harmony; that, as you read, you see there can be no power (outside of erring mortal mind and your own belief) able to make you sick or a sinner, and that you are conquering this error. Knowing the falsity of material sense, you will assert your prerogative to overcome the belief that you are sick.

The body is inanimate, inert, mindless. If you are believing and doing wrong knowingly, you can at once change your course and do right. So if you believe yourself sick, you can in like manner alter this wrong belief and action. Be faithless as to any supposed necessity for sin, sickness, or death; knowing, as you ought to know, that God never made, or caused to be obeyed, a law of sin, of sickness, or of death. Each of those the law of God destroys, for it is the law of Life instead of death, of harmony instead of discord.

It is vain to plead ignorance of this Divine Science that destroys all human discord, when you can readily acquire its understanding and demonstration. It is foolish to say that you doubt if there is a Divine Science in perfect harmony with God, its Principle (a Science which, understood and demonstrated, would destroy all discord), when you admit that God is omnipotent; for from this premise it follows that good, and its sweet concords, have all power.

There is no place or opportunity in Science for error of any sort. Every day makes its demands upon us for higher proofs, rather than professions, of Christianity, for this is the part of progress; and progress is the law of God, and His law demands only what we can meet and fulfil.

Mind is perpetual motion. Its symbol is the sphere.
