Much has been said for and against Truth, as declared in Christian Science. Much is said for it; because no one can come to know its meaning, and the power it gives for good, without feeling that it is beyond all things else,—that in reality it embraces all, and there is naught beside it.
It is seen that in God's government there can be no discord. Harmony reigns throughout; for all is governed by divine law,—the law of Love, or spiritual law. This understanding is not gained through the human mind, for all that this mind is capable of reaching will come to naught, because it is not of God. It is the carnal mind spoken of by Paul, through which man can gain nothing eternal, or really good; for all good is eternal.
All that pertains to the human mind can never get beyond materiality. Whatever may be said of its capacity, the human mind can never be said to lead into the spiritual. There is a wide gulf between human thought and man's great capacities for good, attainable through his spiritual attainments; and he is truly great only as he is spiritual and good. The human mind, not being spiritual, must be material; and as all Truth is spiritual, for God is Truth and is All-in-all, then the human, or material mind, must be an error of belief. That which is not Truth has no real existence, and can only exist in belief; but as long as it is believed, it will be seen and accepted as Truth. We can not say that God is Truth and Infinity, and then believe that what is opposed to Him is also Truth. By the law of opposites, if one is Truth, the other is not. The one is the I Am. The other is that which seems to be; "but look not at the things that are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. . . . For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from Heaven."
