There had been momentuous change
Not only had our earth-world long since
entered upon its ascending cycle in the
universal evolution of Nature; but our
great solar system, with its central sun
and attendant planetary worlds swinging
through space around still greater cen
ira sun. had now reached a zone of inter-
stellar space where the ETHEREAL Cosnic
Fissence. modified by the benign influences
from a denser population OF celestial
worlds, had become more palpaple and
beneficient to the vital, mental and physic-
al aspects of man. Our own world had
passed into an almost Edenic state as re-
CARDS climatic condition; for, through
time and natural causes, the earth had
slowly geadjusted itself TO its former posi-
ton in the ages long past when It's axis
was perpendicular 10 the plane Gifts orbit,
and hence cur temperate zones reached to
the poles where, in the ages long past
vast herds of mamoth and mastodon feast
ed and fattened IN the luxuriant marsh
grasses.
Through such REIMBURSEMENT and its
consequent effects upon the climatic con-
ditions of our globe, the disturbing ele-
ments OF extreme heat and cold which
produce cyclones, hurricanes, and devas-
Eating sto ms, of wind, rain, hail and
snow, were totally removed; and the ele-
ments, reposing in Natures law OF har-
monlous equilibrium, conspired to serene
and summer calm
But nowhere in all the universe of
Nature had there been such CONSPICUOUS
changes as in the domain OF man. An eX-
allied environment had lifted humanity to
such supreme attitudes of reason and
judgment that man might know and
realize his place and relations in the inf.
3 mite scheme of Nature which is his legiti-
mate heritage
Man had reached such exalted plane OF
reason aud judgment through earnest and
yirtuous individual thought.
Through thought had come the elevation
of the sell to high perfection in temperance,
in purity, in. virtue. and in physical health
and consequent happiness; for through
these virtues the physical man had reach
ed that alignment With Natures laws and
harmonies where life is thing Of Joy and
beauty. Through TIE elevation of the
individual self 10 the standard of perfect
self control the family was governed in
righteousness.
The family being SO governed, the
4 criminal codes and penal statutes of the
state were useless and forgotten, and the
nations of the world aere become a
mighty concourse of harmonious freedom.
Through the exercise of untrammeled
judgment the creeds, and formulas, and
false PHILOSOPHERS of the errant past, and
through which mankind had heretofore
been driven into a multitude of vindctive
and opposing clans, there was now
realized, through the known necessities OF
a common need and common good, a
yeritable Brotherhood in God and a
brotherhood of man.
Throughout the world. where once the
thousands of costly journalistic cathedrals,
and temples; and churches. and shrines,
there was now but one church; for mans
ide al Of God had now become that of a
commoo, universal. infinite Good.
The creed of that universal church was
the omnipotent and omnipresent scheme
OF Nature as an infinite>monism of Truth;
that all truth is divine Truth; and, that
man, woman and child. are by right a
part and parcel of that Truth.
In that universal church man. woman
and child we're taught the laws of Nature
and of life, temperance, purity and honor
for the physical; the legitimate heirship Of
man to the All that is, for the Spiritual;
and, the high attitudes of possible indi-
vidual attainments for the ethical
In short, mankind had long ago cast off
the trammeling habiiments of the pagan
supernatural to live and practice the
irrefragable truths of Nature of which
man IS the highest and hottest manifesto
ton
Through sentient perception, and scien-
tihc investigation and experience, man had
made what in former ages would have
been deemed miraculous advances into the
hitherto unknown forces and elements Q
Nature.
From the earth, the sea, the atmosphere.
the Spirit Ether and electric and mag
netic forces, had been developed, agencies
and energies and subservient sto mans
physical and remedial needs. Through a
more perfect knowledge of electrical
appliances and chemical affinities, the
fertility of the earth had been increased a
hundredfold, and amply supported amany
fold increase of population. for the food
of man being drawn from the vegetable
kingdom to the exclusion of all animal
products, and the supplanting of all horse
