 The Prince of Wales has probably al- 
 rea<ly received my letter of the 20th inst. , 
 but may very naturally have supix)8ed 
 that neither my letter nor the printed 
 papers accompanying; it, called for any 
 serious attention on his part ; conse- 
 
 Tl quently, I consider that I ought to make 
 
 ■ one more attempt to place the matter 
 
 in so clear a light, that it may be plainly 
 seen that the heir to the British throne 
 is the one man who may reasonably be 
 supposed to be more especially interested 
 in such a matter. 
 *>:' The indications of a tremendous revo- 
 
 lution, involving all the nations of 
 Christendom, are quite as plain now, as 
 were the similar indications which pre- 
 ceded the much more limited " French 
 Revolution " about a century ago. 
 Modem progress, modern facilities, and 
 ^ the general diffusion of the '•little 
 knowledge" (which is so proverbially 
 '* a dangerous thing "), have already 
 C placed an overwhelming power in the 
 
 •^ hands of the millions : which power is 
 
 likely to be exercised very effectually, 
 as well as very foolish Iv and disastrous- 
 ly, whenever sufficiently able and am- 
 bitious leaders may hapi>en to appear, 
 "• ®* and be followed by the millions of in- 
 
 tensely discontented and hopeless, as 
 well as by those made desperate on acr- 
 count of prolonged oxjioaure to very 
 great privations. 
 
 My suggestion is that all those who 
 represent the intellectual and moral 
 force of the whole world should combine 
 in good time, and fairly earn the confi- 
 dence and support of the millions of *' all 
 nations,*' that thus "law and order" 
 may be maintained continuously, while 
 full justice will be secured to the indus- 
 trial millions ; every reasonable com- 
 plaint being properly attended to, with- 
 
 '■: i«*- 
 
 ^itmMSimm 
 
d 
 
 out needless delay, and profitable occu- 
 pation abundantly supplied to everyone 
 seeking it in earnest. 
 
 Should the ablest and best in " all 
 nations " be thus induced to combine in 
 good time, they would inevitably soon 
 rule the whole world as naturally and 
 easily as^he head rules the body of a man, 
 or any other animal, and all inferior 
 leadership would be overwhelmed at 
 once. The great body of mankind gen- 
 erally being thenceforth provided with 
 its well- qualified and legitimate head. 
 
 Faithfully yours, 
 
 Henry Wentworth Monk. 
 
 P.S. — ^The Prince of Wales may natur- 
 ally ask what could he possibly do to- 
 wards forming a grand International 
 Association, or organization that would 
 effectually save the world from all need- 
 less loss and suffering during the coming 
 *' tinae of trouble," \<mich now certainly 
 threatens "all nations" throughout 
 Christendom? The reply is obvious 
 enough. Suppose the Prince of Wales 
 should consult with the most prominent 
 as well as the ablest and best men in the 
 British Empire, asking them to agree to 
 sign the ** resolution" published towards 
 the end of the enclosed article, (provid- 
 ing the Queen and himself should head 
 the list of signatures); the very best of 
 such men would doubtless agree at once 
 to do this ; and with such an excellent 
 beginning, a confident appeal might then 
 be made to tlie ablest and best in every 
 portion of the whole British Empire to 
 do likewise. Thus we should certainly 
 secure in one grand association (and its 
 numerous branches), all the foremost of 
 those who represent the intellectual and 
 moral force of the whole British Empire. 
 Every nation in Christendom would 
 doubtless also soon follow so excellent 
 an example. Thus the intellectual and 
 moral force of all Christendom would 
 -very soon be concentrated in one grand 
 
organization, which would soon natural- 
 ly become fully competent to accomplish, 
 its beneficent purposes in the earth. All 
 opposition, to such a '* Supreme Author- 
 ity" as this, being naturally hopeless and 
 ineffectual. 
 
 Timely action on the part of tliose rep- 
 resenting the British throne would of 
 course tend greatly to the future Credit 
 and stability of the British throne artd 
 
 vice l'f?rsa — FOREWARNED, FOREARMED. 
 
 Faithfully yours.

