Let us refuse to allow error to attach itself to us in any way, shape, or manner. Its claim that it once had activity, presence, power, cause, intelligence, or law is a false and spurious claim, and should be seen and handled only as its last, desperate effort, since all else has failed, to get itself perpetuated as a belief of memory. Let us refuse to give it life, even to that extent.

Divine Love increases and blesses our supply. Whatever is mine, is mine now; nothing can come between me and my perfect supply — neither time nor space. Supply is therefore here and now.

Man is forever enfolded within the perfect consciousness of Good. He cannot get away, for one instant, from the protecting, loving, all-inspiring, all-sustaining, all-seeing, all-controlling purity of Love.

We could not hope for salvation if it were not equally available for all. Divine Principle knows no special dispensations. It is because Truth is universal that each of us may come into a knowledge of it. ... What a privilege it is, then, to help all mankind by our right thinking, our earnest prayers, our frequent and silent realizations of the truth!
