In like manner, mortal or finite life
is belief of life in matter, and is
overcome by death; therefore mortal
life is death And from this, we might
say in Bible phraseology, If the life
that is in you be death, how great is
that death. And if the strength that
is in you be weakness, how great is
that weakness. And If the health that
is in you be failure, how great is that
failure.
True health is not in physical man
and material things; but property
and quality of the Eternal Life Prin-
ciple, that is as Interchangeable and in
fallible as the eternal God Himself.
The health that is not liable to sick
ness, that knows no sickness; that
knows only health and wholeness and
perfect security in its healthfulness.
This property and quality of health
must be, and is expressed in every liv-
ing thing; hence the absurdity of the
theory that man, the highest and full
est representative Of divine Life and
health, must rob, or seek to rob, the
plants and insects Of their health, to
repair or restore his own; for man,
the true man, already by inheritance,
must be in possession of more health
than all things else beside.
True strength is not so-called physi-
cal strength, which over-eXerts itself
and gives way to weakness, and there
fore is weakness; but it is a property
and quality Of eternal Truth, that
knows no weakness and needs no exer-
tion or effort to maintain its own
steadfastness. 1t stands unmoved and
unshaken, and without an effort, on
the foundation of itself as a simple
fact that cannot be denied.
Consult your own reason and ask
Did one and one ever try to be two?
Did it ever make an effort to vindicate
itself, and if it had would it not there
by have shown weakness? Does not
its great strength, then, lie in the fact
that it Is fact, and cannot be denied?

will destroy all error will vanquisn
every foe,
Truth is first, and can result In notn
ing but harmony.
Sin, sickness, sorrow, pain and
death are discords and not the truth
of being Of which to know the truth, ls
to be freed from their giant grasp
There is no truth in sin; that is,
there Is no truth in the thought that
prompts the action, hence no reality
and that which is unreal Is false, and
Is therefore nothing. 1t Is mistaken
belief that must be destroyed through
suffering or Science; the overt act Is
not the greater wrong 1t is for the
thought that prompts the deed that
we must pay the debt
There is no line Of demarcation be-
tween the so-called saint and sinner
Each and all are pursuing a bauble OF
more or less selfishness. Diogenes
with his lantern, searching for an hon
est man, would look into every human
heart and pass him by. "There is none
that doeth good, no, not one"
"You can do nothing against the
truth" This is the grand lesson that
all must sooner or later learn, name
Ily, that all must come to Truth at last.
The hard road is by the way Of suffer-
ing and experience; the easier way is
through searching and acceptance, God
is omnlpotent, for God is Truth, and
Truth must overcome all evil,
Every knee (of error) shall bow"
to Christ, Truth.
No one may think to escape the pen
alty due for sin; each must pay the ut
termost farthing, be he so-called saint
OF sinner. Every one must suffer un-
I'll his belief in evil is destroyed, and
he will through choice desire to be
led by unchanging Truth and unself-
ish Love.
God IS not Knocked; for whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall he also reap"
Evil brings its own reward If you SOW
to the flesh you shall Of the flesh reap
corruption"
Disease is discord, the seeming alb
sense Of ease that comes Of sowing to
the flesh; it is a ghost, a phantom
thought that comes fitting along in
the fertile soil Of fear, begotten Of ig-
norance the discordant seed takes
root, Instead Of turning upon it and
correcting it in embryo, we fear and
run before it, until It grows to be a
mighty monster; and still we think II
real, and still we run and still II
grows, when all we need to do is to
turn and face the ghost with the fam
ing sword Of Truth, and soon it will
shrink to nothingness.
Pathology is another theory like the
old one Of the earth and It's founda-
tions
The earth was supposed to stand
upon a pedestal, and that upon some
thing else, and that upon something
else, and they never found the ultl.
mate something else.
Now pathology always flies from
this cause to that cause, and from that
cause to the other cause; and they
never find the primal or ultimate cause
of any disease.
Finite sense begins with the appear
ance, in the evidence Of the senses
and tries to reach a fundamental prln-
ciple.
Evolution has reached to proto.
plasm. Pathology has gone as far as
bacteria; but it is still an open ques,

germ. Whether the germ causes the

Truth the Only Medicine.

And materia medica must follow in
its wake; for, since disease is nothing,
there can be no medicine to heal 1t eX-
cept the medicine of Truth, that proves
the nothingness Of disease.
Matter has no intelligence, drugs
cannot direct themselves; they cannot
say | will go to the lungs, or l will
work upon the blood, or l upon the
nerves, or l upon the glandular tissue.
They have no intelligence to direct
themselves; it is simply your faith and
the faith of those around you, mixed
with the faith of ages, that seems to
do the work.
The surgical world, finding drugs a
failure in the healing art, has gone
mad over amputation and operation
Christian Science has come to the
world, and eventually will perform
both these wonders For the science
of life, from its very nature, must
overcome all evil, both cause and ef-
feet, both disease and its so-called
physical cure.
If you are depending upon the mate
rial body, or any part of the body, or
any condition of any part of the body
or any other material thing for life
or health, or strength, or happiness,
then you have another god beside the
one God, You are putting dependence
where there is no dependence; you are
leaning upon a broken reed. You are
sowing to the flesh; you are laying up
treasures upon the earth, and the
moth and rust Of discord and disease
will creep in and take that treasure
away.

No Foundation in Matter.

Beginning with matter we have nc
foundation. Matter cannot see, hear
speak, or have sensation, Matter can
not originate Mind, nor dwell in Mind
for 1t Is the opposite Of Mind. Non
Intelligence cannot become lntelli-
gent.
Christian Science comes separating
the gold from the dross, the wheat
from the chaff. Separating Mind from
matter, the Spirit from the flesh, NOR
tally from Immortality, the true from
the false, the right from the wrong
that which is from that which is not
Spirit Is God, the one only good
who Is Life, Truth, Love, intelligence
Soul, substance, infinite, eternal, ON
nisclent, omnipotent, and omnipres-
ent. You can not get over, around
under or through; but "In him we
live, and move, and have our being,
1t Is God who formed the great law
which framed, controls, and governs
the spiritual universe and holds the
planets in their course. Existing in
yonder boundless space, yet instant
here with us,
Expressed in your consciousness
yet instant here in mine. 'Tis the still
small voice forever coming to us in
thought. 'Tis the pure river Of water
Of Life, clear as the fountain is, un-
sullIed in the stream "Taking no
taint from touch of human lips, at
best impure"
Spirit never mlngles with matter
As we cease to depend upon matter
and learn to depend upon Spirit we
become moro and more harmonious.
For we live where our thoughts are
and reflect a body according to our
thought, and our harmonious thoughts
will reflect an harmonious body.
What a never-faillng fount Of
strength Is this compared with a be.
lief of strength in a muscle. What
an lnexhaustible storehouse of wis
dom and intelligence compared with
dependence upon a material brain,
which, forsooth, may be too large, too
small, or Of too poor material What
an all-supporting and sustaining Prin-
ciple upon which to lean for life and
health compared with a dependence
upon liver, lungs, stomach, blood air
exercise, material drugs, or material
food.

disease or the disease produces the
germ; and this question never can be
answered, only as 1t is answered in
Christian Science; that proves con-
clusively that neither the disease nor
the germ is true, that both are false.
And since the premise is false the
conclusion must also be false. From
nothing it came, and to nothing 1t
must return.
