UNCONSCIOUS IDOLATRY

THE EARL OF DUNMORE.

There is no power apart from God. Omnipotence has all-power, and to acknowledge any other power is to dishonor God.

Science and Health, p. 228.

What a stupendous area of thought does this pronouncement of our Leader open out to us! What a field in which to exercise our reasoning powers, with a view to arriving at the truth concerning the absolute omnipotence of the one Mind, God, and the equally absolute impotence of any mundane counterfeit of power! As our Leader says, "To acknowledge any other power is to dishonor God" (Science and Health, p. 228). This is a strong but thoroughly wholesome declaration, which every one would do well to ponder; one on which to ask one's self the question, "How far does this saying apply to myself?"
