I would no more quarrel with a man because of his religion than I would because of his art.

Nothing save divine power is capable of doing so much for man as he can for himself.

If God causes man to be sick, sickness must be good, and its opposite, health, must be evil, for all that He makes is good and will stand forever. If the transgression of God's law produces sickness, it is right to be sick; and we cannot if we would, and should not if we could, annul the decrees of wisdom. It is the transgression of a belief of mortal mind, not of a law of matter nor of divine Mind, which causes the belief of sickness. The remedy is Truth, not matter,--the truth that disease is unreal.

Whatever materializes worship hinders man's spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error.

Every law of matter or the body, supposed to govern man,is rendered null and void by the law of Life, God.

Is civilization only a higher form of idolatry, that man should bow down to a flesh-brush, to flannels, to baths, diet, exercise, and air?

This is the doctrine of Christian Science: that divine Love cannot be deprived of its manifestation, or object; that joy cannot be turned into sorrow, for sorrow is not the master of joy; that good can never produce evil; that matter can never produce mind nor life result in death. The perfect man - governed by God, his perfect Principle - is sinless and eternal.

Man and woman as coexistent and eternal with God forever reflect, in glorified quality, the infinite Father-Mother God.
