The article, in the "Note Book" of September Journal, on "Money," seems to convey the thought that we should not expect any phenomena visible to the senses, as a result of spiritual understanding. Is that the intention?
The object of the discourse of Jesus, referred to, seemed to be to show that the disciples had no real cause for anxiety about having their needs supplied, if they were earnest in serving God, instead of Mammon. But if their sense of need was still material, would not that sense be supplied? Did not Jesus satisfy the hunger of the five thousand, and was not the food tangible to their sense?
While I recognize that "Spirit does not know matter, Good does not know evil," and that the heavenly Father does not "know that we are needing material food and clothing," does not this thought from Science and Health apply? "It (human thought) has caught and interpreted in its own way the echo of Spirit, and repeated it materially," and is it not in this way that the sense of supply "is added?" Science and Health says (page 315) "Jesus said (John viii. 52), 'If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death?' That statement is not confined to spiritual Life, but includes both the spiritual and physical. Mortal man must part with error, until he puts off the "old man, with his deeds," and is clothed with immortality.
