“A modern university feels pride in graduating its students. The higher they go in life the more credit to the university or the grammar school. In turn, the graduates give to the university and the school what they find in their forward trailblazing. “On the other hand, churches have become mere cults, holding in psychic and spiritual bondage those whom they should be helping and enlightening. It is the churches that must become as free as the sciences, or they will disappear. A church should teach its congregation and then graduate it, to try other churches. If they fear to do this, and on earth they all do, then they have no faith in themselves. A modern priest or minister should also be a scientist. If he cannot see God in any manifestation of matter, then he is not fit to minister to the souls of others.” “But, Saturn,” Adam broke in again, “there are ministers and priests on earth who have pondered on these things called ‘flying saucers, and they are truly consulting their consciences as to whether or not they should speak of them from the pulpits. That they are helpless is no fault of theirs. Science has merely stepped ahead of them.” “Ah, Adam, just what I told you! Why should science have stepped ahead of them? How can they teach of God when they do not even understand God’s lesser doings? The Scriptures of every major religion on earth are filled with such manifestations, and form the basis of religion. But the modern clergyman says these are miracles of the past and occur no more today. Yet they occur more today than in the past. As they know so little of science, so little do they know also of God and His Infinity. The churches swelled in membership soon after the atomic bomb, and they were swelled even more by the advent of the ‘flying saucers,’ as you call them. But it is a false swelling, and it will deflate faster than it swelled. All things swell before they burst. True growth and evolution is slow and solid. They shall all topple into the dust, leaving only the foundations which were built upon the rock, not the sand, and from these small stumps shall rise your new 161 ADAM LEARNS ETERNITY
