 ceived, freely give. JESUS

PREFACE. 
 
 My purpose in writing this book is to present a 
 truth, which if accepted by you who may read, will 
 cause you to stop and think, as it has me. Knowing 
 that if you do, the seed of truth will be so grounded 
 into you in reality, that health, harmony, joy, peace 
 and God's loving thoughts will take possession of the 
 so-called carnal mind, and eradicate from it all 
 thoughts of sin, sickness, and death, and all evil. 
 And when this mind is so corrected, freed from evil 
 thinking, what will be left? Nothing but the mind 
 of Divine Love, God, to rule and govern us. 
 
 PSALM 32 8-11. 
 
 8. I will instruct thee, and teach thee in the way 
 which thou shalt go; I will guide thee with mine eye. 
 
 9. Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule which 
 have no understanding; whose mouth must be held 
 in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee. 
 
 10. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; but he 
 that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him 
 about. 
 
 11. Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice ye righteous; 
 and about for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. 
 
 PSALM 46 10. 
 
 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be ex- 
 alted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the 
 earth. 
 
 PSALM 111. 
 
 JO. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wis- 
 dom: a good understanding have all they that do his 
 commandments; his praise endureth for ever. 
 
 PSALM 119. 
 
 27. Make me to understand the way of thy pre- 
 cepts; so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

MAN'S OBEDIENCE TO 'THEi GOLDE&i 
 
 1. And God spake all these words, saying: 
 
 2. I am the Lord thy God which hath brought 
 thee out of the land of Egypt; out of the house of 
 bondage. 
 
 3. Thou shalt have no other Gods before me and 
 the explanation of this is, the mortal man has been 
 sojourning in the land of Egypt, the land of mortal 
 belief, and is still in bondage to the fleshly mind. 
 
 4. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven im- 
 age or any likeness of anything that is in the heaven 
 above, or that is in the earth beneath or that is in 
 the water under the earth. 
 
 SP. EXP. The mortal man must not entertain any 
 thought of life in matter or any thought contrary to 
 life in Spirit. 
 
 5. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor 
 serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous 
 God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the 
 children unto the third and fourth generation of 
 them that hate me; 
 
 SP. EXP. We must not bow down to the errors of 
 mortal man, or cling to life in matter, but know that 
 all is mind and that mind is God and man His image. 
 This image is not found in the so-called fleshly man. 
 
 6. And shewing mercy unto thousands of them 
 that love me and keep my commandments. 
 
 SP. EXP. The truth is ever merciful unto those 
 who love and obey it. Does the so-called mortal man 
 obey God? No it is the spiritual man who is 
 OBEDIENT TO GOD'S COMMANDS. 
 
 7. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy 
 
God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guilt- 
 less that taketh His name in vain. 
 
 SP. EXP. The spiritual man cannot take God's 
 name in vain. God's word says, you cannot take 
 Jrvm nor add to what God has done. I know that 
 whatsoever God doeth it shall be forever. 
 
 8. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 
 SP. EXP. We are NOW resting in the Sabbath if 
 
 we keep the commandments. We are now resting in 
 God if we love our neighbors as ourselves. 
 
 9. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy 
 work; 
 
 SP. EXP. God ended His work in six days, and 
 as we are His image and likeness, we must do like- 
 wise, and then we may expect an eternal Sabbath of 
 rest. 
 
 10. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the 
 Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, 
 nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor 
 thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that 
 is within thy gates: 
 
 SP. EXP. When man knows he is resting in 
 SPIRIT, not in matter he is one with the Father, 
 keeping the Sabbath day. 
 
 11. For in six days, the Lord made heaven and 
 earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the 
 seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath 
 day, and hallowed it. 
 
 SP. EX. Man being the image and likeness of 
 God, (if his true image) he will rest with the Father 
 in mind, the fleshly man not being GocFs child. 
 
 12. Honour thy father and thy mother; that thy 
 days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy 
 God giveth thee. 
 
 SP. EXP. Be faithful to the Truth and we honor 
 10 
 
God. Deny all claims of evil and affirm the Truth. 
 
 13. Thou shall not kill. 
 
 SP. EXP. God is our life and man cannot kill life, 
 God. 
 
 14. Thou shall nol commil adultery. 
 
 SP. EXP. We must not adulterate the Truth, en- 
 tertain evil thoughts, which God did not create. 
 
 15. Thou shall nol steal. 
 
 SP. EXP. When this so-called mortal man knows 
 he is God's child spiritually, not in or of the flesh, 
 he will know there is nothing to steal as God is All 
 in All. 
 
 16. Thou shall nol bear false wilness againsl ihy 
 neighbor. 
 
 SP. EXP. The spiritual man of God cannot sin, 
 neither can he bear false witness against his neigh- 
 bor, so we must see our neighbor as spiritual and not 
 material. 
 
 17. Thou shall nol covel ihy neighbour's house, 
 ihou shall nol covel ihy neighbour's wife, nor his 
 manservanl, nor his maidservanl, nor his ox, nor his 
 ass, nor anylhing lhal is ihy neighbour's. 
 
 SP. EXP. As God 9 s man is spiritual he cannot 
 covet Paul says: "They which are the children of 
 the flesh are not the children of God?'; therefore 
 there is nothing to covet. 
 
 11 
 
THE BEATITUDES. 
 
 1. And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a 
 mountain; and when he was set, his disciples came 
 unto him: 
 
 And he opened his mouth, and taught them saying, 
 Blessed are the poor in spirit; for their's is the 
 kingdom of heaven. 
 
 SP. EXP. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. 
 Arise then, and think with God. For those who 
 earnestly desire this spiritual understanding and are 
 willing to obey the commands of Truth, will find the 
 kingdom of heaven within them. 
 
 Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall he com- 
 forted. 
 
 SP. EXP. Blessed are they who earnestly desire 
 the Truth. "Seek and ye shall find, knock and it 
 shall be opened unto you." 
 
 Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the 
 earth. 
 
 SP. EXP. Blessed are they who are obedient to 
 the laws of Divine love; for through their meekness, 
 they shall inherit the kingdom of God. 
 
 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after 
 righteousness; for they shall be filled. 
 
 SP. EXP. By faith in God based upon the under- 
 standing and realization of His Infinite love, our hun- 
 ger and thirst will be gratified to the utmost. 
 
 Blessed are the merciful; for they shall obtain 
 mercy. 
 
 SP. EXP. Blessed are they who know good only 9 
 for God is good. 
 
 12 
 
Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see 
 God. 
 
 SP. EXP. We must be pure in thought to see God 
 in His purity. Do we find the thoughts of the mortal 
 man pure? No. Then the mortal thoughts must be 
 corrected. 
 
 Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be 
 called the children of God. 
 
 SP. EXP. Blessed are they who are so pure in 
 thought they impart it to others then we are peace- 
 makers. 
 
 Blessed are they which are persecuted for right- 
 eousness' sake; for their's is the kingdom of heaven. 
 
 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and 
 persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil 
 against you falsely for my sake. 
 
 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad; for great is your 
 reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the 
 prophets which were before you. 
 
 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have 
 lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is 
 thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and 
 to be trodden under foot of men. 
 
 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set 
 on an hill cannot be hid. 
 
 SP. EXP. Read the 11, 12-13-14 verses of the 5th 
 chapter of Matthew.

HEALING ACCORDING TO CHRIST 
 JESUS' TEACHINGS. 
 
 Gen. 1. 
 
 In the beginning God created the heaven and the 
 earth. God's creation is spiritual and not material. 
 God's spiritual creation is found complete in the first 
 chapter of Genesis, including the first three verses of 
 the second chapter. While there seems to be a 
 second creation, it cannot be a truth if God's creation 
 is finished in the first chapter. Which are we to ac- 
 cept as Truth, the primary or secondary? Can both 
 be true when there is but one God or creative power? 
 The second chapter of Genesis God created man male 
 and female in His own image and likeness. God be- 
 ing Spirit or Mind, man must be spiritual, and the 
 spiritual man is the reflection of God. How can the 
 so called mortal man be the reflection of God, believ- 
 ing he has the elements of death in him, when God 
 and God's idea express eternity? Death being the 
 extinction of life. 
 
 Acts 4:810 to 22nd. 
 
 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto 
 them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Irsael, 
 
 If we this day be examined of the good deed done 
 to the impotent man, by what means he is made 
 whole ; 
 
 Be it known unto you all and to all the people of 
 Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, 
 whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, 
 even by him doth this man stand here before you 
 whole. 
 
 This is the stone which was set at nought of your 
 builders, which is become the head of the corner. 
 
 14 
 
Neither is there salvation in any other; for there 
 is none other name under heaven given among men, 
 whereby we must be saved. 
 
 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and 
 John, and perceived that they were unlearned and 
 ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowl- 
 edge of them, that they had been with Jesus. 
 
 And beholding the man which was healed standing 
 with them, they could say nothing against it. 
 
 But when they had commanded them to go aside 
 out of the council, they conferred among themselves, 
 
 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that 
 indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is 
 manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and 
 we cannot deny it. 
 
 But that it spread no further among the people, 
 let us straitly threaten them, that they speak hence- 
 forth to no man in this name. 
 
 And they called them and commanded them not 
 to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 
 
 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, 
 Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken 
 unto you more than unto God, judge ye. 
 
 For we cannot but speak the things which we have 
 seen and heard. 
 
 So when they had further threatened them, they 
 let them go, finding nothing how they might punish 
 them, because of the people; for all men glorified 
 God for that which was done. 
 
 For the man was above forty years old on whom 
 this miracle of healing was shewed. 
 
 ACTS 5, 12-16. 
 
 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs 
 and wonders wrought among the people; (and they 
 were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. 
 
 15 
 
And of the rest durst no man join himself to them; 
 but the people magnified them. 
 
 And believers were the more added to the Lord, 
 multitudes both of men and women). 
 
 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the 
 streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at 
 the least the shadow of Peter passing by might over- 
 shadow some of them. 
 
 There came also a multitude out of the cities round 
 about unto Jerusalem, bring sick folks, and them 
 which were vexed with unclean spirits : and they were 
 healed every one. 
 
 ACTS 6, 8. 
 
 And Stephen full of faith and power, did great 
 wonders and miracles among the people. 
 
 ACTS 8, 7. 
 
 For unclean spirits crying with loud voice, came 
 out of many that were possessed with them, and 
 many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were 
 healed. 
 
 ACTS 9, 16 to 18. 
 
 For I will shew him how great things he must suf- 
 fer for my name's sake. 
 
 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the 
 house, and putting his hands on him, said, Brother 
 Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee 
 in the way as thou earnest, hath sent me, that thou 
 mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the 
 Holy Ghost. 
 
 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had 
 been scales; and he received sight forthwith, and 
 arose and was baptized. 
 
 LUKE 8, 41-44. 
 
 And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and 
 
 16 
 
he was a ruler of the synagogue; and he fell down at 
 Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come 
 into his house; 
 
 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years 
 of age, and she lay dying. But as he went the 
 people thronged him. 
 
 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve 
 years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, 
 neither could be healed of any, came behind him and 
 touched the border of his garment; and immediately 
 her issue of blood staunched. 
 
 LUKE 10, 1-4. 
 
 After these things the Lord appointed other sev- 
 enty also, and sent them two and two before his face 
 into every city and place, whither he himself would 
 come. 
 
 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is 
 great, but the labourers are few; pray ye therefore 
 the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth 
 labourers into his harvest. 
 
 Go your ways; behold I send you forth as lambs 
 among wolves, 
 
 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes; and sa- 
 lute no man by the way. 
 
 JOHN 14, 12. 
 
 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on 
 me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater 
 works than these shall he do; because I go unto my 
 Father. 
 
 JOHN 15, 1-23. (Look up and read.) 
 
 ACTS 3, 1-12. 
 
 1. Now Peter and John went up together into the 
 temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 
 
 2. And a certain man, lame from his mother's 
 
 17 
 
womb, was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate 
 of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms 
 of them that entered into. 
 
 3. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted 
 him up; and immediately his feet and ankle bones 
 received strength. 
 
 8. And he leaping up, stood, and walked, and en- 
 tered with them into the temple, walking, and leap- 
 ing, and praising God. 
 
 9. And all the people saw him walking and prais- 
 ing God; 
 
 10. And they knew that it was he which sat for 
 alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple; and they 
 were filled with wonder and amazement at that which 
 had happened unto him. 
 
 11. And, as the lame man which was healed held 
 Peter and John, all the people ran together unto 
 them, in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly 
 wondering. 
 
 12. And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the 
 people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or 
 why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own 
 power or holiness, we had made this man to walk? 
 
 MATTHEW 9. 
 
 1. And he entered into a ship, and passed over, 
 and came into his own city. 
 
 2. And, behold, they brought to him a man sick 
 of the palsy, lying on a bed; and Jesus seeing their 
 faith, said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good 
 cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. 
 
 3. And, behold, certain of the scribes said within 
 themselves, This man blasphemeth. 
 
 4. And Jesus knowing their thoughts, said, Where- 
 fore think ye evil in your hearts? 
 
 18 
 
5. For whether is it easier, to say, Thy sins be for- 
 given thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? 
 
 6. But that ye may know that the Son of man 
 hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to 
 the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go 
 unto thine house. 
 
 7. And he arose, and departed to his house. 
 
 8. But when the multitude saw it, they marvelled, 
 and glorified God, which had given such power unto 
 men. 
 
 9. And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw 
 a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of cus- 
 tom; and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he 
 arose, and followed him. 
 
 10. And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in 
 the house, behold, many publicans, and sinners came 
 and sat down with him and his disciples. 
 
 11. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto 
 his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans 
 and sinners? 
 
 12. But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, 
 They that be whole need not a physician, but they 
 that are sick. 
 
 13. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will 
 have mercy, and not sacrifice; for I am not come to 
 call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 
 
 14. Then came to him the disciples of John, say- 
 ing, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy 
 disciples fast not? 
 
 15. And Jesus said unto them, Can the children 
 of the Bridechamber mourn, as long as the bride- 
 groom is with them? but the days will come, when 
 the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then 
 shall they fast. 
 
 16. No man putteth a new piece of cloth into an 
 
 19 
 
old garment; for that which is put in to fill up taketh 
 from the garment, and the rent is made worse. 
 
 17. Neither do men put new wine into old bottles, 
 else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and 
 the bottles perish; but they put new wine into new 
 bottles, and both are preserved. 
 
 18. While he spake these things unto them, be- 
 hold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped 
 him, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but 
 come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. 
 
