Disease is an image of thought externalized.

You embrace your body in your thought, and you should delineate upon it thoughts of health, not of sickness.

Audible prayer can never do the works of spiritual understanding, which regenerates; but silent prayer, watchfulness, and devout obedience enable us to follow Jesus example.

You conquer error by denying its verity.

To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, today is big with blessings.
