sense of Being is too finite for anchorage in Infinite Good, God, because mortals now believe in the possibility that Life can be evil.
The achievement of this ultimatum of Science, complete triumph over death, requires time and immense spiritual growth.
I have by no means spoken of myself, I can not speak of myself, as “sufficient for these things.” I insist only upon the fact, as it exists in Divine Science, that man dies not, and on the words of the Master in support of this verity, — words which can never “pass away till all be fulfilled.”
Because of these profound reasons I urge Christians to have more faith in living than in dying. I exhort them to accept Christ's promise, and unite the influence of their own thoughts with the power of his teachings, in the Science of Being. This will interpret the Divine Power to human capacity, and enable us to apprehend or lay hold upon, that “for which,” as Paul says in the fifth chapter of Philippians, “we are also apprehended [or grasped] by Christ Jesus,” — the ever-present Life, which knows no death, the omnipresent Spirit, which knows no matter.
