Demonstration

ZEBULINE H. BECK.

"THE supremacy of Spirit was the foundation on which Jesus built" (Science and Health, p. 138). Jesus said that "Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:... and every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand."

We who are seeking to build our House Beautiful, should be sure its foundation is based upon the supremacy of Spirit, of Mind, and not on the shifting sands of mortal mind, and its so-called laws. Shifting sand is a type of mortal mind and never to be depended upon. This supremacy of Mind must be acknowledged, not only as the governing power in the spiritual realm, but also in the so-called material world. The acknowledgment of the eternal fact that immortal Mind governs all, annuls the claims of matter to sovereignty.

We can have but one standard to follow if we would be victorious, for a divided interest brings a divided result. Unity of thought, oneness of purpose should be our working basis. To make perfect demonstrations we must rigorously exclude every suggestion of error from our thought. If we let error be aught else than error, we are taking failure into our problem, and there will be failure in our conclusion. The closer we live to Spirit, the higher our demonstration of its laws will be.
