QuesExpanded:Question What is God?

AnsExpanded:Answer A Principle Wisdom Love and Truth

QuesExpanded:Question What is this Principle?

AnsExpanded:Answer Life and Intelligence. Q.Expanded:Question What is life and intelligence

QuesExpanded:Question AnsExpanded:Answer Soul

QuesExpanded:Question Then what is God

AnsExpanded:Answer The Soul of man and the universe

QuesExpanded:Question Is God man

AnsExpanded:Answer No they are perfectly distinct and yet united Soul is not man nor is that which we call soul in man while they are ever are united as subtance Corrected: substance and its shadow

QuesExpanded:Question Then what is man.

AnsExpanded:Answer The idea of this Principle and Soul is the Principle and subtance Corrected: substance of this idea named man because it is the life and intelligence of it and you will please remember as the leading points in scienceEditorial Note: Christian Science that man has no subtance Corrected: substance nor intelligence that these belong to the soul and the soul reflects itself in man therefore man is the reflex shadow of the soul and borrows all subtance Corrected: substance intelligence and life from the soul

Ques.Expanded:Question what is Matter?

AnsExpanded:Answer It is not subtance Corrected: substance is soul is subtance Corrected: substance for soul and matter are not one, then matter held as shadow is the idea of God but matter held as subtance Corrected: substance is a belief and error.

Ques.Expanded:Question Is [?] Unclear or illegible  the body of man matter?

Ans.Expanded:Answer yes because man has not a body and because matter as subtance Corrected: substance is not the idea of God. The soul has a body and this is immortal because it is the idea of its princpleCorrected:principle, and is not a belief of subtance Corrected: substance intelleigence and life in matter. but holds these in the soul. and man the idea of these, this man is the body of the soul and. not the idea of man, therfore Corrected: therefore this body of man is the belief of life intelligence and subtance Corrected: substance in matter, when scienceEditorial Note: Christian Science proves that none of these are of matter hence a mortal man is not the idea of immortality and he cannot be the idea of the soul for nothing of decay of sickness or sin gives an idea of God. Ques,Expanded:Question what is the man that is sick and mortal AnsExpanded:Answer We have shown you that the man that is harmonious and immortal is learned of science, and reverses the belief we cherish of him by holding life subtance Corrected: substance and intelligence in the soul and this soul outside the body, and giving forth its idea as subtance Corrected: substance its shadow. Now the body we call man, that is inharmonious, and mortal; is a belief that life subtance Corrected: substance and intelligence are in the body, that the, soul is here hence, intelligence and life is in matter. from this false premises flow the error that is mortal and this error is the man that is sick and mortal.

Ques.Expanded:Question Is mortallity Corrected: mortality a belief, is sickness a belief, is there no reality in man?

Ans.Expanded:Answer There is no truth in the error of belief called man truth is immortal, error is mortal, truth is harmonious, error is inharmonious, and if sickness was truth, Jesus would not have destroyed it, and I would not teach a Student such presumption. do you think, drugs, air diet &cExpanded:et cetera, would heal the sick, itf God the intelligence, and truth of man had caused the sickness? if matter is superior to God then we admit that effect is superior to cause, and can save or destroy the work of God, this reasoning is vain, science tells us that sickness is discord, and as discord is not caused by the principle of music, so this inharmony of man is not caused by the principle of man, The principle of man is the soul, and this soul the life and intelligence of man that gives the idea of itself in shadow, and holds all subtance Corrected: substance in itself but the idea of harmony must be harmonious, hence this man is the only idea of the soul, the sick and mortal one is a belief of man and not idea of the soul, hence this belief is not harmonioousCorrected:harmonious– nor immortal, Ques,Expanded:Question do we see man, or what is it that we see? Ans,Expanded:Answer It is not the man God created that we see for this one is as before named and idea of subtance Corrected: substance and life, and the one we see is the belief of subtance Corrected: substance and death a belief of subtance Corrected: substance and death in matter instead of the truth that holds matter a shadow at the control of the soul. we see mortality (that is falsely named man) with mortal sense but we see the immortal man through science, with the immortal sense, that contradicts this? Ans,Expanded:Answer How can we understand this? Ans.Expanded:Answer by growing up to it through truth and not through a belief, we cannot learn this of an ism nor can of personal sense, we must learn it through science, and this is to learn it of a principle and this principle is soul, now you must learn what I have stated of the Soul, and let it contradict sense, as science must. Does sense tell us the earth rotates and revolves, and the sun stands still? No it says the Sun rises and sets, but science contradicts this

Ques.Expanded:Question What is sense?

