reight and passenger railroad. This
saves a tremendous amount of labor, for the goods are all transferred
directly from the cars to the store-houses.

There is no Fire Department, for there is no need of one. It appears
that only a few worlds in the universe use inflammable materials for
structural purposes, and we are one of them.

There is a Finance Department and a Law Department, although I cannot
give space for their description.

The Sanitary and Police Departments are under systems absolutely
different from any that are known in our world. Their sanitary methods
are no more effective than ours, perhaps less so. But the Police
Department is greatly superior. This is largely due to the fact that
this city has a department gloriously ahead of any city in which I have
ever lived. This department is called the Moral Department. It is
managed by twenty-one men and women, one-third of whom are selected
annually from a list of nominees.

Each church, meeting certain requirements, is entitled to make one
nomination. The seven of these nominees receiving the largest number of
votes are elected for three years.

This Moral Department is no mincing and begging institution. It has, at
its disposal, the entire military battery. No mayor holds a whip handle
over it. I must confess I was happy as I witnessed the blessed effect of
this Moral Department. All evil is not extirpated, neither is all
lawlessness overcome, but there is no brazen iniquity, no public
immorality and heartless brutality such as is seen on every hand in one
of our larger municipalities.

CHAPTER XII.

A World Enjoying Its Millennium.

What expansive views of creation were afforded me in my universal
journey! I saw all conceivable types of human life, many of which I
alone could never have conceived.

With a happy soul I alighted on another world in the solar system of
Dubhe where sin had been banished, and the believers, or children of
God, were passing through a period of time which we would call the
Millennium.

A wide contrast was now presented to my view. I had seen world after
world in the tribulation of sin. Now I had come to one under the sway of
righteousness, and I wish that I had power to describe what I saw and
experienced.

I suddenly thought of the Queen of Sheba, who, upon seeing the greatness
of Solomon's wisdom, exclaimed, "Behold, the half was not told me." I
had often imagined what the condition of our world would be
