Of righteous dominion is for this world.
but partakes not of worIdllness. Ac-

is at once the son Of God and son @:
man, His divinity or immortal selfhood
Is enc with the divine nature that we
call Gcd. His humanity is one with uni

in the flesh. Such character constitutes
the eternal normality of Gods man.
Christian Science looks upon Jesus a,

Facts That Confront Us.

What facts then confront US when We
recall the days of the early COS? Plain
ly these: Two sections under one gen
eral government had grown apart Each
Interpreted differently from the other
compact called a constitution. which
bound tham together. One said that
compact made us a nation. The other.
that II made Us a confederation. There
vas nothing morally wrong in either
view, in spite Of all that has been said
II the doctrine of States rights In
VOWED moral wrong at least three OF the
early Presidents OF the Republic. Jerer-
son, Madison, and Monroe, We're immoral
men, for they held IT, II the doctrine
OF nationality was wrong, many. gen
orally considered. incorruptible states
men OF the type of Daniel Webster we're
immoral men. Tor they held that view.
The fact is that no moral guilt was in
volved in either view. II was simply
difference of opinion.
IF large number OF pcoplc believed
that ours was one nation. and not sew
eral, then II was their duty 10 uphold
that view. II they believed their opinion
could only De upheld by force Of arms,
and that the necessity justified them. it
