of the physical world will change as mortal mind changes
its beliefs. What is now considered the best condition
for organic and functional health in the human
body may no longer be found indispensable
to health. Moral conditions will be found always harmonious
and health-giving. Neither organic inaction
nor overaction is beyond God's control; and man will
be found normal and natural to changed mortal thought,
and therefore more harmonious in his manifestations than
he was in the prior states which human belief created and
sanctioned.
As human thought changes from one stage to another
of conscious pain and painlessness, sorrow and
joy, - from fear to hope and from faith to understanding, - the
visible manifestation will at last be man governed
by Soul, not by material sense. Reflecting God's
government, man is self-governed. When subordinate
to the divine Spirit, man cannot be controlled by sin or
death, thus proving our material theories about laws of
health to be valueless.
(The time and tide)
The seasons will come and go with changes of time and
tide, cold and heat, latitude and longitude. The agriculturist
will find that these changes cannot
affect his crops. "As a vesture shalt Thou
change them and they shall be changed." The mariner
will have dominion over the atmosphere and the great
deep, over the fish of the sea and the fowls of the air.
The astronomer will no longer look up to the stars, -
he will look out from them upon the universe; and the
florist will find his flower before its seed.
(Mortal nothingness)
Thus matter will finally be proved nothing more
than a mortal belief, wholly inadequate to affect a man