 19. And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so 
 did his disciples. 
 
 20. And, behold, a woman, which was diseased 
 with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him 
 and touched the hem of his garment; 
 
 21. For she said within herself, If I may but 
 touch his garment, I shall be whole. 
 
 22. But Jesus turned him about; and when he saw 
 her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith 
 hath made thee whole. And the woman was made 
 whole from that hour. 
 
 23. And when Jesus came into the Ruler's house, 
 and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, 
 
 24. He said unto them, Give place; for the maid 
 is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to 
 scorn. 
 
 25. But when the people were put forth, he went 
 in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. 
 
 26. And the fame thereof went abroad into all 
 that land. 
 
 27. And when Jesus departed thence, two blind 
 men followed him, crying and saying, Thou son of 
 David, have mercy on us. 
 
 28. And when he was come into the house, the 
 blind men came to him; and Jesus saith unto them, 
 
 20 
 
Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto 
 him, Yea, Lord. 
 
 29. Then touched he their eyes, saying, Accord- 
 ing to your faith be it unto you. 
 
 30. And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly 
 charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 
 
 31. But they, when they were departed, spread 
 abroad his fame in all that country. 
 
 32. As they went out, behold, they brought to him 
 a dumb man possessed with a devil. 
 
 33. And when the devil was cast out, the dumb 
 spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was 
 never so seen in Israel. 
 
 34. But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils 
 through the prince of the devils. 
 
 35. And Jesus went about all the cities, and vil- 
 lages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the 
 gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and 
 every disease among the people. 
 
 36. But when he saw the multitudes, he was 
 moved with compassion on them, because they 
 fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having 
 no shepherd. 
 
 37. Then saith He unto His disciples, The harvest 
 truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few. 
 
 38. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, 
 that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. 
 
 MATTHEW 10. 
 
 1. And when he had called unto him his twelve 
 disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, 
 to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness 
 and all manner of disease. 
 
 2. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these : 
 the first, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his 
 brother; James, the son of Zebedee, and John his 
 brother; 
 
 21 
 
3. Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Mat- 
 thew the publican; James, the son of Alphaeus, and 
 Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; 
 
 4. Simon the Cannanite. and Judas Iscariot, who 
 also betrayed him. 
 
 5. These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded 
 them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, 
 and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not; 
 
 6. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of 
 Israel. 
 
 7. And, as ye go, preach, saying, The Kingdom of 
 heaven is at hand. 
 
 8. Heal the sick ,cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, 
 cast out devils; freely ye have received, freely give. 
 
 9. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass, in 
 your purses; 
 
 10. Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, 
 neither shoes; nor yet staves; for the workman is 
 worthy of his meat. 
 
 11. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall 
 enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide 
 till ye go thence. 
 
 12. When ye come into an house, salute it. 
 
 13. And if the house be worthy, let your peace 
 come upon it. 
 
 22 
 
UNDERSTANDING. 
 
 To understand God is to know God is All in All, 
 and the creator of the spiritual man, not the man 
 of the flesh, as the scripture declares the man of the 
 flesh is not God's child. Now read the following 
 scriptural references in connection with the Bible: 
 Proverbs Chapter 3: 
 
 1. My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart 
 keep my commandments: 
 
 2. For length of days, and long life, and peace, 
 shall they add to thee. 
 
 3. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee; bind 
 them about thy neck; write them upon the table of 
 thine heart; 
 
 4. So shalt thou find favour and good understand- 
 ing in the sight of God and man. 
 
 5. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and 
 lean not unto thine own understanding. 
 
 6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall 
 direct thy paths. 
 
 7. Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the Lord, 
 and depart from evil. 
 
 8. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to 
 thy bones. 
 
 9. HONOR the LORD with thy substance, and 
 with the firstfruits of all thine increase; 
 
 10. So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and 
 thy presses shall burst out with new wine. 
 
 11. My son, despise not the chastening of the 
 Lord; neither be weary of his correction; 
 
 12. For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth, even 
 as a father the son in whom he delighteth. 
 
 23 
 
13. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and 
 the man that getteth understanding. 
 
 147 For the merchandise of it is better than the 
 merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine 
 gold. " 
 
 -15. She is more precious than rubies; and all the 
 .things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto 
 her. 
 
 16. Length of days is in her right hand; and in 
 her left hand riches and honour. 
 
 17. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her 
 paths are peace. 
 
 18. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon 
 her; and happy is every one that retaineth her. 
 
 19. The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; 
 by understanding hath he established the heavens. 
 
 20. By his knowledge the depths are broken up, 
 and the clouds drop down the dew. 
 
 PROVERBS CHAPTER 4: 
 
 1. Hear, ye children, the instructions of a father, 
 and attend to know understanding. 
 
 2. For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my 
 law. 
 
 3. For I was my father's son, tender and only be- 
 loved in the sight of my mother. 
 
 5. Get wisdom, get understanding; forget it not; 
 neither decline from the words of my mouth. 
 
 6. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee; 
 love her, and she shall keep thee. 
 
 7. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get 
 wisdom; and with all thy getting get understanding. 
 
 8. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee ; she shall 
 bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. 
 
 9. She shall give to thine head an ornament of 
 grace; a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. 
 
 24 
 
10. Hear, my son, and receive my sayings; and 
 the years of thy life shall be many. 
 
 11. I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I 
 have led thee in right paths. 
 
 12. When thou goest, thy steps shall not be 
 straitened, and when thou runnest, thou shall not 
 stumble. 
 
 13. Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go; 
 keep her, for she is thy life. 
 
 14. Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go 
 not in the way of evil men. 
 
 15. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass 
 away. 
 
 16. For they sleep not, except they have done 
 mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they 
 cause some to fall. 
 
 17. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and 
 drink the wine of violence. 
 
 18. But the path of the just is as the shining light, 
 that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. 
 
 19. The way of the wicked is as darkness; they 
 know not at what they stumble. 
 
 20. My son, attend to my word; incline thine ear 
 unto my sayings; 
 
 21. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep 
 them in the midst of thine heart; 
 
 22. For they are life unto those that find them, 
 and health to all their flesh. 
 
 23. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it 
 are the issues of life. 
 
 24. Put away from thee a froward mouth, and 
 perverse lips put far from thee. 
 
 25. Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eye- 
 lids look straight before thee. 
 
 25 
 
26. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy 
 ways be established. 
 
 27. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left; 
 remove thy foot from evil. 
 
 PROV. 1st. 
 
 2. To know wisdom and understand instruction; 
 to perceive the words of understanding. 
 
 3. To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, 
 and judgment and equity. 
 
 4. To give subtility to the simple, to the young 
 man knowledge and discretion. 
 
 5. A wise man will hear, and will increase learn- 
 ing; and a man of understanding shall attain unto 
 wise counsels; 
 
 6. To understand a proverb, and the interpreta- 
 tion; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. 
 
 33. But whoso harkeneth unto me shall dwell 
 safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. 
 
 SP. EXP. Death is but a belief, true to the mortal 
 so called man, untrue to God. God is our life and He 
 is eternal. Eternity cannot end in death; the extinc- 
 tion of life; so God's man cannot die. God never 
 created man to be sick or die, but to live. Life is 
 eternal. 
 
GOD IS OUR SUPPLY. 
 
 DEUT. 28 1-4. 
 
 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt harken dili- 
 gently unto the voice of the Lord, thy God, to observe 
 and to do all His commandments which I command 
 thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on 
 high above all nations of the earth; 
 
 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and 
 overtake thee, if thou shall hearken unto the voice 
 of the Lord thy God. 
 
 Blessed shalt thou be in the city and blessed shalt 
 thou be in the field. 
 
 Blessed shalt be the fruit of thy body, and the 
 fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the 
 increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 
 
 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. 
 
 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and 
 blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 
 
 The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in 
 thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine 
 hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which 
 the Lord thy God giveth thee. 
 
 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto 
 himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt 
 keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and 
 walk in his ways. 
 
 And all people of the earth shall see that thou 
 art called by the name of the Lord. 
 
 And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, 
 in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy 
 cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land 
 which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 
 
 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, 
 27 
 
the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his sea- 
 son, and to bless all the work of thine hand; and 
 thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shall 
 not borrow. 
 
 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not 
 the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt 
 not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the com- 
 mandments of the Lord thy God, which I command 
 thee this day, to observe and to do them; 
 
 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words 
 which I command thee this day, to the right hand, 
 or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

NO EVIL TO BE FEARED FOR GOD 
 IS ALL. 
 
 PSALM 18. 
 
 48. He delivereth me from mine enemies; yea, 
 thou 1 if test me up above those that rise up against 
 me; thou hast delivered me from the violent man. 
 
 PSALM 23. 
 
 1. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 
 
 2. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; 
 He leadeth me beside the still waters. 
 
 3. He restoreth my soul He leadeth me in the 
 paths of righteousness for His name's sake. 
 
 4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the 
 shadow of death. I will fear no evil; for thou art 
 with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. 
 
 5. Thou prepares! a table before me in the pres- 
 ence of mine enemies ; Thou annointest my head with 
 oil; my cup runneth over. 
 
 6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all 
 the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of 
 the Lord forever. 
 
 PSALM 27. 
 
 1. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom 
 shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of 
 whom shall I be afraid? 
 
 2. When the wicked, even mine enemies and my 
 foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled 
 and fell. 
 
 3. Though an host should encamp against me, my 
 heart shall not fear; though war should arise 
 against me in this will I be confident. 
 
4. One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will 
 I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the 
 Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty 
 of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple. 
 
 5. For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in 
 His pavilion; in the secret of His tabernacle shall He 
 hide me; He shall set me up upon a rock. 
 
 6. And now shall mine head be lifted up above 
 mine enemies round about me; therefore will I offer 
 in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I 
 will sing praises unto the Lord. 
 
 PSALM 37. 
 
 39. But the salvation of the righteous is of the 
 Lord, He is their strength in the time of trouble. 
 
 40. And the Lord shall help them, and deliver 
 them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, and 
 save them, because they trust in Him. 
 
 JUDGE NOT. 
 
 MATTHEW 7. 
 
 1. Judge not, that ye be not judged. 
 
 2. For with what judgment ye shall judge, ye 
 shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it 
 shall be measured to you again. 
 
 3. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in 
 thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that 
 is in thine own eye? 
 
 4. Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me 
 pull out the mote out of thine eye, and, behold, a 
 beam is in thine own eye? 
 
 30 
 
LOVE. 
 
 1 JOHN 4, 1 to 21. 
 
 1. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the 
 spirits whether they are of God; because many false 
 prophets are gone out into the world. 
 
 2. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God; Every spirit 
 that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, 
 is of God; 
 
 3. And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus 
 Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God; and this 
 is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that 
 it should come; and even now already is it in the 
 world. 
 
 4. Ye are of God, little children, and have over- 
 come them ; because greater is He that is in you, than 
 he that is in the world. 
 
 5. They are of the world; therefore speak they 
 of the world, and the world heareth them. 
 
 6. We are of God: he that kiioweth God, heareth 
 us; he that is not of God, heareth not us. Hereby 
 know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 
 
 7. Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of 
 God; and every one that loveth, is born of God, and 
 knoweth God. 
 
 8. He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God 
 is love. 
 
 9. In this was manifest the love of God toward 
 us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into 
 the world, that we might live through him. 
 
 10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but 
 that He loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitia- 
 tion for our sins. 
 
 11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to 
 love one another. 
 
 12. No man hath seen God at any time. If we 
 
 31 
 
love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love 
 is perfected in us. 
 
 13. Hereby know we that we dwell in Him, and 
 He in us, because he hath given us of His Spirit. 
 
 14. And we have seen, and do testify, that the 
 Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 
 
 15. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son 
 of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 
 
 16. And we have known and believed the love 
 that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwell- 
 eth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 
 
 17. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may 
 have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he 
 is, so are we in this world. 
 
 18. There is no fear in love; but perfect love cast- 
 eth out fear; because fear hath torment. He that 
 feareth, is not made perfect in love. 
 
 19. We love him, because he first loved us. 
 
 20. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his 
 brother, he is a liar; for he that loveth not his 
 brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God 
 whom he hath not seen? 
 
 21. And this commandment have we from him, 
 That he who loveth God love his brother also. 
 JOB 22. 
 
 25. Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defense, and 
 thou shall have plenty. 
 
 PSALM 22. 
 
 26. The meek shall eat and be satisfied. 
 
 PSALM 34. 
 
 1. Fret not thyself because of evil doers, neither 
 be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 
 
 2. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, 
 and wither as the green herb. 
 
 32 
 
3. Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shall thou 
 dwell in the land, and verily thou shall be fed. 
 
 4. Delight thyself in ihe Lord; and He shall give 
 ihee ihe desires of ihine hearl. 
 
 5. Commil ihy way unlo ihe Lord; trusl also in 
 Him; and He shall bring il lo pass. 
 
 PSALM 1. 
 
 1. Blessed is ihe man lhal walkelh nol in ihe 
 counsel of ihe ungodly nor slandelh in ihe way of 
 sinners, nor sillelh in ihe seal of ihe scornful: 
 
 2. Bui his delighl is in ihe law of ihe Lord; and 
 in His law dolh he medilale day and nighl. 
 
 3. And he shall be like a Iree planled by ihe 
 rivers of waler, lhal bringelh forlh his fruil in his 
 season; his leaf also shall nol wilher; and whalso- 
 ever he doelh shall prosper. 
 
 4. The ungodly are nol so; bul are like ihe chaff 
 which ihe wind drivelh away. 
 
 5. Therefore ihe ungodly shall nol sland in ihe 
 judgmenl, nor sinners in ihe congregalion of ihe 
 righleous. 
 
 6. For ihe Lord knowelh ihe way of ihe righl- 
 eous; bul ihe way of ihe ungodly shall perish. 
 PSALM 91. 
 
 1. He lhal dwellelh in ihe secrel place of ihe most 
 High shall abide under ihe shadow of ihe Almighly. 
 
 2. I will say of ihe Lord, He is my refuge, and 
 my fortress; my God; in Him will I Irusl. 
 
 3. Surely He shall deliver ihee from ihe snare of 
 ihe fowler, and from ihe noisome peslilence. 
 
 4. He shall cover ihee wilh His fealhers, and 
 under His wings shall ihou Irusl; His Irulh shall be 
 ihy shield and buckler. 
 
 5. Thou shall nol be afraid for ihe lerror by 
 nighl, nor for ihe arrow lhal flielh by day; 
 
 33 
 
6. Nor for the pestilence that walketh in dark- 
 ness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noon- 
 day. 
 
 7. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thou- 
 sand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh 
 thee. 
 
