| 1 | slowly out of sinning sense into spiritual understanding; |
| | unwillingness to learn all things rightly, binds Christen- |
| 3 | dom with chains. |
| | Love will finally mark the hour of harmony, and spir- |
| | itualization will follow, for Love is Spirit. Before error |
| 6 | is wholly destroyed, there will be interrup- | The darkest
hours of all |
| | tions of the general material routine. Earth |
| | will become dreary and desolate, but summer and winter, |
| 9 | seedtime and harvest (though in changed forms), will |
| | continue unto the end,--until the final spiritualization of |
| | all things. "The darkest hour precedes the dawn." |
| 12 | This material world is even now becoming the arena |
| | for conflicting forces. On one side there will be discord |
| | and dismay; on the other side there will be | Arena of
contest |
| 15 | Science and peace. The breaking up of mate- |
| | rial beliefs may seem to be famine and pestilence, want |
| | and woe, sin, sickness, and death, which assume new |
| 18 | phases until their nothingness appears. These disturb- |
| | ances will continue until the end of error, when all |
| | discord will be swallowed up in spiritual Truth. |
| 21 | Mortal error will vanish in a moral chemicalization. |
| | This mental fermentation has begun, and will continue |
| | until all errors of belief yield to understanding. Belief is |
| 24 | changeable, but spiritual understanding is changeless. |
| | As this consummation draws nearer, he who has |
| | shaped his course in accordance with divine Science |
| 27 | will endure to the end. As material knowl- | Millennial
glory |
| | edge diminishes and spiritual understanding |
| | increases, real objects will be apprehended mentally |
| 30 | instead of materially. |
| | [[[During this final conflict, wicked minds will endeavor |
| | to find means by which to accomplish more evil; but |
| 1 | those who discern Christian Science will hold crime in |
| | check. They will aid in the ejection of error. They |
| 3 | will maintain law and order, and cheerfully await the |
| | certainty of ultimate perfection.]]] |
| | In reality, the more closely error simulates truth and |
| 6 | so-called matter resembles its essence, mortal mind, the |
| | more impotent error becomes as a belief. Ac- | Dangerous
resemblances |
| | cording to human belief, the lightning is fierce |
| 9 | and the electric current swift, yet in Christian Science |
| | the flight of one and the blow of the other will become |
| | harmless. The more destructive matter becomes, the |
| 12 | more its nothingness will appear, until matter reaches |
| | its mortal zenith in illusion and forever disappears. The |
| | nearer a false belief approaches truth without passing |
| 15 | the boundary where, having been destroyed by divine |
| | Love, it ceases to be even an illusion, the riper it becomes |
| | for destruction. The more material the belief, the more |
| 18 | obvious its error, until divine Spirit, supreme in its do- |
| | main, dominates all matter, and man is found in the like- |
| | ness of Spirit, his original being. |
| 21 | The broadest facts array the most falsities against |
| | themselves, for they bring error from under cover. It |
| | requires courage to utter truth; for the higher Truth |
| 24 | lifts her voice, the louder will error scream, until its in- |
| | articulate sound is forever silenced in oblivion. |
| | "He uttered His voice, the earth melted." This Scrip- |
| 27 | ture indicates that all matter will disappear before the |
| | supremacy of Spirit. |
| | Christianity is again demonstrating the Life that is |
| 30 | Truth, and the Truth that is Life, by the apos- | Christianity
still rejected |
| | tolic work of casting out error and healing the |
| | sick. Earth has no repayment for the persecutions which |
