Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow;
He who would search for pearls must dive below.
Dryden.
THE Rev. J. A. Fleming, M.A., a prominent Anglican divine, commenting upon the "evidence of things not seen," in a recently published article, puts the following significant question: "On what grounds are we to resist the inference that what mind detects mind has produced, and that an underlying order, which it needs intelligence to unravel, is there only because it is the result of intelligence operative in creating it?" The above inference, so far as it goes, suggests an advance of thought, but inasmuch as it draws no line of demarcation between the mortal mind, which furnishes the evidence of things seen, and the divine Mind, which has created "the substance of things hoped for," it expresses no definite conclusion.
The method of capitalization adopted by Mrs. Eddy in all her writings on Christian Science clearly indicates the necessary distinction between the real and the unreal, and at once designates Mind as the creative intelligence or deity, while mortal mind or belief is shown to be responsible for the material and finite sense of things.
