imal to immensity, and the highest ideas are the sons and daughters of God.

The divine Principle and idea constitute spiritual harmony, — Heaven and eternity. In this universe of Exclusions. Truth, matter is unlvnown. No supposition of error enters there. Christian Science, the Word of God, saith to the darkness upon the face of error, “God is All-in-all;” and light appears in proportion as this is understood. It reveals the eternal wonder, — that infinite space is peopled with God's ideas, reflecting Him in countless spiritual forms.

Genesis i. 3. And God said: “Let there be light!” and there was light.

Immortal and divine Mind presents the idea of God: first, in light; second, in reflection; third, in spiritual Mind's idea. and immortal forms of beauty and goodness; but this Mind creates no element or symbol of discord and decay. God creates neither erring thought, mortal life, mutable truth, nor variable love.

Genesis i. 4. And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.

God, Spirit, dwelling in infinite light and harmony, from which emanates the true idea, is never reflected by aught but the Good.

Genesis i. 5. And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
