sion of the earnal and enjoy that felic'
 ity of soul life endowded, intended and desired, by the great universal Father we must cease looking for father In the skies, for the kingdom of heaven is within us. the hell of our lives is self created; the grand object should be the pursuit of goodness and not the conquest of evil, let evil alone and adopt the good only,
 The resurrection shows that death is not cosmic law, there is no death when the mortal puts on immortality of real ization, for it will be swallowed up in the absolute comprehension of life eternal. Man made laws deprive and destroy the soul, goodness, kindness, love, patience and honesty are the gos- pei laws, all else is adverse to gods great plan of salvation, if you make your bed in hell the lord is there. The individual conscience is the judgment seat of right and wrong. Man is ac- ountable only to himself, is his own judge and jailor, and he cannot get away from himself, he must be resur- rected in the Christ type and incarnat- ed in the God principles of peace and perfection and practice the golden rule. "He that overcometh shall inherit all things" There is no salvation in a big bank account, money has no value only as you can use it. It is Gods good pleasure to give you the kingdom. !" We are simply guests on this planet and not commercial slaves as we make ourselves, we are simply the recipients of the very best this universe affords and our inheritance fadeth not away.
 Let us think and act along spiritual lines, for any concession to flesh is neg ative to spirit. The corporal man Je- sus was not the Saviour of the world. Christ is the divine principle and that only saves, if it were otherwise then it was not expedient that he should go away; Jesus was the oracle of that prin- ciple. God is not a particular being but the divine standard of all beings, and this is what the man of Galilee meant when he said "I and my Father are one." Jesus achieved the divinity and we must do likewise, for the flesh profits nothing. Everything in nature is either mind or ma tier and man only is endowed with mind; when the body is bereft of mind it can have no pain, therefore it is the mind only that knows pain, keep the mind healthy and the body will take care of itself, right and healthy thoughts will produce right and healthy results. The life and death struggle for money has usurped every vestige of moral obligations and fostered evil of the most hideous na- ture to enter our business circles to that extent that man has no longer any confidence in man. The happy are those who are at peace with all the world in whose minds there turks no animosity or jealously, whose home life is ideal, whose business is not his master, whose passions have not cap- tivated his manhood. and who witness es in all humanity equal heirs with himself to the bounties of nature. l call that man slave who only leaves a large bank account, for he will soon pass to that domain where money val ue will cease to exist and love will be- come the only legal tender. God will always be remote hypothetical deity until we individualize him in ourselves, and when we do that we have overcome the world. the flesh and the devil. Je- sus did not believe that man was a nor tai or human creature. for he said "my kingdom is not of this world. With the embodiment of God in the Gallilean the Adamic hypothesis ceased, he said Eye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free" Nature has never revealed any creature greater than man. Man possesses all the attributes and prerogatives that Jesus did, and Jesus said that all things which the Father hath are mine -[B. J. Sturges.
