A knowledge of God as omnipresent and omniactive good is the essence of true manhood. The good which is Godlike is expressed by spiritual man in an uninterrupted life of spiritual goodness. The infinitude of all-embracing divine Love of necessity precludes the possibility of aught unlike indestructible and eternal good.
Despite centuries of erroneous belief to the contrary, all-pervading good has no knowledge of evil's illusory contentions; neither is divine Mind's omnipotence abridged by them. The time element by which mortal thought assumes to substantiate and entrench evil and discord as actual is nought save a baseless mental suggestion. Eternity and time are antipodes. Whatever is measured by time has no relationship to reality; eternity is one with immortal, creative divine Principle. The restrictions which time would impose upon humanity disappear in the proportion that timeless and ageless existence dawns upon human thought.
It may be recalled that when he was told that the impotent man at the pool of Bethesda had been in that condition for thirty-eight years, Christ Jesus swept away, like straw before the wind, evil's claim to bind man with disease. Aware that to ever-present divine good, time rated neither place nor power, the Saviour said to the impotent man, ''Rise, take up thy bed, and walk." Responding to the Master's command, "immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked."