Ans.Expanded:Answer It belongs to the Soul and not to the body and this sense gives the idea of truth and never error there is no sense that belongs to matter. the five personal senses are but a paradox and error of words, Matter has no intelligence nor sensation, and these senses are a belief that it has, and this belief is an error, therfore Corrected: therefore that we ask these senses for pleasure, is the foundation [?] Unclear or illegible  of the results to come in pain, and is the error that gives inharmony to man, There is neither pleasure nor pain in matter, and to believe there is, is the error, that stands ever the opposite of truth, and this error is named devil and was cast out by truth the Christ that came theaching Corrected: teaching and preaching it, Now when there is pain or suffering you find it in sense, therefore you are to contradict this sense with science, that says there is no reality in aught but Gods Corrected: God's giving, and this principle cannot give inharmony nor this good evil, hence you must argue down this false seeming this belief begotten of man, and born of woman instead of God, and my proof to you that these statments Corrected: statements a [?] Unclear or illegible re true science and truth you will find in this– that when you destroy the belief of consumptionEditorial Note: tuberculosis, for instance, the patient will recover - now you have not distroyed Corrected: destroyed a belief person place nor thing, you have only through a metaphysical prossesCorrected:process distroyed Corrected: destroyed a belief, and that the consumption is gone when this is accomplished proves to you that sensation in matter is only an illusion [?] Unclear or illegible  a belief which science contradicts. Ques.Expanded:Question What is belief? according to the bible cannot you believe and be savedActs 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. : This never meant a blingd belief, it meant the faith that truth works, that higher understanding of God by which we give up the evidence of the senses, for the truth of a principle that is at war with sense, belief is a thing of change and depends on no principle for support. it is dangerous to believe in God when we are commanded to acquaint our selves with God"Job 22:21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. if we believe a truth this belief may change and this truth be lost sight of but if we understand the truth this cannot be taken away from us Mary understood and Martha believed in truthLuke 10:38 ¶Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. Luke 10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. Luke 10:40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. Luke 10:41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: Luke 10:42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. . science is the only safe interpreter of man and God is of a principle and its idea for this teaches the principle so we can demonstrate it, and this demonstration Jesus gave and commanded others to give in healing the sickMatt 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. , hence was he the most scientific man on record because he demonstrated more of the understanding of God than did others? If when you heal the sick you will so teach them the principle by which you take truth to destroy error, and give them in place of belief the understanding of this truth, they will never relapse nor fall into the error they have understood their way out of, but if you destroy the belief, sickness, and they do not understand how it was done, yet will they get well all the same but are liable to fall into some other bliefCorrected:belief. for instance if you should destroy consumption through this metaphysical process, yet might your patient have a sore throat left or some other error of belief Ques.Expanded:Question Is all sickness but a belief? It is there is no truth in ihnharmony for truth would at once restore harmony, and all belief is error for you should learn the science of man so as to understand man and then you would have no belief about it belief is the opposite of science and is in reality nothing, principle, and its idea learned through science is all the reality there is hence sickness is nothing because it is not a principle nor its idea, and if sickness was truth, or the idea of it you could not destroy it and it would be an error to attempt to do so principle, is truth and its idea is man in perfect harmony belief is error and its belief is man sick and inharmonious Now you must take this very principle to say to disease you are a belief only for matter has no sensation, and you, claim to be sensation in matter, and you are this error of belief that the opposite truth, that matter has no intelligence, must destroy, this is the moral science, that gives harmony the problem to, man,

Ques.Expanded:Question When healing the sick, which belief shal Corrected: shall I first destroy?

