“Thou shalt not commit adultery;” in other words, [5] thou shalt not adulterate Life, Truth, or Love,—men- tally, morally, or physically. “Thou shalt not steal;” that is, thou shalt not rob man of money, which is but trash, compared with his rights of mind and character. “Thou shalt not kill;” that is, thou shalt not strike at the [10] eternal sense of Life with a malicious aim, but shalt know that by doing thus thine own sense of Life shall be forfeited. “Thou shalt not bear false witness;” that is, thou shalt not utter a lie, either mentally or audibly, nor cause it to be thought. Obedience to these command- [15] ments is indispensable to health, happiness, and length of days. The gospel of healing demonstrates the law of Love. Justice uncovers sin of every sort; and mercy demands that if you see the danger menacing others, you shall, [20] _Deo volente_, inform them thereof. Only thus is the right practice of Mind-healing achieved, and the wrong prac- tice discerned, disarmed, and destroyed. _Do you believe in translation?_ If your question refers to language, whereby one ex- [25] presses the sense of words in one language by equiva- lent words in another, I do. If you refer to the removal of a person to heaven, without his subjection to death, I modify my affirmative answer. I believe in this removal being possible after all the footsteps requisite [30] have been taken up to the very throne, up to the [Page 68.] spiritual sense and fact of divine substance, intelligence, [1] Life, and Love. This translation is not the work of mo- ments; it requires both time and eternity. It means more than mere disappearance to the human sense; it must include also man’s changed appearance and diviner form [5] visible to those beholding him here. _The Rev. —— said in a sermon: A true Christian_ _would protest against metaphysical healing being called_ _Christian Science. He also maintained that pain and_ _disease are not illusions but realities; and that it is not_ [10] _Christian to believe they are illusions. Is this so?_ It is unchristian to believe that pain and sickness are anything _but_ illusions. My proof of this is, that the penalty for believing in their reality is the very pain and disease. Jesus cast out a devil, and the dumb spake; [15] hence it is right to know that the works of Satan are the illusion and error which Truth casts out. Does the gentleman above mentioned know the meaning of divine metaphysics, or of metaphysical theology? [20]
