DERIVING all reality is good: hence all
forms Of evil are transient and false
conceptions.

all reality, that is quite different from
any theory, which says, 'All is good,
and then tries to associate evil with
reality by calling it the minister of
good. so that the all Of sense. a con-
glomerate of good and evil. may be
NAMED good. Nor is the theory either
Christian or scientific which fippant-
ly, says there is no evil without any
examination of the claims of evil. or
contest with them: for this also makes
men become the servants of evil in the
name OF good. When one scientifically
declares Good is all, he must face the
arrogant ana imp0rtunate claims of
evil and overcome them. lie must sci
entifically explore the qualifications Of
false believing and Of false teaching
whereby gOdlessness is rooted in the
minds of men and must uproot every
plant that the heavenly Father hath
not planted. He must be Christian
