A Romance of Two Worlds

CHAPTER XIV
21/25

Were I called upon to select among the churches, I should choose that which has most electricity working within it, and which is able to believe in a positive electrical communication between Christ and herself taking place daily on her altars--a Church which holds, as it were, the other end of the telegraphic ray between Earth and the Central Sphere, and which is, therefore, able to exist among the storms of modern opinions, affording refuge and consolation to the few determined travellers who are bound onward and upward.

I shall not name the Church I mean, because it is the duty of everyone to examine and find it out for himself or herself.

And even though this Church instinctively works in the right direction, it is full of errors introduced by ignorant and unworthy members--errors which must be carefully examined and cast aside by degrees.

But, as I said before, it is the only Church which has Principles of Electricity within it, and is therefore destined to live, because electricity is life.
"Now I beseech the reader of this manuscript to which I, Heliobas, append my hand and seal, to remember and realize earnestly the following invincible facts: first that God and His Christ EXIST; secondly, that while the little paltry affairs of our temporal state are being built up as crazily as a child's house of cards, the huge Central Sphere revolves, and the Electric Ring, strong and indestructible, is ever at its work of production and re-absorption; thirdly, that every thought and word of EVERY HABITANT ON EVERY PLANET is reflected in lightning language before the Creator's eyes as easily as we receive telegrams; fourthly, that this world is THE ONLY SPOT IN THE UNIVERSE where His existence is actually questioned and doubted.
And the general spread of modern positivism, materialism and atheism is one of the most terrific and meaning signs of the times.

The work of separating the wheat from the chaff is beginning.
