32 January 1981 ‘LAWS OF NATURE”

Based on the Revelations of Maria M. King, 19th Century Medium

When Maria and Andrew King traveled the overland trail to California in 1862, she was a teacher, homemaker and suffragist; he was an attorney and amateur astronomer. By the time they returned to the East several years later, Maria had become an important medium and devoted the remainder of her life to writing and lecturing.

After her death, Andrew King published a condensation of her works in 1911, adding material of his own. LAWS O F N A T U R E has now been reprinted in paperback. As daring and original in its conclusions as it was in 1911, it is even more provocative today, including such topics as:

* how worlds are born * origin of asteroids * present condition of the planets * cause of earthquakes and volcanoes * shifting of the poles * evolution of life * life after death

We believe that the highest morality is contained in the Golden Rule: "Whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you do ye also unto them." 7. We affirm the moral responsibility of the individual, and that he makes his own happiness or unhappiness as he obeys or disobeys Nature's physical and spiritual laws.
