 Immaculate Conception.
 Christian Science teaches the i'm maculate conception and birth of Jesus, his progressive steps in over coming all materially. his cruci6xlon, resurrection and final ascension out of matter and beyond material vision He was the expression of Mary's glori- tied spiritual perception that God Is the real father of man and through the humanity derived from Mary he was able to coSnize, rebuke and de- stroy sin and dcath-thus all iudg- ment was committed unto the son. on this basis as the spiritual ideal or Son of God, he came to world asleep in tne dreams of material ori- gin or material evolution, to which inc flat of wisdom had said. Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return To this condition, Dead In trespasses and sins, the divine voice said, ever says, Awake, thou sleeping one, and Christ, the Truth of Being, shall shine on thee" lt was as if he found the world upside down, and he readiusted it right side up. He reversed conditions TO the ralsied hand, resultant from this false sense of being. he said, stretch forth thine hand" "and if was restored whole like as the other To the disease | t,1,,,.H .,srr,ao |, n 3tl |, a- g,,y f,ol 1, o q afflicted you. but satan, the lie, the false sense of being, hath bound thee, or "thy faith hath made the whole" To the maimed, the malt, the blind, the sick. the sorrowing, he spoke the healing words of Truth, in demonstra- ton of the power of Spirit to the glory of God and his law of life. He applied his divine logic of perfect Cause, and perfect effect perfect God and perfect man 10 all error. He knew that the fountain can rise no higher than its source, that from God, the divine father cometh every good and perfect gift as St James de- cares He knew that evil disease or discord could no more emanate from the Infinite and holy one than light can emit darkness, or truth express a Ilio. He held on steadily 10 the di- vine promise of his heinz, "I know whence l came and whither l 30" 'l came forth from the father, i and Rn 10 the father.' He tried to plant his followers on this basic truth 1 and said Gall no man your father i upon the earth; for one is your father which is in heaven" And his prayer for universal man has this same basis l oOur father which art in heaven, We 1 Know that man cannot reacn his per l feet spiritual being on the false basis of material origin or evolution, any moro than discord could express har- mony, or flesh express spirit, with which it is ever at war. On a spirit nal basis only could nis followers be really followers or iritators of him He came to reveal mans infinite pos. abilities. when endued with a true knoWledee of Gods and mans own individual being as a son of God. Hf said. "greater works than these shall he do" That is, wnen the leaven Of this truth has permeated the uinver, sal thought of mans relation to God in the splendor of the true sonship i' revealed. and that God of Israel, wn( forgiveth our sin and healeth our dis eases, is understood, accepted an( adored. then shall Gods reign of love and righteousness be established, ant Gods will bo done on earth as 1t is ii ! heaven
 Reign of Righteousness.
