   1      Progress takes off human shackles. The finite must
     yield to the infinite. Advancing to a higher plane of ac-
   3  tion, thought rises from the material sense to

    No material
    creation

     the spiritual, from the scholastic to the in-
     spirational, and from the mortal to the immortal. All
   6  things are created spiritually. Mind, not matter, is the
     creator. Love, the divine Principle, is the Father and
     Mother of the universe, including man.
   9      The theory of three persons in one God (that is, a per-

     earth; and none can stay His hand, or say unto Him,
     What doest Thou?"
  24      No form nor physical combination is adequate to rep-
     resent infinite Love. A finite and material sense of God
     leads to formalism and narrowness; it chills the spirit of
  27  Christianity.
         A limitless Mind cannot proceed from physical limita-
     tions. Finiteness cannot present the idea or the vast-
  30  ness of infinity. A mind originating from a

    Limitless

     finite or material source must be limited and
     finite. Infinite Mind is the creator, and creation is the
