The so-called laws of health are simply laws of mortal
belief. The premises being erroneous, the conclusions
are wrong. Truth makes no laws to regulate sickness,
sin, and death, for these are unknown to Truth and should

this as a rule of divine Science by destroying the delusion

ural. I then requested her to look at the weather-vane.
She looked and saw that it pointed due east. The wind
