strange Gods. Mortal thought, or be-
lief, with its testimony of life, sub
stance and intelligence in matter, has
been accepted, and humanity mas not
exercised the dominion Of Mind, the
Christ-mind power over the carnai
senses, truth over error, good over
evil, life over death and love over
fear.
The Quaker poet says:
The riddle of the 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 a childs trust, leans on a fathers
breast"
Solomon, with childlike trust, asked
God for wisdom and understanding.
The divine Mind is understanding, in
telligence, 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 Gre
ated the heavens and the earth. He
spoke all things into existence. He
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 it was expressed, d,-phenomena ap-
peared. The seed is the creative power
of Mind. "The tree and herb do not
yield fruit because of any propagating
power of their own" says Mrs. Eddy,
in Science and Health, page 507, but
includes ALL" Infinite Mind expresses
and controls all ideas composing the
universe. From the limitless, 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, so taste
and see that the Lord Mind, 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-called 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 findeth 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 tree of life to them that
lay hold upon her: and happy is
every one that retaineth her.
keep sound wisdom and discretion.
Then shalt thou walk in thy
way safely, and thy foot shall not
stumble.
"Thy foot shall not stumble" What
a 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 Principle,
Life, Love, and Truth, the Christ-mlnd,
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 filed with plenty.
He proved that mo good thing does
God withhold from them that walk
uprightly"-love Him--trust Him
David, his Father, had prepared much
Of the way for his son, but 1t required
peace and not conflict to build for
God. During the war Of the material
senses David had conquered many
enemies. doubts and fears, self
love, self-will, and self-righteousness
He had not recognized his pride Of
human knowledge and limited human
resources. till Gods wisdom and
power shone into his consciousness
and he perceived the inexhaustible
wealth Of divine Mind Visions of
