These qualities or attributes, which are realized through the soul's spiritual sense, are not as familiar to the people as their opposites, i. e., material love, truth, life, wisdom, substance, etc.; and there is great difficulty experienced in writing an explanation in which the meaning shall be made clear to all.

In listening to a lecture one person will interpret one sentence in one way, and another, interpret the same sentence another way; thus in reading this explanation you may not receive the thought the words are intended to convey, you may only catch a glimpse of the thought set forth. To be fully explained so as to be practically understood, it must be done orally, through comparisons, figures and parables; and after the thought is perceived it must be exercised in order to be assimilated, or in order for the soul to become attached to it and to live it.

The spiritual thought does not appear tangible to our material senses, for the

carnal mind is at enmity with Spirit, and cannot discern spiritual things. It is more difficult to impart the infinite Understanding to some than to others, and while some will perceive it readily and clearly, others will only understand it partially; and by mixing their understanding of it with the old opinions and beliefs finite understanding they bring forth the works or demonstration only imperfectly, or to a

limited extent.

Those who teach this eternal Truth can only teach it according to their perceptions of it, and if their perceptions be clouded, their instructions cannot be free from opinions and beliefs, and cannot, therefore, be perfect Truth. Each healer will differ according to the amount of opinions, beliefs, etc., which he has mixed with his understanding of Truth, or according to the selfishness and pride which he still possesses. But the time must come, when but one spiritual understanding of God and his

creation, will be accepted as true by the best and clearest minds, - - those who are the least selfish and prejudiced, and who are seeking and working, not for their own glory, but for Truth's sake and for the glory of God and his Son, Jesus the Christ whom he has sent.

From this Truth "Many have turned. aside unto vain talking, desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm." "But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their lascivious doings: by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of."

When we reason in the soul's material understanding we reason from man to God, that is, from the changeable to the Un

changeable; and when we reason in the soul's spiritual understanding we reason in precisely the opposite direction or from the Unchangeable to the changeable, and find out our mistake, or the cause of the present inharmonious condition of man. In soul's spiritual understanding we reason thus: God and his Thought are Spirit. Soul the reflection of that Thought is spiritual, not material, or, in other words, we reason from God (Substance) to soul (shadow), and the shadow is governed by the Substance or is in oneness with it. Thus the soul governed by God or in oneness with him, could not change and be sick, because God is unchangeable. We reason that God made all things that were made, and that all he made was good, like unto his own quality God unchangeable Good, his work, in the image and likeness, changeable good. Thus if the soul be governed with the spiritual understanding, it shall hold its eternity with God; not as born of his

Substance, but deified by his Grace. Now if God made all that was made, and nothing was made without him, and all he made was good, if he made sin, sickness and death they would be good also. Again, if God made them, how could Jesus destroy them, and, at the same time, do God's will? God is Almighty, - the only Power, and if he made sin, sickness and death no one could destroy them, and it would even be wrong for any one to attempt to do so. Jesus said "Every plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up." He knew the plants that his heavenly Father had not planted, and knew they were wrong or evil.

There is no death to Immortality, nor to the soul which is like unto it. The scriptures say, "The soul that sinneth it shall die," therefore, soul is not the immortal quality, nor is the soul that sins like unto it. Every man is a sinner, and we know that the body cannot act alone, therefore,
