MARS IS RULED BY LOVE, which is in accordance with the Divine Intent.
It is the desire of the Father that every world in limitless space
inhabited by His children be ruled by that Divine Principle. For when
Love is the supreme law of a world, as it is of the Universe, there is
no need of a system of complex laws and a horde of judicial officers to
interpret and enforce them.

When Love enters into the life of a community selfishness makes its
exit: misery becomes a stranger and pain and sickness vanish.

From the cradle to transition the Martian is dominated by Love and
guided by the Father's will. The result of this Love-rule is
individual and communal happiness. But above all, a Spiritual progress
that unfolds the individual in accordance with the Cosmic Intent.

To die, in the sense of passing out of one's physical environment, is
the destiny of every created being. Hence, in that sense, death exists
on Mars as it does on your Earth. But the real death referred to by
Christ: a Spiritual death imposed on man by his fall from Grace, a
penalty for having forgotten God, is unknown on this planet Mars. We
are in harmony with the Father. Those who are spiritually dead are cut
off from the Father as a result of their indifference and ignorance of
Spiritual Truth.

The religion of the Martian may be expressed in two thoughts: "LOVE"
and "THY WILL BE DONE, NOT MINE." The true definition of Religion is a
"RULE OF LIFE," and as our lives are guided entirely by Love and the
Father's Will. WE HAVE A RELIGION.

You, on your Earth, have created a Religion to satisfy your
conventionalities. Truth is simple, but you have made it intricate.
It is free, yet you buy it from the would-be disciples. Both you and
we must approach Him in simple faith: "Unless ye become as little
children ye cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

Speaking of children, I desire to give expression to a thought that may
appear to be outside the subject: it is this: The beauty and simplicity
of youth is wonderful, and to be admired by all: but in the sight of
the Heavenly Father, and those who have progressed to higher realms, it
is not so wonderful as those older characters who have waded the
marshes of life, as it were, and who have trod the dirty steps without
losing faith.

This is to encourage those who sometimes think when they look back on
their lives that all is dark. Their strength is being tried in the
darkness. The
