Matter, as 18
matter, has neither sensation nor personal intelligence.
As a pretension to be Mind, matter is a lie, and "the
father of lies;" Mind is not in matter, and Spirit cannot 21
originate its opposite, named matter.
According to divine Science, Spirit no more changes its
species, by evolving matter from Spirit, than natural 24
science, so-called, or material laws, bring about altera-
tion of species by transforming minerals into vegetables
or plants into animals, -- thus confusing and confounding 27
the three great kingdoms. No rock brings forth an apple; 1
no pine-tree produces a mammal or provides breast-milk
for babes. 3
To sense, the lion of to-day is the lion of six thousand
years ago; but in Science, Spirit sends forth its own harm-
less likeness. 6
_How should I undertake to demonstrate Christian Science_
_in healing the sick?_
As I have given you only an epitome of the Principle, 9
so I can give you here nothing but an outline of the prac-
tice. Be honest, be true to thyself, and true to others;
then it follows thou wilt be strong in God, the eternal 12
good. Heal through Truth and Love; there is no other
healer.
In all moral revolutions, from a lower to a higher con- 15
dition of thought and action, Truth is in the minority and
error has the majority.
