lief, with It's testimony Of life, sub
stance and intelligence in matter, has
been accepted, and humanity has not
exercised the dominion Of Mind, the
! Christ-mind power over the carnal
senses, truth over error, good over
evil, life over death and love over
fear.
The Quaker poet says:
THE riddle OF tho world is understood
Only by him who feels that God is good,
AS only he can feel who makes his love
| The ladder of his faith, and climbs
From sense to SOUL and draws no line
Between mere human goodness and
divine,
And judging God by what in man Is
best
With child's trust, leans on fathers
breast"
Solomon, with childlike trust, asked
God Tor wisdom and understanding.
The divine Mind Is understanding, IN
telllgencc, wisdom, the creator, the
Principle Of being, In which are all
conceptions Of beauty and utility.
In the beginning was the "Word"
the divine Mind, supreme intelligence,
or creative force, God, good, who ere
ated the heavens and the earth. He
spoke all things into existence. lie
said, LET there be light; and there
was light He commanded, Let there
be beasts, birds, fish, and fowl, and
they appeared. He said, LET the earth
bring forth grass, the herb yielding
seed, whose seed is in ITSELF"
and 1t was expressed, ,-phenomena ap-
peared. The seed Is the creative power
Of Mind. 1.-THE tree and herb do not
yield fruit because Of any propagating
power OF their own" says Mrs. Eddy,
IN Science and Health, page 5O7, but
because they reflect the Mind which
includes all" Infinite Mind expresses
and controls all ideas composing the
universe. From the llmitless. mex
haustible resources Of Mind, Spirit. or
understanding, all phenomena of earth
and heaven proceed and are manifest
| Minds Ideas see, feel, hear, taste, and
smell. The Psalmist says, 80 taste
and see that the Lord IMlnd, God] is
good" Trust in Mind, not In matter
Be led by God, Mind, Spirit, the crea.
tive Principle, Life, Truth, Love, and
lean not to belief In a so-callcd mortal
mind.
Solomon said to his son:
In all thy ways acknowledge
Him [Godl, and He shall direct
thy paths SO shall thy barns be
filed with plenty Happy Is
the man that fndeth wisdom,
and the man that getteth under
standing. She Is more pre-
cious than rubies: and all the
things thou canst desire are not to-
be compared unto her Length Of
days Is In her right hand, and in
her left hand riches and honor.
Her ways are ways OF pleasant
ness, and all her paths are peace
She Is a tree Of life to them that
lay hold upon her: and happy is
keep sound wisdom and discretion.
Then shalt thou walk in thy
way safely, and thy foot shall not
stumble.
",Ihy foot shall not stumble" What
Il promise! 1t is equivalent to saying,
All that thou dost undertake thou
shalt accomplish. In the understand
ing OF the power Of the Christ mind,
governed by Life, Truth and Love, our
ways are pleasant, and our paths are
peace. There is length Of days in the
Life thought, and longevity is In
creased by the reflection Of Truth and
Love the eternal Principle of being.
FROM the real, the divine prlnciplc.
Life, Love, and Truth, the Christ-miud
solomon brought forth the treasures
OF wisdom and understanding. The
expression Of harmonious Intelligence
and its creations was variously mani
tested in silver and gold. wood and
stone, brass and iron. His barns were
indeed filled with plenty.
