Today we are being taken to one of the many Houses of Science where
more advanced laws of the universe are studied and worked with. These
correspond a great deal to our universities. Learning here never ceases.
This House of Science is one of a group like one building of the many
built on the campus grounds belonging to any large university. Entering
it, we find ourselves in a vast room without windows. The light is
equal to the out-of-doors but we are unable to detect its source. The
air too, is fresh and clean but there is neither sound nor feel of any
type of air conditioning with which we are familiar.
The floor is covered with a thick, soft covering and beautiful easy
chairs are placed about for the comfort of those coming here.
On the wall directly in front of us is an immense screen.
After we were seated, our guide and host darkened the room. Then he
pushed a button on the wall and to our amazement, our ship that we had
left on the Moon was right there before us. This was done, we were
told, by means of the little instrument which had been attached to our
ship before we left the Moon for Mars. It is the same principle which
we call 'television' but used with a far greater degree of advancement
than we have yet learned on Earth.
"Here is something else," our friend remarked, as he pressed another
button on the wall.
Our ship was gone and we were on Earth again, looking upon the airbase
in the desert, a short distance out of Los Angeles, from where we
had taken off on our trip to the Moon. The scene shifted and we were
viewing downtown Los Angeles. The people walking along the sidewalks
and crossing the streets were so clear and their individual expressions
so distinct that we could easily have recognized anyone that we knew.
"You can now understand how we know so much about your Earth, what you
do, how far you have progressed, and in what direction," explained our
host.
"We know the people on Earth are hostile and to prove to you how well
we know this, here is another part of the Earth you will recognize.
Isn't this the part where the great law-giver was born, whom you call
Jesus? See how hostile the people are around his birthplace, when he
only gave love as the law by which men of the Earth were to live."
Another scene comes into view as he continues. "This is one of your
large cities on Earth. Here you see two men arguing. One strikes the
other. You call it 'fighting'. Isn't that hostile?"
"We give you another scene which you call a prison where you lock your
brother up. Here you push a button and he is burned up. Isn't that
hostile?"
