PLANETARY ECONOMY
Economy is a virtue long cultivated on the Planet Mars.On your Earth you waste more than you use, not only in food but in the fruits of the Earth.You are using up your resources at a tremendous rate, and some day you must pay the penalty.Witness the wanton destruction of your beautiful forests, the depletion of your coal beds and crude oil deposits.All this waste is the result of lack of Spiritual guidance; a gross materialism: an inordinate selfish greed.Instead of laying up Spiritual treasures you are worshiping at the altar of Mamon.Ultimately you will find your hoardings nothing but tarnished brass--an illusion leading you on to Spiritual destruction.
With the Martians the incentive to live is to express life and be in harmony with the Creator, to develop spiritually and build for Eternity.On Mars each one strives to live for his brother to the end that all may inherit the promised Kingdom when yet as a physical being.Commercialism with us is unknown, for no one works for profit.The products of the toil of all the inhabitants are for the public larder and other necessities and even luxuries.
As a result of this system of public economy and industrialism, sweat- shops, child labor, poor houses, public reformatories, and the long list of pernicious and iniquitous customs in vogue on your Earth are unknown on our planet.
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."
