e is pointing the way, and is found to bring with it health,
holiness, and immortality, then to-day is none too soon for entering this
path. The proof that Christian Science is the way of salvation given by
Christ, I consider well established. The present, as well as the future,
reveals the fact that Truth is never understood too soon.

Has Truth, as demonstrated by Jesus, reappeared? Study Christian Science
and practise it, and you will know that Truth has reappeared. What is
demonstrably true cannot be gainsaid; but getting the letter and omitting
the spirit of this Science is neither the comprehension of its Principle
nor the practice of its Life.

HAS MAN A SOUL?

The Scriptures inform us that "the soul that sinneth, it shall die." Here
_soul_ means sense and organic life; and this passage refers to the Jewish
law, that a mortal should be put to death for his own sin, but not for
another's. Not Soul, but mortal sense, sins and dies. Immortal man has
immortal Soul and a deathless sense of being. Mortal man has but a false
sense of Soul and body. He believes that Spirit, or Soul, exists in matter.
This is pantheism, and is not the Science of Soul. The mind-quacks have so
slight a knowledge of Soul that they believe material and sinning sense to
be soul; and then they doctor this soul as if it were not even a material
sense.

In Dr. Gordon's sermon on The Ministry of Healing, he said, "The forgiven
soul in a sick body is not half a man." Is this pantheistic statement sound
theology,--that Soul is in matter, and the immortal part of man a sinner?
Is not this a disparagement of the person of man and a denial of God's
power? Better far that we impute such doctrines to mortal opinion than to
the divine Word.

To my sense, such a statement is a shocking reflection on the divine power.
A mortal pardoned by God is not sick, he is made whole. He in whom sin,
disease, and death are destroyed, is more than a fraction of himself. Such
sermons, though clad in soft raiment, are spiritless waifs, literary
driftwood on the ocean of thought; while Truth walks triumphantly over the
waves of sin, sickness, and death.

The law of Life and Truth is the law of Christ, destroying all sense of
sin and death. It does more than forgive the false sense named sin, for it
pursues and punishes it, and will not let sin go until it is
destroyed,--until nothing is left to be forgiven, to suffer, or to be
punished. Forgiven thus, sicknes
