Truth, makes all things possible to Spirit; but the so-called
laws of matter would render Spirit of no avail, and
demand obedience to materialistic codes, thus departing
from the basis of one God, one lawmaker. To suppose
that God constitutes laws of inharmony is a mistake; discords
have no support from nature or divine law, however
much is said to the contrary.
Can the agriculturist, according to belief, produce a
crop without sowing the seed and awaiting its germination
according to the laws of nature? The answer is no,
and yet the Scriptures inform us that sin, or error, first
caused the condemnation of man to till the ground, and
indicate that obedience to God will remove this necessity.
Truth never made error necessary, nor devised a law to
perpetuate error.
(Laws of nature spiritual)
The supposed laws which result in weariness and disease
are not His laws, for the legitimate and only possible
action of Truth is the production of harmony.
Laws of nature are laws of Spirit; but mortals
commonly recognize as law that which hides the power of
Spirit. Divine Mind rightly demands man's entire obedience,
affection, and strength. No reservation is made
for any lesser loyalty. Obedience to Truth gives man
power and strength. Submission to error superinduces
loss of power.
(Belief and understanding)
Truth casts out all evils and materialistic methods
with the actual spiritual law, - the law which gives
sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, voice
to the dumb, feet to the lame. If Christian
Science dishonors human belief, it honors spiritual
understanding; and the one Mind only is entitled to
honor.
