ChapterAs Written:Chap. 1.st

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 1.st What is man as God created him?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. Man is the idea of a principle eternal with it. and this principleAs Written:pinciple is God which created, the idea man. which was the highest idea of , this eternal Principle.

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 2ndAs Written:2.ond What is this principle?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. Wisdom, love & truth.

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 3.rd What is the idea of this principle?

AnswerAs Written:Ans man.

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 4.th Is man matter?

AnswerAs Written:Ans Certainly not matter, if by matter you mean substance.

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 5th Is there no substance then?

AnswerAs Written:Ans There is substance in principle, there is no other substance.

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 6.th And why not?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. Because substance is an eternal principle, it is also immortal, it is life & not death, therefore it cannot dwell in mortality even for a moment, but it is a principle outside of it. & is intelligence to the idea man; and there is no other intelligenceAs Written:inteligence but the intelligent principle; matter has no intelligence, and belief has no intelligence, for belief is an error. and error is not immortal, it cannot create, neither was it created. it is simply the absence of substance and an illusion.

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 7.th Is substance life, & intelligence? and is there no other substance?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. Certainly there is not.

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 8.th What is intelligence?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. God.

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 9th What is God?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. Wisdom.

QuestionAs Written:Ques 10th What is wisdom?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. A principle.

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 11.th What is a principle?

AnswerAs Written:Ans Intelligence, substance, & life.

[*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.ues 12.th What is intelligence substance & life?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. The principle eternal, or the triune God, viz Wisdom, love & truth: none of which are matter.

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 13.th

How can a principle be distinguished As Written: destinguished from a belief?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. A principle can be learned only of science. and when it is understood it can be demonstrated as truth; a belief requires no proof for it cannot be proved but truth "is known by its works." If inharmony of any sort is manifest, know that truth has not caused it. for the results of Wisdom love & truth. is the results of a principle and a principle cannot change or err all is harmony which results from a principle, but this harmony is not always understood, the principle not being seen. and science, not belief, teaches the principle

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 14.th

Is man a principle, or a belief?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. Wisdom created man and wisdom is a principle. & a principle creates its idea but never a belief, therefore, man was the likeness of God its immortal & eternal principle; but belief says, man is a person & holds life in the idea, or man this is a shadow of shadows & an illusion; therefore belief is not science, for it is not the creation of a principle; the body of man in science is the shadow of substance, and the idea of a principle, and when you make a belief out of an idea you have no principle creating it, therefore that man is a belief is error. When man holds life in his body man is then in error, and gets sick, and sins, because he is by his belief in an error, and must get into science to get back to the principle which controls error and destroys belief

[*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.ues 15th When will man arrive at the understanding of himself?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. When all intelligence he beholds in the principle, & as he returns to his primitive creation will he learn this wisdomAs Written:wisdome love and truth which is the principle of all creation, and thus become an unerring immortality, a principle as he is & not matter as he now reckons himself but is not

QuestionAs Written:Ques 16th How can man understand himself a principle, after so long believing As Written: believeing himself a person?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. By learning this truth of science for science alone can teach a principle, it cannot be learned of a belief..

QuestionAs Written:Ques 17th What is a belief?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. The oppositeAs Written:oposite of truth, for truth is a principle & a principle cannot change or die belief changes & dies.

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 18.th What is the opposite As Written: oposite of truth?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. Error.

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 19.th What is error?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. A belief and not a principle.

QuestionAs Written:Qes. 20.th Is error immortal, is it substance, or intelligenceAs Written:inteligence, which is life?

AnswerAs Written:Ans It is neither of these, inasmuch as it is not wisdom truth and love, and these alone hath eternal life for they are a principle and a principle is God, which is life, intelligenceAs Written:inteligence & substance, there is none other.

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 21.st How can we be a principle when we are in a belief?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. We are a principle because we are immortal, but we cannot hold intelligence As Written: inteligence in a principle and in a belief at the same time, so we hold that intelligenceAs Written:inteligence is in matter, or our body & have to suffer the effect of this error until the error dies and we awaken outsideAs Written:out side of it, or else learn of science this awakening and save the suffering. We must understand a principle in order to hold ourselvesAs Written:our selves in it, and if we are in it we can draw others there, for if we understand it we can explain it.

