490 of divine Mind to hold man forever intact, in a perfect state, and to govern his entire action? Jesus said, “Destroy this temple [body], and I [Mind] will build it again;” and so he did, for tired humanity's reassurance.

Is it not a species of infidelity, to believe that so great a work as the Messiah's was done for himself, — or for

God, who needed no help from Jesus' example, to preserve the eternal harmony? But mortals did need this help, and he pointed the way for them. Divine Love always has met, and always will meet, every human need. It is not well to imagine that Jesus demonstrated the divine power to heal only for a select number, or for a limited period of time; since to all mankind, and in every hour, Deity supplies all good.

The miracle of divine grace is no miracle to Love. Jesus demonstrated the inability of corporeality, as well

as the infinite ability of Spirit, thus helping feeble human sense to flee from its own convictions, and seek safety in Divine Science. Reason, rightly directed, serves to correct the errors of corporeal sense; but while the spell of belief remains unbroken, sin, sickness, and death will seem real (even as the experiences of the sleeping dream seem real) until the Science of man's eternal harmony breaks this illusion with its own unbroken reality.

Which of these two testimonies concerning man are you ready to accept? One is the mortal evidence,

changing, dying, unreal. The other is the eternal and real testimony, bearing Truth's signet, its lap piled high with immortal fruits.