 P.S.— The little pamphlet headed "The 
 People and the Policy," (which I posted 
 to you on the 20th inst. ) points out the 
 destiny of the British race in the near 
 future, and the "folder" headed " Thy 
 Light is Come," will furnish my ere- 
 dentialft to any who read it attentively 
 and intelligently from beginning to end. 
 I am posting you >day also another 
 copy of each of these papers. 
 
 H. W. M. 
 
 Ottawa, Canada, 
 
 25th June, 1894. 
 
 If the Prince of Wales would kjndly 
 contrive to read attentively (from be- 
 ginning to end) the enclosed little pamph- 
 let entitled, "World-Life," he would 
 jprobably perceive that it contains the 
 
 VERY grandest REVELATION EVER YET 
 
 <communicatk:d to any human being ; 
 insomuch that theology may henceforth 
 be placed upon tlie^ satisfactory basis of 
 a science ; instead oS being a mere mat- 
 ter of opinion, creed, or belief, as hither- 
 to; for " World-Life " and the knowledge 
 of the grand principle of "Universal 
 
 lummmmm 
 
Alternation" reveal the exact relation- 
 sliip of our Creator to the human family 
 generally, as well as the manner of the 
 future existence and development of the 
 human mind hereafter, throughout the 
 countless ages of eternity; that conse- 
 quently the whole earth may now very 
 rioon become •' full of the knowledge of 
 the Lord as the waters cover the sea," 
 which was so plainly foretold thousands 
 of years ago. 
 
 By examining this matter carefully 
 himself, and by also taking the requisite 
 means to bring the subject forcibly to 
 the attention of some of the ablest men 
 in the British Empire, that they may be 
 induced to either candidly admit that my 
 statements in reference to " World- Life" 
 and •* Universal Alternation " are doubt- 
 less true and correct, or else attempt to 
 disprove such statements, the Prince of 
 Wales may thus now easily become the 
 means bv which tliis extremely important 
 knowledge and understanding may be 
 spread abroad throughout Christendom 
 and the whole world, for the incalculable 
 benefit of the human family generally, 
 which would of course be much to the 
 future credit and advantage of the heir 
 to the British throne. 
 
 The scientists are correct of course as 
 to THE FACTS of science, nevertheless 
 they are greatly in error as regards the 
 natural prejudices of scientists ; and 
 as both "World-Life" and "Universal 
 Alternation" happen to be subversive of 
 the natural prejudices of the scien- 
 tists, they are extremely averse to ad- 
 mit the truth and correctness of my 
 statements, though they cannot by any 
 means disprove them ; as the ablest of 
 them will doubtless admit readily 
 enough. It is for this reason that the 
 influence i f the Prince of Wales, and 
 other prominent and impartial men, 
 might now be invaluable in compelling 
 the scientists to either admit that 
 ** World-Life " and •* Universal Alterna- 
 
•6 
 
 tion " are very great and extremely iiU' 
 portant truths, or else attempt to prove 
 the contrary, if they can. 
 
 Faithfully yours, 
 
 liENRY WeNTWORTH MoNK. 
 
 P. 8. —I enclose also printed copy of the 
 Duke of Argyll's last letter to nie, with 
 my reply, that you may perceive that 
 even on a political question I am at 
 least probably correct, though the Duke 
 may easily appear to be sufficiently so 
 also, to anyone looking at the matter 
 superficially. As to my "physical theo- 
 ries," such as •' World- Life " and ** Uni- 
 versal Alternation, ' the Duke of Argyll 
 plainly declares (in a letter to my old 
 friend W . Holman Hunt) that he ' 'can- 
 not judge," yet he doesn't hesitate to 
 judge, and judges extremely well also, 
 of Professor Huxley's ''physical theo- 
 ries," as is manifested in the Duke's 
 article in the " Nineteenth Century'* a 
 few years ago. 
 
