Question of precedence

Which was first, Mind or medicine? If Mind was first and self-existent, then Mind, not matter, must have been the first medicine. God being All-in- all, He made medicine; but that medicine was Mind. It could not have been matter, which departs from the nature and character of Mind, God. Truth

is God's remedy for error of every kind, and Truth de- stroys only what is untrue. Hence the fact that, to-day, as yesterday, Christ casts out evils and heals the sick.
