The religion of the Martian may be expressed in two thoughts:
"LOVE" and "THY WILL BE DONE, NOT MINE." The true definition of
Religion is a "RULE OF LIFE," and as our lives are guided
entirely by Love and the Father's Will. WE HAVE A RELIGION.
You, on your Earth, have created a Religion to satisfy your
conventionalities. Truth is simple, but you have made it
intricate. It is free, yet you buy it from the would-be
disciples. Both you and we must approach Him in simple faith:
"Unless ye become as little children ye cannot enter the Kingdom
of Heaven."
Speaking of children, I desire to give expression to a thought
that may appear to be outside the subject: it is this: The beauty
and simplicity of youth is wonderful, and to be admired by all:
but in the sight of the Heavenly Father, and those who have
progressed to higher realms, it is not so wonderful as those
older characters who have waded the marshes of life, as it were,
and who have trod the dirty steps without losing faith.
This is to encourage those who sometimes think when they look
back on their lives that all is dark. Their strength is being
tried in the darkness. Therefore their courage and faith is so
much more.
