Questions and answeres Corrected: answers in Moral Science:

By Mary Baker Glover.

Ques.Expanded:Question What is God?

Ans.Expanded:Answer A Principle; Wisdom; Love and Truth,

Ques.Expanded:Question What is this principle?

Ans.Expanded:Answer Life and intelligence,

Ques.Expanded:Question What is life and intelligence?

Ans.Expanded:Answer Soul,

Ques.Expanded:Question Then what is God?

Ans.Expanded:Answer The soul of man and the universe,

Ques.Expanded:Question Is God man?

Ans.Expanded:Answer No, they are perfectly distinct and yet united, Soul is not man nor is that which we call soul in man while they ever are united as substance & its shadow,

Ques.Expanded:Question Then what is man?

Ans.Expanded:Answer The idea of this principle and soul is the principle and 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 Science that man has no 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 substance intelligence & life from the soul,

Ques.Expanded:Question What is matter?

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

QuesExpanded:Question Is the body of man matter?

AnsExpanded:Answer Yes, because man has not a body and because matter is as substance is not the idea of God, The soul has a body and this is immortal, because it is the idea of its principle, and is not a belief of substance, intelligence and life in matter, but holds these in the soul and man the idea of the [?] Unclear or illegible m, this man is the body of the soul and not the body of man, therefore this body of man is the belief of life, intelligence and substance, in matter, when science proves that none of these are in matter, hence a mortal man is not the idea of immortality and he cannot be the idea of the soul, and for nothing of sickness, of decay or sin gives an idea of God, the soul,

Ques.Expanded:Question What is the man that is sick and mortal?

Ans.Expanded: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 substance & intelligence in the soul and this soul outside the body and giving forth its idea as substance its shadow, Now the body we call man that is inharmonious and mortal is a belief that life substance and intelligence are in this body, that the soul is here, hence intelligence and life is in matter; from this false premises flow the error that is mortal, and is the man that is sick and mortal,

Ques.Expanded:Question Is mortality a belief? is sickness a belief? and 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, [?] Unclear or illegible Do you think drugs, air, diet, e [?] Unclear or illegible tc. would heal the sick if God the intelligence and truth of man had caused the sickness? if matter is superior to God then we admit that faith 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 substance in itself, and 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 the idea of the soul, hence this belief is not 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 an idea of substance and life, and the one we see is a belief of substance and death, a belief of substance and death in matter, instead of the truth that holds matter a shadow of 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 immortal sense that contradicts sense in matter,

Ques.Expanded:Question 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 of personal sense, we must learn it through science and this is to learn it of a principle and this principle is 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 errs. There is no sense that belongs to matter, the fi [?] Unclear or illegible ve personal senses are but a paradox and error of words, Matter has no intelligence no sensation and these senses are a belief that it has, and this belief is an error, therefore that we ask these senses for pleasure is the foundation 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 teaching and practiceingCorrected:practicing it, Now when there is pain or suffering you find it in sense. therefore you are to contradict this sense with science that say's Corrected: says there is no reality in aught but God's giving, and this principle cannot give inharmony, and this good, evil, hence you must argue down this false seeming, this belief begotten of man and learn born of woman instead of God, and my proof to you that these statements are 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 destroyed a person, place, nor thing, you have only through a metaphisical Corrected: metaphysical process destroyed a belief and th [?] Unclear or illegible at the consumption is gone when this is accomplished proves to you that sensation in matter is only an illusion and belief which science contradicts.

Ques.Expanded:Question What is belief? according to the bible cannot you believe & be saved?Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Ans.Expanded:Answer This never me [?] Unclear or illegible ant a blind belief it meant the faith that hath hathAs Written:hath works, that higher understanding of God by which we give up the evidences 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 ourselves with GodJob 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 understanoods truth and Martha believesd in it onlyLuke 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 ise of a principle and its idea for this teaches t [?] Unclear or illegible  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 errors 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 belief, for instance if you destroy consumption through this metaphisical Corrected: metaphysical process yet might your patient have a sore throat left or some other error [?] Unclear or illegible  belief,,

Ques.Expanded:Question Is all sickness but a belief?