QuestionAs Written:Ques 22ndAs Written:22ond

Can a person that is clairvoyantAs Written:clarivoyent, i.e.As Written:ie, whi[*]Gap: letters.Reason: page cut. sees outside of his personal senses – or one which heals without matter, not be said to be acting in the principle?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. If this was understood, i.e.As Written:ie, if they understood the science of their doing this and could teach it to others then would they hold their intelligence (which is themselves) in the principle of this phenomena but not until then. Healing the sick. or clairvoyance is like learning music from the ear instead of learning it from the principle in science so as to write & teach it. Unless the principle is understood you cannot act in it and as it never has been taught in science by any written As Written: writen or published ManuscriptsAs Written:MSS. from any known individual but me, I claim that it cannot have been understood, except by Elijah, Jesus, his disciplesAs Written:desciples and Paul. and their writings do not teach it unless you understand their scientific meaning, and not the interpretations which beliefs hath given them. Perhaps even then science was not fully seen then, but their music that was perfect, i.e.As Written:ie, their healing & phenomena was learned of having seen it & heard it from Jesus. That which is understood can be explained and taught and this is to hold our intelligence in its principle, that which is practice only and not understood is a belief, and in doing that the intelligence is in a belief andAs Written:amd not in the principle. But a copy of truth is better than a copy of error, hence when they cast out devilsAs Written:devels & healed the sick in the past andAs Written:ant present ages in the "name of Christ" they were not forbiddenAs Written:forbiden, but the MasterEditorial Note: Jesus Christ saith "many shall come in my name"Matt 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. To come in the name of truth is not to come in truth Christ was "the Truth & life,"John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. so if they had healed in the principle, they would have understood it, but as they healed in its name only it was a belief to them & the world no wiser for it

[*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.ues 23rd How shall we explain this science to a student, or to the sick so as to draw them away from beliefs so as to take them into the principle where all is understood and consequentlyAs Written:consequenty all is harmony?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. By commencing with their standpointsAs Written:stand points of belief and arguing them down, and when reason is convinced, that is a growth, and growth is a chemical change which does not retrograde. Your cure is wisdom, if your work is done in scienceEditorial Note: Christian Science, you cure upon a principle which contradicts & destroys belief, because it explains it away and that which is understood we have no belief about, This is truth destroying error as by the chemical process of opposites meeting, in which the one destroys the other, or of the positive principle destroying the negative belief for negation belongs to error. this is what we call in healing the sick, a chemical change. its symptomsAs Written:symtoms are a stirred As Written: stired up condition in which all the ailments seem aggravated As Written: agravated or otherwise an opening of the avenues of the body or beliefs in which the dissolving error passes offEditorial Note: This is a reference to what Mary Baker Eddy calls “chemicalization.” Eddy uses this term to refer to a temporary stirring up of symptoms or process of “ fermentation” as errors of various types are being destroyed..

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 24.th In teaching this scienceEditorial Note: Christian Science which is the leading error to be attacked?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. The first error of matter birth, viz the belief that man made you and that life was ever born into matter, or the body. This belief you are to assail with the opposite As Written: oposite truth, that all life is a principle outside of matter. Your truth being positive and eternal and their negative error being mortal, truth will destroy this belief in a degree so as to enable them to commence an understanding of the principle which they are, and which alone the eternal Principle Wisdom, created.

[*]Gap: letters.Reason: page cut.es. 25,th How should we proceed to destroy a belief?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. Your creation is to be the creation of wisdom when it creates the idea of truth which is the body, or man. You are to move upon the waves of intelligence first by addressing, their spiritual senses until your patient begins to perceiveAs Written:percieve truth through the understanding, but this perception may not come to the personal senses As Written: seenses for a little time after this, and yet the personal senses which is their body & the body is their belief, will be affected by it. After forming the idea of truth in the spiritual senses, then you are to impress the personal senses through their belief and explain away the error This is when the creation wrought by a principle saith "let there be light and there is light"Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. When the intelligence begins to explain the the principle, this is "being born again"John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named
Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
John 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
which is necessary to establish the "Kingdom of Heaven". which is the reign of the understanding This first formation in a principle and out of belief is as a blade of grass springing upward by degrees the understanding grows into truth, and as that growth so shall be the next in order of creation until "you learn a parable of the fig tree"Matt 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: Matt 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Matt 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Matt 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Mark 13:28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: Mark 13:29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. Mark 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. Luke 21:29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; Luke 21:30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. Luke 21:31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Luke 21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. and you see a growth blossoming that bears fruit, i.e.As Written:ie, it brings along with it higher truth, clearer apprehension, until it reaches the principle , and this is the full understanding when you see God. i.e.As Written:ie, see truth a principle. Then are you "born again" & this is "the end of the world," "when lo! the summer is near" the time to mature the seeds of wisdom Man is out of matter just in proportion as he is out of belief and he is out of be lief just in proportion to his being in the understanding of his principle.

