4th. PRINCIPAL AND LEADING DARK
NESS, from an ignorance of the relation which ex-
ists between Man God and the Universe


The three first characters are easily understood; /;
tue latter requires some explanation. [, il sery
certain that Man is ignorant Of the Destiny as
signed TO him by God upon this earth, and of the
spheres to which he goes after death and the iu-
ture function there reserved him. The proof of
this is that the most contradictory theories exist
upon the subject.


As regards Mans terrestrial Destiny he was
placed upon The Garth AS its OvERsEER--to su-
pervse it and the creations upon it, to cultivate.
embelIish and perfect it in every way, to dcvelope
les varied material resources and harmonies, and
make it beautiful terrestrial abode and the scene
of high spiritual development and existence.


If Man does not fulfil his Destiny OvgRsEER
of the Globe he IS not in material Unity with God;
to arrive at state of atone ment with Him. he must
discover his Destiny and organize Society which
will enable him to fulfil it. He now neither knows
his Destiny, nor does he perform it; he consequently
is in darkness regards his relation to the planet,
which is a part of the Universe, and to God
aies to the terrestrial function which his Creator
requires of him.