Ans.Expanded:Answer It is, there is no truth in inharmony, for truth would at once restore harmony, and all belief is error. for you should learn this 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. because it is not a principle nor its idea. principle is immortal and gives harmony to its idea. and if sickness was truth or the idea of it, you could not destroy it and it would be an error to try 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 to the problem of man,

Ques.Expanded:Question When healing the sick which belief 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, so you must not think of the sallow skin, of the deranged bowels, but of the eternal harmony of every man in science, there hold 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"Matt 7:29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. depart ye that work iniquityMatt 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. all that brings inharmony from him and then take up the arguments of science to talk down this belief. this you can do mentally as you rub the head or sit by the patient, and afterwards 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. ie Corrected: i.e. to the uneducated mind thought but bring up the patient by degrees to see the truth you utter, It is necessary to shock or startle the mind sometimes in order to move it away from its position of belief. when this is 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 charatableCorrected:charitable towards himself, pityfullCorrected:pitiful, and loving, and for the good of your patient alone you have thus spoken the truth. wWhen 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 you understand perfectly the cause of all these symptoms and will tell you them when you they recover but not now, You are not to give names to sickness but are to unname it by destroying it, You must in argueingCorrected:arguing down a belief mentally as you attend upon a patient call it by name for unless you do, it will not by destroyed in many instances, but you are to avoid admiting Corrected: admitting this name to the sick because you are trying to blot it out and not to preserve it in belief. You must take up all the beliefs of your patient and utter the truth to each so 'as to preach this gospll to all nationsMatt 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matt 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: Matt 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. ' ieCorrected:i.e., to all assembled multidudes Corrected: multitudes of thought where mind condenses on some point, The first cause 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 harmony, now take the opposite – truth – of to this belief and with it destroy this error – argue 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 no suffering given by aught but soul and this punishes man 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 7:5 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 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 belief, instead of the punishment of truth,

Ques.Expanded:Question What is the most sure and rapid means of advanceing Corrected: advancing in the understanding of this science,

Ans.Expanded:Answer Truth, Wisdom and [?] Unclear or illegible love, this is the principle, you cannot destroy error by error, and if you are profane swearers, if you are adulterers, if you are thieves, if you are murderers, you would not hesitate to say these errors must be given up if you would [?] Unclear or illegible al heal with truth and this is your only means in science that you employ, Now then, to advance most rapidly you will cut off every offending thought or motive that is not truth, You will not love money beyond the appreciation of it as a means of usefullnessCorrected:usefulness, you will not lie [?] Unclear or illegible nor deceive, you will be just and mercifullCorrected:merciful, and if you hold any habit that pleaaces pleasure in sense you will be rid of this or how can you destroy it in others? For instance, never let a student of moral science think to succeeds by ought but honesty, never go to a patient that suffers from error with the very error you would destroy, never with a cigar or tobacco in your mouth go to a patient that is sick from the 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 [?] Unclear or illegible case – while you literally are saying there is pleasure in it by finding it there, Your error here is twofold: first to find pleasure where it is not and thus be holding 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 yourself and labor more here than you do with your patients, You must ask yourself while attempting to heal, do I come with truth to do this, or a belief only? if with truth I shall be living in science, seeing outside of sense, and able to read the thoughts of man because I shall have passed from sense to soul in which I shall realisze all happiness in doing good, now if you learn this only of me, and practice it only for policy, you will have to learn it over again and learn it only for its truth, and this weight of truth on your side will then show your scientific position at the bed sideCorrected:bedside and your presence there will often heal the sick with outCorrected:without a word on your part or the least contact with their person,

Ques.Expanded:Question If after I begin to heal or attempt this and fail, what will be the cause?

