is emphatic in our hearts, and it
lives more because of his spiritual than his physical healing.
His example is, to Christian Scientists, what the models 12
of the masters in music and painting are to artists.
Genuine Christian Scientists will no more deviate mor-
ally from that divine digest of Science called the Sermon 15
on the Mount, than they will manipulate invalids, prescribe
drugs, or deny God. Jesus' healing was spiritual in its
nature, method, and design. He wrought the cure of 18
disease through the divine Mind, which gives all true
volition, impulse, and action; and destroys the mental
error made manifest physically, and establishes the oppo- 21
site manifestation of Truth upon the body in harmony
and health.
_By the individuality of God, do you mean that God has_ 24
_a finite form?_
No. I mean the infinite and divine Principle of all
being, the ever-present I AM, filling all space, including 27
in itself all Mind, the one Father-Mother God. Life, 1
Truth, and Love are this trinity in unity, and their uni-
verse is spiritual, peopled with perfect beings, harmonious 3
and eternal, of which our material universe and men are
the counterfeits.

All true Science represents a moral and spiritual force,
which holds the earth in its orbit. This force is Spirit,
that can "bind the sweet influences of the Pleiades," and 12
"loose the bands of Orion."
There is no material science, if by that term you mean
material intelligence. God is infinite Mind, hence there 15
is no other Mind. Good is Mind, but evil is not Mind.
Good is not in evil, but in God only. Spirit is not in matter,
but in Spirit only. Law is not in matter, but in Mind only. 18
_Is there no matter?_
All is Mind. According to the Scriptures and Christian
Science, all is God, and there is naught beside Him. "God 21
is Spirit;" and we can only learn and love Him through
His spirit, which brings out the fruits of Spirit and ex-
tinguishes forever the works of darkness by His marvel- 24
lous light.
The five material senses testify to the existence of
matter. The spiritual senses afford no such evidence, 1
but deny the testi
