able to produce marvellous inventions yet has not freed itself from belief in matter, hence. from the hindrance of friction; and as the apostle James de- clared, "Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all"
 Since motion is the expression of thought, it must be found, in its real ity. in Mind, divine Principle. The law of motion is a spiritual law, and a mans capacities are enlarged and freed from the friction of materiality proportionably as he understands this truth. Spiritual motion is obviously not manifested through matter or in material motion. It expresses, through spiritual activity, the omnipOtence of ceaselessly operative Principle. In di
 vine reality. where every idea abides in and is controlled by its Principle, il is impossible for one idea to conflict with another. All ideas move togsxEer in harmonious interre1ationS, because they are all alike subject 10 Principle. When a man begins to understand this eternal truth, he is able to demon strate his understanding in an applj~ cation of it to his human affairs. over coming the friction of material belief, and to realize the freedom, harmony and fruition of motion under the con trol of Principle. Mind demonstrates omnipreSence and omnipotence," Mrs
 Eddy writes on pages S8 and 89 of "Retrospection and Introspection," "but Mind revolves on a spiritual axis, and it's power is displayed and it's presence felt in eternal stiffness and immov- able Love. The divine potency of this spiritual mode of Mind and the hin- drance opposed to it by material mo- tion, is proven beyond doubt in the practice of Mind -healing.
 What the search for the law of mo-
 tion amounts to is really a search for knowledge of the will of God, the har- monious control of divine Principle. If men would awake to realize this fact and would endeavor to understand and to obey Gods will or law, they would
 find harmony increasingly manifested l in their lives and affairs. Mortals nevertheless seem stubbornly and blindly to prefer their own wills and to seek in matter for the objects of their desire; so, they prolong in their experience the frictions and failures of materiality. That which is mortal cannot conform to Principle; it dis appears as the immortal is revealed, and this explains why the mortal con- tests the immortal, and the unreal strives against the real. Mortals do
 not lose anything that is good by sub
 hitting themselves to the will of God 1 because Principle preserves all that is good. They lose only the material thought that produces friction and 1 find, instead. mans real identity nov l Principle.
