ness, and I could not communicate any such ideas to you in such a way as to produce this thing you call a tumor.

You have never heard people talk just for the sake of talking; you have never heard vain, boasting, speculative talk which the people indulging in did not believe themselves, and you could not be deceived into holding any boastful, pompous condition of mind, and it could not show forth in this thing you call a tumor.

No one can see or hear more than there is, and God never made any false, imaginative things that were deceptive through and through. God sees and hears all that there is, but he beholdeth not anything false. Why should you?

If you are the Image of God, can you see or hear anything but what God does?

If you are the Image of God, can you be anything false or unlike the Truth?

Nothing that your parents have ever heard about men and women being born in sin and brought forth in iniquity, or that they are under the law of the physical passions and appetites, has ever made them believe it, and they co ld not communicate any such thoughts to you so that it would bear fruit in this thing you call a tumor, because they are the image of God and God does not create such things. They and you were conceived by God in His own image and likeness, and are perfect, pure and holy.

Your relatives, friends and acquaintances have never really heard that they were conceived in sin and born in iniquity, they have always known that any such thoughts were false, and would not entertain them for an instant, and you are not appearing to show forth any such thoughts in this thing you call a tumor.

The people that you meet occasionally on the streets, in the cars, places of amusement, churches, or anywhere,

are not reflecting anything they may seem to have heard, or thought they heard, about the passions and appetites, upon you in such a way as to show forth this thing you call a tumor.

Nothing that I ever heard makes me think that I was conceived in sin or born in iniquity, or that I am a worm of the dust; I deny and repudiate any such idea, because I am created in the image of the Most High: and I am not reflecting anything false upon you. I am telling you the Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth. There is but one law and we are all under that law; the law of God the Good. We are under the law that we were conceived by Good and brought forth in Purity. Created in the image of God, after his own likeness, and all our thoughts run in that direction; and I deny away anything contrary from your mind and I affirm that anything contrary has faded out of existence, though really it never existed.

Anything you have heard about anyone being born in sin or conceived in iniquity, or that they were under the law of the fleshly, animal propensities, is false; and any such thoughts are now fading out of your mind and the appearances, the shadowy pictures, are fading away. You are a child of God; Free, Immortal and Wise, and are not under the physical senses at all.

Ard as Jesus passed by he saw a man which was blind. from birth, and his disciples asked him saying, Master who did sin this man or his parents that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. The disciples held, probably, to the idea that all trouble came from sin, or wrong thoughts and so they asked the question, where the trouble came from, from the man himself or inherited? Jesus said, Neither hath this

man sinned, nor his parents. What a whole lesson there is contained in the Master's answer, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents! And yet, a.favorite text with some is that there is none without sin, no not one; but from this it seems the Master did not hold to any such thought. Another case is where he was speaking of Nathaniel, and said of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no Guile!

Another point about this same blind man is that he was remarkably well versed in the scripture and was able to talk back to the Pharisees and show to them that God did not hear sinners. And to us the lesson is, that God does not hear sinful words any more than He sees iniquity. The Pharisees told the man, he was born in sin, and cast him out of the synagogue, but Jesus told him he was not born in sin, and healed him.

Nothing that your parents have ever heard has made them suppose that sin, sickness or death were real or that selfishness, envy, jealousy, cruelty, malice, or revenge were the true law, they have no fear of these things nor were ever deceived by them, and they have not nor could not reflect them upon you in such a way as to show forth in this thing you call a tumor. Your parents have never heard any prayers go up and had it in their power to answer them and turned coldly away, as though they had nothing to do with anything but themselves; they have not believed in the law of selfishness, nor that there was any truth in the saying, Everyone for himself and the devil take the hindermost. I say that they have not heard any of God's children asking for bread and given them a stone; and I say that thereby they did not produce the thought in your mind so that it shadowed forth this thing you call a tumor. Nothing that your relatives have ever heard has made them place any confidence in sin, sickness or death or led

them to think that selfishness, envy, jealousy, cruelty, malice, or revenge were to be depended upon. They have no fear of these things nor were ever deceived by them, and they have not, and could not, reflect any such thoughts upon you so that they, would show forth in this thing you call a tumor. I say that your brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, do not believe in being selfish. They have never heard any of God's children asking for anything and refused to do something to lighten the burden. I say they are not hearing those requests every day, and it is not those things that harden their hearts and seem to affect your sensitive state of mind, and that it does not tend to produce this shadowy thing you call a tumor.

I deny that your friends, acquaintances, associates, companions, those that you meet daily and open your mind to and who open their mind so that you seem to catch glimpses of it, have ever heard that sin, sickness or death was a true law, or one to be depended upon, or that selfishness, envy, jealousy, cruelty, malice, or revenge was in any way conducive to their health, strength or happiness. They have no fear of these things nor were ever deceived by them and could not reflect their thoughts upon you in such away as to make it appear in this thing you call a tumor. I say they never heard the cry going up from those that hunger and thirst, from the strangers, the naked, the sick and those in prison, they never heard the cry but that they responded, they did not turn away, they did not harden their hearts, and their condition of mind does not seem to show forth

in you.

I deny that the people you meet on the streets, in the cars, churches, theatres or anywhere, hear that sin, sickness or death are to be relied upon or that selfishness, envy, jealousy, cruelty, malice or revenge are the true law.

They have no fear of these things nor were ever deceived by them, and could not reflect them upon you in such a way as to show forth in this thing that seems to trouble you. I say they never heard that selfishness was good, or that envy was a thing to prize, or that jealousy would bring them any peace, or that cruelty was a thing to cherish, or malice a pleasant companion, or that revenge would make them happy; and they are not holding them in their mind, and cannot reflect them upon you in such a way as to produce this thing you call tumor.

The people in the whole world have not heard anything about sin, sickness or death that makes them anxious to hold on to them, or think that selfishness, envy, jealousy, cruelty, malice, or revenge pays any kind of return for the time wasted in thinking about them. And I deny that any of these kind of thoughts can reach you or affect you.

I have heard nothing about sin, sickness or death that makes me retain them in my mind, or think that selfishness, envy, jealousy, cruelty, malice, or revenge accomplish anything or help anyone. I deny that I could send you any thoughts that would show forth in you as trouble of any sort. I have no fear of these things, nor was ever deceived by them.

You have heard nothing about sin, sickness or death that makes you cling to them, nor have you heard anything about selfishness, envy, jealousy, cruelty, malice, or revenge that makes you believe that they are the true conditions. You have no fear of them nor are deceived by them. You have never heard the cry of the widow or the fatherless but that you responded. You have never heard any cry or petition, but that you were always willing and anxious to grant it, and did all in your power to help along every good cause. And I deny that anything you have ever heard has
