eth all Mind, all consciousness, all individuality, all
being. My Mind is divine good, and cannot drift into evil. To believe in
minds many is to depart from the supreme sense of harmony. Your assumptions
insist that there is more than the one Mind, more than the one God; but
verily I say unto you, God is All-in-all; and you can never be outside of
His oneness.

_Evil._ I am a finite consciousness, a material individuality,--a mind in
matter, which is both evil and good.

_Good._ All consciousness is Mind; and Mind is God,--an infinite, and not a
finite consciousness. This consciousness is reflected in individual
consciousness, or man, whose source is infinite Mind. There is no really
finite mind, no finite consciousness. There is no material substance, for
Spirit is all that endureth, and hence is the only substance. There is, can
be, no evil mind, because Mind is God. God and His ideas--that is, God and
the universe--constitute all that exists. Man, as God's offspring, must be
spiritual, perfect, eternal.

_Evil._ I am something separate from good or God. I am substance. My mind
is more than matter. In my mortal mind, matter becomes conscious, and is
able to see, taste, hear, feel, smell. Whatever matter thus affirms is
mainly correct. If you, O good, deny this, then I deny your truthfulness.
If you say that matter is unconscious, you stultify my intellect, insult my
conscience, and dispute self-evident facts; for nothing can be clearer than
the testimony of the five senses.

_Good._ Spirit is the only substance. Spirit is God, and God is good; hence
good is the only substance, the only Mind. Mind is not, cannot be, in
matter. It sees, hears, feels, tastes, smells as Mind, and not as matter.
Matter cannot talk; and hence, whatever it appears to say of itself is a
lie. This lie, that Mind can be in matter,--claiming to be something beside
God, denying Truth and its demonstration in Christian Science,--this lie I
declare an illusion. This denial enlarges the human intellect by removing
its evidence from sense to Soul, and from finiteness into infinity. It
honors conscious human individuality by showing God as its source.

_Evil._ I am a creator,--but upon a material, not a spiritual basis. I give
life, and I can destroy life.

_Good._ Evil is not a creator. God, good, is the only creator. Evil is not
conscious or conscientious Mind; it is not individual, not actual. Evil is
not spiritual, and therefore has no groun
