18	    Mind's government of the body must supersede the so-
  	called laws of matter. Obedience to material law pre-
  	vents full obedience to spiritual law, — the law	                        No material
21	which overcomes material conditions and puts	                        law 
  	matter under the feet of Mind. Mortals entreat the di-
  	vine Mind to heal the sick, and forthwith shut out the aid
24	of Mind by using material means, thus working against
  	themselves and their prayers and denying man's God-
  	given ability to demonstrate Mind's sacred power. Pleas
27	for drugs and laws of health come from some sad incident,
  	or else from ignorance of Christian Science and its tran-
  	scendent power. 
30	    To admit that sickness is a condition over which God
  	has no control, is to presuppose that omnipotent power
  	is powerless on some occasions. The law of Christ, or
 1	Truth, makes all things possible to Spirit; but the so-
  	called laws of matter would render Spirit of no avail, and
 3	demand obedience to materialistic codes, thus departing
  	from the basis of one God, one lawmaker. To suppose
  	that God constitutes laws of inharmony is a mistake; dis-
 6	cords have no support from nature or divine law, however
  	much is said to the contrary. 
  	    Can the agriculturist, according to belief, produce a
 9	crop without sowing the seed and awaiting its germina-
  	tion according to the laws of nature? The answer is no,
  	and yet the Scriptures inform us that... sin, or error, first
12	caused the condemnation of man to till the ground, and
  	indicate that obedience to God will remove this necessity. 
  	Truth never made error necessary, nor devised a law to
15	perpetuate error.
