TRUTHBOOKLET VLForeword
T he w riter of this pam phlet feels almost sham e that
he is called upon to prove the flatness of the surface ofthe earth.
T h e subject is so elem entary and the proof so obviousthat he feels that his reader w ill be hurt by the sim plicityof things.
I t w ill be, as one of his listeners has already said, “T h eth ing is too sim ple to be true.” O r may I express it, in thewords of another listener “O h, how did they come to be­lieve it?”
Reader, I w ill tell you how the Learned came to believe
in a globular earth.
T h e ordinary and the com m onplace find no place inthe m ental soul of the learned. Com monsense irritates him ,his m ental soul is wrapt in an inner conscienceness that
his learning displaces commonsense and that it rides “roughshod” over the m in d of the layman of the earth; and when
the layman looked on the flat surface of the ocean, the manof Science could not let him believe in what was so obviously
true so at the first opportunity, he did away w ith the flatnessof the water surface and curved it into a globe; and “all theworld wondered” and Professors and Pedagogues were
given a free hand to debauch the intellect of the laym en as
often as they wished.
Reader, I am forced to adm ire the Learned fo r his
progress into the “u n kn o w n ”, and though I am forced todenounce his innate “conscience”, yet, on account of myown conscience, I travel softly.TRUTH
W hat has warped the m ind of the learned is that hisknow ledge comes from ‘"nowhere”; it has no backgroundof reality, no M other to bring it up, step by step, lim b bylim b, bone by bone, sinew by sinew, life by breath, m indby reason, and continuity into eternity.
Reader, behind all knowledge lies one little word “W is­
dom ”, W isdom the Eternal M other of M in d and Law.
A ll knowledge is built up from A . B. C. building blocks,b u t the end of the A lphabet will ever be inim itably beyond
the greatest of any living m ind. H ow ever, the dead m indor state of physical nature can always absorb the living m ind
o f W isdom .
A s expressed in B ooklet I I I , “T he-fin ite (dead physicalnature) encompasses the infinite (W isdom , in her neverending principles)”, for the subject remains im m utably
existent through every m utation.
T h e end o f the m atter is expressed by God, as follows:“T here is nothing new under the S u n ” H e continues tosay: “Is there a m atter whereof it may be said, ‘See, T hisis N ew !’ ”
W hatever can exist has always been potentially existent.

TRUTH

THE EARTH IS FLAT
Reader: It would be a strange life trying to live on aGlobe. Geometry knows no other law tlian Geometry, andthe physical properties of a physical globe would create
insurmountable difficulties for the being called “man” forman is a two-legged, smooth-footed, clawless-toed, andheavily-built creature.
Short of wind, slow-moving, full of fear and full of
nervous re-actions. Picture him on the outside of a sphere
In our popular 34° Soutla latitude.
He has his boots on and his head is depressed hi space
34° to his feet. Consider him magnetised through his bootsto the centre of the globe, where the “big magnet” is located.
Picture him lookuig down into the gaseous void, with hiseyes gouging out of their sockets, and his heart in hism outh; and his prayer th a t his “hob-nailed” boots will not
lose their magnetism.
There he stays “stuck-put” until he swallows hisheart, and gingerly withdraws one foot towards his headto see if he can do the trick “one hand”.
“Like a “Pehcan in the wilderness” he finds himself
standing on his magntic leg of gravity.
Recovering his consciousness and his mental equilib]'ium he finds he has no space below his head save the little
bit between his head and his feet.
Becoming bold in the recovery of his common sense,
he finds he is standing upright to his feet, and perpendicu­
lar to the earth’s horizontal plane.
What a mental chimera he has been through ; he has
imagined himself to be sailing on the OUTSIDE OF A
MOUNTAINOUS GLOBE, th a t is, of itself, rotating, revolv­
ing, gyrating and nutating; and yet, his “mountainousglobe” is but a mere atom being whirled about in space by
the diverse energies of “system upon system” : it is but a
toy balloon fastened to the wheel of the Solar System ofTRUTHTRUTH

the fiery Sun, which system is but a flyspecli on the “udder”of the Galactic Cow-System, which in its turn is but a“lost sheep” of the Stellar Herds of space that sport withvelocities too fearsome to utter.

If you want to know truth, you should want to know
morality, for morality is the basis of Wisdom.
Could you call a man “wise,” th at was cruel?
Could you call an immoral man, moral?
If you wish to know the purpose of life, I will tell you:
The purpose of life is to give you one, and only one,chance of obtaining immortality; through seeking the willof God in His Book called the Bible.
For the purpose of making our subject a personal one,quotations will be given from various letters received fromcorrespondents: we have not received much correspond­ence but what has come along has been above the averagein mental tone.
One correspondent (a foreigner) wrote:“You ought to be able to see why nobody ‘arose in
the Wilderness’ to comment on your theses, which are notyours at all.”We replied:“You are right in saying the theses are not mine, thetheses are taken from the Bible.”
A Melbourne correspondent wrote:“It seems to me th at you base all your opinions on theassumption that you are regarding the earth from a pointin space instead of with your feet on the earth.”
We replied by stating a few basic facts concerninggeometric laws, viz.

