Habakkuk  i:  12,  13.  Art  thou  not  from  ever-
lasting, 0  Lord  my  God,  mine  Holy  One?  We  shall
not  die  [consciousness  of  continuity  of  life].  0  Lord,
thou  hast  ordained  them  for  judgment;  and,  O
Mighty  God,  thou  hast  established  them  for  correc-
tion. Thou  art  of  purer  eyes  than  to  behold  evil,  and
canst  not  look  on  iniquity:  wherefore  lookest  thou
upon  them  that  deal  treacherously,  and  holdest  thy
tongue  when  the  wicked  devoureth  [the  problem  of
carnal  man  existing  along  with]  the  man  that  is  more
righteous  than  he?  [God  not  understood  by  this  quo-
tation. The  same  problem  we  have  to-day  stated
in  the  same  paragraph  with  the  statement  of  a  *  *  God
without  iniquity."]  [In  him  we  live,  and  move,  and
have  our  being.  Can  a  good  tree  bring  forth  evil
fruit?]

Luke  6:  45.  A  good  man  [spiritual  mind]  out
of  the  good  treasure  of  his  heart  bringeth  forth  that
which  is  good ;  and  an  evil  man  out  of  the  evil  treasure
of  his  heart  bringeth  forth  that  which  is  evil :  for  of  the
abundance  of  the  heart  his  mouth  speaketh.  [Faith
brings  into  substance  the  law  of  sin  and  death  or  the
spiritual  law  according  to  its  use.]

Luke  21:  33.  Heaven  and  earth  shall  pass
away  [a  consciousness  of  material  things  shall  pass
away] ;  but  my  words  shall  net  pass  away.  [The  ideas
of  God  shall  live  forever,  by  every  word  which  pro-
ceedeth  from  the  mouth  of  God  shall  man  live.]

Ecc.  12:  3.  In  the  day  when  the  keepers  of  the
house  shall  tremble,  and  the  strong  men  [mortal,
carnal  mind]  shall  bow  themselves,  and  the  grinders

the  windows  be  darkened.
