At this date, poor jaded humanity needs to get her eyes open to a new style of imposition in the field of medicine and of religion, and to “beware of the leaven of the scribes and Pharisees,” the doctrines of men, even as Jesus admonished. From first to last, evil insists on [20] the unity of good and evil as the purpose of God; and on drugs, electricity, and animal magnetism as modes of medicine. To a greater or less extent, all mortal conclusions start from this false premise, and they necessarily culminate in sickness, sin, disease, and death. [25] Erroneous doctrines never have abated and never will abate dishonesty, self-will, envy, and lust. To destroy sin and its sequence, is the office of Christ, Truth,—ac- cording to His mode of Christian Science; and this is being done daily. [30] The false theories whose names are legion, gilded with sophistry and what Jesus had not, namely, mere book- [Page 367.] learning,—letter without law, gospel, or demonstration, [1] —have no place in Christian Science. This Science re- quires man to be honest, just, pure; to love his neighbor as himself, and to love God supremely. Matter and evil are subjective states of error or mortal [5] mind. But Mind is immortal; and the fact of there being no mortal mind, exposes the lie of suppositional evil, showing that error is not Mind, substance, or Life. Thus, whatever is wrongfully-minded will dis- appear in the proportion that Science is understood, [10] and the reality of being—goodness and harmony—is demonstrated. Error says that knowing all things implies the neces- sity of knowing evil, that it dishonors God to claim that He is ignorant of anything; but God says of this fruit [15] of the tree of knowledge of _both_ good and evil, “In the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die.” If God is infinite good, He knows nothing but good; if He did know aught else, He would not be infinite. Infinite Mind knows nothing beyond Himself or Herself. To [20] good, evil is never present; for evil is a different state of consciousness. It was not against evil, but against _know-_ _ing_ evil, that God forewarned. He dwelleth in light; and in the light He sees light, and cannot see darkness. The opposite conclusion, that darkness dwelleth in light, [25] has neither precedent nor foundation in nature, in logic, or in the character of Christ. The senses would say that whatever saves from sin, must know sin. Truth replies that God is too pure to behold iniquity; and by virtue of His ignorance of [30] that which is not, He knoweth that which _is_, and abideth in Himself, the only Life, Truth, and Love, [Page 368.] —and is reflected by a universe in His own image [1] and likeness. Even so, Father, let the light that shineth in dark- ness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not, dispel this illusion of the senses, open the eyes of the blind, and cause [5] the deaf to hear.
