claim to power is in proportion to the faith in evil, and

consequently to the lack of faith in good. Such false

faith finds no place in, and receives no aid from, the

Principle or the rules of Christian Science; for it denies

the grand verity of this Science, namely, that God, good, [15]

has all power.

This leaves the individual no alternative but to re-

linquish his faith in evil, or to argue against his own

convictions of good and so destroy his power to be or

to do good, because he has no faith in the omnipotence [20]
