are negation: for evil signifies the absence of good, God,

though God is ever present; and matter claims some-

thing besides God, when God is really All. Creation,

Mind, and all that really is,—must be spiritual and [25]

mental. This is Science, and is susceptible of proof.

To erring material sense, No! but to unerring spiritual

sense, it is a small manifestation of Mind, a type of spirit-

ual substance, “the substance of things hoped for.” [30]