Ans.Expanded:Answer That one that is producing the present inharmony if it be a liver complaint you are to destroy it thus, place your thoughts utterly away from its being a reality. you must not think of the sallow skin, of the deranged bowels, but of the eternal harmony of evry Corrected: every man in science. there hold your selfCorrected:yourself and from that standpoint address your patient first by saying, there is no inharmony because there is but one reality and its idea, and this is god, now sickness is not God nor the idea of God, so you are to say as one having authority depart ye that work iniqityMatt 7:21 ¶Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matt 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Matt 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. , and then take up the arguements Corrected: arguments of science to talk down this belief, explain as much of the science as they can bear, but in this be wise, and cast not the pearl truth before swineMatt 7:6 ¶Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. , ieCorrected:i.e., that is to the uneducated thought, bring up the patient by degrees to see the truth you utter, It is neccessary Corrected: necessary to shock or startle the mind some timesCorrected:sometimes in order to move it away from its position of belief, when this is neccessary Corrected: necessary come out bluntly and tell your patient with a determined vehemence nothing ails him and he is like an insane man, that suffers from a belief that he will hold on to, Impress him with the feeling that you are indignant with error, but charretible Corrected: charitable towards himself, pitiful and loving, and for the good of your patient alone you have thus spoken boldly the truth when the sick tell you they have a consumption and you see all its symptoms present you are to tell them they have no such thing, and if they ask what it is, you can reply I understand perfectly the cause of all these symptoms and will tell you when you get well, but not now you are not to give names to sickness but are to unname it by blotting it out distroyingCorrected:destroying it you must in arguing down a belief mentaly Corrected: mentally as you attend upon a patient call it by name for unless you do it will not be destroyed in many instances but you are to avoid dadmitting this name to the sick you are trying to blot it out, and not to preserve it in bliefCorrected:belief, you must take up all the beliefs of your patient and utter the truth to each, so as to preach this gospel to all nationsMatt 28:19 ¶Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: ie Corrected: i.e. , to all assembled multitudes of thought where mind condenses on some point the first ca [?] Unclear or illegible use of all sickness is fear of sickness and a belief that sickness can control the body to any condition it pleases to assume, this is the leading falsehood of error, Sickness is error, truth is harmonious take, the opposite, truth of this belief called sickness and with destroy this error, arguing thus if soul is immortal, is it not superior to mortality? if soul is truth and sickness error, cannot truth destroy it? again if soul is intelligence, and there is no other intelligence then there can be no sensation or suffering given by aught but soul and this punishes men only for sin and never for exposure to air exercise, eating or drinking, unless we are offending morally by so doing you must pluck the beam out of your own eye firstMatt 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Matt 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye. . you must take away the belief to yourself first, ofe Corrected: of all these so calledCorrected:so-called laws of health, which are only the educated laws of belief, by which we suffer the penalty of a of aAs Written:of a belief instead of the punishment of truth

QExpanded:Question What is the most sure and rapid means of advancing in thise [?] Unclear or illegible understanding of this science AnsExpanded:Answer Truth." Wisdom and love, this is the principle, you cannot destroy error by error, if you are profane swearers. if you are adulterers if you are theivesCorrected:thieves, if you are murderers, you would not hesitate to say thes Corrected: these errors must be given up if you would heal with truth, and this is your only means in science that you employ. Now then to advance most rapidly, you will cut off evry Corrected: every offending thought, or motive that is not truth, you will not love money beyonnd Corrected: beyond the appreciation of it as a means of usefullness Corrected: usefulness you will not lie or decieveCorrected:deceive, you will be Just and Merciful, and if you hold any belief that places pleasure in sense, you will be rid of this or how can you destroy it in others? for isnstance never let a student of moral sciensce, think to sucsceed by aught but honesty never go to patient that suffers with from error, with the very error you would destroy, never with a cigar or tobaco Corrected: tobacco in your mouth go to a patient that is sick from the affects Corrected: effects of this very error of belief and as you argue it down, say there is no pleasure in it which is the truth in the case, while you literaly Corrected: literally are saying, there is pleasure in it, by finding it there, your error here is two foldCorrected:twofold, first to find pleasure where it is not, and thus be holding your selfCorrected:yourself in matter when science holds you outside of it, and no sensation there, and secondly by being dishonest Now to advance higher each day, and year of your life in healing the sick, you have to look over your selfCorrected:yourself, and labor here more than you do with your patients, you must ask your selfCorrected:yourself while attempting to heal, do I come with truth to do this or a belief only? if with truth I shal Corrected: shall be living in science, seeing out sideCorrected:outside of [?] Unclear or illegible sense sense and able to read the thoughts of man, because I shal Corrected: shall have passed from sense to soul, in which I shal Corrected: shall realize all happiness in doing good, Now if you learn this only of me and practise Corrected: practice it only for policy, you will have to learn it over again and practise Corrected: practice it only for its truth, and this weight of truth on your side will then show your scientific posi [?] Unclear or illegible tion at the bed sideCorrected:bedside, and your presense Corrected: presence there will often heal the sick without a word on your part or the least contact with their person [*]Archival Note: A metamark that looks like an X appears at this point in the manuscript.

