They picked this scene at random, and here on the screen we see a very
beautiful city. The city fades out and just one little section is
brought to the front on the screen. We see several children, some men
and quite a few ladies in this group, and are they beauties! They are
almost angelic in type, from what the screen shows. We are lost for
words to describe them, for one couldn't even dream of such a beauty,
let alone to see it, as we are now. We believe that there is no artist
on Earth, no matter how great, that could paint these Venetian ladies
as exquisite as they are. They really are breathtaking. We have seen
pictures of an artist's conception of angels which are beautiful, but
these women, and the folks in general, are far greater in beauty and
expression than any artist has ever been able to paint. And what little
we saw of the city before it was caused to disappear, it was something
like dream castles in the sky.
Seeing these things really makes us want to travel and travel. Seeing
these magnificent planets and the wondrous creations of the Creator,
we are beginning to feel that we would like to stay up here and visit
these places and never return to Earth, where we came from. Life is so
different, so beautiful, harmonious, and joyous, and the individuals
so kind, the word refinement doesn't do them justice. It makes us feel
that we haven't yet begun to live. And if there is any heaven, it makes
us feel this is it. We begin to question ourselves, "why haven't we
been born here instead of where we were?"
We are now taken through the ship. This ship carries a crew of thirty,
passenger load of seven hundred and a freight load of fifty tons. Our
pilot guide tells us this ship is obsolete, that on the next trip he is
coming in in a brand new ship of great improvements.
By the way, all the ships we have seen here on the Moon so far, are
freighters, and this one is mostly a freighter. Yet outside and in the
interior, they are built so fine that they excel any luxury ship that
man has ever built on Earth. We wonder what their really passenger
ships look like, since these are so beautiful and have so much comfort
in them.
This ship is so equipped that seven hundred passengers and the entire
crew can actually sleep in it as comfortably as if they were in a
luxurious hotel.
There is a very beautiful diner here in which one hundred people, maybe
more, can be seated at the same time. That is what we judge. Adjoining
the diner is a kitchen fully equipped for handling all the needs of
passengers and crew on any length trip they take.
Within this ship is everything that might be thought of by man in the
way of safety, communication system and comfort, as well as certain
types of recreation. It could easily be called a flying village.
