of the healthy from any sense of subordination to their
bodies, and teach them that the divine Mind, not material
law, maintains human health and life. 27

A Christian Scientist knows that, in Science, disease
is unreal; that Mind is not in matter; that Life is God, 1
good; hence Life is not functional, and is neither matter
nor mortal mind; knows that pantheism and theosophy 3
are not Science. Whatever saps, with human belief,
this basis of Christian Science, renders it impossible to
demonstrate the Principle of this Science, even in the 6
smallest degree.

A mortal and material body is not the actual individuality
of man made in the divine and spiritual image of God. 9
The material body is not the likeness of Spirit; hence it
is not the truth of being, but the likeness of error ? the
human belief which saith there is more than one God, -- 12
there is more than one Life and one Mind.

In Deuteronomy (iv. 35) we read: "The Lord, He is

we may read: "God is Spirit." These propositions, un-
derstood in their Science, elucidate my meaning.

When treating a patient, it is not Science to treat every 18
organ in the body. To aver that harmony is the real and
discord is the unreal, and then give special attention to
what according to their own belief is diseased, is scientific; 21
and if the _healer realizes_ the truth, it will free his patient.

These people should not be expected, more than others,
to give all their time to Christian Science work, receiving
no wages in return, but left to be fed, clothed, and sheltered 27
by charity. Neither can they serve two masters, giving 1
only a portion of their time to God, and still be Christian
Scientists. They must give Him all their services, and 3
"owe no man." To do this, they must at present ask a
suitable price for their services, and then _conscientiously_
_earn their wages_, strictly practising Divine Science, and 6
healing the sick.

labors was from classes, and often those were put off for