End text enclosed in a circle. for by the time you discharge cargo you will be able to help others out and more readily because you remember how you overcame the beliefs your selfCorrected:yourself that was at war with man in science When you destroy a belief you must also get the belief that caused it, and destroy this also, for instance, science explains all sickness and death a beli [?] Unclear or illegible ef and not truth, Now you may have a sick child and the first arguement Corrected: argument is to say this child is not sick, but is a belief of its parents and that belief embraces all these errors you can readily understand, it has no herrediaryCorrected:hereditary error disease because matter cannot make or create its own conditions you may call a child a herreditary Corrected: hereditary error for such it is for such it is, and just in the ratio, that you can argue down this little error will the man of science the body that is harmonious appear, The first error of this child is that man created it, and that life is here in the form of mortality- this birth existance Corrected: existence and death is all an illusion and is the opposite of truth, it has nothing to do with man, it is the opposite of man and should be destroyed so that man and the principle of man can be understood, you may also have a creed that hides truth Ques. What is sickness? Ans. A belief only, it has no identy identity, and is an image formed in the mind that reflects it selfCorrected:itself in the form it believes, if it be a cancer we in belief we see this, if it be a consumption we see this, and if we do not see it we feel it, for it is a belief of the personal senses, and there it is found, and never in the soul As we have before taught you there is no personal sense, because matter has no sensation, you can readily infer that it is incapable of pain or inflamationCorrected:inflammation, or swelling, or any action independent of mind. sickness or sensation in matter is not a reality, but is an illusion, it is the error that is the opposite of truth. and one that we must grow out of if we are scientifisCorrected:scientific, and learn our immortality iIn order to grow out of this you must avoid speaking of sickness, and you would not ta [?] Unclear or illegible lk of it if you were in truth, for then it would not appear to you, for then you would know the mind of your patient and regard disease all mind and belief and no subtance Corrected: substance in matter, while to your selfCorrected:yourself you would have the same body as now and so would all men and women appear the same in reality The sick are like the insane in this, [?] Unclear or illegible  that a delusion is a reality to them, and you are to break up this belief, disease has the same reality to the sick, that a dream has to the dreamer and if you understand that it has no more reality than a dream, then are you like one waking that can break up the incubus, or dream of another, the sick have only to awaken from this dream of life in matter that you call personal sense to realize themselves well, but to break up this illusion, requires much growth on your part much progress from sense to soul, you are not in the body hence you have not in reality to make this passage, but the dream of another the sick have only to awaken from this dream of life in matter to realize themselves well says that you are. and you are looking and listening to this error and this dream: Then let it be enough to break the fatal spell of belief. that would gather you where you are not- to know that all inharmony is error and that the soul which is you cannot dwell in error. Soul is immortal, and error is mortal turn then from the p [?] Unclear or illegible ersonations of error that say I am disease that can make man mortal in spite of the soul, and listen to the words of wisdom, that said I am the resurection and the lifeJohn 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: this meant not to raise a dead man but to destroy a dead belief that the immortal man might be seen and better understood. Ques.Expanded:Question What is the proper method and the one Jesus used to heal the sick -Ans.Expanded:Answer He cast out error with truth, and this heald Corrected: healed the sick and made Christianity and healing one Ques.Expanded:Question How can I succeed in doing this so that my demonstrations in healing shall be shal wonderful and immediate? Ans.Expanded:Answer By being like Jesus by asking yourself. am I honest am I just am I mercifull Corrected: merciful am pure and being able to respond with your demonstrations. to let what you can do - for the sick answer this, and not your lipes, for if you are becomming Corrected: becoming what is required of you, then are you a law to yourself and will ask am I doing to others as I would that they should do to meMatt 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. , am I seeking the praise of man or the praise of God which means in science, am I asking the soul to approve or am I asking this of sense? and the answer will be found in science by which you may know. If you are seeking money in your practice more than a growth of your own more than to be perfeatly Corrected: perfectly pure and honest and just and meek and loving then are you asking of sense instead of soul for happiness, and your patients will not recover as well. they will gain at first up to you and then you are not sufficiently beyond them and near the soul to carry them away from sense by following you. A stream rises no higher than its fount. if you are vain selfish or avericious Corrected: avaricious or deceiving or unjust when you are practicing healing the sick remember you holding on to an error as strongly as your patient. and the only difference is his is an error of pain in sense, and your is an error of pleasure in sense, or matter, what I say unto you I say unto all watchMark 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Mark 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. , there is no discord here, because there is no truth in discord and no discord in truth now science tells you they are not sick. and you knowing this as you aought can begin to awaken them form Corrected: from this dream or illusion. but if you cannot peirce Corrected: pierce this darkness by a peace be still let this peace return to youMatt 10:12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.

I give consumption for an example only, all belief is to be destroyed in the manner aforesaid, and you are to bear in mind, that all inharmony is a belief and not truth if sickness was truth I would not teach you how to destroy it, and that this science is truth is proved in that it does destroy inharmony and error.
