Please refer to SUBTITLE Text content below. Text Content: The Scriptures say, "In Him we live, and move, and 6 have our being." What then is this seeming power, in- dependent of God, which causes disease and Seemingly cures it? What is it but an error of belief, — independent 9 a law of mortal mind, wrong in every sense, authority embracing sin, sickness, and death? It is the very anti- pode of immortal Mind, of Truth, and of spiritual law. 12 It is not in accordance with the goodness of God's char- acter that He should make man sick, then leave man to heal himself; it is absurd to suppose that matter can both 15 cause and cure disease, or that Spirit, God, produces disease and leaves the remedy to matter. John Young of Edinburgh writes: "God is the father 18 of mind, and of nothing else." Such an utterance is "the voice of one crying in the wilderness" of human beliefs and preparing the way of Science. Let us learn 21 of the real and eternal, and prepare for the reign of Spirit, the kingdom of heaven, — the reign and rule of universal harmony, which cannot be lost nor remain 24 forever unseen.
