  	    Evil is a negation, because it is the absence of truth. 
12	It is nothing, because it is the absence of something. It
  	is unreal, because it presupposes the absence	                         Evil negative
  	of God, the omnipotent and omnipresent. 	                                 and self-
15	Every mortal must learn that there is neither	                                 destructive 
  	power nor reality in evil. 
  	    Evil is self-assertive. It says: "I am a real entity, over-
18	mastering good." This falsehood should strip evil of all
  	pretensions. The only power of evil is to destroy itself. It
  	can never destroy one iota of good. Every attempt of evil
21	to destroy good is a failure, and only aids in peremptorily
  	punishing the evil-doer. If we concede the same reality to
  	discord as to harmony, discord has as lasting a claim upon
24	us as has harmony. If evil is as real as good, evil is also as
  	immortal. If death is as real as Life, immortality is a myth. 
  	If pain is as real as the absence of pain, both must be im-
27	mortal; and if so, harmony cannot be the law of being.
