   1  systems are one and all pantheistic, and savor of Pan-
     demonium, a house divided against itself.
   3      From first to last the supposed coexistence of Mind
     and matter and the mingling of good and evil have re-
     sulted from the philosophy of the serpent. Jesus' demon-
   6  strations sift the chaff from the wheat, and unfold the
     unity and the reality of good, the unreality, the nothing-

     All other systems--systems based wholly or partly on
  27  knowledge gained through the material senses--are reeds
     shaken by the wind, not houses built on the rock.
         The theories I combat are these: (1) that all is matter;
  30  (2) that matter originates in Mind, and is as
