Question. — What are spirits and souls? 

SUBTITLE for above Question 

  	Question. — What are spirits and souls? 
  	Answer. — To human belief, they are personalities
 9	constituted of mind and matter, life and death, truth and
  	error, good and evil; but these contrasting	                                 Real versus
  	pairs of terms represent contraries, as Chris-	                                 unreal 
12	tian Science reveals, which neither dwell together nor
  	assimilate. Truth is immortal; error is mortal. Truth
  	is limitless; error is limited. Truth is intelligent; error
15	is non-intelligent. Moreover, Truth is real, and error is
  	unreal. This last statement contains the point you will
  	most reluctantly admit, although first and last it is the
18	most important to understand. 
  	    The term souls or spirits is as improper as the term
  	gods. Soul or Spirit signifies Deity and nothing else. 
21	There is no finite soul nor spirit. Soul or	                                      Mankind
  	Spirit means only one Mind, and cannot be	                              redeemed 
  	rendered in the plural. Heathen mythology and Jewish
24	theology have perpetuated the fallacy that intelligence,
  	soul, and life can be in matter; and idolatry and ritualism
  	are the outcome of all man-made beliefs. The Science
27	of Christianity comes with fan in hand to separate the
  	chaff from the wheat. Science will decla...re God aright,
  	and Christianity will demonstrate this declaration and
30	its divine Principle, making mankind better physically,
        morally, and spiritually.
