ntains, and
have discovered on our world unmistakable signs of human life. During my
visit thither the experts were working on a much larger lens, and it is
claimed that when this is finished human forms can be discerned on the
Earth and can be seen with more accuracy on Mars.

The five moons that revolve around Jupiter have been studied with marked
interest. Two of these moons have displayed definite signs of human
life. It is promised also that the coming lens will unlock the doors of
the several moons and permit the astronomers of Jupiter to pry into the
secrets of their celestial neighbors.

During the past one thousand years, the Jupiterites have made
numberless attempts to establish communication between these moons and
their planet, but all their efforts have failed. Either the Moonites are
too stupid, or the Jupiterites are not expert enough in throwing out
signals or in building air ships.

For no one thing more than another did I envy the astronomers of Jupiter
than for their marvelous magnifying lenses. I knew that if we had such
lenses, or the material to make them, we could watch with ease the
inhabitants of the Moon or of Mars, and we could study the intelligent
life on Mercury and Venus, to say nothing of the great advantages we
should have in observing comets and all the numberless starry systems
scattered throughout illimitable space.

The religious life of Jupiter proved to be intensely interesting to me.
They have a sacred book which corresponds to our Bible, and it has
always remained in its original form because there is but one language.

Since I left my own world I had not felt so kindred a touch in spirit as
when I invisibly entered one of their great temples of worship, as we
might call it. No vocal music was there, but the mute beckoning of
several thousand arms, as if to implore the favor of the great Inzoork
or Creator, was impressively eloquent to me.

I was thrilled with joy as I learned more of their religion. I found
that their love and service were akin to those of our planet, and that
these same bonds unite them one to another. My conceptions were
enlarging as I saw the family of God enlarging, and I felt that although
I was unlike them in the physical, yet I was their brother in spirit,
and that we all have one Father.

Religious liberty was enjoyed until a few centuries ago when certain
restrictions were formulated. It was seen that some, in exercising their
liberty, proved to
