accomplished as to make it possible
for every one to prove it for himself
and thereby to heal himself and 9th
ers. Christian Science is applied
Christianity just as truly as engineer
ing is applied mathematics. Thee
is no mytery about it, and when one
does his work correctly, according
to it's rule. healing and regeneration
must follow.
In the Bible Uohn xS:l7) we read
that Jesus said to Mary, go to my
brethren, and say unto them, | as
er; and to my God and you God
Also in l John. iii;2, Beloved, now
it doth lot yet appear what we shall
be: but we know that, when he shall
appear, we shall be like him; for we
| shall see him as he is" St. Paul also
wrote (Romans S;l6,l7), The spirit
itself beareth witness with our
spirit, that we are the children oil
God; and if children then heirs; heirs
lof God and joint heirs with Christ
Christian Science demonstrates
the truth of these inspired state
ments. 1t makes available as a pres
ent right and possibility mans in
| heritance as the son and heir of Co
by showing that the real man created
by God is spiritual and not material
that his life, continuity, intelligence
and harmony are in spirit and not Ii
matter: that all OF his qualities anc
attributes are derived from Spirit, ans
that every function of the real mar
is governed by the divine Mind. Man
therefore, expresses the divine nature
and hence he is the image of God
and as such is perfect and immortal
The material man is not the likeness
OF God, for matter cannot be the
image OF Spirit. He is the false con,
cept of man, and the sin, disease anC
death involved IN this false concept
will disappear as false mortal beliefs
are dissolved by truth. The material
belief must give place to the spirit
ual fact in every case.
Out of the amplitude of her own
spiritual understanding Mrs. Eddy
has translated into human language
the truth about God and man, and
their relationship; has revealed a per-
feet divine Principle that governs
mankind. and has proved that the
truth taught by Jesus is scientific, and
may be demonstrated today as Of old
to deliver the SHINING, sorrowing and
suffering from their oppressors. to
set all mankind free from bondage to
evil, and to establish the kingdom OF
| God on earth.
