GOOD AND EVIL MENTAL
I'm the consideration of Christian
Science 1t is absolutely essential to
the nature of good and |
evil and to be able to distinguish be- |
tween that which is intrinscally good
and that which presents merely the |
appearance of good.
Human laws have been devised for |
the protection Of individuals as units |
in the commonwealth. Some of these |
laws are of ancient origin; so much |
so, that mankind has no knowledge |
Of their source except that they are
founded upon usuages and customs
which have prevailed 80 long that the
memory of man runneth not to the
These laws like all others,
are based upon the theory that there
Is a supreme, sovereign power with

IS right and prohibiting that which

ated by the human desire 70 rise
