  	    The compounded minerals or aggregated substances
  	composing the earth, the relations which constituent
18	masses hold to each other, the magnitudes,	                              Spiritual
  	distances, and revolutions of the celestial	                              translation 
  	bodies, are of no real importance, when we remember
21	that they all must give place to the spiritual fact by the
  	translation of man and the universe back into Spirit. In
  	proportion as this is done, man and the universe will be
24	found harmonious and eternal. 
  	    Material substances or mundane formations, astro-
  	nomical calculations, and all the paraphernalia of specu-
27	lative theories, based on the hypothesis of material law
  	or life and intelligence resident in matter, will ulti-
  	mately vanish, swallowed up in the infinite calculus of
30	Spirit. 
  	    Spiritual sense is a conscious, constant capacity to un-
  	derstand God. It shows the superiority of faith by works
 1	over faith in words. Its ideas are expressed only in "new
  	tongues;" and these are interpreted by the translation of
 3	the spiritual original into the language which human
  	thought can comprehend.
