matter, and plant ourselves upon what is pure and
perfect. Paul said, "Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not
fulfil the lust of the flesh." Sooner or later we shall learn
that the fetters of man's finite capacity are forged by the
illusion that he lives in body instead of in Soul, in matter
instead of in Spirit.
(Soul greater than body)
Matter does not express Spirit. God is infinite omnipresent
Spirit. If Spirit is all and is everywhere, what
and where is matter? Remember that truth
is greater than error, and we cannot put the
greater into the less. Soul is Spirit, and Spirit is greater
than body. If Spirit were once within the body, Spirit
would be finite, and therefore could not be Spirit.
(The question of the ages)
The question, "What is Truth," convulses the world.
Many are ready to meet this inquiry with the assurance
which comes of understanding; but more are
blinded by their old illusions, and try to "give
it pause." "If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into
the ditch."
The efforts of error to answer this question by some
ology are vain. Spiritual rationality and free thought accompany
approaching Science, and cannot be put down.
They will emancipate humanity, and supplant unscientific
means and so-called laws.
(Heralds of Science)
Peals that should startle the slumbering thought from
its erroneous dream are partially unheeded; but the last
trump has not sounded, or this would not be
so. Marvels, calamities, and sin will much
more abound as truth urges upon mortals its resisted
claims; but the awful daring of sin destroys sin, and
foreshadows the triumph of truth. God will overturn,
until "He come whose right it is." Longevity
