IV. God is divine Life, and Life is no more confined
to the forms which reflect it than substance is in its
shadow. If life were in mortal man or material

discord; all is Life, and there is no death. Everything
in God's universe expresses Him.

in office: God the Father-Mother; Christ the spiritual
idea of sonship; divine Science or the Holy Comforter.
These three express in divine Science the threefold, essential
