The ancients worshipped gods oi
wood and stone. Moderns worship
matter. Scholastic theology has
taught for centuries that Adam is
the real man, with life and intelli-
genee. Materia medica has vainly
striven to preserve that belief of life
in matter, and to treat non-intelli-
gent matter. only to yield to inevit-
able defeat and death.
Since time began. mortaIs have
been experimenting with Adam, and
the world has lavished its resources
upon material theology and materia
medica, to aid them in solving the
problem of life in matter. Adam
has been studied under the .keenest
microscope of mental and physical
analysis and the verdict is the same
as in the days of prophets and
apostles. In Adam all die" Illu-
sions are not permanent. They
come and go like the wind which
"bloweth where it listeth, and thou
. eanst not tell whence it
cometh, and whittier it goeth." So
are the creations of the Adam
dream.
There is no life in the shadow
which vanishes in the light. 1t is
now that we are listening to the
voice of wisdom. "a crown OF
glory shall she deliver to thee
Take fast hold of instruction
for she is thy life" proverbs iv.
9, 13). We are now learning the
power of Mind and that thoughts
are things and things are thoughts
Now we are learning the cause OF
sickness, diseord and death. The
Christ-mind is wisdom and under
standing-it is health and harmony.
The carnal mind is the lie, and from
it proceed envy, jealousy, pride, am
bition, lust, hatred, deception, and
fear, which cause disease and death,
ali of which are beliefs-nothing-
ness.
Christ Jesus said of the carnal
mind: "Ye are of your father the
devil, and the lusts of your father
ye will do. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and abode not
in the truth, because there is no
truth in him. When he speaketh a
lie, he speaketh Of his own: for he
is a liar, and the father of it." Oohn
viii, ~.
These forces, if believed and
Welded to, evolve a discordant body
and a discordant universe.
At first Solomon asked to be con-
trolled by the Christ-mind, and the
result was harmony in all his under
takings. When building his house
upon Mount Zion, and the house of
the Lord upon Mount Moriah, the
wav was covered through which he
walked in going from one to the
