20] The Science of omnipotence demonstrates but one power, and this power is good, not evil; not matter, but Mind. This virtually destroys matter and evil, in- cluding sin and disease. [25] If God is All, and God is good, it follows that all must be good; and no other power, law, or intelligence can exist. On this proof rest premise and conclusion in Science, and the facts that disprove the evidence of the senses. [30] God is individual Mind. This one Mind and His individuality comprise the elements of all forms and [Page 102.] individualities, and prophesy the nature and stature of [1] Christ, the ideal man. A corporeal God, as often defined by lexicographers and scholastic theologians, is only an infinite finite being, an unlimited man,--a theory to me inconceivable. If [5] the unlimited and immortal Mind could originate in a limited body, Mind would be chained to finity, and the infinite forever finite. In this limited and lower sense God is not personal. His infinity precludes the possibility of corporeal person- [10] ality. His being is individual, but not physical. God is like Himself and like nothing else. He is uni- versal and primitive. His character admits of no degrees of comparison. God is not part, but the whole. In His individuality I recognize the loving, divine Father-Mother [15] God. Infinite personality must be incorporeal. God's ways are not ours. His pity is expressed in modes above the human. His chastisements are the manifestations of Love. The sympathy of His eternal Mind is fully expressed in divine Science, which blots [20] out all our iniquities and heals all our diseases. Human pity often brings pain. Science supports harmony, denies suffering, and de- stroys it with the divinity of Truth. Whatever seems mate- rial, seems thus only to the material senses, and is but the [25] subjective state of mortal and material thought. Science has inaugurated the irrepressible conflict be- tween sense and Soul. Mortal thought wars with this sense as one that beateth the air, but Science outmasters it, and ends the warfare. This proves daily that "one [30] on God's side is a majority." Science defines _omnipresence_ as universality, that which [Page 103.] precludes the presence of evil. This verity annuls the tes- [1] timony of the senses, which say that sin is an evil power, and substance is perishable. Intelligent Spirit, Soul, is substance, far more impregnable and
