he failed to get the right answer, condemn the pupil [1] and the science of numbers. The simplest problem in Christian Science is healing the sick, and the least understanding and demonstration thereof prove all its possibilities. The ability to demonstrate to the extent [5] that Jesus did, will come when the student possesses as much of the divine Spirit as he shared, and utilizes its power to overcome sin. Opposite to good, is the universal claim of evil that seeks the proportions of good. There may be those [10] who, having learned the power of the unspoken thought, use it to harm rather than to heal, and who are using that power against Christian Scientists. This giant sin is the sin against the Holy Ghost spoken of in Matt. xii. 31, 32. [15] _Is Christian Science based on the facts of both Spirit_ _and matter?_ Christian Science is based on the facts of Spirit and its forms and representations, but these facts are the direct antipodes of the so-called facts of matter; and [20] the eternal verities of Spirit assert themselves over their opposite, or matter, in the final destruction of all that is unlike Spirit. Man knows that he can have one God only, when he regards God as the only Mind, Life, and substance. [25] If God is Spirit, as the Scriptures declare, and All-in- all, matter is mythology, and its laws are mortal beliefs. If Mind is in matter and beneath a skull bone, it is in something unlike Him; hence it is either a godless and [30] material Mind, or it is God in matter,—which are theo- [Page 56.] ries of agnosticism and pantheism, the very antipodes [1] of Christian Science _What is organic life?_ Life is inorganic, infinite Spirit; if Life, or Spirit, were organic, disorganization would destroy Spirit and [5] annihilate man. If Mind is not substance, form, and tangibility, God is substanceless; for the substance of Spirit is divine Mind. Life is God, the only creator, and Life is im- mortal Mind, not matter. [10] Every indication of matter’s constituting life is mortal, the direct opposite of immortal Life, and infringes the rights of Spirit. Then, to conclude that Spirit consti- tutes or ever has constituted laws to that effect, is a mor- tal error, a human conception opposed to the divine [15] government. Mind and matter mingling in perpetual warfare is a kingdom divided against itself, that shall be brought to desolation. The final destruction of this false belief in matter will appear at the full revelation of Spirit,—one God, and the brotherhood of man. [20] Organic life is an error of statement that Truth destroys. The Science of Life needs only to be understood; its dem- onstration proves the correctness of my statements, and brings blessings infinite. _Why did God command, __“__Be fruitful, and multiply,_ [25] _and replenish the earth,__”__ if all minds (men) have existed_ _from the beginning, and have had successive stages of_ _existence to the present time?_
