Soul is a synonym of Spirit, and God is Spirit.
There is but one God, and the infinite is not within the
finite; hence Soul is one, and is God; and God is not in
matter or the mortal body.

_Second:_ Because Soul is a term for Deity, and this [15]
term should seldom be employed except where the word
_God_ can be used and make complete sense. The word
_Soul_ may sometimes be used metaphorically; but if this
term is warped to signify human quality, a substitution
of _sense_ for _soul_ clears the meaning, and assists one to [20]
understand Christian Science. Mary's exclamation,
""My _soul_ doth magnify the Lord," is rendered in Sci-
ence, "My _spiritual sense_ doth magnify the Lord;"
for the name of Deity used in that place does not bring
out the meaning of the passage. It was evidently an [25]
illuminated sense through which she discovered the
spiritual origin of man. "The soul that sinneth, it shall
die," means, that mortal man (_alias_ material sense) that
sinneth, shall die; and the commonly accepted view is
that _soul_ is deathless. Soul is the divine Mind,--for [30]
Soul cannot be formed or brought forth by human

thought,--and must proceed from God; hence it must [1]
be sinless, and destitute of self-created or derived capacity
to sin.

_Third:_ Jesus said, "If a man keep my saying, he
shall never see death." This statement of our Master [5]
is true, and remains to be demonstrated; for it is the
ultimatum of Christian Science; but this immortal saying
can never be tested or proven true upon a false premise,
such as the mortal belief that soul is in body, and life
and intelligence are in matter. That doctrine is not [10]
theism, but pantheism. According to human belief the
bodies of mortals are mortal, but they contain immortal
souls! hence these bodies must die for these souls to
escape and be immortal. The theory that death must
occur, to set a human soul free from its environments, [15]
is rendered void by Jesus' divine declaration, who spake
as never man spake,--and no man can rationally reject
his authority on this subject and accept it on other topics
less important.

Now, exchange the term _soul_ for _sense_ whenever this [20]
word means the so-called soul in the body, and you will
find the right meaning indicated. The misnamed human
soul is material sense, which sinneth and shall die; for
it is an error or false sense of mentality in matter, and
matter has no sense. You will admit t
