Section 6—True and False Systems of Mind Cure

blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye
may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to

of this science, into which many were entering. The mind cure was
entered upon very innocently—to relieve the tension upon the minds
