Chapter VIII - Footsteps Of Truth
The true healing

must be obliterated through Christ in divine Science, or
the so-called physical senses will get the victory.
Destruction of all evil
231:3
Unless an ill is rightly met and fairly overcome by
Unless an ill is rightly met and fairly overcome by
Truth, the ill is never conquered. If God destroys not
sin, sickness, and death, they are not de-
stroyed in the mind of mortals, but seem to
this so-called mind to be immortal. What God cannot
do, man need not attempt. If God heals not the sick,
they are not healed, for no lesser power equals the infinite
All-power; but God, Truth, Life, Love, does heal the
sick through the prayer of the righteous.
231:12
If God makes sin, if good produces evil, if truth results
If God makes sin, if good produces evil, if truth results
in error, then Science and Christianity are helpless; but
there are no antagonistic powers nor laws, spiritual or
material, creating and governing man through perpetual
warfare. God is not the author of mortal discords.
Therefore we accept the conclusion that discords have
only a fabulous existence, are mortal beliefs which divine
Truth and Love destroy.
Superiority to sickness and sin
231:20
To hold yourself superior to sin, because God made
To hold yourself superior to sin, because God made
you superior to it and governs man, is true wisdom. To
fear sin is to misunderstand the power of Love
and the divine Science of being in man's rela-
tion to God, – to doubt His government and
distrust His omnipotent care. To hold yourself superior
to sickness and death is equally wise, and is in accordance
with divine Science. To fear them is impossible, when
you fully apprehend God and know that they are no part
of His creation.
231:30
Man, governed by his Maker, having no other Mind, –
Man, governed by his Maker, having no other Mind, –
planted on the Evangelist's statement that "all things
were made by Him [the Word of God]; and without
