 6	    In mathematics, we do not multiply when we should
  	subtract, and then say the product is correct. No more
  	can we say in Science that muscles give strength,	                     Affirmation
 9	that nerves give pain or pleasure, or that matter	                     and result 
  	governs, and then expect that the result will be harmony. 
  	Not muscles, nerves, nor bones, but mortal mind makes
12	the whole body "sick, and the whole heart faint;" whereas
  	divine Mind heals. 
  	    When this is understood, we shall never affirm concern-
15	ing the body what we do not wish to have manifested. We
  	shall not call the body weak, if we would have it strong;
  	for the belief in feebleness must obtain in the human
18	mind before it can be made manifest on the body, and
  	the destruction of the belief will be the removal of its
  	effects. Science includes no rule of discord, but governs
21	harmoniously. "The wish," says the poet, "is ever father
  	to the thought."
