248 Japanese Miscellany subject to the sovereign. Therefore do the dead preside in the family council, in the communal assembly, in the high seats of judgment, in the governing of cities, in the ruling of the land. " Against the Virtue Supreme of Filial Piety, against the religion of the Ancestors, — against all faith and gratitude and reverence and duty, — against the total moral experience of her race, — O-Dai has sinned the sin that cannot be forgiven. Therefore shall the people account her a creature impure, — less deserving of fellowship than the Eta, — less worthy of kindness than the dog in the street or the cat upon the roof; since even these, according to their feebler light, observe the common law of duty and affection. — " O-Dai has refused to her dead the word of thankfulness, the whisper of love, the reverence of a daughter. Therefore, now and forever, the living shall refuse to her the word of greeting, the common salutation, the kindly answer. " O-Dai has mocked the memory of the father who begot her, the memory of the mother whose breasts she sucked, the memory of the elders who cherished her childhood, the memory of the little one who called her Sister, She has mocked at
The Case of 0-Dai 249 love: therefore all love shall be denied her, all offices of affection. "To the spirit of the father who begot her, to the spirit of the mother who bore her, O-Dai has refused the shadow of a roof, and the vapor of food, and the offering of water. Even so to her shall be denied the shelter of a roof, and the gift of food, and the cup of refreshment. " And even as she cast out the dead, the living shall cast her out. As a carcass shall she be in the way, — as the small carrion that none will turn to look upon, that none will bury, that none will pity, that none will speak for in prayer to the Gods and the Buddhas. As a Gaki^ she shall be, — as a Shojihi-Gaki, — seeking suste- nance in refuse-heaps. Alive into hell shall she enter ; — yet shall her hell remain the single hell, the solitary hell, the hell Kodoku, that spheres the spirit accurst in solitude of fire. . . ." Ill Unexpectedly the missionary-women informed O-Dai that she would have to take care of herself. Perhaps she had done her best; but 1 Preta,
