ey will be helped and
encouraged in their hard struggle for material existence. This
struggle, unequal as it is, is the result of darkness engendered by the
loss of faith in God.

Man's faith in his Creator, in the ages preceding your present era of
darkness, was sublime. Man's attitude towards, and his confidence in
the promises of God was as the faith of a child to its parents, whom it
has always trusted. But selfishness has gained the upper hand, and is
now man's master on your Earth. To break the chains now binding man to
self is the purpose of God's holy emissaries, who have descended from
high spiritual spheres to your Earth to teach and show men the way out
of bondage. They will succeed, for Omniscience has commanded it. It is
under their direction that I am now contributing my little part in this
movement.

I am only too glad to have been able to give the information contained

Earth plane who so willingly assisted; but of course we are all obeying
the Father's command.

As life is an attribute of the entire universe, the material aspect of

advancement in point of civilization is in proportion to its spiritual
enfoldment. Therefore the material aspect of life, which includes
God's evolutionary and non-evolutionary creatures, is the same on every
habitable globe in limitless space.

In telling the story of Mars you must be prepared to believe that, from
a physical point of view, the Martians are just human beings, differing
little from the people of your Earth.

The same may be said concerning the activities of life enjoyed by all
of God's creatures. Martians work and have their recreations. They
enjoy the fruits of their earth just as you do the fruits of yours.
They have invented labor-saving machinery, and indulge in a multitude
of industrial pursuits, but with this difference: their economic system
is such that the life of the Martian is not the struggle for existence
you have created on your Earth. On the contrary it is a pleasurable
life in which work is as much enjoyed as is recreation. This condition
is due to two causes. First, Mars is much farther advanced as a world
in its evolutionary career. Second, the
