stand spiritual law and the Principle
which operates in Christian healing.
One cause for this dimculty ID the
failure to apprehend the relationship
between the inner world Of thought
and the outer world Of phenomena and
thus to grasp the mental nature Of q.
istence. This In due mainly to the
prevailing belief In matter. which 10
conceded to be The greatest stumbling
block to an understanding Of Christian
healing and to belief In the Bible itself.
From the physical standpoint. mat.
ter is seen to be the appearance. q.
ternalization or projection Of force or
energy. and consequently what We
touch. hear. see. smell. or taste. 10 In
fact. force. In every case II 10 not
matter or an object which cosnisss or

experienced In consciousness. We are
conscious Of existence mentally and
the things We are conscious Of ere

lag Of the mind. - st. Paul puts Il
The universe which 10 created and
forever sustained BY God. must b like
lis Creator, since like besets like:
hence man. the real man. a. defined In
the nrst chapter Of 0enesis. u not ma

evil. but good: not mortal. but immor.

aicntly whatever has not these quail.
ties Ia no part Of Truth. not real.
Hence. matter. mortal mind and al the
phenomena Of material sense, being
unlike this divine reality. are unreal.
On this basis Of INFINITE Truth W are
enabled to distinguish at any time b.
tween what IL absolute. divine. real:
and what ID relative. human. unreal.
This understanding. the perception
and apprehension Of divine Truth.
