Rh God is all-inclusive, and is reflected by

everything real and eternal. He fills all space, and it is impossible to conceive of such omnipresence and individuality except as Mind. All is Spirit and spiritual.

VII. Life, Truth, and Love constitute the triune God, or triply divine Principle. They represent a trinity in

unity, three in one, — the same in essence, though multiform in office: God the Father; Christ the type of Sonship; Divine Science, or the Holy Comforter. These three express the threefold, essential nature of the Infinite. They also indicate Scientific Being, and the whole relation of God and man.

VIII. Father is the name for Spirit, God, which

indicates His tender relationship to His spiritual creation. As the apostle expressed it, in words which he quoted with approbation from a classic poet: “For we are also His offspring.”

IX. Jesus was born of Mary, Christ was born of God. Jesus was a mediator between humanity and Spirit. He

voiced Truth. He spoke to the human sense through the divine. As Paul says: “There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” He was the rebuke of Spirit, dispelling the illusions of the senses. With the Divine Mind he healed the sick and cast out evils, such as sin, disease, and death.

X. The Holy Ghost, or Spirit, reveals this triune

Principle, and is expressed in Divine Science, which is the Comforter, leading into all Truth, and revealing the divine Principle of the universe, — universal and perpetual harmony.
