When the eternal Spirit made man, he was given dominion over all the earth; and he was never created from a material basis, or bidden to obey material laws that Spirit never made. His government is the higher law of Mind, the spiritual statute. Jesus, understanding spiritual law, and knowing there is no law of matter, said: "These signs shall follow them that believe: Unharmed they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them." But this understanding of man's power, equipped by Spirit, has sadly disappeared from Christian history.—Science and Health.
We should never inquire into bodily condition, structure, or economy, if we followed the command of our Master, "Take no thought for the body"; but we should be masters of the body, dictate terms to it, and form and control it with Truth.—Science and Health.
