I can of mine own self do nothing. —John v.

Take my Yoke upon you. — Matthew, xi.

How little do we realize the grand Truth contained in this one grand word At-one-ment—at one with God,—at one with Him, the omnipotent, omniscient, all-glorious Creator. Jesus, the Divine Master, came breaking down and casting out all error, that we might know and understand our relationship with God.

Thoughts suggested in answer to an inquiry by one who is seeking to learn the application of Truth, whereby sickness as well as sin may be overcome. It is a principle in Science, that to reach a correct result our premise must be correctly stated, which is as follows, viz: Man is living under a belief of sin; and, as a legitimate result of sin, he has a belief of sickness also; the remedy for both of which is Christ—Truth—understanding received and scientifically applied.

Turning to the voice, he replied: "Lord, I am ready! What wouldst thou have me do?"

If we are awake to the dangers surrounding us, we may guard against them; but if we are deceived, we are indeed lost. The present age is one in which so much of what purports to be wisdom is forced upon the people, that they are given scarcely time to consider its utility.

The divine elevator of the human race, physically, morally, and spiritually, is the truism that Truth demonstrates good, and is natural; while error, or evil, reproduces itself, and belongs not to nature nor to God.
