INFINITE TRAITS IN TRUE MANHOOD

From the October 1887 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.—2 Corinthians iii. 17.

The Spirit of the Lord is Mind,—infinite, and therefore omnipresent. Where He is, sin, sickness, sorrow, pain, and death can never come. He is everywhere; therefore the fundamental sin is, that we are looking at these seemings, and admitting them as realities in His presence,—virtually saying that discord exists in Him. By recognizing them as real, we put ourselves in bondage to that which seemeth to be, but is not; when to know the Truth about them, is to be freed from their giant grasp, as we are freed from the bondage of the ghost, by knowing its nothingness.

"Ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free." Our God-given birthright is liberty! Toward it, mankind and all things tend. Go where we will, and into whatsoever house we enter,—that of the tiniest plant or insect, or of man,—and we see written upon the face of all, in language full and clear, this one injunction, Be free!
