DENVER, COLORADO:
Jesus said to his disciples, " I have many things to say unto
you, but ye cannot bear them now"; which plainly shows us
that Jesus was limited in his speaking of the Truth, by the
dulness of his hearers. He could give to the disciples only
what they were able to "bear," or to receive. He sometimes
rebuked their lack of understanding. Matt. 15:16 ; Mark 8:21.
the Spirit throughout the ages to come, until " all Truth"
had been received and understood.
Christ is " The way, the truth and the life. " As fast
as we are able to be led in the " Way, " and to " bear, "
or carry in our hearts the " Truth, " and to " hear, " or
understand the so-called " mysteries " of " Life, " just so
surely is the " veil, " or lack of understanding, being
" done away. "
that hide the sun from us, and shut out the warmth and
brightness of its presence, are around our earth, and arise
from the earth. These intercept the light of the sun, so
that it does not reach us, but the sun shines on and on
unaltered by the clouds around us.
Jesus said, " Ye shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free. " Jno. 8:32. These words express
a truth for all times, as long as man any where is not
free. The promise is given to-day, to every yearning one,
who feels the depression of bondage to the flesh, or to
" The ills that flesh is heir to. "
" How far from here to heaven? Not very far, my friend;
A single hearty step will' all thy journey end.
Hold, there ! where runnest thou? Know heaven is in thee.
Seekest thou for God elsewhere, His face thou'lt never see."
I must know then where God is, and what God is,
to know where and what my good is.
CONDENSED STATEMENTS.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God." Jno. 1 :1 Christ is
here called the "Word" of God, which signifies the ex-
pression of God; or the expression of Life, Truth and
Love. This eliminates all idea of personality.
card the old self; do not try to improve the mortal, but
accept the Divine Self in its stead. If the Divine is ex-
alted and the mortal denied a place, soon it will "No
longer live," but the Divine will be all life.
CONDENSED STATEMENTS.
"If the Son shall make you free, then are ye free in-
deed." Jno. 8: 36.

Son and Holy Ghost. Our three lessons thus far have
presented the spiritual idea of this Trinity.
But the vine with its branches which it has put forth,
is not yet complete. A third necessity exists ; from the
branches must proceed fruit: if the branch adheres prop-
erly to the vine it bears much fruit, if it becomes severed
from the vine, both branch and fruit wither and die.
"Abide in me," says the "Vine," "and ye shall bring forth
much fruit, for apart from me ye can do nothing."
found a refuge from every ill! Into it we may run and es-
cape every claim or belief of mortality.
"If we are wise," says one, "We will not permit any-
thing to enter our thoughts, that we are not willing to
have expressed in our bodies." "Think the thoughts of
Infinite Mind. Watch your thinking, control it with
Truth. There is a channel, so to speak, through which
the Light (of Divinity, the Life, the Perfection, Whole-
ness, etc.) is conveyed to its destination, and this chan-
nel is man's capacity to think."

"When the angels look into the soul of man, they see
only the good and true."
"And it seems to me that the more we grow,
Like the angels in love and duty,
The less we shall see of evil in all,
And the more of good and beauty.
And so the good shall increase, increase,
And evil shall vanish away,

shalt not believe in good and evil, for if thou dost, thou
shalt reap good and evil.
PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father and
mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters,
yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
"For yet a little while and the wicked shall not be.
Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall
68 STUDIES IN THE SCIENCE OF DIVINE HEALING.
"He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with
fire." Christ's baptism upon us, immerses us in Divine
Consciousness, which purifies us from our beliefs in
something beside God.
The "deep sleep" that fell upon Adam, has held the
race in dullness until this day. But it is written, "As in
Adam all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive." Not
in some far off Adam, any more than a far off Christ !
In the ignorant thought within us, is belief of separation
and death. Also in the consciousness of sonship within
us, is knowledge of oneness and life eternal for all.
DENY THYSELF.
"Open thy mouth wide and I will fill it." Psl. 81:10
Make plenty of room to receive, the Divine sets no limit.
If thought is half filled with belief of evil, it cannot be
more than half filled with good. If thought is emptied
of all belief of evil, it can be filled full of good.
A CHILD'S PRAYER.
"Now I lay me down to sleep,
I know that God His child doth keep,
I know that God my life is nigh,
I live in Him, I cannot die.
where rest eternal is. "Come unto me, and rest." En-
ter into the Consciousness that I am Rest; my thought
expresses the Rest that I am, and my body shows it
forth this is the only lasting rest; and the body will
continually demand it, until we give it its own!. The tired
body then is a warning voice to us. "Give me my true
rest."
The two and three are the branches and fruit; and
Vine (Creator) includes and holds in oneness with itself,
its branches and fruit (creation).
One says, "To get above the clouds you must ascend
the mountain; so with the soul; it must rise to where it is
lighted by Supreme Truth, before the mists of error and
ignorance vanish."
WHAT I AM NOT.
When our eyes are opened to see, we too are made con-
scious of the Divine that surrounds us, and can say, "I
will fear no evil, for Thou art with me."
not find their light; in sickness they tried, but could not
find their health!
ceiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are
foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because
they are spiritually discerned." 1Cor. 2:14.
We have let good and evil, Truth and error, Life and
death, Peace and discord, Health and sickness, share our
faith. Now we refuse to do so! We deny the truth of
evil appearances; because we do not find cause for
them in the One Source, the One Life, the One Mind,
the One Truth, we reject them; this is erasing our old
wrong example, in order to write new and truer figures.
One says, that all our trouble comes from the use of
two little words, "mine" and "thine." These certainly
admit a claim of separation When we learn to speak
the "I am" in consciousness of oneness, we will know
how to say with Jesus, "All thine are mine, and all mine
are thine."
