The Christ Is Gods image in man,

is the King who hourly sits in judg-

The second appearing of the Christ to

MARY b. e.. Eddy.
Jesus, referring to this second appear

the son of man cometh, Will he find
faith upon the earth?'' There is some
thing in the question which implies that
he would not find faith, or but little,
and so it proved. The revelation of
divine science, as voiced by this woman,

God Christ, the spirituaD. But the