[*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.ues. 26.th In what manner are the spiritual and personal [*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.enses, or in other words is the intelligence and the belief of man to be taught this truth?

[*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.ns. The practical application, or art of applying this science to the idea man so that he may be affected by it, Is first to leave your own belief or body when you will be in the principle & there be able to speak to another this principle which immediately controlsAs Written:controles the body. If this wisdom be not yet fully attained, the next method is by rubbing the head, while you at the same time take yourself utterly away from [*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.ll thoughts of his complaints, or their locality in matter [*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.nd looking away from all beliefs of man, attach your wisdom to the principle which speaks to the principle (for it is truth that heals, or destroys error) instead of addressing the personal senses of your patient in your arguments to convince his judgment that his belief is all the disease he has, and that Christ, or truth, said to this belief "it was a liar from the begining, and the truth abode not in it"John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. I John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Showing him that the knowledge of man has deceived As Written: decieved him and that he has passed into a belief from which truth alone can awaken him, and thus destroy it; and when this devil is cast out the dumb will speak, the deaf hear, the lame walkMatt 11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, Matt 11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? Matt 11:4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: Matt 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. et ceteraAs Written:&C. After this mode of arguing down the error of belief that life or sensation is in matter which requires three successive sittings, then speak to the student or patient verbally bringing this truth into personal contact with his belief, and explain the principle to him so that he may more clearly understand. but in doing this you are to "be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove"Matt 10:16 ¶Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. Be not abrupt in giving any sudden wrench from old opinions by saying too suddenly you are not sick but reason him into listening gladly to this before you say it, and always support by undisputable logic and truth that which you assert

[*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.ues. 27. What is the principle of this science?

AnswerAs Written:Ans God. and this is Wisdom. love and truth. Explain to the student that God is a principle instead of a person and this truth will be able to destroy the error of their educated belief that God is a person and changes for the prayers of man to give immediate response in some miracle – instead of God being an unchanging principle the work of which was finished after evry idea of it it was createdGen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. . If you enable them to look away from their educated beliefs, then will they begin to see this, i.e.As Written:ie. to understand it in their spiritual senses, and perceive how man was the image and likeness of wisdom that is the principle and idea outside of matter, and consequently outside of the body, for if he were in it he must be of it and then he would be mortal; hence the folly of belief, which admits man immortal and then places his immortality in mortality! this error also attempts to place a principle in a belief, a truth in an error, all of which the doctrines and theories of man attempt out of science. This is the madness Christ assailed in accusingAs Written:acusing them of gauthering grapes of thornsMatt 7:15 ¶Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matt 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Matt 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Matt 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Matt 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Matt 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

II Cor 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? showing the inconsistency of belief that puts immortality into mortality.

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 28.th When teaching this truth is the learner first to understand he is a principle, and not a person & secondly, that life the principle outside of his body is himself

AnswerAs Written:Ans, Certainly, and this will commence to take him into intelligence away from the error of his belief that life is in matter and [*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.s that error which holds him from the understanding of this principle of science, and that error which holds man from understanding God in truth & which has hitherto explained him a belief, a person & error.

