Rh Your attorney, Belief, is an impostor, persuading Mortal Minds to return a verdict contrary to law and gospel. The plaintiff, Personal Sense, is recorded in our Book of books as a liar. Our great Teacher of Mental Jurisprudence speaks of him also as “a murderer from the beginning.” We have no trials for sickness before the tribunal of divine Spirit, there Man is adjudged innocent of transgressing physical laws, because there is no spiritual statute relating thereto. Spiritual law is our only code; Life, Truth, and Love our government. “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

The jury of Spiritual Senses agreed at once upon a verdict; and there resounded throughout the vast

audience-chamber of Spirit the cry, Not Guilty. Then the prisoner rose up regenerated, strong, free. We noticed, as he shook hands with his counsel, Christian Science, that all sallowness and debility had disappeared. His form was erect and commanding, his countenance beaming with health and happiness. Divine Love had cast out fear. Mortal Man, no longer sick and in prison, walked forth, his “feet beautiful upon the mountains,” as of one who bringeth glad tidings.

If necessary to treat against mental malpractice or mesmerism know, that disease or its symptoms cannot change forms, nor go from one part to another. There is no metastasis to the heart, no stoppage of harmonious action, no paralysis. Truth, not error, Love, not hate, governs man. If students do not readily restore themselves, they should early call an experienced student practitioner. If they are unwilling to do this, they need to know that malicious minds cannot produce this reluctance.
