  	    If mortals would keep proper ward over mortal mind,
18	the brood of evils which infest it would be cleared out. 
  	We must begin with this so-called mind and	                         Cleansing
  	empty it of sin and sickness, or sin and sick-	                         the mind 
21	ness will never cease. The present codes of human
  	systems disappoint the weary searcher after a divine
  	theology, adequate to the right education of human
24	thought. 
  	    Sin and disease must be thought before they can be
  	manifested. You must control evil thoughts in the first
27	instance, or they will control you in the second. Jesus
  	declared that to look with desire on forbidden objects was
  	to break a moral precept. He laid great stress on the
30	action of the human mind, unseen to the senses. 
  	    Evil thoughts and aims reach no farther and do no more
  	harm than one's belief permits. Evil thoughts, lusts, and
 1	malicious purposes cannot go forth, like wandering pollen,
  	from one human mind to another, finding unsuspected
 3	lodgment, if virtue and truth build a strong defence. 
  	Better suffer a doctor infected with smallpox to attend
  	you than to be treated mentally by one who does not obey
 6	the requirements of divine Science.
