33	    Here the counsel for the defence closed, and the Chief
  	Justice of the Supreme Court, with benign and imposing
 1	presence, comprehending and defining all law and evi-
  	dence, explained from his statute-book, the	                                 Charge of the
 3	Bible, that any so-called law, which under-	                                 Chief Justice 
  	takes to punish aught but sin, is null and void. 
  	    He also decided that the plaintiff, Personal Sense, be
 6	not permitted to enter any suits at the bar of Soul, but
  	be enjoined to keep perpetual silence, and in case of
  	temptation, to give heavy bonds for good behavior. He
 9	concluded his charge thus: —  

  	  The plea of False Belief we deem unworthy of a hearing. 
  	Let what False Belief utters, now and forever, fall into
12	oblivion, "unknelled, uncoffined, and unknown." Accord-
  	ing to our statute, Material Law is a liar who cannot bear
  	witness against Mortal Man, neither can Fear arrest Mortal
15	Man nor can Disease cast him into prison. Our law refuses
  	to recognize Man as sick or dying, but holds him to be for-
  	ever in the image and likeness of his Maker. Reversing the
18	testimony of Personal Sense and the decrees of the Court of
  	Error in favor of Matter, Spirit decides in favor of Man
  	and against Matter. We further recommend that Materia
21	Medica adopt Christian Science and that Health-laws,
  	Mesmerism, Hypnotism, Oriental Witchcraft, and Esoteric
  	Magic be publicly e...xecuted at the hands of our sheriff,
24	Progress. 
  	  The Supreme Bench decides in favor of intelligence, that
  	no law outside of divine Mind can punish or reward Mortal
27	Man.  Your personal jurors in the Court of Error are
  	myths. Your attorney, False Belief, is an impostor, per-
  	suading Mortal Minds to return a verdict contrary to law
30	and gospel. The plaintiff, Personal Sense, is recorded in
  	our Book of books as a liar. Our great Teacher of mental
  	jurisprudence speaks of him also as "a murderer from the
33	beginning." We have no trials for sickness before the tri-
 1	bunal of divine Spirit. There, Man is adjudged innocent
  	of transgressing physical laws, because there are no such
 3	laws. Our statute is spiritual, our Government is divine. 
  	"Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
