Please refer to SUBTITLE Text content below. Text Content: 6 Would existence without personal friends be to you a blank? Then the time will come when you will be solitary, left without sympathy; but this Uses of 9 seeming vacuum is already filled with divine adversity Love. When this hour of development comes, even if you cling to a sense of personal joys, spiritual Love will 12 force you to accept what best promotes your growth. Friends will betray and enemies will slander, until the lesson is sufficient to exalt you; for "man's extremity 15 is God's opportunity." The author has experienced the foregoing prophecy and its blessings. Thus He teaches mortals to lay down their fleshliness and gain spirituality. 18 This is done through self-abnegation. Universal Love is the divine way in Christian Science. The sinner makes his own hell by doing evil, and the 21 saint his own heaven by doing right. The opposite per- secutions of material sense, aiding evil with evil, would deceive the very elect.
