Another idea held by this people is, that we finally become a part of God or Harmony, just as a drop of water falls into the ocean; in other words, we become one with God (while at the same time they teach that no part of God is in man, and that man is a myth). Let us see if this can be possible. If we fall like a drop into the ocean must, of course, lose our outline or personality, and, as an individual, we are thus annihilated, and are only a part of one great whole. This process of reasoning would appear to indicate a belief of God in man, but no; they teach that this man is only a lie, that God is perfect Truth, and that there can be no lie in truth, and no truth in a lie; that God is Spirit, and man matter; that God is Substance and man shadow, and that Spirit and matter - Substance and shadow cannot be mixed together. They do not admit that man has a soul or anything to be saved, therefore they cannot scientifically explain the relation

between God and man. I have already plainly shown you how impossible it is that there can be the least portion of God in man, and I have also shown you that, if it were possible, that portion would be as good and as powerful as the whole, and would overcome all evil. Again, God in man (Spirit in matter), or matter a portion of God, would be pantheism.

Another idea held and taught by this people is, that there is but one life and that is God, and mortal man is nothing; this idea again annihilates man. They claim, also, that man is the reflection of God, consequently there must be something besides God that throws the reflection of him, and that something must be greater than God; furthermore God has no outline, and, therefore, his reflection could have none, while man has an outline. The foregoing opinions, which it has been shown you are inconsistent and fallible, are taught for a divine Science and called a direct revelation from

God; but I have shown you how impossible it is that they can be true, and God reveals only unchangeable Truth, which cannot be broken or gainsaid. When Jesus' disciples wanted to call fire from heaven he said unto them, "Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of, for the son of man came not to destroy men's lives but to save them." All vain imaginations or beliefs can be broken down by Truth. Jesus taught the will (understanding) of God and demonstrated it, and God never changes, therefore that which can be changed or which does not agree perfectly with Jesus' teaching and work, cannot be a revelation from God (Truth).

Believing that Jesus' body was stolen implies the belief that death had power over him, and that his body saw corruption, consequently, one holding such an idea, cannot have a true understanding of the Father's will which Jesus came to fulfil. Jesus plainly said that he did only the Father's

will, and uprooted only such roots as God did not plant. He said that death was an enemy to God, or a root not planted by him, and that it was the last one to overcome; but if, as some profess to believe, his body was not raised through his understanding of God, death had power over him, and his mission was not fulfilled, for if it were stolen, it saw corruption, which would be contrary to the whole scripture, as well as to the prophecy, which was that God should not suffer his holy one to see corruption. Jesus said he would raise that same body, and if he did not fulfil his promise, and translate his body within forty days, it must have seen corruption. He had power over death through his soul's understanding of God; he said, "Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I

have power to lay it power to take it again.

down, and I have This commandment

received I from my Father." Does it seem stranger or more impossible that Jesus should have been translated, than that many of the prophets before him should, he being the greatest demonstrator of all?

We would not speak of different classes or schools of mathematics, because there is but one correct method of demonstrating mathematics; likewise this truth admits of no classes or schools, there can be but one correct, therefore, but one mathematical explanation of it. Where two persons do not agree in mathematics, either one or both must be wrong, for both cannot be right; they may both agree that five and five when added together, do not make fifteen, but unless they agree that five and five make ten, they cannot be said to possess the same understanding.

There are many who believe that sickness is the result of man's blindness, infirmity or sin, and that God is not the author of it; this, however, will not destroy the sickness,
