In this Holy City, Love reigns supreme. Love for God, and love for man. Love beats in every human heart for one another. Love the motive power back of all work and achievements; Divine love which builds character and develops the soul. A love that transforms the humblest home into a happy one, where children are born and reared in love. Schools are filled with students and scholars seeking from Christian teachers the science of religion - life - and the Christ principle which develops the human family into god-men and women.

Upon this day, the tenth anniversary of the City of Truth, a party of distinguished men, were treading their way through a merry throng, touching shoulders in true democratic fashion, and chatted happily along their tour of inspection.

The group comprised, aside from Adoni Bourdalone, the Governor of the great sovereign state, Bashinar and Vallero. The Governor who had watched the rising of this ideal city since its inception, was intently interested in its progress and prospective achievements. Bashinar, the Oriental teacher had come over the seas to witness the triumph of his pupil, and observe by personal contact the result and the exemplification of lofty ideals, as shown in the life-work of Adoni Bourdalone, and the fruition of his dream by the application of the Christ principles taught in the Oriental retreat.

Clarence Vallero, the awakened, was an earnest worker with Adoni in the community's progress. His vast wealth and zeal had been entirely devoted to the upbuilding of the City of Truth. Inspired by love for Martha Bourdalone, now his adored wife, his life had become of use to his fellow man and Adoni's triumph was, in a measure, part of his own. As the party ascended the broad steps to the building of Moral Science, the Reverend Bourdalone, pointed to an inscription upon a tablet of stone. "This," he said, "is broad enough to become a universal religion, and I feel the time is not far away, when the world will accept it as such."

The amber eyes of the Oriental mystic became thoughtful. "One hardly ventures to conjecture," he returned, hesitatingly - "In view of the startling disclosures which science is continually uncovering, one can scarcely forecast what the future may develop. Your eminent countryman,

Edison, declares to the world that - 'We are now on the verge of discoveries so wonderful and great that they will upset the present trend of human thought, and start it along new lines completely.'"

"Quite true," assented Adoni. "Religion, like everything else is, or should be, subject to change. It is ignorance to say that it is incapable of improvement, growth or progress. The science of religion is ever ready to accept and teach new truths that are daily revealed in the process of the unfoldment. A man can only proclaim what he knows today, but cannot say, that he will believe the same, tomorrow."

When they had entered the dignified building, the Governor glanced about in astonishment. "Why," he exclaimed, "this is more like a classroom than a church."

"It is a classroom," replied Adoni with a smile. "Here we have daily classes in ethics. You will not find in our city any separation of sacred and secular, our homes are as sacred as our temples."

From the temple of Modern Science the group wended their way to the hall of Justice, where Adoni explained, a board of arbitration consisting of men and women elected by the people meet once a week. They have a session to hear and adjust grievances and rarely is it necessary to refer cases to the courts.

"And do you find one hearing a week sufficient to satisfy the demands of justice?" observed the Governor questioningly.

"Thus far it has proven more than sufficient. Our system offers little opportunity for injustice, and commission of misdemeanors and crime, hence there is less need for judicial interference and administering of harsh methods of punishment. Then again our aim is not so much to punish the offender as to compel restitution whenever possible, teach human sympathy, and with divine love, reform and convert the culprit into a christian."

From here the four men made their way to the factory district, located some distance down the river. Over the doors of these buildings of industry were various mottoes and sentiments relating to industry and its fruits. After studying these most thoughtfully, the Governor turned to Adoni with unwonted gravity: "I see that your industrial system, if possible, is even more revolutionary than your religious program. The problem is here confronting the state, the nation, the world, we can't dodge the issue, it must be solved. It is the most imminent, most vital and most difficult thing on the cards. Those who have their ear to the ground have long been aware of it. If it can only be brought about peacefully, but gentlemen, I believe we will witness the greatest war the world has ever seen."

"It may be that you are right," responded Bashinar, thoughtfully. "The situation is becoming daily more serious. But our friend here, who has made a great study of these industrial conditions, is better qualified to answer that question."

Thus appealed to, Vallero, who had been an attentive listener, replied: "No man can predict whether it is to be a battle of ballots or bullets, but whatever the method employed, there is in my opinion, no doubt, as to its final outcome. The triumph of industrial liberty is as sure as the revolutionary force back of it. The present system is top heavy and if left alone will fall of its own weight."

Retracing their steps they came upon a beautiful group of buildings bearing the legend: "Health," "Hygiene," "Healing." Here the most improved methods known to science were employed for prevention of disease.

"I hear, Mr. Bourdalone, that you are as successful in teaching your method of healing as you are in effecting cures," observed the Governor.

"It is quite true - and a source of deep gratification, I assure you. Several students have nearly mastered the science and it is in this field, perhaps more than any other, that we expect the most marvelous discoveries, the greatest revolution. Fifty years from now it will be considered the height of stupidity for a man to go to another to be healed."
