   1      The belief of life in matter sins at every step. It in-
     curs divine displeasure, and it would kill Jesus that it
   3  might be rid of troublesome Truth. Material

    Murder brings
    its curse

     beliefs would slay the spiritual idea when-
     ever and wherever it appears. Though error hides
   6  behind a lie and excuses guilt, error cannot forever be
     concealed. Truth, through her eternal laws, unveils
     error. Truth causes sin to betray itself, and sets upon
   9  error the mark of the beast. Even the disposition to
     excuse guilt or to conceal it is punished. The avoidance
     of justice and the denial of truth tend to perpetuate sin,
  12  invoke crime, jeopardize self-control, and mock divine
     mercy.


     Genesis iv. 15. And the Lord [Jehovah] said unto him,
  15  Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken
     on him sevenfold. And the Lord [Jehovah] set a mark
     upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.


  18      "They that take the sword shall perish with the
     sword." [[[Let Truth uncover and destroy error in God's
     own way, and let human justice pattern the

    Retribution
    and remorse

  21  divine.]]] Sin will receive its full penalty, both
     for what it is and for what it does. Justice marks
     the sinner, and teaches mortals not to remove the
  24  waymarks of God. To envy's own hell, justice con-
     signs the lie which, to advance itself, breaks God's
     commandments.


  27  Genesis iv. 16. And Cain went out from the presence of
     the Lord [Jehovah], and dwelt in the land of Nod.


         The sinful misconception of Life as something less
