayers!)\u00a0 Then, he decides to go whole-hog straight and take up that cause most precious to his parents – abortion. On a whim (divine inspiration, we might suppose), he blows up all the abortuaries within his county and is on the run when discovery is made by police of his identity as “the bomber.”\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

News reports feature pleas from the authorities for\nassistance is breaking the case.  \nDiscussion is brief among the Pro-life community.  Conclusion is to collude with the police!  “Law and order” must be upheld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will, tracking the news as he conceals his identity and\nhides out in various places, is sorely disappointed by the condemnation his\ndeeds are receiving from all the otherwise-pious church folks and the anti-abortionists\nfound generally among them.  He is\ndumbfounded and wonders about his own motives for his action. Was he\nwrong?  Proud?  Deceived? \nDid he waste opportunity?  Did he\nthrow a new start on life away?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isolated and lonely in hiding, he grows weary in wondering\nabout his fate.   Finally, he decides to\nstart anew –  another place, another\nname.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He ends up in Argentina, way down at the southern\nmost region, where he meets the descendants of other refugees from past:  the great, great grandchildren of Nazis.  These are of a devout Christian mind, living\ntogether in a town where the Ten Commandments are law and the statutes are\nenforced with Deuteronomic accuracy. \nMurderers and adulterers are executed. Thieves are not incarcerated or\nmutilated, but compelled to pay back double their spoils. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The economies, meanwhile, of the West fall with\ndepression-era magnitude.  Will’s skills\nin developing small community order come into play.  He sends envoys from his colony to the\ndevastated nations to restore order.   He\nknows how to build a just society.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