 8. Only with thine eyes shalt thou hehold and 
 see the reward of the wicked. 
 
 9. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my 
 refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 
 
 10. There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall 
 any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 
 
 11. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, 
 to keep thee in all thy ways. 
 
 12. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest 
 thou dash thy foot against a stone. 
 
 13. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder; 
 the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample 
 under feet. 
 
 14. Because he hath set his love upon me, there- 
 fore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, be- 
 cause he hath known my name. 
 
 15. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; 
 I will be with him; I will be with him in trouble; I 
 will deliver him, and honour him. 
 
 16. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew 
 him my salvation. 
 
 PSALM 121. 
 
 1. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from 
 whence cometh my help. 
 
 2. My help cometh from the Lord, which made 
 heaven and earth. 
 
 3. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; He 
 that keepeth thee will not slumber. 
 
 34 
 
4. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither 
 slumber nor sleep. 
 
 5. The Lord is thy keeper; the Lord is thy shade 
 upon thy right hand. 
 
 6. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the 
 moon by night. 
 
 7. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil; He 
 shall preserve thy soul. 
 
 8. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy 
 coming in from this time forth, and even for ever- 
 more. 
 
 1 TIMO. 6 10 to 12. 
 
 10. For the love of money is the root of all evil; 
 which while some coveted after, they have erred 
 from the faith, and pierced themselves through with 
 many sorrows. 
 
 11. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; 
 and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, 
 patience, meekness. 
 
 12. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on 
 eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast 
 professed a good profession before many witnesses. 
 
 2 TIMO. 1-7. 
 
 7. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; 
 but of power and of love, and of a sound mind. 
 
 35 
 
THINK GOOD, NOT EVIL. 
 
 If mankind wants to learn to think right, never 
 wrong, study to know good, never evil. How to be 
 happy, never melancholy. How to he healthy, never 
 unhealthy. How to be harmonious, never inharmo- 
 nious. Study the great Divine Principle of life, how 
 to live. Divine Principle being all, man has no other 
 source to go to for happiness and health, and he 
 learns that as God is the only creator, and created 
 good only, that evil, the opposite, is without a cre- 
 ator, is a myth. 
 
 The true child of God never did a wrong, and the 
 so called fleshly man never to his mortal sense enter- 
 tained a true God thought. Thoughts of materiallity 
 are the counterfeit to the true God thinking. 
 
 God is Spirit, mind. He is man's intelligence. 
 Man reflects forever, spirit, and nothing but good can 
 be reflected. Evil, error, is the opposite of good. 
 God (good) cannot be found in evil. Health and all 
 that is divinely good is everywhere. Good and evil 
 cannot commingle any more than water and oil. Re- 
 member the Bible statements that flesh and blood 
 profiteth nothing. Why does man worry over that 
 which profits nothing? Turn about and absorb 
 love; that which creates Heaven within us. 
 
 When will mortal man awaken to the understand- 
 ing of the laws of God and learn to be .obedient to 
 the law of right? This law of right is God's law; 
 knows no wrong, thinks no wrong, does no wrong. 
 
 The fleshly man is doubleminded, knows good and 
 evil; but his good is not of God, not eternal. When 
 will he learn to bridle his unruly tongue, fault find- 
 ing, and seeing evil in his brother? We must get the 
 beam out of our own eye before we can see the mole 
 
in our brother's eye. Learn to mind our own busi- 
 ness and cleanse our own thoughts of evil. When we 
 see evil in another, it originated in our own bad 
 thinking. Let us clean out our own house. 
 
 STRAINED NERVES OVERWORK. 
 
 There is no such thing as strained nerves; over- 
 work. It is a false mental concept that suggests these 
 evils. God never created His children to suffer from 
 overwork, nerve exhaustion, debility, fear or any of 
 these falsely declared diseases mankind seems to suf- 
 fer. God's creation is perfect and His word says we 
 cannot add to or take from what He has created. 
 Mankind has to study to know the truth about him- 
 self, and God; not the errors or so called evils. It 
 is understanding the truth that frees man from all 
 false beliefs in sin, sickness and death. 
 
 Man is God's likeness when he holds to happy, har- 
 monious, good thoughts. When he holds to imper- 
 fect, painful, inharmonious thoughts he is unlike 
 God. Mortal mind is His opposite, counterfeit to be 
 destroyed by the higher Spiritual thinking. 
 
 Mankind cannot load himself down with all the 
 sick beliefs of the day and expect God to father them. 
 God's child reflects his every thought from the 
 Father, no guile in them. 
 
 37 
 
EVIL. 
 
 Evil is the direct result of a belief in a power 
 apart from God. God is declared to be all power, 
 the only power. Evil is real to mortality, but unreal 
 to God. (Truth.) Sickness is real to the mortal 
 senses, but unreal to God. God is the reality and He 
 is all Good, man His image and likeness. 
 
 If mankind believes in the Bible, he must disbe- 
 lieve in evil, sin, sickness and death, for the Bible 
 teaches that God created all that exists, and created 
 it Good, yea, very good. Error is not good, so cannot 
 be any part of God's creation. The Word says God 
 is of too pure eyes to behold evil. If He created it, 
 it is seeable; He could see it. God's creation is eter- 
 nal. 
 
 God's man has a harmonious body. The man of 
 the flesh seems to often entertain inharmony. As 
 God is all in all whence comes inharmony? It has 
 no true existence. It is a false belief. Cold cannot 
 exist in space filled with warmth. No inharmony 
 can exist where Love is. God is LOVE. God is 
 everywhere. No space where He is not No room 
 for evil. 
 
 Entertain love not hate. Hold good thoughts, not 
 their opposite. Hold good healthy loving thoughts 
 over all the organs of the body, and banish all 
 thoughts of disease and death. God is our life. He 
 is perfect. Hold to this and you reflect harmony. 
 Let mankind refuse to entertain any thoughts but 
 good, Love. So all evil like hate, sin, poverty will 
 fly out the window, and go to its native nothingness. 
 What will remain? Health, plenty, love, joy. 
 
 Let mankind drink from the fountain of Love, All 
 inharmony will disappear. God is Love and har- 
 
 38 
 
mony and nothing else can exist where Love is. 
 
 That which God created perfect is eternally so. No 
 power is greater than God's, and there can exist no 
 imperfection in God's man. (Fix this in your 
 thought and ponder.) 
 
GOD OUR LIFE. 
 
 For this commandment which I command thee this 
 day is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. 
 Dent 30-11-20. 
 
 That thou mayest love the Lord, thy God, and that 
 thou mayest obey HIS voice and that thou mayest 
 cleave unto Him, for He is thy life and the length of 
 thy days. 
 
 SP. EXP. What mankind becomes possessor of is 
 what he seeks, and makes his own. Seek the truth 
 and make it ours. Mankind more often seems to 
 seek the evil and make it his. Turn from evil to the 
 Truth and evil will flee from thee. A soft answer 
 turneth away wrath. In love there is no wrath. 
 
 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath 
 of the almighty hath given me life. Job 33-4. 
 
 SP. EXP. Spirit, God is our Father; our life; not 
 the father of the fleshly man. But if permitted he 
 will control this carnal mind for good. Then we 
 cannot think evil. 
 
 Thou wilt show me the path of life, in Thy pres- 
 ence is fullness of joy. At thy right hand, there are 
 pleasures forever more. Ps. 16-11. 
 
 For with thee is the fountain of life. Ps. 66 8-9, 
 which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our 
 feet to be moved. 
 
 As righteousness tendeth to life, so he that pursu- 
 eth evil pursueth it to his own death. Prov. 11-19. 
 
 SP. EXP. When man entertains sick, evil, harm- 
 ful thoughts, he is entertaining an enemy that leads 
 him on to death. 
 
 In the way of righteousness is life and in the path- 
 way thereof there is no death. Prov. 12-28. 
 
 40 
 
SP. EXP. Hold to the Truth. God is our life and 
 is eternal. No death. 
 
 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart 
 from the snares of death. Prov. 13, 14. 
 
 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart 
 from the snares of death. Prov. 14, 27. 
 
 Understanding is a well spring of life, unto him 
 that hath it. Prov. 16-22. 
 
 SP. EXP. Man is admonished to get wisdom, to 
 get understanding. When man follows after right- 
 eousness he finds life. 
 
 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy 
 findeth life. Prov. 21-21. 
 
 SP. EXP. To obtain righteousness and mercy be 
 obedient to the Christ commands. Never entertain 
 evil thoughts; Purity of thought is elevating. 
 
 O Lord, by these things men live, and in all things 
 is the life of my spirit. So wilt thou recover me, and 
 make me to live. Isa. 38-16. 
 
 He will swallow up death in victory. Isa. 25-8. 
 
 SP. EXP. Death is error; life is truth. Truth, 
 obeyed, destroys all error. Be obedient to the com- 
 mands of the Principle Life. 
 
 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 
 John 4-14. 
 
 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall 
 give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall 
 give him shall be in him a well of water springing up 
 into everlasting life. John 4-14. 
 
 SP. EXP. All who entertain the pure thoughts of 
 good shall never want. PURITY of thought pro- 
 duces health, harmony, joy, and the peace that pass- 
 eth all understanding. 
 
 41 
 
He that heareth my words, and believeth on him 
 that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come 
 into condemnation, hut is passed from death unto 
 life. John 5-24. 
 
 SP. EXP. Man must believe; Have no doubts. 
 Must believe in God, and in Jesus Christ as the 
 savior, or mediator between God and matured man. 
 Man earnestly believing, will put it into practice, and 
 will receive blessings in return. What constitute our 
 blessings? Naught but happiness, peace, joy, health, 
 heaven within us. Our consciousness. 
 
 For as the Father hath life in Himself, so hath He 
 given to the son to have life in himself. John 5-26. 
 
 For the bread of God is he which cometh down 
 from heaven and giveth life unto the world. John 
 6, 33. 
 
 SP. EXP. The God, or Christ inspiring thought 
 which controlled the man Jesus, will control us; if 
 like Jesus we are a willing receptable for Truth. 
 Jesus said; Follow me. Obedience to truth is exacted 
 of mankind. 
 
 Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on 
 me hath everlasting life. John 6-47. 
 
 SP. EXP. / do believe, help thou my unbelief. 
 Blot out my transgressions, O Lord. 
 
 I am the bread of life. John 6-48. 
 
 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, 
 that a man may eat thereof and not die. John 6-50. 
 
 SP. EXP. Entertain the truth, and do not pass 
 through a belief of death. It is the spirit that quick- 
 eneth; the flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I 
 speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life. 
 John 6-63. 
 
 I am the light of the world. He that followeth me 
 
 42 
 
shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light 
 of life. John 8-12. 
 
 I am come that they might have more life and that 
 they might have it more abundantly. John 10-10. 
 
 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them and 
 they follow me. John 10-27. 
 
 And I GIVE unto them eternal life; and they shall 
 never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out 
 of my hand. John 10-28. 
 
 SP. EXP. Eternal life is the gift of God, and can- 
 not be plucked from man. Man cannot perish: we 
 have Gods word for it. We have to work out our 
 own salvation, and Jesus Christ is the wayshower. 
 Let us follow His leadership. 
 
 Jesus said unto her: I am the resurrection and 
 the life: he that believeth on Me though he were 
 dead, yet shall he live. John 11-25. 
 
 SP. EXP. Resurrected from false beliefs of sick- 
 ness and death. Although mankind does entertain 
 these false beliefs of life in matter, and that he must 
 die, he will be lifted out of these beliefs and know 
 that life is eternal. 
 
 Because I Live, ye shall live also. John 14, 19. 
 
 An emphatic statement. 
 
 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee, 
 the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast 
 sent. John 17, 3.

Just where a lie originated; not in the truth. Just 
 where a counterfeit dollar originated, not in the mint. 
 It is a false, perverted creation, not to be accepted 
 by man. Evil must not be accepted or handled, as it

 For when we were in the flesh the motions of sin 
 which were by the law, did work in our members to 
 bring forth fruits unto death. Rom. 7-5.

 dead wherein we were held, that we should serve in 
 newness of spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. 
 Verse 6. 
 
 SP. EXP. The letter killeth, the spirit, it is life, 
 God is spirit. He is life; man His spiritual child. 
 God's man is not found in the flesh. 
 
 For to be carnally minded is death, But to be 
 spiritually minded is life and peace. Rom. 8-6. 
 
 For if we live after the flesh we shall die, but if 
 ye through the spirit do mortify the deeds of the 
 body, ye shall live. V. 13.

 reap corruption; but he that soweth to the spirit shall 
 of the spirit reap life everlasting. Gal 6-8. (Let 
 man sow to the spirit.) 
 
 For as much then as the children are partakers of 
 flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of 
 the same; that through death he might destroy him 
 that had power of death, that is the devil. Hab. 2-4. 
 
 SP. EXP. The person in the above verse was the 
 
 48 
 
fleshly Jesus, and as He laid off the flesh, so mortal 
 man must lay it off. 
 
 And delivered them, who through fear of death 
 were all their lifetime subject to bondage. V. 15. 
 
 We know that we have passed from death unto life 
 because we love the brethren. He that loveth not 
 his brother abideth he in death. 1 John 3-10. 
 
 SP. EXP. Brother, sister, cultivate love. Never 
 see or speak ill of your brother. What we see in 
 another is the product of our own mortal thoughts. 
 See no evil, listen to no evil, speak no evil. Rest on 
 the rock of LIFE.

 and will put none of these evil diseases of Egypt 
 which thou knowest upon thee. Duet. 7-15. 
 
 SPIRITUAL EXPLANATION. By knowing the 
 Truth that in the Divine Principle of God, good, no

 found in the principle of music. Harmony is music. 
 Discord is inharmony. Not found in God's man.

 was diseased in his feet until his disease was exceed-

 good, God will not give him a stone. God gives noth- 
 ing but good health, harmony, peace, joy. For He 
 is the embodiment of good. 
 
 O Lord, Thou has brought up my soul from the 
 grave: Thou hast kept me alive, that I shouldst not 
 go down to the pit. Ps. 30-3. 
 
 SP. EXP. The understanding that death does not 
 exist as a truth but as a falsity lifts man, mortal 
 thought, out of the mire, and places him on the rock, 
 Christ Jesus and into a heavenly happy state of mind. 
 He is not left down in the depths of despair 9 in a 
 belief in death. 
 
 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily 
 for me for thou are my strength. Ps. 31-4.

 redeemed me O Lord, God of Truth. Ps. 31-15.

 ing. Place his feet on the path to Heaven, harmony 
 and a pure state of consciousness. Then man real- 
 izes that he is delivered from his enemies, his false 
 beliefs of sin and death.

