384:30 Sickness, sin, and death must at length quail before the divine rights of intelligence, and then the power of Mind over the entire functions and organs of the 385:1 human system will be acknowledged. It is proverbial that Florence Nightingale and other philanthropists en- 385:3 gaged in humane labors have been able to undergo without sinking fatigues and expo- sures which ordinary people could not endure. The ex- 385:6 planation lies in the support which they derived from the divine law, rising above the human. The spiritual demand, quelling the material, supplies energy and en- 385:9 durance surpassing all other aids, and forestalls the penalty which our beliefs would attach to our best deeds. Let us remember that the eternal law of right, 385:12 though it can never annul the law which makes sin its own executioner, exempts man from all penalties but those due for wrong-doing. Honest toil has no penalty 385:15 Constant toil, deprivations, exposures, and all untow- ard conditions, /if without sin/, can be experienced with- out suffering. Whatever it is your duty to do, 385:18 you can do without harm to yourself. If you sprain the muscles or wound the flesh, your remedy is at hand. Mind decides whether or not the 385:21 flesh shall be discolored, painful, swollen, and inflamed. Our sleep and food You say that you have not slept well or have overeaten. You are a law unto yourself. Saying this and believing 385:24 it, you will suffer in proportion to your belief and fear. Your sufferings are not the penalty for having broken a law of matter, for it is a law of mortal 385:27 mind which you have disobeyed. You say or think, be- cause you have partaken of salt fish, that you must be thirsty, and you are thirsty accordingly, while the oppo- 385:30 site belief would produce the opposite result. Doubtful evidence Any supposed information, coming from the body or from inert matter as if either were intelligent, is an illu- 386:1 sion of mortal mind, - one of its dreams. Realize that the evidence of the senses is not to be accepted 386:3 in the case of sickness, any more than it is in the case of sin. Climate and belief