QuestionAs Written:Ques. 29th Which is the next error to destroy by this truth of science that man is a principle outside of matter?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. Science explains a principle, and is therefore the mediator between matter & principle or belief & Wisdom, then to explain the principle teaches the science by which we learn it, Therefore you are to commence with the phenomena of a principle and explain that in its relations to the principle, reasoning from effect to cause. The body of man is that which we see with our personal senses or belief, and we call it matter & matter substance this is an error and simply a belief it is not science for there are no proofs that substance is mortal. and belief is proved mortal and mutable There are proofs that principle is immortal, and this body which is a belief of matter is mortal. Christ demonstrated this truth when he reproduced his body from its eternal principle and called the body of his disciples' As Written: desciples belief a ghost! i.e.As Written:ie, a belief, and illusion. His body he held in truth and held it in science immortal as the phenomena As Written: phenomana of its principle, in other words, the idea of the principle, & the shadow of himself [?] Unclear or illegible  which was the principle and substance. This was its scientific creation by the Father Principle, and understanding this science he could demonstrate his control over belief which is called matter, and heal the body or belief which was sick through this error, of that life & intelligence was in their body. Also, holding his body in science he had no weight in it for no error of substance in matter was there, hence he could take it over the waveMatt 14:22 ¶And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. Matt 14:23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. Matt 14:24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. Matt 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. Matt 14:26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. Matt 14:27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. Matt 14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. Matt 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. Matt 14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. Matt 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Matt 14:32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Matt 14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. Matt 14:34 ¶And when they were gone over, they came into the land of
Gennesaret.
Mark 6:45 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. Mark 6:46 And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray. Mark 6:47 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. Mark 6:48 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them. Mark 6:49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out: Mark 6:50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. Mark 6:51 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered. Mark 6:52 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened. Mark 6:53 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. John 6:15 ¶When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. John 6:16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, John 6:17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. John 6:18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. John 6:19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. John 6:20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. John 6:21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
and control all conditions of belief. there are no conditions of matter. If there had been, he could never have walked upon the waveMatt 14:22 ¶And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. Matt 14:23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

John 2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. John 2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. John 2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. John 2:6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. John 2:7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. John 2:8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. John 2:9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, John 2:10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. , multiplied the loavesMatt 14:13 ¶When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. Matt 14:14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. Matt 14:15 ¶And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. Matt 14:16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. Matt 14:17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. Matt 14:18 He said, Bring them hither to me. Matt 14:19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. Matt 14:20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. Matt 14:21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children. Mark 6:31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. Mark 6:32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. Mark 6:33 And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him. Mark 6:34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. Mark 6:35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed: Mark 6:36 Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat. Mark 6:37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? Mark 6:38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. Mark 6:39 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass. Mark 6:40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties. Mark 6:41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. Mark 6:42 And they did all eat, and were filled. Mark 6:43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. Mark 6:44 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men. Luke 9:12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place. Luke 9:13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people. Luke 9:14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company. Luke 9:15 And they did so, and made them all sit down. Luke 9:16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. Luke 9:17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets. John 6:1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. John 6:2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. John 6:3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. John 6:4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. John 6:5 ¶When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? John 6:6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. John 6:7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. John 6:8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him, John 6:9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? John 6:10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. John 6:11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. John 6:12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. John 6:13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. John 6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. Matt 15:32 ¶Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. Matt 15:33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? Matt 15:34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. Matt 15:35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. Matt 15:36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. Matt 15:37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. Matt 15:38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children. Matt 15:39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala. Mark 8:1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, Mark 8:2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: Mark 8:3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far. Mark 8:4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? Mark 8:5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. Mark 8:6 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people. Mark 8:7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. Mark 8:8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. Mark 8:9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away. et ceteraAs Written:&C, but this he could do in science understanding the principle for he (ie the principle) & father, which was this principle, were oneJohn 10:30 I and my Father are one. , and he could demonstrate this wisdom in all he did. The devil he cast out was belief, the truth he taught was an eternal principle in science . By this teaching and scientific demonstration of the Principle Father he saved man from the error of placing through a belief "good and evil" in his body or in matter; which error had betrayed the understanding of man into false beliefs, such as these. that the atmosphere held a good or evil for man, that food held health or sickness (which is harmony or inharmony, equivalentAs Written:equievalent to good & evil) for man; that exercise held the same control;—and these beliefs he cast out instead of recommending hygiene As Written: hygine for his cure, and thus cherishing error. Now if this which I have written had become wisdom to you you could do the work of Christ, i.e.As Written:ie, if you had passed utterly out of belief into the principle of this;– you may know when this is a belief merely or an understanding with you by this test.

This is to understand truth, and then you are , in this principle, yea you are the true vine of which this Father Wisdom is the husband manJohn 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. . Then can you act independent of belief when you understand, independent of that which is named matter, and manifest the phenomena of a principle, which you are and which can control matter.

Matt 14:26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. Matt 14:27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. Matt 14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. Matt 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. Matt 14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. Matt 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? silence this argument of error & remember that you are a servant of that to which you yield yourself the servant to obeyRom 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? through your belief and yet over all matter Wisdom in the creation gave you dominionGen 1:26 ¶And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. .