 Father, Mother, God.

 the young lion and the dragon shall thou trample 
 underfoot. Ps. 91-13.

 its creator. He made good only. 
 
 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all 
 thy diseases. Ps. 103-3. 
 
 SP. EXP. The above declares that God heals all 
 our diseases. Does it say that man's help is needed? 
 Did not Jesus heal? Did He not command his fol- 
 lowers to go and do likewise? Is man GocFs su- 
 perior? Is God to become a secondary considera- 
 tion? 
 
 He sent his word and healed them and delivered 
 them from their destruction. Ps, 107-20. 
 
HEALING.

 Quotations from Jesus 
 
 Go out into all the world and preach the gospel 
 and heal the sick. What I have done ye shall do 
 also even greater things shall ye do. If ye have faith 
 and doubt not, ye shall say unto this mountain, be 
 thou removed and cast into the sea, and it shall be 
 done. (Mountains of errors, seas of errors). 
 
 And these signs shall follow them that believe. In 
 my name shall they cast out devils, and they shall 
 speak with tongues. 
 
 They shall take up serpents and if they drink any 
 deadly thing it shall not hurt them. They shall lay 
 hands on the sick and they shall recover. 
 
 SP. EXP. To cast out all evil beliefs such as sin, 
 sickness and death, and entertain new happy 
 thoughts. Take up the evil sick serpent thoughts and 
 destroy them in your consciousness, and if you have 
 taken into your mortal consciousness any thoughts oj 
 sin, sickness and death, the understanding of the 
 truth as Jesus has given it will destroy it all in your 
 thought. (Consciousness.) 
 
 54 
 
Now when the sun was setting all they that had 
 any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him 
 and He laid His hands on them and healed them. 
 
 SP. EXP. All were healed through the under- 
 standing of Jesus. Man is given the same power if 
 obedient to Christ Jesus 9 commands. 
 
 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve 
 years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, 
 neither could be healed of any came behind Him and 
 touched the border of His garment and immediately 
 her issue of blood was staunched. Luke 8, 43-44. 
 
 SP. EXP. What faith! For thirty years I spent 
 my money on physicians, and for over twenty years 
 for my dear wife. No cure. But through the advice 
 of friends we accepted the Christ teachings, and we 
 have both been in the enjoyment of health for many 
 years. Bless the Lord. 
 
 Insomuch as they brought forth the sick into the 
 streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at 
 least the shadow of Peter passing by might over- 
 shadow some of them. (Wonderful faith.) 
 
 There came also a multitude out of the cities 
 round about unto Jerusalem bringing sick folks; and 
 them which were vexed with unclean spirits and they 
 were healed everyone. 
 
 And God wrought special miracles by the hand of 
 Paul 
 
 55 
 
PAUL'S FAITH IN GOD. 
 
 "And God wrought special miracles by the hands 
 of Paul." (Acts 19-11.) 
 
 "And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, 
 and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of 
 the heat and fastened on his hand." (Acts 28-3.) 
 
 "And he shook off the beast in the fire, and felt no 
 harm." V. 5. 
 
 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen 
 or fallen down dead suddenly; but after they had 
 looked a great while and saw no harm come to him, 
 they changed their minds, and said that he was a 
 God. V. 6. 
 
 SP. EXP. What is the viper which fastens itself 
 on man, but a false belief of life in matter. A belief 
 that sin, sickness, and death, can, like a viper, fasten 
 itself so firmly in the mind of the human fleshly man 
 that he believes he has life in this flesh and he can 
 suffer and die. He does not life his mind above the 
 human unto God. Spirit as the life of man is not 
 found in the flesh, but in God. Jesus came to bring 
 life and immortality to life through the gospel. 
 Jesus the Christ was the light of the world. He said 
 "Follow me." And we as true followers of the 
 Christ Jesus can shake off the viper of death. The 
 mortal belief of sin and sickness which leads to a 
 false belief in death. O ye of little faith, believe 
 and be baptised into the Truth which Christ Jesus 
 presented in mankind, when He said go ye out into all 
 the world and preach the gospel and heal the sick. 
 
 Let us have faith, Faith without works is dead. 
 Man who has the faith in Christ does the healing 
 work. 
 
 "He therefore that ministereth to you the spirit, 
 
 56 
 
and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the 
 works or law, or by the hearing of faith?" Gal 3-5. 
 
 SP. EXP. Destroy all beliefs of sickness, sin and 
 death in the man of flesh, and cause him to know 
 that all life is in, and of God, never found in the 
 fleshly man. 
 
 "Women received their dead raised to life again." 
 V. 35. 
 
 "Faith if it hath not works is dead, being alone." 
 (Jas. 3-17). 
 
 "And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and 
 the Lord shall raise him up." V. 15. 
 
 "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man 
 availeth much." V. 16. 
 
 SP. EXP. Let mortal man have faith in the great 
 and only principle of good, God, Divine Principle 
 and be healed and Live. 
 
 57 
 
THE CARNAL MIND, ETC. 
 
 If mortal man would realize his safe footing, he 
 must know that PAUL speaks truly when he says 
 that the child of flesh is not the child of God, also 
 flesh and hlood pronteth nothing. The carnal mind 
 is at enmity to God. Cen he for a moment believe 
 that the Infinite God, all good, all powerful, could 
 create a mind in His idea, to be at enmity to HIM- 
 SELF?^ read in Romans 8, 2-3-4: For the law of 
 the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free 
 from the law of sin and death. For what the law 
 could not do, in that it was weak thro* the flesh, 
 God sending His own son in the likeness of sinful 
 flesh, and for sin condemned in the flesh, that the 
 righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who 
 Walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. 
 
 SP. EXP. We gather from this: that the carnal 
 mind is not the mind of God, nor of his creation. 
 It is the father of the belief that man exists in the 
 flesh as a creation of God. Could this be a truth? 
 Jesus 9 advent was in the flesh, and for sin was con- 
 demned in the flesh. Is God held accountable for 
 the evil created by man? God forbid. No, my 
 brother, take the word of Paul for it. For the laic 
 of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free 
 from the law of sin and death. Yes, obey God?s law 
 and be free from sin and death. God is the only life, 
 and He is not found in the flesh which He con- 
 demned. Let the righteousness of Goef s law be ful- 
 filled in us, and let us not walk after the flesh but 
 after the spirit. Let us have the spirit of Christ 
 JESUS in us, and love our neighbor as ourselves. We 
 will never be free from our false beliefs until we 
 learn to follow Jesus and forsake evil, and affirm the 
 
 58 
 
Truth. Man is God's child when he manifests love 
 in his daily life. Man is entertaining the serpent 
 thought when he maintains that he exists in the flesh. 
 The serpent beguiled Eve and he is beguiling all who 
 see life in the material body, instead of knowing that 
 God is our life. Man in the flesh is as truly opposite 
 of the real man as a spurious dollar counterfeits the 
 one produced by the mint. Mankind needs spiritual 
 purgation. He has an over loading of sick evil 
 thoughts. The different diseases seeming to exist in 
 him are just beliefs. We all have a lot of terri- 
 ble beliefs. Just begin to unload and get rid of them. 
 Then what will we find? Nothing but health. Just 
 leave the big "D" off of devil and what is left evil, 
 Why add the D 9 Why take from man his healthy 
 thoughts and leave him sin, sickness and death? Just 
 see the flesh as nothing, God as spirit and God's man 
 spiritual. Then there will be no man to think evil. 
 Evil is that evil thinketh. Good is as good thinketh. 
 The devil is evil in the fleshly mind. God is good in 
 the spiritual mind. See no evil, hear no evil, speak 
 no evil. Heaven is ours in our consciousness, now. 
 
HEALING. 
 
 Affirm health and deny evil. Take in the scrip- 
 tural words, dissect them, separate the gold from the 
 dross, that is, good from evil, wheat from the chaff, 
 see God as all, evil nothing. Let us obey Christ 
 Jesus' teachings as the mariner oheys the compass 
 and knows his whereabouts on the great deep through 
 his instruments. 
 
 Man has been falsely educated to believe in life, in 
 matter; instead of in spirit, God. The Bible tells us 
 that God is Spirit, and man is his image and likeness. 
 Can this image be found in the fleshly man who 
 seems to die? Can death be called the image of life? 
 Can evil be the image of good? Sickness that of 
 health? Can God be the Creator of all good, and 
 at the same time the creator of good's opposite? Can 
 man be thinking of health and happiness, which is of 
 God, and at the same time have thoughts of evil, sin 
 and death? 
 
 The man of flesh does appear to be real and to 
 possess life. Jesus said, judge not by appearances, 
 but judge righteous judgment. Our life is in God. 
 Be not deceived my brother, my sister, but search 
 the scriptures and you will find that there is but one 
 Creator, God, Mind. 
 
 God will ever be to man what man believes Him 
 to be ; and evil will ever be the same. All the power 
 evil has in what man gives it. Let us see that we take 
 from, and not add to. Always deny evil, and affirm 
 truth, if we want health and happiness. When we 
 affirm sick, lame, halt blind or discordant in body, it 
 is a tearing down process. To build up to be strong 
 and healthy, man must lay claim to the good. It is 
 the building process. 
 
 60 
 
God did not create evil. He created only good. 
 How can evil proceed from good, when God declares 
 that He is of too pure eyes to behold evil? The old 
 adage, "evil is that evil thinketh," As a man thinketh 
 in his heart so is he. Arise, and think with God. 
 Evil is unreal, it has no reality. When we claim God 
 as the only Creator, if we accept evil as reality, we 
 admit that God made it, and if so, he entertained 
 thoughts of evil, and could not be purely good, and if 
 evil is created by God, man must of necessity bear 
 patiently with it. God is in His Law and His law is 
 everywhere. God is the spirit or substance of all 
 there is. Good is God. Drop one "o" from "good" 
 and we have God add the letter "D" to evil, and we 
 have "Devil." God must be life to live. God is our 
 life, health, strength, All in All. 
 
 The Kingdom of Heaven is within us, Love mani- 
 fests Heaven. As man is filled with God's love, he 
 is harmonious and heavenly. Man is the embodiment 
 of God's thoughts, mind, Spirit, God, Wisdom is of 
 God. 
 
 God created man in his own image and likeness. 
 Man must be like God, good, to be His image and 
 likeness. Ask yourself is this fleshly man, this sick 
 sinful dying man, the image of the living God? As 
 there is but one real creation it is a living creation, 
 not a dying one. The Spiritual man knows God his 
 creator. The fleshly man has no creator to know. He 
 is unlike God, good. Man to be known as God's 
 image and likeness is to be found as the embodiment 
 of Divine principle wholeness, purity, love, wisdom, 
 the essence of Good. Man is but the thought of 
 God, Mind. Wisdom is the intelligence of God, Mind. 
 Mind is the Creator of all good. Evil has no cre- 
 ator, it is a lie. A lie is not found in the Truth. 
 It has no part in the Truth. So the fleshly man is no 
 part of God, and is not the man of God's creation, 
 
 61 
 
and does not manifest life in its true sense. Death 
 is the extinction of life. What God made cannot die. 
 
 Man lives, moves and has his being in God. Man 
 living in God lives in Heaven for God is Heaven. 
 Heaven is where God is, and the Bible says there is 
 no place where God is not. This being true, man is 
 eternally in Heaven, consequently must be eternally 
 healthy, happy, harmonious, well. He must enjoy 
 healthy, happy thoughts to be heavenly. No evil 
 thoughts that we attach to our liver, stomach, bowels, 
 kidneys, heart, lungs, throat, head, blood, nerves, 
 brain, spine, or entertain in the mortal mind can be 
 found in the mind of God. In His thoughts there is 
 no evil. Let us see that we attach no evil to any of 
 the organs of this so-called body which we claim as 
 ours. We must not lay claim to it. Paul says, "The 
 child of the flesh is not the child of God." We are 
 God's children spiritually, not materially. Ecc. 
 3:14 said, nothing can be added to, or taken from 
 what God has made.

WHAT MATERIAL MAN HAS BEEN 
 TAUGHT. 
 
 Mortal man has for centuries been taught to look 
 to the body and claim he is in pain, sick, because he 
 feels it. He can locate its whereabouts. He is not 
 aware that the thought suggests to the mortal man 
 that he is sick and in pain, and locates it to mortal 
 belief. Paul says, to be carnally minded is death, 
 but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. When 
 we learn that man's life is in mind, never in body, 
 then we will learn to look to God, Divine Mind, for 
 life, health, happiness and success, and turn away 
 from the so called mortal mind, which leads us to 
 a false belief of life in the flesh. God, Mind is al- 
 ways able to care for His own creation, which is 
 spiritual and not material. It is by knowing we are 
 spiritual the children of God, not of the flesh that 
 man lays off his false belief in pain, sickness, sin and 
 death and takes on in its stead, health. 
 
 Let us continually remind ourselves that we are the 
 children of God and not of matter. We must insist 
 momently and hourly that Divine Mind, God, is the 
 only Creator, and spiritually we are His children. 
 Paul says, They which are the children of the flesh, 
 they are not the children of God. Rom. 9:8. Rom. 
 8-1. There is therefore no condemnation in them 
 which are in Christ Jesus who walketh not after the 
 flesh, but after the Spirit. We must take Christ 
 Jesus as the way shower, and follow in his precept 
 Do his bidding. Destroy all fleshly beliefs of life in 
 matter and declare that sickness and pain do not ex- 
 ist as a truth, but as a falsity. Let God be true and 
 mortal man a liar. 
 
 When the so called human mind is governed by 
 63 
 
the Divine Mind which is the only mind, this so- 
 called fleshly man will manifest health and harmony. 
 Every organ in his body will display activity. God is 
 man's activity. All that He created is ever active. 
 God neither slumbers nor sleeps nor does the man of 
 His creation. It is the man of flesh that seems to 
 require sleep. It is the fleshly man that says I am 
 sick, I am tired. For God is eternal life, Man His 
 image. Life cannot die. Therefore the fleshly dy- 
 ing man is not of God's creation. We become the 
 children of God when obedient to His commands. 
 The spiritual world is the only reality. The Spirit- 
 ual man is the Only real man. The material world 
 is unreal; the material man is unreal. God is Spirit, 
 and all He creates is spiritual. The human race has 
 been deluded into believing in a power apart from 
 God, and into seeing God as the creator of mortal 
 and a material world. All that is discerned by the 
 material senses is unreal. 
 
