The Spirit of God as Fire; the Globe Within the Sun Our Heaven
Mortimore, D.
Heaven; Sun
Now it rests with leading spirits and teachers of _every_ Christian
denomination--whether _Protestant_ or _Catholic_--to say whether this
advance shall be made in behalf of _true religion_: the Church of God,
and the salvation of souls, or in the interest of Satan, the opposing
enemy; whether this advance shall be true _Christianity_, or
_Infidelity_; whether the upbuilding of the Kingdom of Christ, and
hastening the time when He shall reign in the hearts of all; or, by
indifference and default, permitting the upbuilding of _Babylon_, and
the reseating of the "SCARLET WOMAN," _and_ thus tenfold intensifying
the great and _final struggle_.
There is a _true philosophy_ in religion, and by instructing the mind
to comprehend this, the final happy results will ensue.
We often hear ministers praying for the time to come "when the world
shall be converted to God; when all shall know Him from the least unto
the greatest." They claim the promise that such a time _will come_,
and yet can but see that wickedness is gaining ground, and that within
their church organizations they do not number _one third of the
population_--even in what are denominated Christian countries, nor do
they keep pace with the increase of population, and yet they seem
contented with their "little flocks."
Ye ministers of the "LIVING GOD," if ye have come to "Mount Zion" by
faith and prayer, and "holy living," we call upon you to unite your
efforts in the spirit of _brotherly love_ and CHRISTIAN UNITY, and
show to a "perishing world" that you are in _earnest_ in your Master's
cause, and that you desire the salvation of the _whole human family_,
else He may say to you, "_I will come quickly, and will remove thy
candlestick out of his place._"

In regard to the theory we have advanced as to the location of Heaven,
we leave you, and all, to examine the revelations of God through the
lights of science; Nature around you, and with _reason_ bearing upon
the fact that God, the Great Jehovah, the Creator of all, though a
_Spirit_, is not a _myth_; and that reality, law, order, and system
universally prevail throughout all His works, and with these He
governs His Universe.
God's own revelations, the lights afforded through the sciences,
Nature around us, true philosophy and reason, all confirm our
hypothesis. Cut loose now from this, and we can anchor nowhere, save
in a blind incomprehensible faith, ever floating and drifting as in a
_sea of ether_, and surrounded by impenetrable _mystery_ and _gloom_.