Ans.Expanded:Answer This will not be if after I have instructed you by MSS.Expanded:manuscripts and lessons and you do not succeed to a very great extent you certainly will able to do enough to satisfy yourself that all you need to do infinitely more is to obey the rules laid down in this science, When you see an error of your own destroy it and then go on with yourself and your success will then be certain. for by the time you discharg[*]Gap: letter.Reason: page cut. cargo you will be able to help others out- and more readily because you remember how you overcame the beliefs yourself that were at war with man in science, Wwhen 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 belief and not truth, now you may have a sick child, and the first 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 easily understand it has no hereditary disease, because matter cannot make its own condition, You may call a child an heredetaryCorrected:hereditary error for such it is and just in the ratio that you can argue down this little error will the man of science, the man thas Corrected: that is harmonious – appear, The first error of this child is that man created it and that life is here in the form of mortallity Corrected: 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,

QuesExpanded:Question What is sickness?

Ans.Expanded:Answer An error, A belief only, it has no identity and is an image formed in the mind that reflects itself in the form it believes, if it be a cancer 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, so you can readily incapable infer that it is incapable of pain. or inflamationCorrected:inflammation, or swelling or any action indipendant Corrected: independent of mind, Sickness or sensation in matter is not a reality, but is an illusion, it is an error that is the opposite of truth, and one that we must grow out of if we are scientific and learn our immortallity Corrected: immortality , In order to grow out of this you must avoid speaking of sickness. and you would not usually naturally do this 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 substance in matter, while to 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 that a delusion is a reality to them, and you are to break up this belief, disease has the same reality to them a dream has to the dreamer, and if you understand that his it has no more reality than a dream, then are you like to one wakeing Corrected: waking who can break up the incubus of another; the sick have only to awaken from this dream / of life in matter, of pain and disease in matter, of sensation in matter, that you call personal sense – to realisze 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 life says that you are, and you are looking and listening to in this error and this dream; then let it be enough to break this 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 persuations Corrected: persuasions 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: John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? " 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 hHe cast out error with truth and this heals the sick,

Ques.Expanded:Question How can I succeed in doing this so that my demonstration in a healing shall be wonderfull Corrected: wonderful and immedieteCorrected:immediate?,

Ans.Expanded:Answer By being like Jesus, by asking yourself am I honest? am I just? am I mercifullCorrected:merciful? am I pure? and being able to respond with your demonstrations to let what you can do for the sick answer this and not your life, for if you are becomeing 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 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. Luke 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. ? am I seeking the praise of man or the praise of GodJohn 12:42 ¶Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: John 12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than 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 you seek to be perfectly pure honest, just, meek and loveingCorrected: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 or selfish or avericious Corrected: avaricious or deceiving or unjust when you are practiceing Corrected: practicing healing the sick, remember you are holding on to an error as strongly as your patient, and the only difference is, his is an error of pain and yours of pleasure in sense, or matter 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. for ye know not the hour in which the thief comethMatt 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Luke 12:39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. , error will tempt you just as it tempts them only in different arguments, sickness comes with a fear and this error draws the sick into its belief through fear only, and error may come to you saying believe me "and "I will make you as gGodsGen 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. " that is, become proud and revengefullCorrected:revengeful, vain or selfish, unjust, or improve impure and I this will [?] Unclear or illegible secure you success in business, And nNow, had you known that this was the theifCorrected:thief that breaks into your good resolutions you would have watched and not have had your house broken open, but when we believe an error we cannot believe see it is an error, and here is the reason of this command "watch", if you find yourself asleep and not watching over yourself to hold guard against these thieves, then will you be awakened by seeing your patients not go on to perfect recovery. but and here you would ask of me how can I carry them on to this when I have already given you the scientific rule and you have not been keeping it, In healing you will be constantly coming in contact with error, with evil dispositions, and all the dark category of disease called nervousness, these symptoms have nothing to do with nerves but are devils to be cast outMark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; , Now you must watch that none of these enter you and if you feel a growing impatience know that this is not God, is not the principle in science that casts this out, and thusis heals the sick; if you feel a growing pride, know that this is error and not truth, if you are petulentCorrected:petulant and ir [?] Unclear or illegible ritable – watch – for now you are admitingCorrected:admitting a theif Corrected: thief that will rob God f [?] Unclear or illegible or a season, if you are loveingCorrected:loving tobacco or associates in folly, if you are loveing ardent spirit, if you take medicine, if you take pleasure in any way in sense, then are you looking the wrong way and if you look long you will certainly go there ine belief and cannot draw your patients out of error while you are being drawn into it,

Ques.Expanded:Question What arguments am I to use with error?

