grows again. If the Science of Life were understood, it would be found that the senses of Mind are never Lobster and limb. lost, and that matter has no sensation. Then the human limb would be replaced as readily as the lobster's claw, — not with an artificial limb, but with the genuine one. Any hypothesis which supposes life to be in matter, is an educated belief. In infancy this belief is not equal to guiding the hand to the mouth; and as existence goes on, it yields to the reality of everlasting Life.

How then can this sense be the channel of blessings or of understanding to man? How can man, reflecting God, be dependent on such material senses for knowing, hearing, seeing? Who dare say that the senses of man can be at one time the medium for serving sin, and at another for communion with God? An affirmative reply would contradict the Scripture, for the same fountain sendeth not forth sweet and bitter waters.
The corporeal senses are the only source of evil or error. Christian Science shows them to be false; since Organized emptiness. matter has no sensation, and no organic construction can give it hearing and sight, or make it the medium of Mind. Outside the material sense of things, all is harmony. A wrong sense of God, man, and creation is non-sense, or want of sense. Mortal belief would have the material senses sometimes good and sometimes bad. It assures mortals that there is real pleasure in sin; but the grand truths of Christian Science dispute this error.
