of H. The Bible needs study. II has
lessons for every one of MS. and not
one but that may be comprehendod
by every one II they will study their
Bible inteligently. and from the
standpoint from which Jesus looked
al things and SO see that that which
He and His disciples and His follow
ers for 300 years accomplished. was
not a special dispensation, but was
the accomplishment and manifestation
of knowing the Truth. So our Chris
ton Science text book is simply the
book that we use to aid US I'm the
study of our Bible. The Bible itself
says that the letter killeth. but the
spirit giveth life" We have been hav-
ing the letter of our Bible for count
less ages. and We have continued 20
prove that what We have gained has
been its letter. because we have con-
tinued TO diel And our Master said,
"Tf a man keep my saying. he shall
never taste death" I know the the
illogical teaching is that what is
meant is spiritual death. but II one
will read the Bible and see what (
refer to. they will see what He meapt.
There is no such thing as spiritual
death and never was God is Spirit
God is eternal Life, and I'm him there
is no death. but Life everlasting. Our
Master was very explicit on that
point. The question comes. contom-
plating those he raised from the dead.
Why did they not continue To- exist
here If He overcame death for them
The question answers itself We have

suit Of His demonstrated knowledge
that Life Is deathless. When this
same question came again to those Ho
had raised they had the problem 20
solve themselves and were not able
TO do so at that time. This should
show us beyond question that each
one must work out his own Salvation
some day and that Jesus is literally
the "Way shower"
Our Master was tempted like as you

that you and have to meet. He had
