   1  pleasure must come through mind, and like a watchman
     forsaking his post, we admit the intruding belief, forget-
   3  ting that through divine help we can forbid this entrance.
         The body seems to be self-acting, only because mortal
     mind is ignorant of itself, of its own actions, and of their
   6  results,--ignorant that the predisposing, re-

    The strength
    of Spirit

     mote, and exciting cause of all bad effects is a
     law of so-called mortal mind, not of matter. Mind is the
   9  master of the corporeal senses, and can conquer sickness,
     sin, and death. [[[Exercise this God-given authority. Take
     possession of your body, and govern its feeling and action.
  12  Rise in the strength of Spirit to resist all that is unlike
     good. God has made man capable of this, and nothing
     can vitiate the ability and power divinely bestowed on

     of any kind, when it is self-evident that matter can have
  21  no pain nor inflammation. Your body would suffer no
     more from tension or wounds than the trunk of a tree
     which you gash or the electric wire which you stretch,
  24  were it not for mortal mind.
         When Jesus declares that "the light of the body is the
     eye," he certainly means that light depends upon Mind,
  27  not upon the complex humors, lenses, muscles, the iris
     and pupil, constituting the visual organism.
         Man is never sick, for Mind is not sick and matter
  30  cannot be. A false belief is both the tempter

    No real
    disease

     and the tempted, the sin and the sinner, the
     disease and its cause. It is well to be calm in sickness;
