KNOWLEDGE OF LIFE

From the November 1888 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The wonderful works of God's creation will be manifested to us some day, through the power of Mind over matter, or Good over evil, until all matter and evil disappear.

The heaven and earth which mortals see, are but the creations of material sense. What we miscall Light is a darkness, which we have to overcome in ourselves. The sun is only a false sense of vitality in light and heat; and from this false sense springs the belief of life in body, or organic matter. Mind is the Principle of all that is expressed.

The body is embraced and governed by Mind: and that government is its only life and vitality. Man, living under this government, will never want or labor for what he receives; for his Father is Life, Truth, Love. The triune Principle of Good is always enriching us out of the abundance of the harvest of His thought. The Christ, that is beaming through the recognized clouds of mortal mind, will manifest to us the fullest expression of Life as God. This is the natural intelligence of Mind, leading us back to the "Father of Lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of His own will begat He us with the Word of Truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of His creatures." (James i. 18.)
