"Whlle we look not at the things
which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen; for the things
which are seen are temporal; but the
things which are not seen are eter-
nal" Corinthians iy:1S.
Metaphysics is derived from two
Greek words, "meta," over, above, or
beyond; and "phusicos," physical, sig
nlfies over, beyond, or above the
physical.
In true metaphysics Christian Sci
ence all is Mind there Is no physical,
no material, no matter And the So
called science Of physics has no part
with the science Of metaphysics. Be
ginning with matter all Is matter,
there Is no mind; beginning with
mind all Is mind, there Is no matter.
There Is nothing that Mind does not
evolve, govern, and control Mind is
Spirit and everything that Spirit Gre
ates Is like itself, spiritual and not
material, TO Spirit there Is no mat
ter all is Spirit.
The finite, limited, or material
sense would reveal all things as ma
terial; and would have life substance
and intelligence in the object While
the spiritual or unlimited sense the
scientific understanding, reveals the
spiritual to be the real and the mater
ial the unreal
This material universe Is merely the
letter and not the true idea. Wipe
out or eliminate this material uni
verse and man. and the true man, the
true expression of God, still remains,
and will forever remain, and Is no
more subject to change or annlhlla-
tlon that is God, the infinite Princi-
pie, in whom man lives, upon whom
he depends and whom he represents
And to find man. the true, man, is not
30 study the letter, or the physical
man, 30 called, but to study the Prln-
ciple the character Of God BY so do
ing we grow into the consciousness
or realization Of our relation to God,
which Is the divine atonement or at
onement with the Father; hay
Ing no other Life, no other intelll-
gence but God the divine Principle,
Nothing Ever Lost.
Nothing that He has made can ever
be lost,
The spire Of grass that carpets the
green meadow,
The cactus eking out life on the
parched and sandy desert.
The llchen on the highest rock that
decks the lofty mountain.
Or seaweed in the deepest depths Of
yonder rolling ocean.
The flower that blossoms in the vale
or waves upon the summit of some
monarch Of the wood
The tree that grows in sheltered
nook or deeper, denser forests
The insect that fits, or the worm
that crawls, or the serpent with his
cunning
The bird that MARBLES in the grove
or scars in ether blue
The fish that swims in brook or rlll,
or broader, deeper water,
The beast that roams the pralrlos
FREQ or couches in the Jungle
The constellation or star in all
that vast nflnity
And man, the consummation and
combination Of all His handlwork.
All, each in their true spiritual be-
ing, have their place in the infinite
Mind For anything less than an in
finite expression would make God less
than infinite In entity,
God the infinite intelligence, will
never lose sight Of aught that lie has
made, and all He made was good
by studying the true Principle we
will be able to find the true solution
Of each and every problem; and each
gu It's true character will be found
harmonious, pure, and perfect,
The lion shall lie down with the
lamb, and "a little child shall lead
them" Already we begin to find that
against innocence and rearlessness
the rangs Of the serpent are not
raised "They shall take up serpents;
and r they drink any deadly thing,
