   1  is increasing and the power of sin diminishing, for the
     world feels the alterative effect of truth through every
   3  pore.
         As the crude footprints of the past disappear from the
     dissolving paths of the present, we shall better understand
   6  the Science which governs these changes, and shall plant
     our feet on firmer ground. Every sensuous pleasure or
     pain is self-destroyed through suffering. There should
   9  be painless progress, attended by life and peace instead
     of discord and death.
         In the record of nineteen centuries, there are sects
  12  many but not enough Christianity. Centuries ago re-
     ligionists were ready to hail an anthropomor-

    Sectarianism
    and
    opposition

     phic God, and array His vicegerent with pomp
  15  and splendor; but this was not the manner
     of truth's appearing. Of old the cross was truth's cen-
     tral sign, and it is to-day. The modern lash is less
  18  material than the Roman scourge, but it is equally as
     cutting. Cold disdain, stubborn resistance, opposition
     from church, state laws, and the press, are still the har-
  21  bingers of truth's full-orbed appearing.
         A higher and more practical Christianity, demonstrat-
     ing justice and meeting the needs of mortals in sickness
  24  and in health, stands at the door of this age, knocking
     for admission. Will you open or close the door upon this
     angel visitant, who cometh in the quiet of meekness, as he
  27  came of old to the patriarch at noonday?
         Truth brings the elements of liberty. On its banner
     is the Soul-inspired motto, "Slavery is abolished." [[[The
  30  power of God brings deliverance to the cap-

    Mental
    emancipation

     tive. No power can withstand divine Love.]]]
     What is this supposed power, which opposes itself to God?