 The material man is discordant. He sees the sun 
 moving and the earth standing still. He sees man 
 with a double mind, knowing good and evil. The 
 spiritual man is single minded, sees nothing but good, 
 knows nothing but truth. Sees no evil, knows no 
 evil. All is God, good, and man His idea, spiritual 
 and not material, healthy, harmonious. Man giving 
 way to sin and selfishness, has closed the door against 
 his true consciousness of God, good, and the true 
 spiritual understanding of right. This material sense 
 world is the unreal world. In this material world we 
 have good and evil, but the good is not immortal 
 good; it is subject to many changes and believes in 
 sin, sickness, evil sorrow, pain, and an ending in a 
 belief in death. 
 
 How is mankind to be lifted up out of its false be- 
 liefs or illusions? His false beliefs of life in matter, 
 and a power apart from God? Search the Scriptures. 
 
 64 
 
We will see that they tell us that God is spirit, and 
 man worships Him in spirit and in truth. And the 
 Bihle further declares, that man, male and female, 
 were created in His image and likeness. Therefore, 
 man must of necessity be spiritual and the spiritual 
 is indisputably eternal. Mary seeing through spir- 
 itual vision the mistake that man was laboring un- 
 der, looked up to God, Divine Principle, with all the 
 fervency of her heart and plead for a child that He 
 might be the Savior of the world, and her prayer 
 was answered, in the birth of Jesus. God sending 
 His own son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for 
 sin, condemned sin in the flesh "that the righteous- 
 ness of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not 
 after the flesh, but after the spirit. Rom. 8-4. 
 
 "For they that are after the flesh do mind the 
 things of the flesh; but they that are after the spirit, 
 the things of the spirit" (Rom. 85). "For to be car- 
 nally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded 
 is life and peace." (Rom. 8-6). 
 
 SP. EX. Follotving the carnal mind leads to a be- 
 lief in death. The spiritual mind lifts man up into 
 a higher more lofty thought of life. And as God is 
 our life and His life is eternal, hotv can death exist? 
 Jn life there is no death. All is life. Jesus was born 
 of the human Mary. But the Christ within him was 
 of God. As a truth he could say "The Father 
 is greater than I." The 1 of the flesh. Before Abra- 
 ham was, I am. So Christ Mind is God; And man 
 ivhen he entertains the Christ thought is following 
 him. And the Christ thought or spirit of Christ 
 manifested in man is the true life of man, Jesus be- 
 ing of the flesh fleshly, and Christ the Spirit in Him 
 is God. 
 
 Jesus the Christ was the mediator between God and 
 man. The man, Christ Jesus. Our way is made 
 plain, walk in it. When we see man as spiritual and 
 
 65 
 
not material and obey Jesus the Christ the work is 
 done. Be obedient. Be ye obedient to the law of 
 God. Obey Christ Jesus' command, "Follow me." 
 If we do we will rise above the false claims of ma- 
 terial consciousness and enter into the true conscious- 
 ness of spirit God. Then we will die to error, or life 
 in the flesh, and realize our oneness with God, and 
 we will set our affections on things above, and not on 
 earth. Spiritual thinking is life, Material thinking is 
 death. As in Adam (error) all men die, so in Christ 
 (Truth) shall all be made alive. 
 
 The material man is a dreamer, and when he 
 awakes to the truth of being, all dreams vanish, and 
 man finds himself a spiritual child of God. Perfect 
 as God is perfect. Jesus said "Verily, verily I say 
 unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that 1 
 do shall he also do, and greater works than these 
 shall he do, because I go unto the Father." 
 
 SP. EXP. These promises were not only for his 
 disciples of those days, but for us today. Follow 
 thou me. And he said we are to do greater works 
 than He did. If we expect to do the greater works 
 we are to be obedient to the Christ spirit. Paul tells 
 us that Jesus took on sinful flesh and for sin was 
 condemned in the flesh, and as the flesh has been 
 condemned man must lay off all fleshly material be- 
 liefs and put on the new man. The Christ purified 
 man. The man of God's creation. All things were 
 made by Him and ivithout Him was not anything 
 made that was made. So let us obey Christ 9 s com- 
 mands. He says "Lo, I am with you always even 
 unto the end of the world" Jesus subdued evil in 
 every form and what He did we are to do "and even 
 greater things." 
 
 He conies to destroy sin, sickness, evil and death. 
 So arise in thought above all mortal beliefs of life in 
 matter, and to see all life in God. 
 
 66 
 
Let us be about our Master's business. 
 
 The old man and his deeds must be laid off for 
 the new man. 
 
 This mortal must put on immortality and this cor- 
 ruptibility, incorruption. And death is swallowed 
 up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, 
 where is thy victory? 
 
 O man! unlock the door of thy consciousness and 
 let out all that is unlike God. (What is left? Love.) 
 
 In GocTs perfect child there is no discontent. All 
 is harmony. If this so-called mortal fleshly man 
 wants to know contentment he must learn that there 
 is no mind but God's mind and in this mind he finds 
 contentment, and not discontent, and in absolute con- 
 tentment man finds health and harmony. A con- 
 tented man is not a discontented man. A happy, 
 healthy man is neither sad nor sick, nor is a discor- 
 dant man, a healthy, harmonious man. Where are 
 we to find contentment? In seeking the truth of be- 
 ing. That man as God's idea is spiritual and not ma- 
 terial, healthy, not unhealthy, happy, not unhappy, 
 good, not evil, harmonious, not inharmonious. Seek 
 and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto 
 you. Christ Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. 
 ''Follow thou me." 
 
 67 
 
LIFE. 
 
 If man believes God is the Creator of sickness and 
 is all wise, all powerful, man cannot be consistent if 
 he resorts to materia medica for help to abate suf- 
 ferings he believes God created. God could not be 
 consistent and create both good and its opposite, evil 
 or error of any kind. 
 
 Man to be healthy and harmonious must banish 
 forever all beliefs of life in matter, and know that life 
 is in and of God; mind, God is our life. As the sun 
 gives to this material world, light and heat, so God 
 gives out life and health to his ideas; and in propor- 
 tion as man lays off this human sense and accepts in 
 its stead the Divine sense, man becomes the master of 
 all his beliefs of life in matter and all its so called 
 claims of sin, sickness and death. A good man out 
 of the good treasures of his heart bringeth forth good 
 things, and an evil man out of evil treasures of his 
 heart bringeth forth evil things. 
 
 If a man thinks good, his life will manifest good, 
 and if his thought be evil, evil will result. As a man 
 thinketh in his heart, so is he. Let our thoughts be 
 good only. God's Kingdom is finished and the scrip- 
 tures teach us it is within us. It is within our reach, 
 or our understanding. God is everywhere. Heaven 
 is a state of harmony. Hell is inharmony and as 
 Heaven is everywhere, where is hell to be found? 
 All good is in and of God. It is by the systematic 
 and persistent recognition of Good that evil passes 
 from our consciousness. 
 
 68 
 
HARMONY. 
 
 Harmony and perfection are a creation of God, 
 Mind, which is eternal. Discord of any name or na- 
 ture, is not found in the Divine Mind. The material 
 so-called man, is a creation of error, a false belief, 
 that which seems to exist and does not. A lie is be- 
 lieved never was true. It is a truth perverted. Sick- 
 ness, pain and death are never found in the immor- 
 tal mind of GOD, consequently untrue. They seem 
 to exist, just as the sun seems to move and does not. 
 
 All discordant, diseased painful thoughts are the 
 creation of the so-called mortal thought, never found 
 in the Divine mind. Let us bridle our mortal minds 
 if we want to be healthy and happy. God created 
 good. He could not create both good and evil. He 
 is not double minded. 
 
 Love is the key to Heaven. Love is God. God is 
 Heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven is within us 
 within our true consciousness. Love is harmony, har- 
 mony is heaven. Love is the leaven that enters into 
 our true consciousness and leavens this whole lump 
 of humanity. Love, the leaven, enters this lump of 
 mortal flesh and never ceases its work until the whole 
 bundle is leavened, purified. God is Love, Love is 
 God. Nothing can obstruct a channel of love in our 
 consciousness, for Truth is working and operating all 
 the time. We cannot suffer from any human mind, 
 claim of sickness or pain, for Infinite mind governs 
 every organ and function in our bodies. Every day is 
 God's day and can bring us nothing but harmony and 
 health. Truth is the alternative and activity to the 
 whole system and can make it every whit whole. 
 Nothing exists but God and His ideas, which is per- 
 fect, spiritual, immortal. Harmony is everywhere. 
 
 69 
 
Inharmony nowhere. God is everywhere. Evil no- 
 where. Love is, Love's opposite does not exist. 
 Health is, sickness is not. God never created an op- 
 posite to Himself, to destroy what He created, and 
 as God fills or occupies all space where can we find 
 room for His opposite? We cannot, impossible. 
 When thoughts of perfection are manifest in this 
 body, then we see God's man and Heaven manifested 
 in good. 
 
 The principle of mathematics does not teach the 
 pupil that one and one make three, nor does the prin- 
 ciple of music teach the pupil to recognize discord 
 in harmony. Nor does the Divine principle God 
 teach man that sin, sickness, death, or error of any 
 nature is found in him. Deny it, and affirm the 
 truth, God is good and All in All. Man must for- 
 sake his discordant beliefs of life in matter, in sick* 
 ness, sin, death and acknowledge all life is in and of 
 God, else God could not be All in All. The only 
 true man is the man of God's creation. The man of 
 God's creation is found in the Divine mind, never in 
 the human. The God given health cannot be taken 
 from man, and sickness and death added to him. 
 God said not to add to or take from what he has 
 created. 
 
 Dear reader, which do you prefer, the joy and light 
 of God's sunshine, health, harmony, life, or the oppo- 
 site, gloom, despondency, sin, sickness and death? 
 You can obtain the one by accepting the truth. You 
 can obtain the other by rejecting it. 
 
 All material power originates in the power house, 
 and is distributed to the cars in different parts of the 
 city and sets them in motion. So God is the great 
 and only power house, mind, and distributes his 
 thoughts to His children. If they accept and obey 
 they manifest life, strength, happiness and health. 
 
 70 
 
JESUS OUR SHEPHERD. 
 
 Mankind cannot be forced, but he can be led. The 
 shepherds in ancient times did not drive their sheep, 
 but led them. They followed in perfect trust and 
 love. Jesus the divine shepherd said, "Follow me." 
 Let us be followers of Jesus, willing servants of the 
 dear Lord. 
 
 God is not the creator of discordant thoughts, fear, 
 doubt, anger, stubbornness, malice, jealousy, hate, 
 persecution, greed, envy, sin, sickness, worry, pain, 
 death, nor of malpractice of any name or nature. 
 Evil or discordant mortal thoughts are the very 
 opposite or antipode of God, good, and the belief in 
 them must be destroyed by good thinking. They 
 must be banished from material minds. Evil is, that 
 evil thinketh. As man has no other source to apply 
 for his thoughts, he must imbibe the purity of spirit, 
 God. In Him there is no evil. Man cannot be pre- 
 vented from being healed by or through the Truth if 
 he is willing to be led by the Christ thought which 
 is the Truth, God is, and naught else is. Heat de- 
 stroys cold, melts ice, Good destroys evil, happiness 
 despair, Truth error, light darkness. Fearlessness 
 puts out fear, love revenge. Let love reign in our 
 hearts. God's creation is a thought creation. All is 
 mind, Mind is God. All is All. Man cannot be lost, 
 for he can have no existence apart from God. God 
 is omnipotent and omnipresent. 
 
 71 
 
MISCELLANEOUS. 
 
 If God did not create sickness it cannot exist as a 
 reality. God created all which He created good. If 
 sickness is God's creation, it must be good, and if so, 
 it cannot be destroyed. 
 
 When man knows that the Principle is not the 
 cause of our mistakes in life, and searches for the 
 reason, he finds it in his own mortal mind. 
 
 If there is a principle existing which can cause an 
 inanimate object like the phonograph to laugh and 
 sing, and speak and whistle, the same principle can 
 do the like with mortal man, and can make him 
 happy and well. When the man at the helm of the 
 great steamer neglects to manipulate his wheel the 
 boat leaves its course, because it is not held to the 
 point of the compass. So we must hold to the Truth 
 of being, as our guide on earth's trackless sea. 
 
 No mortal can be influenced to do a wrong deed, 
 or think wrongly if he will obey the Principle of 
 right. 
 
 Mankind had better think twice before acting 
 once. Then who does the thinking? Mortal man or 
 God? I say, in my thought, the earth stands still and 
 the sun moves. Is it so? I say, Man is sick unto 
 death. Is it so? If sickness is created by God, it 
 must be good. Would God create that which can 
 destroy life? 
 
 None but the pure in heart can see God. It be- 
 hooves man to purify his thoughts from all beliefs of 
 life in matter and of sickness and death or any evil 
 or false beliefs. 
 
 72 
 
I will instruct thee, and teach thee in the way that 
 thou shall go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Pal. 
 32-8. 
 
 And ye shall serve the Lord your God and He shall 
 bless thy bread, and thy water and I will take sick- 
 ness away from the midst of thee. Ex. 23, 20-25. 
 
 Jesus Christ is now beckoning unto man to follow 
 Him, just in the same manner that He did on earth 
 and if man wants to get out of his physical ailments 
 let him heed the call lay off his false beliefs of life 
 in matter and put on the robe of righteousness. 
 "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, 
 and I will give you rest." (Truth). 
 
 Human mind, the old serpent talked to Eve and 
 led her astray just as he is leading man now, away 
 into the wilderness of despair. O hearken to the 
 bugle call of love and follow Christ. The mansion is 
 prepared to receive us all. Jesus took on mortal 
 flesh and was condemned in the flesh. A lesson for 
 man; heed it. 
 
 The letter killeth, but the spirit quickeneth. Let 
 man imbibe the spirit of Christ. Truth is right 
 thinking about God. Error is the wrong thinking. 
 Error causes all wrong thinking. Truth never. 
 
 Material man does not imbibe the true thoughts of 
 God until he is ready for them. He does not build 
 a house when he is financially unprepared. To drink 
 in to our mortal consciousness God's loving healthy, 
 Harmonious thoughts, there must be a willingness, a 
 hungering and thirsting for something better than 
 that which we seem to have. We must be willing to 
 surrender our unhealthy unhappy beliefs for better 
 ones. 
 
 God never slumbers nor sleeps. It is the material 
 73 
 
man who sleeps until he awakens to the truth of be- 
 ing. God is All in All and we are included in the 
 All. 
 
 Man seeing himself as the child of God cannot en- 
 tertain any evil thoughts. In purity, impurity can- 
 not be found. God's thoughts are pure. Man should 
 reflect them. 
 
