Rh Evil is the counterfeit of good, and seeks to equal it. The infinite Truth of the Christ-cure has come to this age through a “still, small voice,” through silent utterances that accelerate the active and beneficial effects of Christianity.

Sin's opposite error, and its method, appear at the same time. Because Truth is limitless, error strives to be thought unbounded.
