   1  and its formations can never be annihilated. Man is not
     a pendulum, swinging between evil and good, joy and
   3  sorrow, sickness and health, life and death.

    Man
    reflects God

     Life and its faculties are not measured by
     calendars. The perfect and immortal are the eternal
   6  likeness of their Maker. Man is by no means a material
     germ rising from the imperfect and endeavoring to reach
     Spirit above his origin. The stream rises no higher than
   9  its source.
         The measurement of life by solar years robs youth and
     gives ugliness to age. The radiant sun of virtue and truth
  12  coexists with being. Manhood is its eternal noon, un-
     dimmed by a declining sun. As the physical and mate-
     rial, the transient sense of beauty fades, the radiance of
  15  Spirit should dawn upon the enraptured sense with bright
     and imperishable glories.
         [[[Never record ages. Chronological data are no part
  18  of the vast forever.]]] Time-tables of birth and death are
     so many conspiracies against manhood and

    Undesirable
    records

     womanhood. Except for the error of meas-
  21  uring and limiting all that is good and beautiful, man
     would enjoy more than threescore years and ten and
     still maintain his vigor, freshness, and promise. Man,
  24  governed by immortal Mind, is always beautiful and
     grand. Each succeeding year unfolds wisdom, beauty,
     and holiness.
  27      Life is eternal. We should find this out, and begin the
     demonstration thereof. Life and goodness are immortal.
     Let us then shape our views of existence into

    True life
    eternal

  30  loveliness, freshness, and continuity, rather
     than into age and blight.
         Acute and chronic beliefs reproduce their own types.
