not heal it. They are finding that
nothing but truth, divine mind, can
overcome evil. or error Of any kind.
Jesus of Nazareth did not use mate
rial means in healing disease; 1t was
the power OF the spirit, with which he
destroyed sickness as well as sin; al
though il is stated, and some are using
it as an argument against Christian
Scientists, that he put clay on the
blind mans eyes when ne healed him.
The Use Of Clay.
One Of the beautiful and wonderful
lessons this demonstration teaches is
that all men (mOrtal) are born blind
and cannot see until the clay of ma
terial sense is washed away by the
cleansing waters Of the spirit Of Christ
and then they viii see, and see clearly.
Christian Scientists are finding more
and more that food does not really
sustain life, that while they are eating
socaued material food, it has no real
DEMONSTRATING properties or qualities
Christian Scientists viii never stop
eating and drinking until they have
demonstrated over it; and that viii
not be until they have demOnstrat ted
over the flesh, and all mortality. But
how long that viii take, or when that
VIII be accomplished, no man know
eth"
1t would be the height Of folly for
anyone to stop eating, until by actual
knowledge and practical demonstra ton
they had proved that they could live
without eating.
Christian Science. like the Scrip
lures, teaches, Wisdom is the prin-
cipal thing And il certainly would
not be wise to cast ourselves down
from the pinnacle of the temple, or do
any other unCalled for, or unnecessary
thing.
There is No Death.
Christian Science sounds the toxin,
There is no death" And St. Paul
writes in his first letter to the CORN
thians, ''The last enemy that shall be
destroyed is death"
The ReveIator saw death and he'll
east into the lake Of fire" and in his
most wOndrOus vision, he saw the
tabernacle of Cod among men.
And God should wipe away all tears
from their eyes. and there should be
no more death. And whatever is to be,
with God, is done.
Since therefore, there is to be a time
when death shall not be-in fact there
is no death today. What viii ever be
true with God is a present accom-
plished fact; but this must be under
stood and demonstrated before it be
comes q fact to man. What viii ever
be found not true is not true today.
When we found there were no fairies,
we found there never had been any.
The Sunrise.
When we found the sun did not rise,
we found it never had risen. When we
found the earth turned upon its axis,
we found it always had turned upon
its axis.
since there is to be a time when
there viii be no death, then there is
no death today; and, since in Gods
presence there is no death then there
IS no death anywhere; because ne is
everywhere, and there is no place
where he is not.
Death, therefore, is another error
that Christ, the truth, casts out. For

why Lazarus Was Raised.
Jesus Of Nazareth did not raise LaZ-
arus from the dead, simply to restore
him to family and friends and a tenn
pOral life, again to suffer and die, and
be mOurned and lamented; but to show
the power Of truth to overcome error:
TO show that life was the master Of
death. that the Christ could triumph
over every evil-sickness, sin, and
Since, as the bible declares. sin
brought death into the world, there
fore the overcoming Of sin is the over
coming Of death. and as sickness and
power, therefore to the extent that
sickness OF sin is overcome by truth,
to that extent is death overcome.
Therefore, whenever Christian Scien-
lists demonstrate over sickness and
sin, either in themselves or others, /
they are overcoming death in a meas
ure, and with the disappearance Of
sickness and sin death will disappear,
and he as though it had not been-as, /
indeed it never was.
THE Divinity Of Christ.
Christian Science, moro than any
other religion, teaches the divinity Of
Christ On this point allow me to
quote from our text book, Science and
Health, page 26, line 10.
The Christ was the spirit which
Jesus implied in his own statements: .
7 am the way, the truth, and the life;'