 The fact is, I happen to be the one 
 man who could be of the greatest possible 
 use and advantage to the w^hole world 
 generally, in the immediale future ; pro- 
 viding only that I am fairly recognized 
 and utilized, instead of being utterly 
 ignored, as hitherto ; therefore I now 
 very naturally look to the heir to the 
 British throne for some degree of recog- 
 nition, as any such recognition on his 
 part NOW would certainly redound to 
 his own advantage hereafter, as much 
 as it might be for my benefit, or for that 
 of others generally, at tlie present time. 
 
 Faithfully yours. 
 
 Henry Wentworth Monk. 
 
 Ottawa, Canada, 
 
 5th July, 1894. 
 
 The Prince of Wales needs only to sub- 
 mit the enclosed pi in ted papers to the 
 ablest men of his acquaintance in Eng- 
 land, requesting them|,to kindly attempt 
 
to «bD% wherein they are not absolutely 
 true and correct, (or point out some 
 other interpretation which can possibly 
 com|>ar^ favourably with mine), to con- 
 vince himself, and probably many others 
 also, of the accuracv of my very clear 
 explanation of what happens to be really 
 the most important matter at the present 
 time, in view of the impending 'trouble*' 
 now threatening the most advanced na- 
 tions of the world. Of course I can easily 
 interpret the whole of *• The Revelation" 
 whenever that may be required, for I 
 have understood it all thoroughly myself 
 for more than forty years already. 
 Should the heir to the British throne 
 now take this very favourable opportu- 
 nity to do his part towards causing many 
 to now begin to understand clearly **The 
 Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God 
 gave unto him, to show unto his servants 
 things which must shortly come to pass," 
 :and to understand clearly also theology 
 AS A SCIENCE ; as manifested in my for- 
 mer paper entitled, "World- Life" (posted 
 to the rrince of Wales about ten days 
 ago), he will thus do what will certainly 
 be greatly to his credit and advantage 
 HEREAFTER. It surely would not be 
 •creditable for the probable future Sov- 
 •ereign of the British Empire to now 
 prove himself less worthy and magnani- 
 mous than Nebuchadnezzar, the despotic 
 iSovereign of Ancient Babylon, who, by 
 ttesting and recognizing the prophet 
 Daniel, caused the Babylonish Empire 
 to obtain the advantage of his extraordi- 
 nary understanding and ability. Neither 
 would it be creditable for the probable 
 future Sovereign of the foremost Empire 
 •of the present day, to prove himself less 
 worthy or less wise than the Egyptian 
 Monarch Pharoah,iwho by his timely 
 recognition of the patriarch Joseph, 
 gave him the opportunity to save Egypt, 
 or the civilized world of that time, from 
 the destruction which then impended. 
 Therefore, let the Prince of Wales now

 "pToTe li'iB worthinoMs to occupy his prob- 
 able future exalted poeition, by now 
 promptly doing what he can to fairly 
 test my claim to an understandinc^ and 
 comprehension far in ^ advance of any 
 other man of the present day ; even as 
 the understanding and comprehension 
 of the prophet Daniel and the patriarch 
 Joseph were far beyond that of their 
 fellow men in their day.

 To The Earl of Aberdeen, Oov.-Oen. of Canada: 
 
 The enclosed letter and printed papers 
 are precisely similar to those posted to 
 the Prince of Wales yesterday. 
 
 I thought it only fair that the present 
 Governor-General of Canada should have 
 the 'same opportunity as the probable 
 future British Sovereign, to acquire in 
 good time the certain information which 
 I happen to know to be absolutely the 
 most important possible for the foremost 
 men of our remarkably progressive gen- 
 eration. 
 
 The Earl of Aberdeen, being doubtless 
 well acquainted with the words of the 
 Bible, could scarcely fail to haVe noticed 
 that '* he who readeth, and they who 
 hear *' (understandingly, of course,) the 
 words of the prophecy of * ' The Revela- 
 tion," are both emphatically declared to 
 be " blessed." Why, therefore, should 
 not the Earl of Aberdeen be among the 
 first to inherit this emphatic blessing ? 
 for he probably may now very easily and 
 quickly learn enough to qualify himself 
 to do so, simply by reading the enclosed 
 printed papers attentively from Be 
 aiNNiNa to end. 
 
 Faithfully yours, 
 
 Henry Wentworth Monk«
