   1  feathers; but this is only fancy. It has behind it no more
     reality than has the sculptor's thought when he carves
   3  his "Statue of Liberty," which embodies his concep-
     tion of an unseen quality or condition, but which has
     no physical antecedent reality save in the artist's own ob-
   6  servation and "chambers of imagery."
         My angels are exalted thoughts, appearing at the door
     of some sepulchre, in which human belief has buried
   9  its fondest earthly hopes. With white fin-

    Our angelic
    messengers

     gers they point upward to a new and glo-
     rified trust, to higher ideals of life and its joys. [[[Angels
  12  are God's representatives.]]] These upward-soaring beings
     never lead towards self, sin, or materiality, but guide to
     the divine Principle of all good, whither every real indi-
  15  viduality, image, or likeness of God, gathers. By giving
     earnest heed to these spiritual guides they tarry with us,
     and we entertain "angels unawares."

     sin, sickness, and death. Ought we not then

    Knowledge
    and Truth

  21  to judge the knowledge thus obtained to be
     untrue and dangerous, since "the tree is known by his
     fruit"?
  24      Truth never destroys God's idea. Truth is spiritual,
     eternal substance, which cannot destroy the right reflec-
     tion. Corporeal sense, or error, may seem to hide Truth,
  27  health, harmony, and Science, as the mist obscures the
     sun or the mountain; but Science, the sunshine of Truth,
     will melt away the shadow and reveal the celestial
  30  peaks.
         If man were solely a creature of the material senses,
     he would have no eternal Principle and would be mutable
