"Science reverses the testimony of the senses, and by this reversion mortals arrive at Truth." Now if these senses declare a man in good health, does it follow that he is sick?
Health is not a condition of matter, and the material senses can bear no testimony. The Science of Mind-healing shows it to be impossible for aught but Mind to testify, or to exhibit the real status of man; hence Science, reversing the testimony of the senses, reveals man's habitual harmony, and overthrows the false evidence and syllogism. Science is mental, not material. Any conclusion predicated of sensation in matter, or affirming matter to be conscious, either of health or disease, instead of reversing the testimony of the senses, confirms it as legitimate. Science rests on fixed Principle, not a false sense.
Both the major and the minor propositions of a syllogism may be true, and the conclusion false. Science affirms no discords. Reverse the testimony, pro or con, of the material senses, and you have the opposite spiritual fact in Science.
