Rh of Divine Science, whereby we enter into the kingdom of Truth on earth, and learn that Spirit is supreme, and matter but an error of belief. Spirit and matter no more commingle than light and darkness. When one appears, the other disappears.

Error alone presupposes man to be both mind and matter. Divine Science contradicts the corporeal senses,

rebukes mental belief, and asks: What is the Ego, whence its origin, and what its destiny? The Ego-man is the reflection of the Ego-God, the image and likeness of perfect Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, and not of corporeality.

The one Ego, one Mind, or Spirit, called God, is infinite Spirit and infinite individuality, supplying all form and comeliness, which reflects divinity in individual man and things.

The mind supposed to exist in matter, or beneath a skull-bone, is a myth, a misconceived sense and false

statement as to man and Mind. We shall all learn that sin and mortality are without any actual origin or rightful existence, when we put off the false sense for the true, and see that they have neither principle nor permanency. They are native nothingness, out of which error would simulate creation, through a man formed from dust instead of Deity.

Divine Science does not put new wine into old bottles, Soul into matter, nor the Infinite into the finite. Our

false views of matter perish as we grasp the facts of Spirit. The old belief must be cast out, or the new idea will be spilled, and the inspiration, which is to change our standpoints, will be lost. Now, as of old. Truth casts out error and heals the sick.
