death were the victor and Life the
vanqulshed then all were death, there
would be no Life. And If Truth could
result in error, then error were the
victor and Truth the vanqulshed; then
all would be error, there would be no
Truth.
And yet, as long as there is some
thing, there will be nothing; but there
Is no nothing, for everything that real
ly is, is something; and something
will never become nothing,
The Positive Real, the Negative I'm
real.
Again, as long as there is the posi-
tive, there will be the negative; and
yet there Is no negative for every
thing that really is, is positive. And
by virtue Of the fact that the positive
Is, the negative cannot be. Hence, we
must conclude that something Is the
real, and nothing the unreal, The
positive the real, the negative the un-
real.
Truth the real error the unreal.
Love the real, hate the unreal.
Life the real, and death the unreal.
Harmony the real, dlscord the un-
real.
Spirit the real, and flesh the unreal.
"For the flesh lusteth against the
Spirit, and the Spirit against the
flesh; and these are contrary the one
to the other One Is, and the other
is not, but only seems to finite sense
to be.
Did God then make the mortal to
war against the Spiritual? All He
made was good, and must therefore be
harmonious. God never made NOR
tality; He could not, for there is no
mortality in Him, and all that we have
and are comes from Him.
Mortality is a myth: It's the delu-
sion Of the senses. "The carnal mind
is enmlty against Cod" The carnal
mind is the mortal mind the negative
mind or beliefs that rest upon appear
ances.
We appear TO have sensation in a
nerve and strength in a muscle. To
have life in the body and intelligence
in the brain; but Science proves that
appearances to be false.
Finite sense made time, God made
eternity, According to Christian Sci
ence we are in eternity now, there is
no time. When we begin to realize the
idea Of eternity we begin to lose the
idea Of time. The angel of Truth that
John saw, is standing today, with one
foot upon the sea, and the other upon
the land, and proclaiming with a loud
voice that time shall be no more.
Error makes the future and the
past. God makes the present. To
finite sense there Is no present; all is
past or future. The instant you have
said now, 1t is already in the past. To
God there is no past or future; but
one eternal now. All that really is true
is an ever-present fact.
There is in Truth no future hell or
heaven.
Heaven the Reign OF Harmany.
Heaven, harmony, is inevitable; 1t
Is the primal and ultimate fact of be-
ing. 1t is the ever-present reality Of
being; and its opposite, hell, is not
a reality, either present, past, or fu-
ture.
II error cannot get you to fear a
future hell, 1t will strive to get you to
hope for future heaven. Any way at
all to keep you from working in the
present time, and getting all the heav-
en- that Is for you now, which one can
begin to see and realize as soon as he
stops looking at the future and begins
to study the present.
Let your heaven be renewed each
day. each hour and the future will
take care of itself. And you never can
enjoy any more heaven than you are
capable of enjoying in the present
time.
Heaven is the reign of harmony: and
there is no fear in harmony Har-
mony Is heaven, and fear is torment;
and the fear that is torment will never
lead you into the harmony that Is
heaven. The harmony that is heaven
will never be realized while the fear
of hell remains.
Perfect Love gives perfect conf
dence; hence Love brings harmony,
and There is no fear in love; but per-
feet love casteth out fear, 4. e., per-
feet Love will not admit fear
The man who does not steal because
he fears hte law is a thief at heart
and a coward He who does the right
for hope of heaven or fear Of hell, is a
whited sepulcher and canot receive
the reward of the righteous for Love
must prompt the action, and Truth
must lead the way.
