spiritual divine guidance, he continued
to increase in wisdom and riches,
peace, plenty, honor and power.
Infinite Mind governs all ideas which
compose the spiritual universe, and
there is no other real universe, for
God and all that He created was pro-
nOunced good" Jesus said THE
Kingdom of God is within you" Mind
evolves mental pictures, from the
landscape of living green to the noun
tains towering against the sky of
purest blue, over which float pearly
clouds. Thought evolves the tint of
pink, purple, silver, pearl, ETC., to-
gether with the setting of the sun in
red and amber. Thought Is expressed
in fowers-in their multitudinous
form, color, and perfume. All that we
have called nature is but Mind mani
fest in objects, from the infinitesimal
to the infinite. 1.-The seed is in itself
only as the divine Mind is All
(Science and Health, p. 5OS), and
produces all phenomena. Human be-
lief reverses all things.
Mrs. Eddy declares, mind is the
multipler, and Minds infinite idea

The only intelligence or substance of
a thought, seed, or q flower is God,
the creator of it" (Science and HedHh,
y. 5OS). Mind had brought to Solo
mon all his eye witnessed. At times
he had risen to the pinnacle of his
human receptivity of Truth. Another
step had to be taken toward his spirit
ual dominion under the law of God,
which required more humility. FER
sonal sense, pride of acquisition ana
vanity of his marvellous possessions
had dazzled him, and he turned from
his reliance upon God TO material
sense, which prevented the greater
illumination of Mind and its possibill-
ties. Divine Love, represented IN the
Scripture as the Queen of Sheba,
came TO his consciousness to reveal
her infinite riches and power, beyond
all that Solomon had heretofore con
ceived. But, weighed in the balance.
Solomon was found wanting and She
vanished from his presence. He was
tempted by pride of place and power
and dropped back into the world OF
material sense. Divine wisdom fed,
leaving him with his material carnal
senses to create their false illusive
phenomena, which should turn to dust
and ashes at his touch. The so-called
carnal mind Is composed of fears, a
spectral band-of doubts, anxiety.
sickness. sorrow and death. All its
conceptions are phantoms, unreal and
fleeting. Humanity must turn from
the mortal sense of life in matter, to
the understanding of life in Mind and
there abide, IL it would continue to
receive Gods blessings. If cause is
right the right effect will follow. Nor
tails must discontinue false thinking,
which evolves discord and death.
These are dreams which, as mortals
awake to Truth. wisdom and under
standing destroy.
At first, Solomon asked for wisdom
TO Judge between good and bad, and
God governed his thought. A har-
monious cause produces harmonious
effect. Thought is force. Spiritual
thought is dynamic force carrying
life and love into human hearts. Mind
is the creative Principle, the supreme
divine intelligence. There is but one
Mind, or cause, God. This is the
fountain of eternal Life.
