ABSTRACT

The authors have been, requested to state their opinion respecting that, at present, to them, mysterious Power, "which directs the atom, and controls the aggregate of nature." But, in the Millennium state, to produce happiness will be the only religion of man; and the worship of God will consist in the practice of useful industry; in the acquisition of knowledge; in uniformly speaking the language of truth; and in the expression of the joyous feelings, which a life in accordance with nature and truth is sure to produce. Thus will a religion be established, which will offend no man, be adopted first by the intelligent and rational of all sects, in all countries, and afterwards by the human race, when it shall become one nation and one people, having one language and one interest, and when Truth, or the knowledge of the Lord, shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.
