a certain finite human sense, that God comes to us and pities us; but the attainment of the understanding of His presence, through the Science of God, destroys our sense of imperfection, or of His absence, through a diviner sense that God is all true consciousness; and this convinces us that, as we get still nearer Him, we must forever lose our own consciousness of error.
But how could we lose all consciousness of error, if God be conscious of it? God has not forbidden man to know Him; on the contrary, the Father bids man have “the same Mind which was also in Christ Jesus,” — which was certainly the Divine Mind; but God does forbid man's acquaintance with evil. Why? Because evil is no proper part of the divine knowledge.
The Gospel declares (John xvii. 3) that Life Eternal consists in the knowledge of the only true God, and of Jesus Christ whom He has sent. Surely from such an understanding of Science, such knowing, the vision of sin is wholly excluded.
Nevertheless, at the present crude hour, no wise men or women will rudely or prematurely agitate a theme involving the All of Infinity.