(and all truth is principle) as is earth, the body of Wisdom, and not the body of belief Remember if you understand this you can heal the sick by casting out their error belief. and thus deliver them from the body of this deathRom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? ; When you can do this understanding how you do it this is your demonstration that you have understood so far, the principle that controls matter.

QuestionAs Written:Ques 30 What is matter?

AnswerAs Written:Ans Nothing. there is no part of speech to which it belongs That which is called matter is a shadow of substance, but believing it substance, makes it error, thereforeAs Written:there fore matter is an error and belief The principle of man, . is not in matter but is the immortal soul of which his body is the idea. , this body of belief is error for the principle would be lost if life dwelt with death this is a belief only for it cannot be truth, therefore it is not science. It is this belief that you are in your body which causes your entire error that sickness & death belong of necessity to maan.

[*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.ues. 31.st Did wisdom create error?

[*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.ns. Error was not a creation; in order to be created, there must be something to create, but error is illusion a dream, and not a reality, a belief and not a truth error is this belief that we live in matter, therefore this body is an error; and as Jesus named it, a ghost! to be given up when we understand As Written: enderstand our immortality and learn to live in substance instead of shadow, in life, instead of death! where alone we do live in truth.

[*]Gap: letters.Reason: page cut.es. 32ndAs Written:32.ond Is this to be talked to a patient & student at first?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. Not to their belief or personal senses for they could not understand but you must first speak this to their spiritual senses, with the "still small small voice" of WisdomI Kings 19:12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. , your lips need not utter it until you have sown your seed there and then you can bring it to the soil of belief, i.e.As Written:ie, speak it to the personal sense. This will take their intelligence away from matter and your truth will dissolve their error; if it be a tumor consumption, dyspepsia, et ceteraAs Written:&C, or if in the absence of these individualized errors, it be only the general one that you live in matter, and are to call on matter for good and evil, as for instance Ask of exercise to give you warmth, and quicken circulationAs Written:circulatin ask of diet to keep your stomach in order in short Ask of matter that which God alone can give namely all good, and He never gave good through matter good is truth and truth is not in belief truth is a principle All which is called matter in the physical world is the idea of truth, the idea of a principle. therefore in this truth of science it is good and named thus in creation; but when the knowledge which came of error, said "good & evil'Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. is in [*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.atter, it lied, but man believed the lie and commenced asking good of knowledge, asking it of hygieneAs Written:hygine, of physiology, materia medica and with what result? We answer, in the day he ate thereof, ie, in the day he partook of this belief he lost sight of truth and found error, passed into his body in his belief and gave inteligence to matter, this brought death sickness & sin, (all of which are error) into the belief of manGen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. .

[*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.ues. 33.rd What are the personal senses?

AnswerAs Written:Ans. There is no such thing as personal sense. What we call those are seeing, hearing, tasting smelling & feeling, Now there is no power to see in your eye else if you should place it in your hand it would see. The optic nerve if dissevered from you which is the principle of this idea could not effect seeing; withdraw your intelligence from all these as in the case in sleep, and can they receiveAs Written:recieve an impression of touch, hearing, seeing et ceteraAs Written:&c? certainly they cannot. Therefore personal senses when regarded in the truth of science, which is to understand the principle of them, is a shadow of the spiritual senses, an idea of their principle, and in this light of understanding Christ this truth principle could control them restore them et ceteraAs Written:&C. But the personal senses regarded as knowledge teaches them, are a belief of matter, an illusion & error and are proved so by the inharmony they produce giving sensation of pain, the belief of death et ceteraAs Written:&C. There is no death, there is no pain in matter. This is the bugbear of a winter's As Written: winters eve it is the knowledge which was "not the tree of lifeGen 2:9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. [*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.e. a growth of the principle) but it was that which [*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.aid in the beginning As Written: begining as today it saith, I will make you as Gods to know good from evilGen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. . And Man has believed it and chosen other Gods before meEx 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. saith the principle. Belief, & knowledge, are not of wisdom. Wisdom is a principle, and the understanding is its spiritual senses, but belief belongs to error, the error that life is in matter which cannot be . Wisdom is God, and this is the principle life, outside of all sense instinct with reason and truth?

QuestionAs Written:Ques, 34,th What is sickness.?

