PRIMARY LESSONS IN CHRISTIAN LIVING AND HEALING
PREFACE
FOR over twelve years these lessons have been given to spiritual students, hundreds of whom are living demonstrations of their efficacy in healing.
Not only have the sick been healed by the practice of these teachings, but characters have been redeemed from vice and weakness, and prosperity has come to those who had never dreamed that there is a law of mind that gives fortune and freedom from debt. Therefore these teachings are not theoretical or chimerical, but proven Truth, that Truth which is more valuable than any earthly treasure that could be named, and for which no exchange would even be considered by the one who has learned and realized It.
The lessons were first brought out as a serial in the metaphysical magazine Unity, of Kansas City, Mo., and through its wide circulation they have reached thousands whose loving testimonials are coming to the writer every day.
As numbers of public teachers and healers have been the fruitage of the oral deliverance of these lectures, the same blessed harvest is anticipated through their dissemination in printing. Already the good news has come from different localities of groups gathering day after day and listening to the reading of the lessons by some one of their number, whose enthusiasm and faith baptizes the letter of the reading with that Spirit which is the essential goodness of oral instruction.
Whoever wishes to use these lessons in teaching is welcome to do so, without referring to the author of them. No greater praise could be given than to quote them as impersonal Truth.
For the benefit of those who wish to make a study of the Bible with the true understanding of spiritual things there has been added an index of all the Bible references used in the book. Many obscure texts will be found among them whose interpretation is given clearly in the context of the book where the passage is quoted.
Teachers and speakers who wish to give sermons and Bible readings will find this index of much assistance.
Go, little book, and if in the great galaxy of spiritual lights that shall crown this century as the Spiritual Renaissance of the world thou canst be the polar star to even one weary mariner, lost upon the ocean of delusion, by which Truth may guide him to his Home, thine existence will have been well accounted for, and thy mission blessed.

INTRODUCTORY. DIRECTIONS TO STUDENTS.
IN taking up the study of pure Truth it is well for the student to understand what is the best attitude of mind to keep in order to receive the greatest good in the easiest way and in the shortest possible time.
Be as nearly like a child as you know how. For the time being put aside the old ways of thinking, former prejudices, and unbeliefs, and listen quietly to all that is presented to you. Do not try to reconcile your old ideas with these that are given you here, neither look for differences. Sit calmly and quietly as the judge sits upon his bench, and listen with impartiality and without fear.
Do not feel obliged to accept or reject what is given you, but trust the Truth in yourself to adjust all things, and to give to you and retain in you only that which is indeed true.
Do not argue about any statement given you, either for it or against it. You do not need to defend the Truth, for Truth is sufficient unto itself. And if a statement seems untrue leave it alone. If it is not of God it cannot live.
It is well to talk these teachings over with one who is harmonious, but if either feels any disturbance or in-harmony then let silence reign, for then indeed is silence golden.
These lessons are healing, and as you eat and digest and assimilate these truths you will find false physical conditions dropping away, and false and disturbing thoughts passing utterly from your mind forever.
While you are being healed do not be surprised or discouraged if there are days when you seem worse, either in body or mind, than usual. At such times read those parts of the lessons that help you many times over, and you will be lifted right up into peace and health speedily.
Repetition and reiteration are purposely adhered to, for this course is a study, not a diversion.
Just before studying each lesson, sit for a few moments in silence and declare for yourself:
"Truth is my God. I love the Truth. Therefore I trust the Truth to guide me into all Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth,"

LESSON I. FIRST PRINCIPLES.
AS with our mental eyes we look forth over the world and consider its people, and what they are living for, and what they are most earnestly desiring, we find that all mankind have one common pursuit, and all are desirous of but one thing, and that is Happiness.
No matter by what name they are calling their desire, whether it is power, honors, riches, health, peace, love, or knowledge, everyone and all can be summed up and brought under the one name, Happiness.
Not only does everyone pursue happiness, but everyone at sometime believes that he can have it, and at all times he believes that he has a right to have it.
