"Come over and talk to Kate, then," said Jake. "She has taken up with it and it is ruining her. Please come over and talk with her about it. We must have help." "All right, I will come," answered Robert. On the next evening Robert found time to go, and soon he and Kate were talking on Christian Science while Jake and the others listened. "Now, I will read from Science and Health," said Robert. "See if you can understand it. See if it does not make you feel like scratching your head in order to help to comprehend it. 'What is man? Answer--Man is not matter, he is not made up of brain, blood, bones, and other material elements. The Scriptures inform us that man is made in the image and likeness of God. Matter is not that likeness. The likeness of Spirit cannot be so unlike Spirit. Man is spiritual and perfect.... Man is incapable of sin, sickness, and death. The real man cannot depart from holiness, nor can God, by whom man is evolved, engender the capacity or freedom to sin' (page 475). Can you understand that?" "For the life of me, I can't," said Jake, but, of course Jake could not be expected to understand it, thought Kate. "Now, here is another. 'Therefore the only reality of sin, sickness, or death is the awful fact that unrealities seem real to human, erring belief, until God strips off their disguise. They are not true, because they are not of God. We learn in Christian Science that all inharmony of mortal mind and body is illusion.' Again, 'Sin, sickness, and death are to be classified as effects of error' (pages 472 and 473)" read Robert. "I wonder what I am made of," said Jake's boy, John, "if I have no brain, blood, or bones. When the bay filly threw me last winter and broke my arm I thought I was part bone. And a lot of blood ran from my foot the time I cut it with the ax, at least they called it blood." "Now, let us get Mrs. Eddy's definition of God," said Robert. "'What is God? Answer--God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love.'" "Let us notice her definition of Mind," continued Robert. "'Mind is God,' she says. Let us draw forth some of the Christian Science principles and stand them up for inspection. "1. Man is not matter; he has not brains, blood, or bones. "2. Man is incapable of sin. "3. Man is incapable of sickness. "4. Man is incapable of death. "5. Sin, sickness, and death are errors. "6. God is Mind, Principle. "7. Mind is God. "8. Sickness is a dream. "9. Sickness, sin, and death are 'mortal dreams.' "10. 'There is no disease' (Science and Health, p. 421). "11. 'Death is the illusion' (Science and Health, p. 428). "Now, over and against these statements of Christian Science, let us place the immutable Word of God. "1. Man is not matter; he is not brains, blood, or bones.