AnswerAs Written:Ans, Nothing, it is neither a person, place, or thing; but it is a suffering in belief . Now let us next consider what causes it; if truth produced it there would follow harmony and happiness, for in science the "tree is known by its fruit"Luke 6:43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Luke 6:44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. and the effects are like the cause, truth produces truth, harmony, harmony et ceteraAs Written:&C, error produces error, inharmony, inharmony. Now as truth cannot produce inharmony, as Jesus argued, any more thanAs Written:then "figs can be gathered of thistles"Matt 7:15 ¶Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matt 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? settle this question at once, that sickness being inharmony cannot be the result of truth. As sickness is a suffering, and suffering cannot exist without mind , we find sickness is a suffering in the mind or belief and as mans belief is his body, this belief brings the suffering there. Now if he understood that he lived not there, he could have no pain as the effect of this error of belief; if he held that himself the intelligence and principle Wisdom was outside of matter , he would hold himself truth and no pain could come from Wisdom and truth; but the results of thse controlling As Written: controling his body, would be just as harmonious as the results of an idea in mathematics controlled As Written: controled by its principle; and this would be eternal science. in which this idea man was created immortal because he was truth, and happy because he was ever right. therefore Sickness is an error of belief

[*]Gap: letters.Reason: page cut.es 35th Is decayed lungs, a tumor, a cancer et ceteraAs Written:&C, a belief only?

AnswerAs Written:Ans They are. Have we not shown you that error produces these and what is error but a belief. Man has allowed this fatal belief 1st That his body is matter & matter is substance, so if matter is substance his soul or principle must be secondary to matter & just so it is in his belief for in this belief he steps upon the pebbly As Written: pebly shore afraid of the wave & says it can drown As Written: drowm me he stays within gloomy cells believing he cannot open the prison door to his captive soul! And true he cannot, until he learns that his body is a ghost and he alone substance that can wander at will & that matter is a belief of substance, and an impedimen[*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut. and yielding to this belief closes him As Written: hin within its iron rule. understanding this will enable him to cast out the belief of tumor, cancer, et ceteraAs Written:&c. from his soul, and the effect will show at once on his body for it cannot be there first; The soul is master whether we believe it or not.

Ques.Expanded:Question 4.th Is the body of man man matter?

AnsExpanded:Answer Certainly it is not matter, if by matter you mean substance.

Ques.Expanded:Question 5th Is there no substance then?

AnsExpanded:Answer There is substance in principle, there is no other substance.

Ques.Expanded:Question 6.th And why not?

Ans.Expanded:Answer Because substance is an eternal principle, it is also immortal, it is life & not death, therefore it cannot dwell in mortality even for a moment, but it is a principle outside of it. & is the intelligence of to the idea man; & and there is no other inteligenceCorrected:intelligence but the intelligencent of principle; matter has no intelligence, and beflief has no intelligence, for belief is an error. and error is not immortal, it cannot create, neither was it created. it is simply the absence of substance and an illusion.

Ques.Expanded:Question 7.th Is substance life, & intelligence? and is there no other substance?

Ans.Expanded:Answer Certainly there is not.

Ques.Expanded:Question 8.th What is intelligence?

[*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.ues 12.th What is intelligence substance & life?

Ans.Expanded:Answer The principle eternal, or the triune God, viz Wisdom, love & truth: none of which are matter.

Ques.Expanded:Question 13.th

How can a principle be destinguished Corrected: distinguished from a belief?

Ans.Expanded:Answer A principle can be learned only of science. and when it is learned understood it can be demonstrated as truth; a belief requires no proof for it cannot be proved but truth "is known by its works." If inharmony of any sort is manifest [?] Unclear or illegible , know that truth has not caused it. for the results of Wisdom love & truth. is the refsults of a principle and a principle cannot change or err all is harmony which results from e a principle, but this harmony is not always understood, the principle not being seen. and science, not beflief, teaches the principle

Ques.Expanded:Question 14.th

Is man a principle, or a belief?

Ans.Expanded:Answer Wisdom created the body of man and wisdom is a principle. & a principle creates an its idea but never a belief, therefore, man was the likeness of God an its immortal & eternal principle; but belief says, man is a person & holds life in the idea, or body of man this is a shadow of shadows & an illusion; therefore belief is not science, for it is not the creation of a principle; the body of man in science is the shadow of substance, & the and the idea of a principle, and when you make a belief out of an idea you have no principle creating it, therefore that man is a belief it is the effect of error. When man holds the belief of life in his body man is then in error, and gets sick, and sins, because he is by his belief in an error, and must get into science to get back to the principle which controls error and destroys belief

[*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.ues 15th When will man arrive at the understanding of himself?

