I would not transform the infant at once into a 371:21 man, nor would I keep the suckling a lifelong babe. No impossible thing do I ask when urging the claims of Christian Science; but because 371:24 this teaching is in advance of the age, we should not deny our need of its spiritual unfoldment. Mankind will improve through Science and Christi- 371:27 anity. The necessity for uplifting the race is father to the fact that Mind can do it; for Mind can impart purity instead of impurity, strength instead of weak- 371:30 ness, and health instead of disease. Truth is an altera- tive in the entire system, and can make it "every whit whole." Brain not intelligent 372:1 Remember, brain is not mind. Matter cannot be sick, and Mind is immortal. The mortal body is only an erro- 372:3 neous mortal belief of mind in matter. What you call matter was originally error in solu- tion, elementary mortal mind, - likened by Milton to 372:6 "chaos and old night." One theory about this mortal mind is, that its sensations can reproduce man, can form blood, flesh, and bones. The Science of being, in which 372:9 all is divine Mind, or God and His idea, would be clearer in this age, but for the belief that matter is the medium of man, or that man can enter his own embodied thought, 372:12 bind himself with his own beliefs, and then call his bonds material and name them divine law. Veritable success When man demonstrates Christian Science absolutely, 372:15 he will be perfect. He can neither sin, suffer, be subject to matter, nor disobey the law of God. There- fore he will be as the angels in heaven. Chris- 372:18 tian Science and Christianity are one. How, then, in Christianity any more than in Christian Science, can we believe in the reality and power of both Truth and error, 372:21 Spirit and matter, and hope to succeed with contraries? Matter is not self-sustaining. Its false supports fail one after another. Matter succeeds for a period only by 372:24 falsely parading in the vestments of law. Recognition of benefits "Whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." In Chris- 372:27 tian Science, a denial of Truth is fatal, while a just acknowledgment of Truth and of what it has done for us is an effectual help. If pride, super- 372:30 stition, or any error prevents the honest recognition of benefits received, this will be a hindrance to the recovery of the sick and the success of the student. Disease far more docile than iniquity
