thus necessarily existing between God
and man, as Father and son, provides
for what might rightly be called true
worship. The true model, or ideal

the perfect pattern, God. Man seeks

In Science and Health Mrs. Eddy
has given a very comprehensive re-
view of the subject of creation, includ-
ing the two records which we have
referred to. The second account is
designated as the "Jehovistic' record,
and the man referred to therein as
having been formed by the Lord God
from dust of the ground. and Into
whose nostrils the breath of life was
breathed. was called Adam Refer
ences In the Scripture to this type or
standard of man, In a majority of in
stances, indicate the imperfect nature
thereof. and urge that we separate
ourselves therefrom. The prophet
Isaiah thus admonishes us: Cease

nostrils; for wherein is he TO, be ac-

In the New Testament and from the
lips Of Christ Jesus we learn that .the
flesh prohteth nothing" Paul says.
Flesh and blood cannot inherit the
kingdom of God" and the apostle also
says that the children OF God have
put on the old man with his deeds:
and have put on the new man. which
is renewed in knowledge after the i'm,
age OF him that created him"
Materiaiistic Views Of Man
All materialistic views and theories
concerning man give preference to the
belief that he is n material being and
the ultimate OF these conclusions bear
close resemblance TO those incorporat-

the Adam type of man, namely. Dust