Ans.Expanded:Answer The arguments that science oppose to it, that happiness is not [?] Unclear or illegible found in it, that health is not found in it, and that these belong to matter or sense, is the belief and error you must put under your feet, If a patient comes to you with a belief of consumption for instance, you are to sit calmly and triumphantly down by them so filled yourself with the understanding that nothing is here and that they are only dreaming, that your atmosphere of soul will be to them like the sunligh [?] Unclear or illegible t that melts away darkness, You are to bring enough soul or light to disperse this vapor. and if this presence of soul be not sufficient then you are to wet your hand in water and first lay it on the stomach saying mentally as you do this "peace be stillMark 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 ought can begin to weaken awaken them from this dream or deillusion, But if when you stand by them mentally speaking thus you cannot pierce the darkness by a "peiace be still" let this peace return" to youMatt 10:11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. Matt 10:12 And when ye come into an house, salute it. Matt 10:13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. , that is, do not be discouraged, but hold calmly and persistaently on to science that tells you, you are right and they are in the error and wetting your hand in water, rise and rub their heads, this rubingCorrected:rubbing has no virtue, only as we believe and others believe we get nearer to them by contact; and now you would rub out a belief and this belief is located in the brain therefore as an M.D. lays a PolticeCorrected:poultice where the pain is, so you lay your hands where the belief is, to rub it out forever, Do not address your thought for a moment to thierCorrected:their body as you mentally argue down there there Corrected: their beliefs and rub thereir heads but take yourself, the soul, to destroy the error of life, sensation, and substance in matter, to [?] Unclear or illegible your own belief as much as in you lies, so that your patient may be conscious of the effect of soul on him;– for this principle brings harmony with it and destroys the errors of sense, If you have a belief of consumption to destroy begin with the leading point that it is not inherited because man & woman were created by God and not by a union of the sexes – were created by soul and not by sense – therefore God never creates a disease that destroys man. the principle of harmony never gave discord, nor truth error, nor life death, but here are these. and you are to know they are not here, only a belief is here; this body is of man is man'screateing. and this belief you are to destroy and let man be thus born again out of error and into truthJohn 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. , This birth is a chemical change in which truth destroys errorEditorial Note: This is a reference to "chemicalization," a term Mary Baker Eddy used to refer to a temporary stirring up of symptoms or process of "fermentation" as errors of various types are being destroyed., these changes occur as alteratives and change the body from a belief of error to an idea of truth such as wisdom created it in the beginingCorrected:beginning, InflamationCorrected:inflammation is the foundation error, inflamation Corrected: inflammation is only a fear and this fear makes an increased or deminished Corrected: diminished action, it either paralisyzes or fevers the body; now you are first to calm the fear and next to destroy it and the image in the mind that has frightened them sick, But the sick do not always know themselves what this image is, sometimes they can tell you but you ought to be able to tell yourself by reading their minds better than they can tell you for if they are in an error they are not apt to know it, Begin with fear always and talk it down; by telling them there is, nothing to be afraid of in sickness then take away its image, called inflamation Corrected: inflammation ; then destroy the belief that made this fear. if it was a cold, argue down this belief, or if grief argue down this, or if heredatary Corrected: hereditary tubercles give this a thrashing; also for you know there is no sensation or substance in matter; then how are you to get pain, tubercles, or inflamation Corrected: inflammation in shadows! you cannot You must assure the patients that nothing ails thereir lungs for you know science holds man and every formation of man immortal, and this is the principle of man because it is the truth of him; so you can safely tell them this; and if you get them to believe it they are cured, and if you get them to understand it they can never have this again, Take up tubercles, ulcers, bleeding and blood impoverished, matter in the air cells making them cough fever ectCorrected:etc., showing these that blood has no life nor nutriment for man, therefore it cannot be impoverished for want of air that air has no good nor evil for man, that ulcer can notCorrected:cannot be,– for there is no decay in truth, and no truth in decay, that bleeding has not been; that blood is a belief that all this is a belief, and that man is not made of lungs, liver, stomach, heart, brains ectCorrected:etc. that these are beliefs that die and then go on to learn show them these are the ideas the soul holds and gives the idea of them in man and holding them thus and they are never lost nor inharmonious,

