"For the kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."—Matt, xiii; 33.
The leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal is Divine Science—the Comforter that leadeth into all Truth, the Holy Ghost—the still, small voice that breathes his presence and power, casting out error, and healing the sick. And woman, the spiritual idea, takes of the things of God and showeth them unto the creature, until the whole sense of being is leavened with Spirit. The three measures of meal are the sense of life, substance, and intelligence which saith, I am sustained by bread, matter, instead of Mind. The spiritual leaven of Divine Science changes this false sense, giving truer views of Life, saying, Man's Life is God; and when this shall appear to us, it shall be "the substance of things hoped for."
The measures of Life shall increase by every spiritual touch, even as the leaven expands the loaf. Man shall keep the feast of Life, not with the old leaven of the scribes and Pharisees, neither with "the leaven of malice and wickedness," but the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