 Now if any man have not the spirit of Christ, he 
 is none of his, and if Christ be in you the body is 
 dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of 
 righteousness. But if the spirit of Him who raised 
 up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He shall also 
 quicken your mortal bodies by His spirit that dwell- 
 eth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not 
 to the flesh to live after the flesh. For if ye live 
 after the flesh (the mortal beliefs) ye shall die, but 
 if ye through the spirit, do mortify the deeds of the 
 body, ye shall live. (Rom. 8) Remember God's 
 man is spiritual, never material. God's man is not 
 found in the flesh, but in mind. 
 
 All the wrath that can be found in God is in His 
 Law, or in man's disobedience to that law. Obedi- 
 ence brings peace, disobedience wrath. Don't charge 
 it to God. Be honest and father your own mistakes. 
 God is love and cannot create wrath. Love is Chris- 
 tianity. Hate its opposite. Jesus the Christ teaches 
 us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Is this 
 love manifested in the churches of today? (Don't 
 talk love, but live it). Man is happy in right doing, 
 unhappy when he does wrong. What discerns right 
 from wrong but our true conscience, The true 
 thoughts? Mankind must go to work and clear the 
 weeds out of his own thoughts. Weeds represent 
 error. A good gardener prepares his ground for his 
 crop, then he procures the seed from a reliable 
 source, and he plants them, and then waits for re- 
 sults. In due time he goes to his garden, and what 
 
 74 
 
does he find? A crop of weeds! He exclaims, 
 "These are not from the seed I planted!" And he be- 
 gins to investigate and he finds here and there some 
 of the products of his planting and so as he, a pru- 
 dent gardener, meditates and concludes, "These are 
 worthless seeds and will prevent my crop from ma- 
 turing." And so with hoe in hand he goes out to 
 destroy the weeds. Why do they destroy his crop? 
 Because they grow so rapidly they take the nutriment 
 from the soil and so the good plants have none. The 
 weeds must be hoed out again and again before the 
 crop gets strong enough to hold its own, and absorb 
 the nourishment necessary for its development. The 
 result a bountiful crop. So with man. Error in 
 the name of sickness, aches and pains are the weeds 
 to be destroyed in our consciousness. What will be 
 left? Health, Harmony, a beautiful crop. Let us be 
 good gardeners. 
 
 To love God is to love the good we get from Him. 
 He can impart nothing but good. Nothing unlike 
 Himself, the embodiment of good. We get light and 
 heat from the sun and love and love's result from 
 God. And as good is all and evil nothing, evil can- 
 not be the twin of good, nor good of evil. God is the 
 only Good, and Jesus Christ the only wayshower. 
 He teaches a change of heart, a change of thought 
 from wrong to right, from sickness to health, from 
 desnair to happiness. All man sees through the ma- 
 terial senses is unreal. Let man learn to discern 
 spiritually, not materially. God's creation is not ma- 
 terial. It is spiritual. 
 
 1. "There was a man of the Pharisees named Nico- 
 demus, a ruler of the Jews: 
 
 2. "The same came to Jesus by night, and said 
 unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher 
 come from God: for no man can do these miracles 
 that thou doest, except God be with him. 
 
 75 
 
3. "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, 
 verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born again 
 he cannot see the kingdom of God. 
 
 4. "Nicodemus said unto him, How can a man be 
 born when he is old? can he enter the second time 
 into his mother's womb and be born? 
 
 5. "Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say unto thee, 
 Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he 
 cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 
 
 6. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and 
 that which is born of the spirit is spirit. 
 
 7. "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be 
 born again. 
 
 Ask yourself this question: Could God be Spirit, 
 Mind and the only creator, and create all like Him- 
 self, good, and at the same time create evil? Could 
 He create a man of the flesh, a sinful dying man, and 
 then be the embodiment of good? The answer must 
 be No. Man derives or reflects all he is, from God, 
 and God is absolute good. Can man reflect evil from 
 good? Can he get sickness, pain and death from 
 God, good? No, God is all. He made all, yes, 
 Made all good. Then can evil exist, and God be its 
 creator? No. 
 
 God made man, male and female in His own im- 
 age and likeness and finished His work, and rested. 
 Man, male and female have their work to do. God 
 says work out your salvation; meaning man is to 
 work out of this false belief of life in matter and 
 realize himself as living and moving and having his 
 being in God, and being governed by Mind, God and 
 not by human mind, so called. Health and happi- 
 ness must be the result. This is the problem for man 
 to work out, just as he works a mathematical prob- 
 lem. Make no mistakes, but cling strictly to the 
 principle of right. It is knowing the truth that frees 
 
 76 
 
man. Error, a mistake, never frees, but through 
 error he wanders further from the truth. 
 
 Climatic influences have no power over God's man. 
 Planets have no power, Weather has no power, 
 Dampness has no power, Mortal mind so called has 
 no power. God is the only power and this power 
 is good only. He is not in His opposite, No evil to 
 fear no mortal to create evil. If there could be, God 
 wouldn't be all powerful. Let man hold to the 
 thought of purity, and not purity's opposite, Love, 
 not hate, Health, not sickness, good, not evil. "All 
 things work together for good to those who love 
 God." Let our hearts be filled with love, and leave 
 no room for evil. Just love. 
 
 A man who wishes to live under the protection of 
 the United States flag must become a citizen of the 
 United States and obey its laws. Should he be Eng- 
 lish, Russian, or German, he has to relinquish his 
 former home government and become a full citizen 
 of the United States. So man must relinquish his be- 
 liefs of life in matter and accept all life as being in 
 mind, God, and be obedient to His commands and 
 deny all evil, and affirm truth as all. Man must be 
 governed by the law of Spirit, and not matter. Pre- 
 sent your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable 
 unto God, says the scripture. No claim of sickness 
 is true unless God created it. All He created is good. 
 Who is willing to say that sickness, pain or death is 
 good? Christ Jesus came to destroy sin, sickness and 
 death. Are destroyed by putting them out of mind, 
 by right thinking. 
 
 Better sweeten our coffee with sugar than with 
 acid. It is more agreeable. Better sweeten our dis- 
 positions with love than with hate, with good rather 
 than evil. Heavenly thoughts rather than impure or 
 vicious ones. 
 
 77 
 
Jesus said Call no man your father on earth, for 
 one is your father even God. Mary the mother of 
 Jesus, in the fervency of her heart looked up to God 
 the Father and implored Him to give her a child that 
 he might be the Savior of the world. Who is to be 
 saved? Not the spiritual child of God, but the flesh- 
 ly seeming man of sin. Jesus came in the flesh and 
 for sin was condemned in the flesh. Jesus being con- 
 trolled by the Christ principle reached out in his 
 fleshly thought, recognized the man of flesh and said 
 unto him "Follow me." How? In right thinking 
 being obedient to the Christ. So man is lifted up out 
 of the mire and clay of flesh and as he follows Jesus 
 he is lifted higher and higher into the Christ mind, 
 into Heaven; and the old man with his deeds is laid 
 off for the new man, the Christ renovated man, the 
 redeemed man. As this so called human is governed 
 by the Christ thought he becomes a new creature. 
 Let man follow the Christ. This mortal must put on 
 immortality, and this corruptible put on incorrup- 
 tion. Then death will be swallowed up in victory. 
 Then man can truly say O death, where is thy sting, 
 O grave, where is thy victory? As man follows 
 Christ he lays off all his false beliefs in the flesh and 
 all that belongs with it, sin, sickness, pain and pov- 
 erty and his belief in death, and he becomes a new 
 creature in Christ Jesus, and knows no Father but 
 God, good. O, is it not worth striving for? Eternal 
 bliss, eternal life, eternal happiness. Try it, my 
 brother, my sister. 
 
 When mortal man accepts God as the truth of be- 
 ing, as his creator and follows Him in spirit, he lays 
 off the old man and his deeds and puts on the new 
 man, Christ Jesus, who says "I am the way, the truth 
 and the life, follow me." Then as he follows he be- 
 comes a new creature in Christ Jesus. 
 
 God, good, is my life, God is my health, God is 
 
 78 
 
my strength, God is my happiness, God is my peace, 
 God is my harmony, God is my joy, God is my sup- 
 port, God is always with me. God never forsakes 
 me. God is omnipotent, omnipresent. No place 
 where He is not. God being everywhere, evil no- 
 where. That which can't be found in principle, has 
 no existence. 
 
 Nothing so, but thinking makes it so. The farmer 
 has to think about how and when to plant his crop; 
 What soil is best adapted to corn, potatoes, wheat and 
 oats; also when to plant or sow, and when it will be 
 ready for harvesting. The inventor has to think, and 
 think again before he can demonstrate his thought 
 creation. The lawyer must study and give much 
 thought to his client's case. The builders of railroads 
 have to plan and survey for their track. Mankind 
 can accomplish nothing without thinking. He thinks 
 he does not feel well. He wonders what his ailments 
 are; finally he calls in the doctor. The doctor looks 
 wise and thinks it best to examine the tongue, the 
 heart, thinks to take the temperature and finally 
 thinks out his diagnosis of the case. He thinks it 
 quite a complicated case, but thinks there is hope of 
 recovery. Later in the case he thinks it is beyond 
 his control and thinks best to call in council. They 
 think, and express their thoughts with fear and fill 
 the family's minds with fear and death. Mortal 
 man's thinking. 
 
 God does not think He knows. He knows that 
 the man He created cannot be sick, suffer and die as 
 His creation is eternal and knows no death. He did 
 not, nor could not create man to die. He could 
 not create an opposite to life, unless He knew both 
 good and evil. If it were possible He would be im- 
 perfect Himself for He would have the elements of 
 death in Himself. We have the assurance of the 
 scripture that God did not create the fleshly man. 
 
 79 
 
So man must know of a fact that he is spiritual and 
 not material. A man of mind and not matter. 
 Therefore, God's man is a man of thought unreal to 
 the mortal so called man. Man cannot be real and 
 unreal. 2 and 2 make 4 and not 5. So we must 
 conclude that the spiritual man is God's creation and 
 the fleshly so called man is but a belief of a man. A 
 belief is that which seems to be and is not. So the 
 man of God's creation cannot be sick and die as he 
 is immortal. This so called man of flesh is a nega- 
 tion, nothing to God. Yet he does seem to be some- 
 thing to his own corrupt thought, material mind. 
 
 80 
 
TEMPER. 
 
 A good even temper is conducive to good health. 
 A bad temper is the cause of much of the sickness of 
 the day. Now, I speak to my fellow mortals. Of 
 the two, which do you choose? The one leads man 
 in to happy congenial thoughts and sends a glow of 
 happiness over and through his body and you see 
 manifested on his face a look of peace and joy, that 
 many times will hold you spellbound; and you long 
 for the like yourself. It is yours for the taking. 
 Keep the side of an even happy nature and not the 
 opposite, (bad temper). 
 
 When material man is quick to anger, full of 
 venom, and without restraint he gives way to the 
 paroxysms of temper. We see upon his face the ex- 
 act opposite to the expression of the self controlled 
 man. Bad temper is anger, malice, hate, revenge, 
 fear, and is the cause of many deaths, and of many 
 of the so called ailments of the day. How are you to 
 curb this temper? Just as the driver prevents the 
 loaded wagon from rolling upon his team, as they go 
 down a steep grade apply the brake in time. Don't 
 wait till you are too far down the grade. Just curb 
 this evil temper before it gets beyond control; you 
 say I will give a piece of my mind to this man, who 
 has annoyed or injured me. It will be like pouring 
 water on a duck's back. If they are good natured 
 they laugh at you. If like you they are full of 
 venom, they fight back and trouble follows trouble. 
 Remember "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound 
 of cure." To vent your spite is only time lost, and 
 you alone are the real sufferer. O mortal be warned! 
 Think twice ere you act once. Keep a bridle on 
 your unruly tongue. Think no evil, do no evil, and 
 no evil will be created. Mankind is the sole creator 
 
 81 
 
of evil. So as light destroys darkness, so a good 
 cheerful disposition, showing love to all, will destroy 
 malice. Love your neighbor as yourself, and the 
 Lord thy God with all thy heart. 
 
 GOOD AND EVIL. 
 
 Does good and evil exist? If so man Would be 
 double minded and the Bible declares that a double 
 minded man is unstable. Could this perfect God 
 create a perfect man, male and female, like Himself 
 and at the same time create an imperfect man? If 
 He could entertain thoughts of imperfection He 
 would not be perfect Himself. Could He create a 
 healthy man, and not protect him in his health, He 
 would not be good and all powerful. We must dis- 
 sect our carnal thoughts and discern the truth. 
 
 82 
 
GREAT AND ONLY FIRST CAUSE. 
 
 It is admitted that there must be a great and only- 
 first cause and that cause is found in a great prin- 
 ciple called Divine Principle, Spirit, Mind, God, 
 Good and it is admitted by mankind that only good 
 can proceed from this cause. Pray tell me where the 
 so called evil originated. It could not originate in 
 the mind of God, He being the embodiment of good. 
 It would be impossible for absolute good to be the 
 father of evil. Evil is good's opposite. Man is of 
 God's creating. Male and female created He them in 
 His own image and likeness. Man possessing a car- 
 nal mind is not God's creation for the carnal mind 
 is at enmity to God, and not subject to His laws. 
 Can it be possible that God, the eternal all wise cre- 
 ator, could create this carnal mind which the scrip- 
 tures declare is at enmity to Him? Could God create 
 both in us? The letter killeth but the spirit giveth 
 life. Life's absence is death. Let mankind keep 
 their mind on health and harmony and it will not be 
 controlled by the opposite, ill health, inharrnony. 
 Both can't be found at the same time in one place. 
 Let us cast our net, (our thoughts) on the right side 
 as good obedient fishermen. Fear is not good, neither 
 is a belief in death. Sickness, sin and death are a 
 creation of the carnal mind, God's enemy. Health, 
 harmony and all good are of God's creation, good. 
 Fear, doubt, anxiety and all false beliefs of life in 
 matter is the cause of all our beliefs of sickness, sin 
 and death. It is certain that the man of God's crea- 
 tion cannot suffer and die. He reflects eternal life 
 from God who is life. God imparts life to His ideas. 
 Seek and ye shall find; Knock and it shall open unto 
 you. Jesus came to bring life and immortality to 
 light through the gospel. It was always here, but 
 not discernible till Jesus' advent in the flesh. Seek 
 it, find it through Christ Jesus. 
 
 83 
 
COME LET US REASON TOGETHER. 
 
 God is Mind, Divine Principle, Omniscient, Omnip- 
 otent, Omnipresent. He is all there is: the only 
 cause, the only creator. He creates good only, un- 
 derstanding the absolute Allness of God, and His 
 presence everywhere, evil is without creator or place, 
 a non-entity. God's created man cannot be sick, suf- 
 fer and die, and as there is no other man sin and 
 suffering cannot be a reality understand, a reality 
 to God's good. But sin and sickness in the seeming 
 is a reality to the inharmonious mortal man. Now 
 it is up to mankind to make his choice. Separate 
 the wheat from the chaff. Cast your net, your 
 thoughts, on the right side of the ship and receive 
 only good. 
 
