repeated this operation daily, until the child could remain
under water twenty minutes, moving and playing without
harm, like a fish. Parents should remember this,
and learn how to develop their children properly on dry
land.
(The curse removed)
Mind controls the birth-throes in the lower realms of
nature, where parturition is without suffering. Vegetables,
minerals, and many animals suffer no
pain in multiplying; but human propagation
has its suffering because it is a false belief. Christian Science
reveals harmony as proportionately increasing as the
line of creation rises towards spiritual man, - towards
enlarged understanding and intelligence; but in the line
of the corporeal senses, the less a mortal knows of sin,
disease, and mortality, the better for him, - the less pain
and sorrow are his. When the mist of mortal mind evaporates,
the curse will be removed which says to woman,
"In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children." Divine
Science rolls back the clouds of error with the light of
Truth, and lifts the curtain on man as never born and as
never dying, but as coexistent with his creator.
Popular theology takes up the history of man as if he
began materially right, but immediately fell into mental
sin; whereas revealed religion proclaims the Science of
Mind and its formations as being in accordance with
the first chapter of the Old Testament, when God, Mind,
spake and it was done.
