e, and only as the woeful unrealities of being, is the only way to destroy them; Christian Science is proving this by healing cases of disease and sin after all other means have failed. The Nazarene Prophet could make the unreality [10] of both apparent in a moment. _Does it not limit the power of Mind to deny the possi-_ _bility of communion with departed friends--dead only in_ _belief?_ Does it limit the power of Mind to say that addition [15] is not subtraction in mathematics? The Science of Mind reveals the impossibility of two individual sleepers, in different phases of thought, communicating, even if touch- ing each other corporeally; or for one who sleeps to communicate with another who is awake. Mind's possi- [20] bilities are not lessened by being confined and conformed to the Science of being. _If mortal mind and body are myths, what is the con-_ _nection between them and real identity, and why are there_ _as many identities as mortal bodies?_ [25] Evil in the beginning claimed the power, wisdom, and utility of good; and every creation or idea of Spirit has its counterfeit in some matter belief. Every material be- lief hints the existence of spiritual reality; and if mortals are instructed in spiritual things, it will be seen that ma- [30] [Page 61.] terial belief, in all its manifestations, reversed, will be [1] found the type and representative of verities priceless, eternal, and just at hand. The education of the future will be instruction, in spir- itual Science, against the material symbolic counterfeit [5] sciences. All the knowledge and vain strivings of mortal mind, that lead to death,--even when aping the wisdom and magnitude of immortal Mind,--will be swallowed up by the reality and omnipotence of Truth over error, and of Life over death. [10] "_Dear Mrs. Eddy_:--In the October _Journal_ I read the following: "But the real man, who was created in the image of God, does not commit sin." _What then does sin?_ _What commits theft? Or who does murder?_ For instance, the man is held responsible for the crime; for I went once [15] to a place where a man was said to be "hanged for mur- der"--and certainly I saw him, or his effigy, dangling at the end of a rope. This "man" was held responsible for the 'sin.' " _What sins?_ [20] According to the Word, man is the image and likeness of God. Does God's essential likeness sin, or dangle at the end of a rope? If not, what does? A cul
