are in the darkness of all the ages, wherein the true sense [1]

of the unity of good and the unreality of evil is lost.

If good is God, even as God is good, then good and

evil can neither be coeval nor coequal, for God is All-in-

all. This closes the argument of aught besides Him, aught [5]

else than good.

If the sense of sin is too little, mortals are in danger

of not seeing their own belief in sin, but of seeing too

keenly their neighbor's. Then they are beset with

egotism and hypocrisy. Here Christian Scientists must [10]

be most watchful. Their habit of mental and audible

protest against the reality of sin, tends to make sin less

or more to them than to other people. They must either

be overcoming sin in themselves, or they must not lose

sight of sin; else they are self-deceived sinners of the [15]

worst sort.
