Man never can be operated on for man is God’s consciousness, complete and perfect; the only operation is the operation of God which never mutilates, but maintains man’s entity and completeness, giving him infinite joy and happiness. Man is spiritual and governed by God, God is the only power and the only ruler. God’s ideas can never be injured, they are indestructible and perfect; man is never compelled to injure anything in order to do good ; for the only compulsion is the will of God, the compulsion of Love ; Love’s law is “a// things work together for good” (Rom. 8 : 38). Man’s body is not material, it is spiritual; there is no disease requiring operation, for man’s body is the body of Christ, the embodiment of Ttuth, perfect, beautiful, spiritual, eternally holy, “the same yesterday, and to day and for ever” (Hcb. 13:8).
