TT Is said that The success OF
counterfeiiers of money is due
- not so much 10 The excellence
OF their work as to general public
ignorance. Likewise, mankind ac-
cepts the fraudulent pictures Of
material sense with IFS fieeting
pleasures and false pains, not be-
cause these pictures are good and
desirable, but because men are
ignorant OF the JOY, beauty. and
permanence OF spiritual reality.

not true about Gods creation,

tells us in the first chapter Of Gem

more that God saw every thing