QuesExpanded:Question 156th How can man understand himself a principle, after so long believeing Corrected: believing himself a person?

Ans.Expanded:Answer By learning this truth of science for science alone can teach a principle, it cannot be learned of a belief..

Ans.Expanded:Answer Error.

Ques.Expanded:Question 19.th What is error?

Ans.Expanded:Answer A belief and not a principle.

Qes.Expanded:Question 20.th Is error immortal, is it substance, or inteligenceCorrected:intelligence, which is life?

AnsExpanded:Answer It is neither of all these, inasmuch as it is not wi [?] Unclear or illegible sdom truth or and love, and these alone hath eternal life for they are a principle and a principle is God, which is life, inteligenceCorrected:intelligence & substance, there is none other.

Ques.Expanded:Question 21.st When How can we be in a principle when we are in a belief?

Ans.Expanded:Answer We are a principle because we are immortal, but we cannot hold our inteligence Corrected: intelligence in a principle and in a belief at the same time, so we hold [?] Unclear or illegible  that inteligenceCorrected:intelligence is in matter, or our body & have to suffer the effect of this error iuntil the error dies and we awaken out sideCorrected:outside of it, or else learn of science this awakening and save the suffering.

Perhaps even then science was not fully seen then, but their music that was perfect, ieCorrected:i.e., their healing & phenomena was learned of having seen it & heard it from Jesus. That which is understood can be explained and taught and this is to hold our intelligence in its principle, that which is practice only and not understood is a belief, and in doing that the intelligence is in a belief amdCorrected:and not in the principle.

To come in the name of truth is not to come in truth Christ was "the Truth & life,"John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. so if they had healed in the principle, they would have understood it, but as they healed in its name only it was a belief to them & the world no wiser for it

Ques.Expanded:Question 24.th In teaching this scienceEditorial Note: Christian Science which is the leading error to be attacked?

Ans.Expanded:Answer The first error of matter birth, viz the belief that man made you and that life was ever born into matter, or the body. This belief you are to assail with the oposite Corrected: opposite truth, that all life is a principle outside of matter. Your truth being positive and eternal and their neg [?] Unclear or illegible ative error being mortal, truth will destroy this belief in a degree so as to enable them to commence an return to understanding of the principle which they are, and which alone the eternal Principle Wisdom, created.

[*]Gap: letters.Reason: page cut.es. 25,th How should we proceed to d [?] Unclear or illegible estroy a belief?

Ans.Expanded:Answer Your creation is to be like the creation of wisdom when it createds the idea of truth which was is the body, [?] Unclear or illegible or man. You are to move upon the waves of intelligence first by addressing, their spiritual senses until your patient begins to percieveCorrected:perceive truth through the understanding, but this perception may not come to the personal seenses Corrected: senses for a little time after this, and yet the personal senses which is their body & the body is their belief, will be affected by it. OAftenr forming the idea of truth in the spiritual senses, then you are to impress the personal senses through their belief and explain away the error This is when the creation wrought by a principle saith "let there be light and there is light"Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. When the intelligence begins to explain the form anew in the principle, this is "being born agaisn"John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named
Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
John 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Ans.Expanded:Answer Science explains a principle, and is therefore the mediator between matter & principle or belief & Wisdom, then to explain the principle teaches the science by which we learn it, Therefore you are to commence with the phenomena of a principle and explain that in its relations to the principle, reasoning from effect to cause. The body of man is that which we see with our personal senses or belief, and we call it matter & matter substance this is an error and simply a belief it is not science for there are no proofs that substance is mortal. and belief is proved mortal and mutable There are proofs that principle is immortal, and this our body which is a belief of matter is mortal.

This was its scientific creation by the Father Principle, and understanding this science he could demonstrate his control over belief which is called matter, and heal the body or belief which was sick through theis opposite error, of that life & intelligence was in their body. Also, holding his body in science he had no weight in it for no error of substance in matter was being there, hence he could take it over the waveMatt 14:22 ¶And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

Matt 14:15 ¶And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. Matt 14:16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. Matt 14:17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. Matt 14:18 He said, Bring them hither to me. Matt 14:19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

Matt 14:21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children. Mark 6:31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

[*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.ns. Error was not a creation; in order to be created, there must be something to create, but error is illusion a dream, and not a reality, a belief and not a truth error is this body of belief that we live in matter, therefore this body is an error; and as Jesus named it, a ghost! to be given up when we enderstand Corrected: understand our immortality and learn to live in substance instead of shadow, in life, instead of death! where alone we do live in truth.

