is is the only case [10] that could be distorted into the claim of insanity ever having occurred in a class of Mrs. Eddy's; while ac- knowledged and notable cases of insanity have been cured in her class. _If all that is mortal is a dream or error, is not_ [15] _our capacity for formulating a dream, real; is it not_ _God-made; and if God-made, can it be wrong, sinful, or_ _an error?_ The spirit of Truth leads into all truth, and enables man to discern between the real and the unreal. Enter- [20] taining the common belief in the opposite of goodness, and that evil is as real as good, opposes the leadings of the divine Spirit that are helping man Godward: it pre- vents a recognition of the nothingness of the dream, or belief, that Mind is in matter, intelligence in non-intel- [25] ligence, sin, and death. This belief presupposes not only a power opposed to God, and that God is not All- in-all, as the Scriptures imply Him to be, but that the capacity to err proceeds from God. That God is Truth, the Scriptures aver; that Truth [30] never created error, or such a capacity, is self-evident; [Page 50.] that God made all that was made, is again Scriptural; [1] therefore your answer is, that error is an illusion of mortals; that God is not its author, and it cannot be real. _Does __"__Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures__"_ [5] _explain the entire method of metaphysical healing, or is_ _there a secret back of what is contained in that book, as_ _some say?_ "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" is a complete textbook of Christian Science; and its [10] metaphysical method of healing is as lucid in presenta- tion as can be possible, under the necessity to express the metaphysical in physical terms. There is absolutely no additional secret outside of its teachings, or that gives one the power to heal; but it is essential that the student [15] gain the spiritual understanding of the contents of this book, in order to heal. _Do you believe in change of heart?_ We do believe, and understand--which is more-- that there must be a change from human affections, de- [20] sires, and aims, to the divine standard, "Be ye therefore perfect;" also, that there must be a change from the be- lief that the heart is matter and sustains life, to the understanding that God is our Life, that we exist in Mind, live thereby, and have being. This change of [25] heart would deliver man from heart-disease, and
