is made possible when we grasp the stupendous fact that the human,
mortal mind, including its man, is absolutely unreal and non-existent!
The human man changes rapidly in mind, and, consequently, in its lower
stratum, or expression, the body. For that reason he need not carry
over into to-day the old, false beliefs which were manifested by him
yesterday. If he leaves them in the past, they cease to be manifested
in his present or future. Thus he outgrows himself. Then, opening
himself to truth, he lays off the 'old man' and puts on the 'new.' He
denies himself--denies that there is any truth in the seeming reality
of the mortal, material self--as Jesus bade us do."

"He must make new thoughts, then?" said Miss Wall.

"No," replied Hitt. "Thought is not manufactured. God is eternal mind.
His ideas and the thoughts regarding them must always have existed.
His thoughts are infinite in number. He, as mind, is an inexhaustible
reservoir of thought. Now the human, mortal mind interprets His
thoughts, and so _seems_ to manufacture new thought. It makes new
interpretations, but not new thoughts. When you hear people chatting,
do you think they are manufacturing new thought? Not a bit of it! They
are but reflecting, or voicing, the communal so-called mortal mind's
interpretations of God's innumerable and real thoughts."

"And so," suggested Father Waite, "the more nearly correct our
interpretations of His thoughts are, the nearer we approach to
righteousness."

"Just so," returned Hitt. "There exist all sorts of real thoughts
about God's ideas. And these are good and eternal. But the human mind
makes likewise all sorts of erroneous translations of them. We shall
solve our problem of existence when we correctly interpret His
thoughts, and use them only. When the human mentality becomes attuned
or accustomed to certain thoughts, that kind flow into it readily from
the communal mortal mind. Some people think for years along certain
erroneous or criminal lines. Their minds are set in that direction,
and invite such a flow of thought. But were they to reverse the 'set,'
there would be a very different and better resulting externalization
in health, prosperity, and morals."

"I think I see," said Miss Wall. "And I begin to glimpse the true
mission of Jesus, and why he was ready to give up everything for it."

"Yes. And now a word further about the so-called mortal mind. For,
when we have collected and arranged all our data reg
