SCIENCE AND HEALTH.
One, or one evil, is but another name for material sensation.
Only as we rise above all material sensuousness and sin, can we reach the Heaven-born aspiration and spiritual consciousness which is indicated in the Lord's Prayer, and instantaneously heals the sick.
Here let me give what I understand to be the spiritual interpretation of the Lord's Prayer:
Our Father which art in Heaven,
- Our Father and Mother God, all-harmonious,
Hallowed be Thy name.
- Adorable One.
Thy Kingdom come.
- Thy kingdom is come,
- Good is ever-present and omnipotent.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in Heaven.
- Enable us to know, — as in Heaven, so on earth, — God is All in all.
Give us this day our daily bread;
- Give us grace for to-day; feed Thou the famished affections;
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
- And divine Love is reflected in love;
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
- And leaveth us not in temptation, but delivereth us from evil, — sin, disease, and death.
For Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
- For God is omnipresent Good, Substance, Life, Truth, Love.
