Whoever uses his developed mental powers like an es- caped felon to commit fresh atrocities as opportunity oc- 105:24 curs is never safe. God will arrest him. Di- vine justice will manacle him. His sins will be millstones about his neck, weighing him down to the 105:27 depths of ignominy and death. The aggravation of er- ror foretells its doom, and confirms the ancient axiom: "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." The misuse of mental power 105:30 The distance from ordinary medical prac- tice to Christian Science is full many a league in the line of light; but to go in healing from the use of 106:1 inanimate drugs to the criminal misuse of human will- power, is to drop from the platform of common manhood 106:3 into the very mire of iniquity, to work against the free course of honesty and justice, and to push vainly against the current running heavenward. Proper self-government 106:6 Like our nation, Christian Science has its Declaration of Independence. God has endowed man with inalien- able rights, among which are self-government, 106:9 reason, and conscience. Man is properly self- governed only when he is guided rightly and governed by his Maker, divine Truth and Love. 106:12 Man's rights are invaded when the divine order is in- terfered with, and the mental trespasser incurs the divine penalty due this crime. Right methods 106:15 Let this age, which sits in judgment on Christian Science, sanction only such methods as are demonstrable in Truth and known by their fruit, and classify 106:18 all others as did St. Paul in his great epistle to the Galatians, when he wrote as follows: "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are 106:21 these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, /witchcraft/, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, 106:24 revellings and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But 106:27 the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." CHAPTER VI - SCIENCE, THEOLOGY, MEDICINE But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. - PAUL. The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. - JESUS. Christian Science discovered