Sometimes a single hair of belief seperates Corrected: separates from truth and these hairs "wisdom numbers"Matt 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Luke 12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. and you must sift out what this belief is, so as to argue it down; it may be a creed by which man has yielded the truth, that the soul controls man in science and not by a third person named God; it may be that a belief has made them give up the controlingCorrected:controlling of themselves "to a departed spirit," that in truth cannot control them, or it may be perprenatal beliefs of thereir parents that are developed in the patient; all this is impossible in science; and yet all error is possible to belief; just as all harmony and truth is possible to God I give consumption as 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; but that this science is truth is proved in that it does destroy inharmony and error,

When you would destroy a person's belief get the remote one and predisposeing Corrected: predisposing one that made it; sometimes, you will find it a very slight thing; a freight from a [?] Unclear or illegible cause slight thing wholly remote from the belief, you are trying to destroy; but which was the brewing producing cause of it, O my students, if you would become distinguished in your calling seek truth in all you seek, and persueCorrected:pursue truth; this is the only possible way of science by which you can give the highest demonstration of God, of the principle that gives harmony to all it controls, Do not think to deceive yourself, by deceiving others for wisdom will call you into judgment for all you think and act and the tribunal before which your true position is tried and proved in is, the demonstration that you are able to give in of healing the sick; after learning the principle upon which this is done; and this is the only one by which you can succeed to the most marvelous instances of cures.

Ques.Expanded:Question Is this process of cure magnetism?

Matt 17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. Matt 17:17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. Matt 17:18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. Matt 17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? Matt 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matt 17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. Mark 9:17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; Mark 9:18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. Mark 9:19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. Mark 9:20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. Mark 9:21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. Mark 9:22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. Mark 9:25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. Mark 9:26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. Mark 9:27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. Mark 9:28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? Mark 9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. is this, Fasting is so to withdraw from the senses that say you must eat to live ecttc so as to bring down bread from HeavenEx 16:4 ¶Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no. Ex 16:5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. Ex 16:6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the Lord hath brought you out from the land of Egypt: Ex 16:7 And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the Lord; for that he heareth your murmurings against the Lord: and what are we, that ye murmur against us? Ex 16:8 And Moses said, This shall be, when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord. Ex 16:9 ¶And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the Lord: for he hath heard your murmurings. Ex 16:10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud. Ex 16:11 ¶And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Ex 16:12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God. Ex 16:13 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host. Ex 16:14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. Ex 16:15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat. Ex 16:16 ¶This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents. Ex 16:17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less. Ex 16:18 And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating. ie, truth from harmony to destroy sickness, sin and death, This is the bread to eat the senses know not of, Prayer is to shut the doors of sense to withdraw from the errors' of sense and place all intelligence in the soul and thesre to understand "I and the father are oneJohn 10:30 I and my Father are one. " this means that the that means principle and soul of man is God, If we utter not a sin and believe in it, we sin, if we utter not a truth but understand it, we are in that truth; if prayer is a sincere desire, we can feel it and to express it, were vain; for it needs no expression, "only to be heard of men" as the hipocrites do!Matt 6:5 ¶And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. Matt 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Matt 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Matt 6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. and if the words are not all sincere it is a deception, words can deceive. thoughts are more safe untill we have grown up to every word we utter. for every evil idle word we are judged by wisdomMatt 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Matt 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. ,
