their descriptions with important observations,
which should awaken thought to a higher and
purer contemplation of man's origin. This
clearer consciousness must precede an understanding
of the harmony of being. Mortal thought must
obtain a better basis, get nearer the truth of being, or
health will never be universal, and harmony will never

One of our ablest naturalists has said: "We have no
right to assume that individuals have grown or been
formed under circumstances which made material conditions
essential to their maintenance and reproduction,
or important to their origin and first introduction."
Why, then, is the naturalist's basis so materialistic,
and why are his deductions generally material?
(All nativity in thought)
Adam was created before Eve. In this instance, it is
seen that the maternal egg never brought forth Adam.
Eve was formed from Adam's rib, not from a
foetal ovum. Whatever theory may be adopted
by general mortal thought to account for human origin,
that theory is sure to become the signal for the appearance
of its method in finite forms and operations. If consentaneous
human belief agrees upon an ovum as the
point of emergence for the human race, this potent belief
will immediately supersede the more ancient superstition
about the creation from dust or from the rib of our
primeval father.
(Being is immortal)
You may say that mortals are formed before they
think or know aught of their origin, and you
may also ask how belief can affect a result
which precedes the development of that belief. It can
