lidarity and unity of purpose on
the part of the Martian people. As Love rules our planet no internal
dissension or public misunderstanding exists among its people to retard
any undertaking that is necessary for the good of all.

It is lamentable that the dwellers on your Earth are divided against
one another. Not only are your false ideals of racial, sociological
and religious distinctions a bar to your Spiritual and material
progress, but your political and economic falsities are as millstones
around your necks, which will ultimately lead you to destruction unless
you, as a people, retrace your steps and go back to the pathway pointed
out by Christ the Master 2,000 years ago, when He came to your Earth
with a message from the Most High. The pathway is LOVE which leads to
a true understanding of God and the Kingdom referred to by Christ.

The Martian canals, as telescopic observation will prove in almost all
cases, follow straight lines. When necessary, mountains have been cut
through down to a proper level. Where the canals cross depressions or
old sea-bottoms, immense aqueducts have been constructed of solid stone
and concrete in such a manner that the water, in most cases, flows to
its destination by gravity.

That this has been a stupendous task may be more readily imagined when
it is known that the width of the main canals averages from one to
twenty miles. This announcement might seem to many unreasonable, but
it must be remembered that the volume of water distributed over
212,000,000 square miles of territory is immense. You might ask where
this large volume of water comes from.

The POLAR CAPS! During the Martian winter these extend down nearly to
the equator, and cover about five-sevenths of the planet's surface when
at maximum; and as the snowfall averages from six inches at the edge of
the caps to 50 feet at and near the actual Poles, some idea may be
gained of the amount of moisture taken care of by these artificial
waterways. Ten feet of snow will make 12 inches of water, so there
exists on Mars an ample supply for all purposes.

(NOTE--The question as to why many of the canals germinate has been a
perplexing one to our astronomers. Lowell observed that many of the
main canals germinated a short time after the commencement of the
Martian summer, and for a time it was thought that the phenomena might
be an optical illusion, and the latter theory was considered seriously
by some observers until
