On the ceiling as well as on the walls were beautiful murals of other
planets and their inhabitants, as well as of other systems. In the east
end of the building on the wall was a mural of the same Deity as we
have seen in the Jupiter ship in the city of the Moon. Only, instead of
being a portrait as in the ship, this mural was a full length portrayal
of the Deity seated on a throne with such a majestic beauty and state
of expression beyond description, yet possessing some mysterious power
which really made us feel that we were in the presence of the Almighty,
as we already knew we were.
When the leader of the state of Mars took his place at the head of this
magnificent banquet table and the room was filled with an overflowing
capacity of the citizens of that city, the leader turned to the mural.
As he did this, all heads bowed and these are the words he said:
"Almighty Father of us all, creator of Thy magnificent kingdom, we give
thanks unto Thee for the privilege of being the first ones to admit
unto us our long lost brothers, children of our Father. May this feast
be one of holiness. And may the eternal message, 'that Thine love is
greater than Thine kingdom' be so retained within the hearts of these
brethren, that when they return to their home which Thou hast given
them to dwell therein, they may give unto their brothers, who are also
our brothers, the truth as they now have received it."
And then the head of the state bowed upon his knees to the mural upon
the wall, the likeness of the all Supreme Intelligence, as known upon
Earth, the God of the Universe.
After this blessing, we proceeded with the feast which included
everything, we might say, that was eatable upon Mars. We have never
seen anything like it. Out of nowhere, it seemed, smaller banquet
tables had appeared in front of the spectators, as we may call them,
and they too feasted with us.
During the progress of the feast our scientist host spoke, saying:
"These Earthly brothers have come a long way to reach our home land.
They have succeeded while others have failed after many disastrous
attempts. There have been many civilizations upon our sister planet
known as Earth who have tried to come to our planet. Each time a
disaster has overtaken them. Now the all loving Father has guided these
brothers to arrive safely, where others have failed."
