No worries mar the life of the people of Mars. Worry has no
place in the Martian mind. The wants of all are supplied by the
Commonwealth, and each one contributes his best efforts to the
common good, and in return each individual is supplied his every
want. This is in accordance with Christ's message: "Seek ye
first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these
things shall be added unto you."
CHAPTER V.
PROPERTY AND PROPERTY RIGHTS
On Mars all property is considered as belonging to God, its
Creator, who provided it for the enfoldment and comfort of His
creatures. No individual lays claim to property in the sense
that you Earth dwellers do.
Through God's love does man inhabit a portion of the material
universe, but only for a season. Man comes into material being
to express life and acquire an individuality, after which he
passes out of material bondage, when his place is taken by
another.
At man's transition he takes with him only character, nothing
else. If the things he has striven for during his material life
have been but chimeras: the material things of life: the fruits
of the Earth, then in that case he will find himself poor
indeed.
