                                   SUMMARY 

 1	    All that is, God created. If sin has any pretense of
  	existence, God is responsible therefor; but there is
 3	no reality in sin, for God can no more behold it, or acknowl-
  	edge it, than the sun can coexist with darkness. 
  	   To build the individual spiritual sense, conscious of
 6	only health, holiness, and heaven, on the foundations of
  	an eternal Mind which is conscious of sickness, sin, and
  	death, is a moral impossibility; for "other foundation
 9	can no man lay than that is laid."  (1 Corinthians iii. 11.) 
  	The nearer we approximate to such a Mind, even if it were
  	(or could be) God, the more real those mind-pictures would
12	become to us; until the hope of ever eluding their dread
  	presence must yield to despair, and the haunting sense
  	of evil forever accompany our being. 
15	    Mortals may climb the smooth glaciers, leap the dark
  	fissures, scale the treacherous ice, and stand on the sum-
  	mit of Mont Blanc; but they can never turn back what
18	Deity knoweth, nor escape from identification with what
         dwelleth in the eternal Mind.
