  	    We are prone to believe either in more than one Su-
18	preme Ruler or in some power less than God. We im-
  	agine that Mind can be imprisoned in a sensuous body. 
  	When the material body has gone to ruin, when evil has
21	overtaxed the belief of life in matter and destroyed it,
  	then mortals believe that the deathless Principle, or
  	Soul, escapes from matter and lives on; but this is not
24	true. Death is not a stepping-stone to Life, immortality,
  	and bliss. The so-called sinner is a suicide. 	                           Suicide
  	Sin kills the sinner and will continue to kill	                           and sin 
27	him so long as he sins. The foam and fury of illegiti-
  	mate living and of fearful and doleful dying should
  	disappear on the shore of time; then the waves of sin,
30	sorrow, and death beat in vain. 
  	    God, divine good, does not kill a man in order to give
  	him eternal Life, for God alone is man's life. God is at
  1	once the centre and circumference of being. It is evil
  	that dies; good dies not.
