   1      Reform comes by understanding that there is no abid-
     ing pleasure in evil, and also by gaining an affection for
   3  good according to Science, which reveals the immortal
     fact that neither pleasure nor pain, appetite nor passion,
     can exist in or of matter, while divine Mind can and does
   6  destroy the false beliefs of pleasure, pain, or fear and all
     the sinful appetites of the human mind.
         What a pitiful sight is malice, finding pleasure in re-
   9  venge! Evil is sometimes a man's highest conception
     of right, until his grasp on good grows stronger.

     Then he loses pleasure in wickedness, and it
  12  becomes his torment. The way to escape the misery of
     sin is to cease sinning. There is no other way. Sin is
     the image of the beast to be effaced by the sweat of agony.
  15  It is a moral madness which rushes forth to clamor with
     midnight and tempest.

  18  Science seem peremptory; but mortals are has-

     evil has in reality neither place nor power in the human or
  21  the divine economy.]]]
         Fear of punishment never made man truly honest.
     Moral courage is requisite to meet the wrong and to
  24  proclaim the right. But how shall we re-

     form the man who has more animal than
     moral courage, and who has not the true idea of good?
  27  Through human consciousness, convince the mortal of
     his mistake in seeking material means for gaining hap-
     piness. Reason is the most active human faculty. Let
  30  that inform the sentiments and awaken the man's dor-
     mant sense of moral obligation, and by degrees he will
     learn the nothingness of the pleasures of human sense
