True courage can proceed only from spiritual understanding. Sense-testimony does not furnish good and sufficient reasons for courage. Mere optimism is skin deep, and in the presence of danger reveals itself as insufficient. Only the understanding of the truth of being, of reality, can save humanity from the pretense to power claimed by error and unreality.

The Christian Scientist keeps straight to the course. His whole inquiry and demonstration lie in the line of Truth; hence he suffers no shipwreck in a starless night on the shoals of vainglory. His medicine is Mind — the omnipotent and ever-present good.

Man’s feelings can act only in accord with their Source and Principle, God, and they are not affected by that which is not their Source or Principle of being.

Let it always be borne in mind by believers in the Bible that Jesus declared the evidence of the presence of the Kingdom to be the healing of the sick, the casting out of devils, the cleansing of lepers, and the raising of the dead. Certainly these must be the evidences, for, carried to their ultimate effect, they comprehend the complete redemption of the human race.

“To successfully treat children, cut off the parent thought. Man is the offspring of God, not man. The material birth is but the false conception. Realize that matter cannot transmit good or evil. It is inert, unintelligent, and cannot be the medium of intelligence. ... Detach the thought of the child from the parent and the germs of erroneous seed of the parent thought will cease to impress the child.”

Man is forever enfolded within the perfect consciousness of Good. He cannot get away, for one instant, from the protecting, loving, all-inspiring, all-sustaining, all-seeing, all-controlling purity of Love. He has no care, no responsibility, nothing to arrange, to plan, to accomplish, to get, to long for, because he simply has all possible good.

We could not hope for salvation if it were not equally available for all. Divine Principle knows no special dispensations. It is because Truth is universal that each of us may come into a knowledge of it. ... What a privilege it is, then, to help all mankind by our right thinking, our earnest prayers, our frequent and silent realizations of the truth!
