am" said Jesus. This saving Christ
truth. this ''F' of Jesus, was always,
and is now present, in the world, as
much as when Jesus was en- earth.>
He tells us what this healing saving
truth is: for he says, 81 can Of mine
own self do nothing" John 5:30);
"but the Father that dwelleth in me,
he doeth the works" John 14:10).
This truth is, therefore, the healing
presence of the Father; and Jesus
came to reveal this loving, compass
sionate. helpful, healing Father to
us. This ever-present, healing and
saving activity of the Father Is the
Chlist, which always was and Is and
ever will be in the world, even unto
the end. There are no 'times" or
periods" with God, nothing but the
eternal NOW; and His salvation is a
salvation NOW. As Jesus said to
Martha thought the resurrec-
ton of Lazarus was to be a future
event-'I am the resurrection and
the life"-this "T' which was before
Abraham. Jesus came to reveal to
us not the truth about God, but the
truth which is God, which is the Res
direction and the Life. This is the
Christ, or Truth, or God, or Prin-
ciple, or Spirit, that is doing the heal
ing in Christian Science today as He
did of yore Whenever God ceases.
to be a present living activity in the
world, then, but not until then, Chris
tan healing will cease to be a pOssi-
bility in the world. Jesus did great
er healing because he understood
God better and had more faith than
anybody that ever lived in the world.
God is always present everywhere
and His presence Is always
an active, healing and saving pres
ence. Jesus said, "My Father work
eth until now, and | work" Because
God is everywhere Jesus sometimes
healed by absent trea tment, and, fol-
lowing his example, the Christian
Scientists heal by absent treatment;
for God is not absent although the
practitioner may be. One may pray
as effectually for an absent friend as
for present friend.
The charge that Mrs. Eddy claims
to be the Female Principle in Deity
| is absurd on its face, is neither true
nor anything like the truth, and it
/ has no existence anywhere but in
some overheated and wretchedly per-
verted Imagination. The same is true
of the charge that she claims or ever
claimed to be higher than, or the
equal to Jesus. Anybody who will
take the trouble to investigate for
themselves may know, and can not
help but know, the falsity of both
these charges. One quotation from
Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures, page 315, will be suffic-
lent, viz: "The history of Jesus
shows him to have been more spirit
ual than all other earthly PERSONAL
ties" Or, again: "Jesus' spiritual
origin and his demonstration of di-
vine Principle richly. endowed him
and entitled him to sOnship in Sci
ence. He was the son of virgin.
the term Christ Jesus, or Jesus the
Christ Ito give the full and proper
translation of the Creek, may be
rendered Jesus the anointed, Jesus
the God crowned or the divinely royal
man, as it is said of him in the first
chapter of Hebrews:
Therefore God, even thy God, hath
amounted thee.
With the oil of gladness above thy
