Truth demonstrated is not a flight from one extreme to another, but is a “firmament” to divide the waters from the waters. Desire ye that your “flight” (your turning) from matter to Spirit, be not in the absence of demonstration…. “On the Sabbath day” — the Sabbath spiritually seen; have we ever pictured it? — the Sabbath of the world!

Begin to act as though you had dominion, and as though the fear was a baseless fraud; and for the sole reason that Good is omnipotent, and that a knowledge of the Truth does make free from error, you will find, to your joy, and perhaps surprise, that men, governed by Intelligence, can triumph over evil.

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.
