  	    Human birth, growth, maturity, and decay are as the
15	grass springing from the soil with beautiful green blades,
  	afterwards to wither and return to its native	                              Human
  	nothingness. This mortal seeming is temporal;	                      frailty 
18	it never merges into immortal being, but finally disap-
  	pears, and immortal man, spiritual and eternal, is found
  	to be the real man. 
21	    The Hebrew bard, swayed by mortal thoughts, thus
  	swept his lyre with saddening strains on human existence:

  	       As for man, his days are as grass:
24	       As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
  	       For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;
  	       And the place thereof shall know it no more. 

27	When hope rose higher in the human heart, he sang:

  	       As for me, I will behold Thy face in righteousness:
  	       I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.
                   .              .              .              .              .              .              .
30	       For with Thee is the fountain of life;
  	       In Thy light shall we see light. 

 1	    The brain can give no idea of God's man. It can take
  	no cognizance of Mind. Matter is not the organ of infi-
 3	nite Mind. 
  	    As mortals give up the delusion that there is more than
  	one Mind, more than one God, man in God's likeness will
 6	appear, and this eternal man will include in that likeness
  	no material element.
