bove the
frozen crust of creed and dogma, the divine Mind-force,
filling all space and having all power, upheaves the earth.
In sacred solitude divine Science evolved nature as thought, [25]
and thought as things. This supreme potential Principle
reigns in the realm of the real, and is "God with us,"
the I AM.

As mortals awake from their dream of material sen-
sation, this adorable, all-inclusive God, and all earth's [30]
hieroglyphics of Love, are understood; and infinite Mind

[Page 332.]

is seen kindling the stars, rolling the worlds, reflecting [1]
all space and Life,--but not life in matter. Wisely
governing, informing the universe, this Mind is Truth,--
not laws of matter. Infinitely just, merciful, and wise,
this Mind is Love,--but not fallible love. [5]

Spring is here! and doors that closed on Christian
Science in "the long winter of our discontent," are open
flung. Its seedtime has come to enrich earth and en-
robe man in righteousness; may its sober-suited autumn
follow with hues of heaven, ripened sheaves, and harvest [10]
songs.

"Where Art Thou?"

In the allegory of Genesis, third chapter and ninth
verse, two mortals, walking in the cool of the day midst
the stately palms, many-hued blossoms, perfume-laden [15]
breezes, and crystal streams of the Orient, pondered the
things of man and God.

A sense of evil is supposed to have spoken, been listened
to, and afterwards to have formed an evil sense that
blinded the eyes of reason, masked with deformity the [20]
glories of revelation, and shamed the face of mortals.

What was this sense? Error versus Truth: first, a
supposition; second, a false belief; third, suffering;
fourth, death.

Is man the supposer, false believer, sufferer? [25]

Not man, but a mortal--the antipode of immortal
man. Supposing, false believing, suffering are not fac-
ulties of Mind, but are qualities of error.

The supposition is, that God and His idea are not all-
power; that there is something besides Him; that this [30]

[Page 333.]

something is intelligent matter; that sin--yea, self- [1]
hood--is apart from God, where pleasure and pain,
good and evil, life and death, commingle, and are for-
ever at strife; even that every ray of Truth, of infinity,
omnipotence, omnipresence, goodness, could be absorbed [5]
in error! God cannot be obscured, and this renders error
a palpable falsity, yea, nothingness; on the basis that
black is not a color because it
