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, 1.-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 pcarly
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 tlowers-ln their multitudinous
form, color, and perfume. All that we
have called nature IS but Mind mani
fest in objects, from the inhnltesimal
to the infinite. '0The seed Is in itself
only as the divine Mind IS All"
(Scicnce and Health, p. 50S), and
produces all phenomena. Human be-
lief reverscs all things.
Mrs. Eddy declares, "Allnd Is the
multiplier, and Minds infinite idea,
man and the universe, is the product.
The only intelligence or substance of
thought, seed, or q flower Is God,
the creator of it, (Scicnce and Health,
p. 5OS). Mind had brought to Solo
mon all his eye witnessed. At times
he had risen to the pinnacle Of his
human receptlvlty of Truth. Another
step had to be taken toward his spirit
ual dominion under the law Of God,
which required more humility. Per
sonal sense, pride Of acquisition and
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 posslbili-
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. lie was
tempted by pride Of place and power
and dropped back into the world of
material sense. Divine wisdom fled,
leaving him with his material carnal
senses to create their false Elusive
phenomena, which should turn to dust
and ashes at his touch. The so-callel
carnal mind is composed Of fears, a
spectral bandof doubts, anxiety.
sickness, sorrow and DEATH All its
conceptions are phantoms unreal and
feetlng Humanity must turn from
the mortal sense Of life In matter, to
the understanding OF life In Mind and
there abide, If 1t would continue to
receive Gods blessings. If cause is
right the right effect will follow Nor
tails must discontinue false thinking.
which evolves discoru 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.
Wisdom and understanding proceed
from the Christ-mlnd, and spiritual
man Is q reflection of God, made in
His own image and likeness, with
dominion over oil things. Jesus the
Christ realized his oneness with the
| Father, and said Of his disciples that
they may be one with the Fathcr]
as we are" He exercised his God
thought and knew that there was no
intelligence, life or power In matter
He took dominion over the lie, and
destroyed the works Of error-sin,
sickness and death
AS wisdom or spiritual thought ap-
pcarcd to Solomon With her riches of
infinite beauty, power and glory, which
we're dlVlner conceptions than had vet
been revealed to him. so she appeared
to Jesus and he testified, THE queen
Of the south shall rise up IN the .iudg-
mcnt With this generation, and shall
condemn IT. (Matt xl., 42). Paul
wrote "Tor 1t Is written. will de-
stroy the wisdom Of the wise and will
bring to nothing the understanding Of
tho prudent hath not God
made foolish the wisdom of this
world?"
