If you were told you must construct a perfect model out of some great truth, would you not try to draw a picture of Christ's character, as best you understood it? Or perhaps you would give a graphic description, with tearful eyes and saddened heart, of his agony on the cross—which being physical and inflicted by man, is too often seen as with a material eye. But the perfect model—does it not live in our immortal sense? And when we are trying to demonstrate it, will it not come forth in the truest light as Life, Truth and Love? This perfect model impresses us with the strongest desire to keep chiseling away at mortal conscience, until we drive out every crude thought, act or deed, opposed to it.

No one who understands metaphysical healing is practising or teaching honestly, in the spirit of Truth, who does not faithfully point out the danger and the way of escape from a mental mal-practice, any more than the pulpit is reforming the sinner and society by concealing, instead of uncovering and denouncing, sin. There are two motives leading to the culpable concealment of the sin that secretly works through mind to accomplish a sinister purpose, to gratify envy or to sate revenge, namely: fear of being found out a mental malpractitioner, or fear of the malpractitioner.

Some people like long, big names for their maladies. A woman came to me with a pain.

We would most respectfully submit a few propositions to our dear friends, and as we would consider the whole world our friends, therefore what we say is submitted to everybody. It is a generally admitted fact that mind or spirit controls the external portion of the human organism, as the hands, arms, legs, feet, etc.

Learn a parable of this period, how it receives Truth as presented to mortals by Christ Jesus. Behold a gigantic mountain, an Acropolis, whose top rests above the clouds in the serene azure of unfathomable blue.