 God's man is not a receptacle for evil. 
 
 GOD'S OPPOSITE NOT A REALITY. 
 
 Mankind has to learn that God, good, is the only 
 reality. God being all that exists, His opposite, so 
 called evil, error, sin, sickness, pain, fear, death, are 
 negations, consequently unrecognized by God, Spirit, 
 and must also be ignored by the so called man of the 
 flesh. When mortal man wakes up to this infinite 
 God's truth, he will then wake up out of this dream 
 of life in matter, and see God as all in all and error 
 as false; and he will lay off the old man with his 
 falsities and accept the truth, health and happiness 
 and realize that it proceeds from the only Power. 
 
 T-\:~^. V" T - T;I -* find the kingdom of heaven within 
 his own consciousness. 
 
 84 
 
CARNAL MIND. 
 
 This carnal mind attempts to govern the body, but 
 it seems to make bad work of it. One time good, 
 many times bad. Because as the scripture tells us, it 
 is at enmity to God; for to be carnally minded is 
 death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 
 This carnal mind manifests both good and evil. Now 
 let in the mind of God, good only and evil will dis- 
 appear like the darkness, when light fills all space. 
 O, let in the light of Divine Love which knows no 
 evil, sickness or death. 
 
 So long as the light of Truth is shining within 
 you, there can be no darkness, no sin, evil or pain. 
 Just live in the atmosphere of Love. As the running 
 water purifies itself, so the truth Love will purify the 
 thoughts of mortal man, and evil will flee before 
 him, as the darkness flees before the light. Drink 
 from the fountain of Love, and you will never, never 
 thirst for anything but more Love. O, mortal man, 
 just know that you do not exist in the flesh as God's 
 idea for God's man is spiritual; and as a creation of 
 mind, is perfect, and can never manifest evil. 
 
 The sun seems to move but does not. So evil, 
 sickness, pain and death, seem to be real but are not. 
 The earth seems to stand still, yet it moves rapidly. 
 It seems to be flat, yet it is round. Man's seemings 
 are unreal. 
 
 85 
 
HOW DID EVIL ORIGINATE? 
 
 The question is often asked, how did evil orig- 
 inate? Answer: Just as a lie originated. Was a lie 
 ever a truth? No. Was a truth ever a lie? No. 
 Now ask yourself this: do you prefer to believe the 
 lie or the truth? You say, the truth. As the truth 
 is all there is, there is nothing but the truth, then 
 the lie is the negation, nothing. What are we to do 
 with it? Just see it for what it is, nothing but a lie; 
 cast it out of mind, and accept the truth as a truth, 
 as all there is. But, you say, if all God created is 
 good, whence cometh the evil? Evil seems to be all 
 about us, Well said. Seems to be, seeming is all there 
 is of evil. It is never real. Reality is only real, and 
 reality is God's creation. God and His idea is all 
 there is. The only existing things are what God cre- 
 ated good, and as evil is admitted not to be good, it 
 cannot be God's creation. Then see it for what it is, 
 nothing but a belief. This morning to the seeming, 
 the sun is not shining. Is that true? Yes, to my 
 material sense. But in reality, the sun is ever shin- 
 ing whether clouds hide his face or us. Are the true 
 senses of God's man material or spiritual? God is a 
 spirit and man is His image and likeness, spiritual. 
 Then if God be true man cannot be material, conse- 
 quently this fleshly material man is not of God's cre- 
 ation. What is he but a lie? Was there ever a time 
 that the sun did not shine? No. No matter how 
 dark the clouds may appear to be, and to the so 
 called mortal sense obstruct its view, yet back of 
 these clouds he ever shines. Then to say the sun is 
 not shining would be false. So if the mortal sense 
 testimony cannot see God and His true creation in 
 spirit, mind, but sees it in error, flesh, is it true? 
 No. For God could not create anything unlike Him- 
 
 86 
 
self, good. God is eternal life and cannot die, and 
 man admits that in his flesh he can die. Can we har- 
 monize these antagonistic statements? No. Can both 
 be true? Can God be good, immortality good and 
 create both good and evil? No. Can the immortal 
 child of God sicken and die? No. Ask yourself this 
 question. If the mathematical problems are correct- 
 ly solved what do we get as result? Correct answer. 
 If incorrectly solved, an incorrect answer. Is the in- 
 correct solution found in the principles of mathe- 
 matics? You will say no. Is God's eternally perfect 
 creation true? Yes. Then HIS so called opposite, 
 error, devil, sin, sickness and death are untrue, be- 
 cause not found in the principle of God, good. God 
 created good only and cannot be the father of evil 
 or anything that has the taint of evil in it. 
 
 The fleshly man filled with thoughts tainted with 
 evil is untrue, and is not found in the mind of God. 
 Evil has no creator as there is but one creator even 
 God. 
 
 Our mistakes originated when man failed to ac- 
 knowledge God as the only creator, and his creation 
 good. Evil cannot be found in good, or good in evil. 
 Good is, evil is not. In God. good, evil cannot be 
 found. In man, as God created him, evil is not; and 
 as God is omnipotent, omnipresent there is no place 
 for evil. Evil is good perverted. A lie is the truth 
 perverted. Let God be true and every man a liar, 
 said Jesus. Jesus perceived the evil in the thoughts 
 of the Pharisees and rebuked it. So mankind must 
 rebuke every ungodlike thought; every thought of 
 sin, sickness, pain, fear, death, and place in their 
 stead harmony, health, love, joy, peace and eternal 
 life. God has no fellowship with evil. He has noth- 
 ing to do with erroneous counterfeit things of the so 
 called sinning dying mortal man. Heaven is where 
 God is. God is everywhere. Hell, Heaven's oppo- 
 site, has no abiding place. 
 
 87 
 
The man of God's creation is in Heaven, for he is 
 in the mind of God. Jesus came to show the sinning 
 dying man how to get out of his hell like condition 
 into the kingdom of heaven. He said "Follow me." 
 Entertain thoughts of love. Love your neighbor as 
 yourself. Love is the entering wedge to Heaven. 
 Love is Heaven. Let us be followers of the love of 
 Christ Jesus. 
 
 OBEDIENCE TO CHRIST JESUS. 
 
 Our life problems are all products of thought. 
 We prosper thro' obedience, never thro' disobedi- 
 ence. Man must know that he is the child of God and 
 perfect. The Infinite could not create him otherwise. 
 There is no power outside of Divine Principle, and 
 God's creation cannot be sick, suffer and die. Man 
 should be governed by Divine Principle, not mortal 
 mind. Know the Truth. Matter has no existence 
 outside of God. Can a mistake ever be found in the 
 Principle, or is it any part of Principle? No, a mis- 
 take is simply a lie, and a lie is no part of Truth. 
 Nor is sickness, sin and death any part of God or 
 God's man. God is perfect. 
 
 You plant a garden. You select good seed, and 
 after a time when the plants appear you find among 
 them many weeds. Did you plant weeds? No. How 
 do you account for them? They just appeared. So 
 sickness, pain and death have no creation in Truth. 
 The weeds have to be hoed out. The lie has to be 
 destroyed by the Truth. Be obedient to the Infinite 
 Power and cultivate only God's good plants. 
 
CAN WE BECOME SICK AND DIE? 
 
 Can the man of God's creation become sick and 
 die? No, not if God is eternal life. Is He, or is He 
 not? God is eternal life and He is man's life. Does 
 the so called fleshly or carnal man possess eternal 
 life? No, the child of flesh is not the child of God. 
 God is spirit and His child is spiritual, not carnal. 
 Jesus did not take on sinful flesh, and be condemned 
 in the flesh to save spiritual man, who is already 
 saved, but to save the so called man of flesh and He 
 said unto them, follow me. Jesus followed the 
 Christ, and mankind follows Jesus. By so doing we 
 lav off the old man, for the renewed man, the man 
 who follows Christ Jesus and does His bidding. This 
 mortal must put on immortality, and this corruptible 
 put on incorruption. Then is death swallowed up in 
 victory. By our obedience to Christ Jesus' teaching, 
 no other way. No other door to the kingdom of 
 Heaven. 
 
 When man learns that the dark clouds obstruct the 
 sun's light, but that the sun is shining all the time, 
 he will learn to not let the dark, sick bad thoughts 
 of materiality obstruct his view of health and happi- 
 ness. Heaven. O Mortal, wake up and live. 
 
 All that God created expresses activity. His crea- 
 tion is ever active and all organs of our bodies are 
 ever active in Mind. Can inactivity be found in 
 activity? 
 
 When the dark, cold, damp, disagreeable weather 
 disappears, what is left? Nothing but sunshine, good 
 weather. When our dark, dreary, evil, unhappy 
 thoughts are destroyed from our consciousness, what 
 is left, but health, harmony, love, joy and the peace 
 that passeth all understanding? 
 
 89 
 
GOD'S LAW. 
 
 Know ye not, brethren (for I speak to them that 
 know the law) how that the law hath dominion over 
 a man as long as he lives. 
 
 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sin, 
 which were by the law, did work in our members to 
 bring forth fruits unto death. 
 
 But now we are delivered from the law, that being 
 dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in 
 newness of spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. 
 Rom. 7 1-5-6-7-8-9. 
 
 SP. EXP. Mortal man must keep the laws of our 
 land in order to prepare him to obey the laws of 
 Divine Principle, God. Our fleshly thoughts are the 
 father of evil desires in the flesh and can be brought 
 under subjection by obedience to the Christ teach- 
 ing, keep the commandments. Mankind seems to 
 lose sight of life as in and of God, and seems to con- 
 sider himself as a creator. He loses sight of the 
 knowledge that Divine Principle is the only creator. 
 When Christ Jesus appeared as our redeemer to show 
 mortal man the way out of all false beliefs, and 
 taught him that all life is in God, He wished us to 
 accept the truth to become God's children spiritually 
 and to lay off the old man with his deeds, and put on 
 the new man (Man renewed). What shall we say 
 then? Is the law sin? God forbid. "Nay, I had 
 not known sin but by the law. For I had not known 
 lust except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. " 
 But sin, taking occasion by the commandments 
 wrought in me all manner of concupiescence, For 
 without the law sin was dead. 
 
 For I was alive within the law once, but when the 
 commandments came, sin revived and I died. 
 
 90 
 
SP. EXP. Where there was no laiv, mankind 
 claimed his freedom to do as he pleased. There was 
 no restraint, no compulsion toward right. He is a 
 free moral agent, to do good or evil as he wills. 
 There was no sin until the commandments of God 
 came in force. Then mankind lost his freedom and 
 if disobedient to the law, he is punished. If his sin 
 was evil thinking, sickness, sin, poverty, pain and 
 death was the penalty. Jesus came to the world 
 through the pure thoughts of Mary, His mother, and 
 He was governed by the pure Christ thoughts, and 
 became the Savior of the world. It is through love 
 and obedience that man comes to the realization of 
 the truth of being, that all life is in and of God. 
 There is no other way. Then we have the kingdom 
 of heaven within us. Then we are conscious of noth- 
 ing but good. Evil is extinct to us. 
 
 91 
 
PURITY OF THOUGHT. 
 
 John 6-63. It is the spirit that quickeneth, the 
 flesh profiteth nothing. 
 
 Psalm 51-1. Have mercy upon me O God accord- 
 ing to thy loving kindness, according unto the mul- 
 titude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgres- 
 sions. 
 
 SP. EXP. God is always merciful unto man, when 
 man is obedient to the commands of Divine Love, and 
 manifests it by walking in the paths of Truth, by 
 manifesting love, not hate, good, not evil, health, not 
 sickness, happiness, not despair, and by cleansing or 
 correcting these so called material thoughts. By 
 knowing God, as Spirit, Mind, the only Creator and 
 HIS Creation, immortal, perfect, never found in the 
 material man. 
 
 Psalms 51-2. Wash me thoroughly from mine 
 iniquities and cleanse me from my sin. 
 
 SP. EXP. When the so called mortal man awak- 
 ens, and accepts the truth of man 9 s spiritual exist- 
 ense and manifests it in his daily life, he is washed 
 of his material belief in sin. 
 
 Psalms 51-2. For I acknowledge my transgression, 
 and my sin is ever before me. 
 
 SP. EXP. When the so called material man 
 awakes to the truth of being so that he sees he is a 
 transgressor of the law of God, good, and is a sinner 
 and he is desirous of knowing a better way or a way 
 out of a belief in sin and death, let him look to Jesus 
 who said: I am the way, the truth and the life. 
 Follow thou me. 
 
 Psalms 51-10 is an answer to the above. Create in 
 92 
 
me a clean heart God and renew a right spirit 
 within me. 
 
 SP. EXP. This means to purify our material 
 minds and to think and see no evil. All is mind, all 
 is God and God is All good. 
 
 ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS. 
 
 Has God an opposite called Devil? 
 
 Has good an opposite called evil? 
 
 Has right an opposite called wrong? 
 
 Has health an opposite called sickness? 
 
 Has happiness an opposite called despair? 
 
 Has Spirit an opposite found in mortal man? 
 
 Can good be created and evil exist in it? If God 
 is good, evil, His opposite, can't be. Can man bring 
 harmony out of both good and evil? 
 
 Ask yourself which exists. 
 
 Health or sickness? 
 
 Right or wrong? 
 
 Life or death? 
 
 Heaven or hell? 
 
 If we admit that God, good, is all in all, we must 
 then admit that evil has no existence. 
 
 Man must make his choice, which will it be? 
 
 He chooses that which produces health and eternal

CONDEMNATION. 
 
 Condemn no man. Let us think twice before we 
 speak once. Always let our thoughts be of good. 
 Good thoughts are the only thoughts. Evil does not 
 exist as a reality. There are no evil thoughts in 
 reality. Condemn no man, Listen not to gossip. If 
 you have a grievance against a brother, get face to 
 face and reason together. Let love rule, and anger 
 will vanish. There are always two sides to a story. 
 It takes two to make a quarrel. 
 
 They that are of the flesh cannot do the works of 
 the spirit; neither they that are of the spirit the 
 works of the flesh. Eph. 2-9. 
 
 SP. EXP. While ive see ourselves as of the flesh, 
 we cannot see ourselves as GoeFs child,, spiritual; 
 therefore tve fail to do our spiritual work, separate 
 the good from the evil, the wheat from the chaff. 
 The thrasher saves the wheat and not the chaff. 
 
