   1  guages the word for man is used also as the synonym of
     mind. This definition has been weakened by anthropo-
   3  morphism, or a humanization of Deity. The word an-
     thropomorphic, in such a phrase as "an anthropomorphic
     God," is derived from two Greek words, signifying man
   6  and form, and may be defined as a mortally mental at-
     tempt to reduce Deity to corporeality. The life-giving
     quality of Mind is Spirit, not matter. The ideal man
   9  corresponds to creation, to intelligence, and to Truth.
     [[[The ideal woman corresponds to Life and to Love. In
     divine Science, we have not as much authority for con-
  12  sidering God masculine, as we have for considering
     Him feminine, for Love imparts the clearest idea of
     Deity.]]]
  15      The world believes in many persons; but if God is per-
     sonal, there is but one person, because there is but one
     God. His personality can only be reflected,

    Divine
    personality

  18  not transmitted. God has countless ideas, and
     they all have one Principle and parentage. The only
     proper symbol of God as person is Mind's infinite ideal.
  21  What is this ideal? Who shall behold it? This ideal
     is God's own image, spiritual and infinite. Even eternity
     can never reveal the whole of God, since there is no limit
  24  to infinitude or to its reflections.


     Genesis i. 28. And God blessed them, and God said unto
     them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth,
  27  and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea,
     and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing
     that moveth upon the earth.


  30      Divine Love blesses its own ideas, and causes them to
     multiply,--to manifest His power. Man is not made