No wonder the world’s brain got addled! The reader
will be presented with a series of diagrams and from these
diagrams he should have no trouble in realizing th at he has
been hoaxed by the stupidest manifest hoax ever perpet­
rated on a being who was divinely granted logic, but whoby his own flesh perversities has “tied himself into knots”
to live according to the dictates of his fleshy nature in lieu
of the grandeur of his high mental calling to be rational
and upright.
But maybe, some reader is seeking to change his lifeand mind; is seeking to know his life and the purpose hecan put into it.
We are handicapped from birth, we grow up as child­ren, as other children grow up. We are by nature inclined
to be mean and our dictates are mainly evil.
If we are to make any moral headway, we need a lot of
self-disciplining. But who will, or who can discipline him­
self without the instruction that manifests itself in “goldenglory and hope.”
If we don’t understand the “why and the wherefore”
we will never make progression. Millions upon millions ofmen and women have lived and died with the darkness
that has always been over the Kingdom of the World.
Why? because the man of the world is satisfied withhis own blindness, because he loves evil.
Moral good blinds him, he shuts his eyes, and says,“Away with it.”
It was the writer’s experience to be told by a girlstudent starting out on her scholastic career, that she did
not want “to be good.”
And she is a true representative of the main part ofboy and girl scholastic students, who are looking for aprofession, and the indulgences of human nature.

U(a) Geometiy controls all space relationships, whether it
is empty space, or space physically occupied.
(b) A fixed physical object in space fixes a datum location
for all space. If the location could be identified without
the object, the object would not be needed.
(c) A horizontal and a vertical plane are the shortestplanes of space.
(d) A globe is set up in space by two axes right angled
to each other, one vertical and the other horizontal;

TRUTHTRUTH
an infinite number of great circles going through thepoles of the polar circle form the meridians of theglobe and an infinite number of small circles ascending
and descending and diminishing to infinity from theequatorial circle form the parallels of latitude.
(e) No location on a globe can be found without reference
to a datum, and all locations on the globe are subject
to signed co-ordinates fixing distance in regard toheight and depth as well as in regard to length andbreadth.
(f) "What you fail to note is this: If you were literally on
the outside of a globe, you would have literal gaseous
space below your feet level.
A country correspondent, seeking a high diploma in
Physics, wrote seeking more information, which we supplied
as follows:—(1) On a globe two ships could travel from the same equa­
torial location; one traversing a horizontal circle while
the other traversed a vertical one: in other words,
one ship travels up a ladder, while the other ship keeps
to the flat. Refer to diagram.
(2) A plane flying off the Equator should have as muchgaseous space below it, as it has above it. Has it?
(3) That from your present location your head is 34°
lower than your feet. Cf. diagram.
(4) That if you set a sextant on to the South Pole it would
show an angle of elevation of 34° from your feet; andyour heavenly pole would appear to be about a mile
and a half away; and that if you went to get under­
neath it, you would have to travel 56 x 60 nautical
miles, and as you travelled towards it, its altitude
would rise. The law of optics does this.
(5) Your orthodox global South Pole is located some thou­sands of miles below you, and to get to it you have totravel over two thousand miles downwards in spaceand over three thousand miles northwards, and thenabove your head (90° in nautical measurement) is
your heavenly South Pole. How can this be so, seeingthat you perpetually see your heavenly South Pole

6jalways constant in the one and same direction fromyour fixed location view-point. Nothing moves in spaceof the heavens and the earth to cause dislocation.
(6) If you climb a perpendicular ladder set up on earth,
as you ascend each step of the ladder you raise thewhole ocean one step in height, and if your ladderwere 4000 miles high, you would have an optical globe
of the same size as your bogus spherical globe.
(7) The farthest range of optical sight is approximately
4000 miles.
We will conclude our subject with two remarks madeto our Melbourne correspondent:(a) All locations on earth correspond to Greenwich Aries.
All stars at that moment correspond with their meri­dian transit at places whose latitude and longitude
correspond with the star’s right ascension and decli­
nation..
(b) All physical bodies have four dimensions from theircentre, viz., height, depth, length and breadth.
FINALReader: The earth belongs to God: He formed it frometernal substance, which he claims to own; and which
he claims he can hold against dispossessors.
The heavens also belong to God: he claims to havegarnished them with stars. When did life arrive, how it
arrived, the cause of its arrival, and the result of its arrival,being the resultant Jehovah are all told of in God’s book,the Bible.
The mind of God is the one mind worthy to be known,
the purpose of God is the highest purpose th a t can beknown.
Eternity must continue. Substance must remain, Wis­
dom must triumph, and God claims that in that triumph
He will be there, and so can you if you use your sense andseek His aid and shelter all the days of your life.

FOWLER’S FLAT BARTH SEA PLANE MAP

FOWLER’S SYDNEY MERIDIAN SKY-PLANE
PROJECTION

An example given on page 44, Norrie’s 1944 Edition,is illusti-ated hereunder on Fowler’s Projection. This pro­jection proves the EARTH TO BE FLAT by merely showing
liow the law of perspectivity operates.
The example is: At what distance will a tower 200ft.
high be visible to an observer whose eye is elevated 15ft.
above the water?
At 15ft. high the horizon distance is 4.45 miles.

The Eye creates the Dome of the Sky: the law of sightcreates its mathematics. The Navigator measures all ter­
restrial distances on the Dome of the Sky and then assumes
he is measuring on the dome of the Earth. The Stellarplane is flat: the Efeirth-plane is flat; and an observer
located at radius distance from tliese two planes would
create our bogus globe. The actual distance to the Stellarplane is 5,400 sea-miles from our earth plane. The eye pulls
the sky down (—----- 1) radian = 32°-7. The Lat. (dek)
2of a Columbae is S 34°-l.

At 200ft. high the horizon distance is 16.2 miles.
At 215ft. high the horizon distance is 16.8 miles.
Note the difference in distance caused by breaking theOcean at Horizon Point into 2 parts.

F I... .1

Actual distance to get under “Dove” (at lower transit)
is 5,400 sea miles or 6-218 st. miles. What actually happens
when “George” walks to get beneath “Dove.”TRUTH
