The Passing of a Dream

LETITIA H. GREENE.

We are told in Science and Health, p. 418, that "Tumors, ulcers, tubercles, inflammation, pain, deformed joints, are all dream-shadows, dark images of mortal thought, which will flee before the light," and this has suggested an illustration which has been particularly helpful to me. Every discordant condition of the body is really like a lantern slide picture. When the room is dark the picture is clearly defined upon the sheet, but suddenly the curtains are drawn aside, the room is flooded with sunlight, and there is now no picture upon the sheet whatever, though the operator, the apparatus, and the sheet are exactly as they were, and nothing has been changed; but in place of darkness, there is light, and the sheet is absolutely free from the picture which it once presented. So does the sunlight of Christian Science destroy the mental pictures evolved in the darkness of mortal thought, and the tablet of our mind is revealed, pure and undefiled.
