90 THE PORTAL OF EVOLUTION 



evolution of agriculture, which call for the laws and protection 

 of property, as private ownership is evolved by agrarian 

 rights. On the Eleventh Day comes the conception of the 

 childhood of Government, and we commence its manhood with 

 the formation of state government. On the Fourteenth Day 

 we have completed the manhood of Government in its mental 

 and physical evolutions, and on the Fifteenth Day we arrive 

 at its final mental result, when we are able to prevent wars, 

 and buy and sell national property as well as private estates 

 under legal courts. Taking its psychological evolution, the 

 conception of which starts with its physical birth on the 

 Eleventh Day, the day it appears in our Table of Marriages, 

 just as Religion did on the Tenth Day. We find its psycho- 

 logical childhood starts on the Fourteenth Day, when man con- 

 quers matter, and will arrive at its manhood on the Seventeenth 

 Day, when he is able to prevent crime. Its manhood be- 

 comes complete on the Twentieth Day, after Religion has 

 converted Earth into Heaven, when the bulk of mankind will 

 be too wise to sin without injury to his neighbour, and perfect 

 joy and pleasure and happiness have been attained by man 

 having learned how to govern, not only the world God has 

 created, but also to govern himself, and to relieve his creator 

 of the trouble of managing the estate of this world. 



Then he will be possessed of Wisdom, but little short 

 of the infinite wisdom of his creator, subject to a fee- 

 simple of veneration and obedience to God, which he is now 

 wise enough to give freely, not given as is that of the animal 

 through inability to obey or from ignorance of right and 

 wrong or how to sin wisely and without offence. So then he 

 will be no longer obliged to pay the wage of death, which is the 

 penalty of his misdirected sin, so at last is not only worthy of 

 Heaven, the final result of religion, but likewise of Immor- 

 tality, the second and final result of the mental, physical and 

 psychological evolution of government. And the earth, having 

 now also completed the object of its creation, will be absolved 

 from final destruction, the end of all planets which cannot 

 produce a perfect man, and God can forevermore rejoice in 

 the perfect crown of creation, the work of His infinitely per- 

 fect Wisdom, and revel in the luxury of a sweetheart who can 

 give him an eternal and perfect love.