 Let no one look upon his neighbor after the flesh; 
 but do all mutually love each other in Jesus Christ. 
 
 SP. EXP. We must abandon the thought of Jesus 
 as Christ and also that of the fleshly man as the 
 child of God. Jesus was the son of Mary, and the 
 Christ principle was God in the man Jesus. As Jesus 
 was controlled by the Christ principle so mortal man 
 must be controlled by the same principle. And if 
 obedient to this principle, health, harmony, peace, 
 joy are the result, and if disobedient, the opposite. 
 
 Fear God, and keep his commandments. For if 
 thou keepest his commandments thou shalt be pow- 
 erful in every work, and all thy works shall be ex- 
 cellent. For by fearing God thou shalt do every 
 thing well. 2 Hermos Com. 7-1. 
 
 94 
 
SP. EXP. God is in his law and man must fear to 
 be disobedient to His Law. Materially we do not 
 fear the man or men who make our material laws, 
 but we do fear to violate the laws they have made. 
 We cause our own suffering by our violation of these 
 laws. Let it be the law of mortal man or of God. 
 Nothing but good is found in God's laws. Its oppo- 
 site, evil, is no part of Good, (nothing) Let man 
 fear to take the name of God in vain or to claim the 
 fleshly man as GocFs creation. God is spirit, Mind 
 and His man is Spiritual. Man must have the mind 
 of God to be like Him. The fleshly man has a dou- 
 ble mind, materially good, also bad. This being so 
 he cannot be Gotfs image and likeness. The spir- 
 itual man is never sick and knows no evil. The so 
 called material man does know evil and death, not 
 in reality, but in seeming and what is a seeming? 
 That which seems to be and is not. So man in the 
 flesh is nothing. 
 
 But fear not the devil: for if thou feareth the 
 Lord, thou shalt have dominion over him; because 
 there is no power in him. Her. Com. v. 7. 
 
IS THERE SIN? 
 
 I cannot close this little book without saying a few 
 words on the line of sin or no sin. 
 
 It is said by thousands of mortals that Christian 
 Scientists say there is no sin. If this is true we can 
 sin all we like and not be punished. (Don't make 
 that mistake). A Christian Scientist who makes that 
 statement will qualify his or her statement and will 
 explain what they mean by it. To God there is no 
 sin. God did not create sin, nor a man who could 
 sin. God made man spiritual, as God is spirit; and 
 God is of too pure eyes to behold sin, too pure 
 thoughts to create sin or a sinner r God's creation is 
 perfect, is eternal. In Ecc'ts 3-14 we read these 
 words: "I Know that whatsoever God doeth it shall 
 be forever, nothing can be put to it, nor anything 
 taken from it." Did God create man to live for- 
 ever, or did He create him a sinner and dedicate him 
 to death? Remember the definition of death is the 
 extinction of life. Scripture says God is our life and 
 life is eternal. So God is eternal and His idea, man 
 reflects life eternal. How can man, male and female, 
 be God's likeness unless he expresses life eternal? 
 The mortal sinning man does not express nor reflect 
 it. Then he is not God's likeness and God could 
 not have created His unlikeness a sinner. So to God, 
 sin does not exist. But to this so called carnal mind- 
 ed man who believes in sin, sin does exist to his 
 mortal sense, and is only too real; and if he bucks 
 up against it, he says he proves its truthfulness. To 
 his own material sense he does: but is it true? God 
 the only creator who created all good could not cre- 
 ate a man to do evil. This mortal fleshly man is 
 likened unto a counterfeit dollar. It is called a dol- 
 lar. Is it? No. Why? For the mint alone is the 
 
 96 
 
creator of a good dollar, and this counterfeit a fac- 
 simile of the real, is accepted generally as good, but 
 it is not. Neither is the so called material man the 
 real man, he is the fleshly man and a sinner and 
 God's creation is spiritual and pure. The fleshly 
 man is good perverted a counterfeit; like the bad 
 dollar, a good dollar counterfeited. 
 
 Now go on and think there is no sin, commit what 
 is termed a crime, run up against the law of mortal 
 man, and suffer the consequences of wrong doing. 
 Whence comes the suffering, where does it originate 
 but in the consciousness of mortal man? He is con- 
 scious of sin, and he is conscious of sickness and 
 death. The true understanding of man's existence 
 is in and of God. He has eternal life. Life knows 
 no death. 
 
 Wake up, my brother, my sister and put off the 
 old man with his deeds, for the true man of God's 
 creation. 
 
 Before closing my writings I wish to say that my 
 understanding of the scriptures was brought about 
 by my wife's healing in Christian Science, some 24 
 years since, and she has remained practically well 
 since excepting a few minor claims which were met 
 and healed through the understanding of the Truth 
 as revealed in Mrs. Eddy's book, "Science and Health 
 with Key to the Scriptures." 
 
 About 18 years ago I was led to make a study of 
 Mrs. Eddy's book, Science and Health, in connec- 
 tion with my Bible, and received help from prac- 
 titioners, but not a cure. When I earnestly took up 
 Science and Health and a perusal of Christian Sci- 
 ence literature and attended Sunday and midweek 
 services, I began gradually to improve. 
 
 My claims were Rheumatism from the bottoms of 
 my feet to my ears, Catarrh and Bronchial disorders, 
 Kidney, Liver trouble and many other disorders, or

claims. I was a great sufferer for 30 years and had 
 treatment from Doctors of note, all of whom I be- 
 lieve were honest, and tried to do all possible for 
 me. They advised change of climate. I acceded 
 with good result for a time. But would always fall 
 back into the old groove again. Finally, I yielded to 
 the advice of my wife, and of friends and accepted 
 the Truth, and was health. I have now been in the 
 enjoyment of health for about 17 years. 
 
 Thank God, and Mrs. Eddy for opening man's eyes 
 to the light of truth.

Miscellaneous Truths 
 
 When mankind is ruled or governed by the great 
 Principle of Good, Divine Love, he will cast his net 
 on the right side, as the Master counseled the fisher- 
 men to do. The fishermen were obedient and the 
 net was filled. Let mankind be obedient, and his 
 heart will be so filled with Love that he can't think 
 of evil, or entertain hate, malice, envy, jealousy, sick- 
 ness, sin and death or evil of any name. Happiness, 
 happiness, happiness! Our daily life will be filled 
 with joy. We will ever live, and not seem to die, 
 Live to do good and never evil. To think good, and 
 not evil. Evil is that evil thinketh. Good is that 
 good thinketh. You must hold thoughts of harmony. 
 
 ONLY POWER. 
 
 Man must learn that God is the only life. God is 
 eternal. Life is eternal. Mortal man says We 
 can be sick and die. He is not authority. God is 
 authority. 
 
 RIGHT THINKING. 
 
 Man when building a good structure wants a good 
 foundation, not quicksand. So mankind must be 
 governed by good healthy thinking, not its oppo- 
 site, unhealthy thoughts. God is our health, Jesus 
 said "Follow me." He will not give us pain for 
 health, but good for evil. 
 
 The scriptures declare The Lord He is God (good) 
 there is none else beside him. 
 
 99 
 
WRONG THINKING. 
 
 Mankind takes the wrong medicine, applies the 
 wrong thoughts when he thinks he is sick. Take the 
 opposite. Declare the truth, I am well. God made 
 me perfect. No power can take my perfection from 
 me, nor cause me to be sick and die. God is all 
 powerful and I am his child. 
 
 MIND. 
 
 God has created man with a mind which knows no 
 evil. Evil ever seems to have perverted it, and man- 
 kind has accepted the perverted mind as the Truth, 
 and suffers through the effects. When mankind is 
 willing to be ruled by the mind of God, obey the Di- 
 vine Principle of Good, sickness, sin, and death will 
 be no more, and we will live in the kingdom of 
 Heaven. Heaven will be within us; that is within 
 our consciousness. Mortal says he believes the scrip- 
 ture; but he only believes what suits him, more times 
 error than truth. 
 
 HOW TO ALLAY PAIN AND ALL 
 DISEASE. 
 
 To get rid of pain man must look to the Divine 
 Mind to quiet and subdue the mortal carnal mind. 
 Love destroys hate, and good destroys evil. If sick 
 or in pain, apply to the mortal mind good healthy, 
 loving thoughts. As our bodies are governed by 
 mortal thoughts, let the mortal thoughts be gov- 
 erned by the higher loving God thoughts; and peace 
 and harmony will be the result. God's thoughts de- 
 stroy evil ones, as the truth destroys a lie. 
 
 We stop our automobile by shutting off the power 
 and applying the brakes. Shut off the mortal belief 
 of life in matter and apply the Truth. All life is in 
 mind, God.

CAUSE OF SICKNESS. 
 
 Selfishness, jealousy, doubt, fear, malice, revenge, 
 hate, pride, conceit, bigotry, self-will, hypocrisy, 
 irritability, vanity, cowardice, cruelty, avarice, dis- 
 honesty, injustice, human will, poverty, pain, etc., 
 are man's worst enemies. How are they to be put 
 out? By cultivating love. 
 
 THE FATHE&.;'V. 0V 
 
 The master saith No man eometfy upto the Father 
 but by me. Who is the Father? The Bivm- P.-io- 
 ciple of being, Christ. He says I am the way. His 
 way is found in the uplifting thought, not in .debased 
 thought. It is said "Up in Heven," "Down to Hell." 
 Let man cherish happy loving thoughts, and be al- 
 ways lifted heavenward. 
 
 IMAGE AND LIKENESS. 
 
 Can man be God's image and likeness and com- 
 mit all kinds of evil? Can he drink, carouse, be 
 sick, use tobacco? Can a man go about with a pipe 
 or cigarette in his mouth, and call himself the im- 
 age and likeness of God? If so," God must be as bad 
 and vile as that which we call His creation. Then 
 those who do practice these evil devices cannot be His 
 image and likeness. No, my brother, my sister, we 
 are like Him only when we hold thoughts of good, 
 and love, and crush all evil under our feet. See no 
 evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, like the three wise 
 Japanese monkeys. Instead have a heart overflow- 
 ing with love for our fellowman. Put down all jeal- 
 ousy, selfishness, malice, hate, revenge, and know 
 nothing but good, love. Mankind strays away from 
 the principles of right and takes up its so called 
 opposite, and suffers in thought by so doing. Face 
 about and do the right, and wrong will vanish like 
 the dew before the sun. 
 
 101 
 
GOD NOT THE CREATOR OF SIN 
 AND DEATH. 
 
 Could the Divine Principle, God, ever make a mis- 
 take and create evil, sin, and death? No, God, good, 
 is all there is, and He is omnipotent and ornnipres- 
 ept. . No place where He is not; He is Heaven and 
 nc evil can/- he Jovmd in Heaven. The kingdom of 
 Heaven is within us, is in our consciousness, its op- 
 posite. f-v'A cannot exiet. 
 
 Delight thyself also in the Lord and He shall give 
 thee the desires of thine heart. 
 
 Commit thy way unto the Lord, trust also in Him 
 and He shall bring it to pass. 
 
 EVIL A LIE. 
 
 When we speak evil of a brother we speak a lie. 
 Evil is that evil thinketh. Evil does not exist. 
 Truth is, nothing else is. Let us beware lest we con- 
 demn an innocent man. Better suffer a wrong than 
 do a wrong. Paul says "Why will ye not therefore 
 take wrong?" Two wrongs never make a right. We 
 should never permit a brother to knowingly wrong 
 us. Nor should we wrong him. Let us be honest 
 with our fellow-man and with ourselves. Honesty is 
 the best policy. Let man be just. 
 
 Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He 
 teach sinners in the way. Psalm 25. 
 
 V. 19. Consider mine enemies, for they are many, 
 and they hate me with a cruel hatred. 
 
 "Forgive them for they know not what they do." 
 
 Ps. 27, 1. The Lord is my light and my salvation: 
 whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my 
 life, of whom shall I be afraid? 
 
 V. 5. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me 
 in His pavilion. 
 
 102 
 
BLESSED PROMISES. 
 
 V. 14. Wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and 
 He shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say, on 
 the Lord. 
 
 Ps. 37. Trust in the Lord and do good; So shall 
 thou dwell in the land, and verily shalt thou be fed. 
 
 Judge not lest ye be judged. God is the only 
 judge, and His judgment is righteous. Therefore if 
 ye judge, judge righteous judgment. 
 
 GOD THE ONLY CREATOR. 
 
 God's word declares that He made man, male and 
 female in His own image and likeness. And it was 
 good, yea very good. Also that He is spirit, mind, 
 Divine Principle. He created all, and He is All in 
 All. He certainly meant that all He created should 
 be like Himself, good. Can absolute good be found 
 in mortal man? He knows both good and evil, 
 doubleminded unstable, not like God's creation. 
 The Adam man is of the flesh, fleshly. God's man 
 is of spirit, spiritual, mind only, and cannot be sick, 
 suffer and sin. This sickly mortal so called man, is 
 not of God's creation. Yet he seems to exist and 
 p oosees a mind and intelligence. But it is the seem- 
 ing only, not reality. Just look to a higher intelli- 
 gence, God, and let that higher intelligence rule this 
 so called mortal intelligence, and all will be har- 
 mony, peace and health, and God's blessing will be 
 ours. Seek and ye shall find. It is worth seeking; 
 for there is but one power to impart life, that is 
 God. He is not the creator of death. Man knows 
 good from evil, health from sickness, right from 
 wrong. God has no pleasure in the death of the 
 wicked. The great mistake of mankind is that he 
 does not in his mind destroy the thought that sin, 
 sickness and death exist as a reality, but hold to 
 the idea that it is only a belief.

OUR RESURRECTION. 
 
 By an Unknown Writer.

 Into the noble, the pure and the new; 
 Out of all darkness, and sadness and sin, 
 Spiritual harmonies to win,

 Into a calm and perfect life, 
 Out of all hatred and jealous fear 
 Into love's cloudless atmosphere,

 Into a service of loving deeds; 
 Out of a separate limited plan, 
 Into the brotherhood of Man,

 Wisdom and strength for every hour, 
 Out of our doubt and sore dismay 
 Into the faith for which we pray, 
 This is our resurrection.

 Out of poverty's galling chain, 
 Into the freedom of perfect health 
 Into the blessings of fadeless wealth, 
 This is our resurrection.

Out of this fleeting mortal breath, 
 Out of the valley and shadow of death, 
 Into the light of the perfect way, 
 Into the freedom of endless day, 
 This is our resurrection. 
 
 Out of the finite sense of things, 
 Into the joy the Infinite brings, 
 Out of the limits of time and space, 
 Into the boundless life of the race, 
 This is our resurrection.
