I trace a strong element of malicious mind acting on your morning thoughts. This to me is so very discouraging, for my morning thoughts always come clearer and are nearer His. It is a mark– this glorious sun-center As Written: sun-centre of Divine philosophy and religion.
The students never left me on account of it, they have not been honest as you are whom have made for themselves broken cisternsJer 2:13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. . And if our honesty yields to the lies whispered and honestly believes on in the line of making God what a human thought conceives, I shall stop my labor and this causeEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science., perfect in all its ways, will go down. The foundation is – a "God too pure to behold iniquityHab 1:13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he? while His law covers it all with holiness There is in reality no iniquity unless iniquity is Truth But iniquity is a lie – that was and never will be aught else, hence there is no iniquity and God knows it. Not one can heal in scienceEditorial Note: Christian Science who admits the reality of iniquity but is dividing his vesture All seem casting lots for itPs 22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. Matt 27:35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. Mark 15:24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. Luke 23:34 ¶Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. John 19:23 ¶Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. John 19:24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. more or less.
There may be such a thing as discouraging me. It looks like it now. You regard this grandest point of Science as once religionists regarded Foreordination. That has exploded by growth, and so will the awful inconsistency that God is not too pure to behold and attend to iniquity
You are a shining mark, you are in the open field, your bosom companion is dark as most all are on this question, the enemy are talking inaudibly and audibly to lead you astray
You see for a moment, in my atmosphere, the glimpse As Written: glimps of this God-summit, then go away and the fowls of the air pick up this good seedMatt 13:4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Mark 4:3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: Mark 4:4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. Luke 8:5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. .
Tell me, I ask, who of my intelligent students, unless it is a dogmatist in religion such as Mr. Lang is yet to a certain degree that denies – if they do not understand – this fundamental Truth? Or a villain As Written: villian who veers for popularity with the winds. Stand up and be a man as you are to face this struggle and reason guided by the Spirit will be convinced of this great Truth
It is only a spiritual not an intellectual darkness that causes the human reason to reject this highest revelation of God
Your wife seeks to still the storm in your breast just when I should bid it rage then it would resist itself and the sunshine of the above Truth would appear I stand forever here God put my feet on this Rock
Now these struggles of your reason should go on and you should learn and must learn by them the new and living witnesses of Him We cannot in ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science put this new wine into old bottles or it will be spilledMatt 9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved. Mark 2:22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles. Luke 5:37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. Luke 5:38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. E.
Truth saith I am All
Law of Truth – saith Every opposite As Written: opposit of whatever name As Written: nane or nature to me, this law, that God is All, I, the intelligent law of Truth condemn and punish
This law of God is universal infinite and eternal by virtue of God's Allness and that God cannot know what is outside of Divine knowing namely that there is something beside Him, Good. But His law reaches with its spirit and intelligent working every error supposable because it is the law that defines God as All and that there is none beside HimIsa 45:5 ¶I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: , hence that there is no error
The above is Christian Science, nothing in the premise or conclusion is contradictory or confusing to the most intellectual logical thought.
"God is too pure to behold iniquity"Hab 1:13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he? Bible As mortals grow to purity this is proven, for in that ratio does impurity become negation, and this fact on the ground of deduction proves that Good knows no evil in the totality of good

Your reasoning that Truth misunderstood does not affect the demonstration of Truth is not correct
I demonstrated on this very basisas abovewhat I state herein It was what I saw, felt, and knew, that first saved my life; but the conviction of its truth that raised me up from a helpless injury was not the understanding of it. That I gained afterwards Now the person convinced or convicted of this great Truth is the best healer for their faith in its Truth saves themselves and others until they can understand it. This is the case with my best practitioners As Written: practioners
But to disbelieve As Written: disbeleive it shuts the door on its efficacyAs Written:effecacy with the unbeliever He may heal in belief and call it science but it is not. This is the chief cornerstone that the builders reject but it must and will become the head of the corner of Christian SciencePs 118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. Matt 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Mark 12:10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: Mark 12:11 This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Luke 20:17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Acts 4:1 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, I Pet 2:7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, A perfect theory is indispensable As Written: indispensabe to a perfect practice
You are not both mortal and immortal mind or body. The Ego, you, is immortal only. The mortal is the suggestive lie calling As Written: callinging itself you when it is not. The immortal As Written: inmortal is the Spiritual you shining As Written: shinng through the suppositional cloud or lie but remember there is no lie! God is All You are not two opposites but are one entity and individuality The lying "you" is likened by Paul to that which was not him "no longer I but sin"Rom 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
I will relieve you on Numbers 4 & 5 but I want you to stay relieved. To that end make a law that shall meet this occasion viz ― "That neither envy, malice nor error of any kind can darken you on the cardinal points of Christian science as taught by Mrs. Eddy."
If only you will watch and work and keep out this robberMatt 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. I will pledge that you shall be clear on this question. Every honest student that has departed from the fundamentals of Christian ScienceAs Written:Ch. Sci. had adopted them before this departure and was carried away by mesmerism
This I say knowing the history of this Cause as no other one [?] Unclear or illegible
