BUT WE WISH particularly to show that so far as the selfish part of humanity is concerned there will be no great change, except to a comparative few who had gotten a glimpse of Christ at His Coming and who deeply regretted having chosen to follow self’s leadings. Such will become the leaders in that realm and will cover inspire their followers to higher ideals. But the great bulk of mankind will soon forget those unusual signs seen in the heavens, few understanding their deep import, and will not even know they are now minus their physical bodies; for their soul bodies will seem to them just as real and substantial—as is the case with many of those who die today when finding themselves in the other world.

In other words, that part of humanity will continue just as it is now, and will work out its destiny, experiencing with the different economic theories and plans now being advanced, exactly the same as if it had remained on earth; and in the course of centuries, through learning that without love and true considera- tion of other’s needs, happiness and continual prosperity are im- possible, will develop a government and a social system that will approximate the one that will actually be in use on the new earth where Christ will be ruling.

In the meantime, on earth, directly after the change, when the confusion, caused by the disappearance of perhaps three fourths of mankind, including many of the dear ones of those that re- main, (for remember Jesus said, “There shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding in the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord cometh.”), has subsided, and the consciousness of those remaining has become adjusted to the perfect harmony and order of the Kingdom, life therein will begin to assume its glorious reality; and the great joy of being always in an atmosphere of loving thoughtfulness and service for others, considering only the good of those around you and ever working for the happiness of all humanity, will be ex- perienced by every soul on earth.

But this being so, and with everyone living in a perfect state on earth even as it formerly was in Heaven, where all that the Father hath is now theirs, and they will no longer have to strive for and earn by the sweat of their faces enough to eat,