Ans.Expanded:Answer Not to their belief or personal senses for they could not understand but you must first speak this to their spiritual senses, with the "still small small voice" of WisdomI Kings 19:12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. , your lips need not utter it until you have sown your seed there and then you can bring it to the soil of belief, ieCorrected:i.e., speak it to the personal sense. This will take their intelligence away from matter and your truth will dissolve their error; if it be a tumor consumption, dyspepsia, &CExpanded:et cetera, or if itn the absence of these individualized errors, it be only the general one that you live in matter, and are to call on matter for good and evil, as for instance Ask of exercise to give you warmth, and quicken circulatinCorrected:circulation ask of diet to keep your stomach in order in short Ask of matter that which [?] Unclear or illegible God alone can give namely all good, and He never gave good through matter good is truth and truth is not in belief truth is a principle All which is called matter in the physical world is the effect idea of truth, the idea of a principle. therefore in theis truth of science it is good and named thus in creation; but when the knowledge which came of error, said "good & evil'Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. is in [?] Unclear or illegible  [*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.atter, it lied, but man believed the lie and commenced asking good of knowledge, asking it of hygineCorrected:hygiene, of physiology, mate [?] Unclear or illegible ria me [?] Unclear or illegible dica and with what result? We answer, in the day he ate thereof, ie, in the day he partook of this belief he lost sight of truth and found error, passed into his body in his belief and gave inteligence to matter, this brought death sickness & sin, (all of which are error) into the belief of manGen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. .

[*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut.ues. 33.rd What are the personal senses?

Ans.Expanded:Answer There is no such thing as personal sense. What we call that isose are seeing, hearing, tasting smelling & feeling, Now there is no power to see in your eye else if you should place it in your hand it would see. The optic nerve if dissevered from you which is the principle of this idea could not effect seeing; withdraw your intelligence from afll these as in the case in sleep, and can they recieveCorrected:receive an impression of touch, hearing, seeing &cExpanded:et cetera? certainly they cannot. Therefore personal senses when regarded in the truth of science, which is to understand the principle of them, is a shadow of the spiritual senses, an idea of their principle, and in this light of understanding Christ theis truth of this principle could control them restore them &CExpanded:et cetera. But the personal senses regarded as knowledge teaches them, are a belief of matter, an illusion & error and are proved so by the inharmony they produce giving sensation of pain, the belief of death &CExpanded:et cetera. There is no death, there is no pain in matter. This is the bugbear of a winters Corrected: winter's eve it is the knowledge which was "not the tree of lifeGen 2:9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

And Man has believed it and chosen other Gods before meEx 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. saith the principle. Belief, & knowledge, are not of wisdom. Wisdom is a principle, and the understanding is its spiritual senses, but belief belongs to error, th [?] Unclear or illegible e error of that life is in matter which cannot be understood.

Ques,Expanded:Question 34,th What is sickness.?

Ans,Expanded:Answer Nothing, it is neither a person, place, or thing; but it is a suffering of in belief the intelligence, or man. Now let ius next consider what causes it; if truth produced it there would follow harmony and happiness, for in science the "tree is known by its fruit"Luke 6:43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Luke 6:44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. and the effects are like the cause, truth produces truth, harmony, harmony &CExpanded:et cetera, error produces error, inharmony, inharmony. Now as truth cannot produce inharmony, as Jesus argued, any more thenCorrected:than "figs can be gathered of thistles"Matt 7:15 ¶Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matt 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? settle this question at once, that sickness being inharmony cannot be the result of truth. As sickness ais a suffering, and suffering cannot exist without mind inteligence, we find sickness is a suffering in the mind or belief intelligence, or soul, and as mans believesf he lives ins his body, this belief [?] Unclear or illegible  brings the suffering there. CNow if he understood that he lived not there, he could have no pain as the effect of this error of belief; if he held that himself the intelligence in [?] Unclear or illegible  and principle where Wisdom was outside of matter placed it, he would hold it in himself truth and no pain could come from Wisdom and truth; but the results of these controling Corrected: controlling his body, would be just as harmonious as the results of an idea in mathematics controled Corrected: controlled by its principle; and this would be eternal science. in which theis idea of man was created immortal because he was truth, and happy because he was ever right. therefore Sickness is an error of belief
