but the but theories open [?] Unclear or illegible  of mortals.

To sustain the basis of the immortality of Mind we must classify this ter word term as applied to the real and the suppositional to Truth and error The unerring infinite and eternal good that we name God is the one Mind and the opposite of good called evil is not mind but it is a falsity named mind then go with me a little farther and you will behold it is unreal as well as untrue and this timely discovery sets your feet upon the rock of divine science I

In the original versions Good instead of God was the term for Deity and if that orthography had been preserved the earth would not have have been deluged with blood on the question of the person of Deity

Because there is but one God there can be but one Mind and when this grand fact shall be to understood it this grand fact will brings blessings infinite to the human >of Adam family Peace on earth and good will to man

This grand great metaphysical fact is illustrated by one of the phases of mortal mind as seen in medicine The homeopathic system of drugs wherein their potency is increased in proportion as they lose matter and are ack gain the qualities of thought through the process of mental pharmacy counting the shakes as you attenuate the drug and giving it the strength power of faith in your process

The essence of Mind or essential Mind

The essence of immortal Mind is God, its essential nature which is Life Truth and Love Its office is omnipotence omnicienceCorrected:omniscience & omnipresence the all-knowing the all-powerful the ever-present
