Every student of Christian Science realizes the power of mind for good or evil. The Source of all Good he calls Mind, and the source of all evil he calls mortal mind. The Good he calls Power, and the evil he has admitted to be a claim to power, which can only be overcome by Truth. No student is safe, unless he has overcome the world, who feels that he has nothing to meet. In a false sense of security there is danger.
" Let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall." All this claim to Life, Substance, and Intelligence, apart from Truth, is an error to be met and mastered by us; or else all our work is done on the mortal-mind basis of thought, and we are retarding the progress of humanity, instead of aiding it. Until we are out of mortal mind, we have the qualities of that thought to meet for ourselves.
All that we have to meet, in any case, is Animal Magnetism. This is all there is of error. This is the counterfeit of Truth. When we enter the crusade against it, we have perchance taken up the cross; but we have Omnipotent Love to sustain us through it all, and we go on in safety.
