 3	    Many theories relative to God and man neither make
  	man harmonious nor God lovable. The beliefs we com-
  	monly entertain about happiness and life	                         Denials of
 6	afford no scatheless and permanent evidence	                 divine power 
  	of either. Security for the claims of harmonious and
  	eternal being is found only in divine Science. 
 9	    Scripture informs us that "with God all things are
  	possible," — all good is possible to Spirit; but our prev-
  	alent theories practically deny this, and make healing
12	possible only through matter. These theories must be
  	untrue, for the Scripture is true. Christianity is not
  	false, but religions which contradict its Principle are
15	false. 
  	    In our age Christianity is again demonstrating the
  	power of divine Principle, as it did over nineteen hun-
18	dred years ago, by healing the sick and triumphing over
  	death. Jesus never taught that drugs, food, air, and ex-
  	ercise could make a man healthy, or that they could de-
21	stroy human life; nor did he illustrate these errors by his
  	practice. He referred man's harmony to Mind, not to
  	matter, and never tried to make of none effect the sen-
24	tence of God, which sealed God's condemnation of sin,
  	sickness, and death.
