only what is untrue. Hence the fact that, to-day,
as yesterday, Christ casts out evils and heals the
sick.

the human mind takes the lesser to relieve the
greater. On this basis it saves from starvation

admit that mind influences the body somewhat, but
you conclude that the stomach, blood, nerves, bones,
etc., hold the preponderance of power. Controlled by
this belief, you continue in the old routine. You lean on
the inert and unintelligent, never discerning how this deprives
you of the available superiority of divine Mind.
