9 and lovingly exercising this authority, man is momentarily conscious of the blessing and protection of his creator, abiding with, overshadowing and resting upon all of his activities
 Relationship to God
 In the light of these more consis tent and comforting explanations rendered by Christian Science. we ob- serve man as the beneficiary of all that his Maker is and has provided. Man must ever be what his Maker
 designed that he should be- because God and His universe are unchang- ing. The harmonious and undls-
 turbed relationship 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 man. mag
 nifes, eXaIts, and glorifies the per feet pattern, God. Man seeks to obey and conform to the laws of his being because it is his nature pleas ure, and joy to do so, not because a supreme power demands or even re- quires it of him. Through prayer. or genuine communion with good. man nstinctively and reverently turns in thought to the great heart of God. and receives the answer which his every sincere and righteous desire. whether uttered or unexpressed. mer- it's. No audible petition, no beseecn- ing, no supPlcatirg, no pleading is 1 necessary. but just faith. trust. con fidence, and assurance
 In Science and Health Mrs. Eddy has given very comprehensive re- view of the subject of creation. ip- cluding the two records which We ] have referred to. The second ac- count is designated as the "Jeho- i vistic' record. and the man referred | to therein as having been formed by l the Lord God from the dust of the ground, and into whose nostrils the | breath of life was breathed. was ! called Adam. References in the Scrip | ture to this type or standard of ' man. in majority of instances. in- | dicate the imperfect naturc thereof. and urge that we separate ourselves ! therefrom The prophet Isaiah thus l admonishes us: Cease ye from man. whose breath is in his nostriIs: for
 wherein is he to be accounted of?" In the New Testament and from 1 the lips of Christ Jesus we learn | that the flesh profiteth nothing" ! Paul says. Flesh and blood cannot l inherit the kingdom of God" and | the apostle also says tIat the chn- | dren of God have put off tie old man with his deeds: and have put on the new man. which is renewed | in knowledge after the image of him | that created him."
 MateriaIistic Views or Man
 1 All materialistic views and theories | concerning man give preference to 1 the belief that he is a material be- | ing, and the ultimate of these con l clusions bears close resemblance To ! those incorporated in the Bible his- tory with respect to the Adam tyne
 of man namely, Dust thou art. and ! unto dust shalt thou return
 A review of the analysis of man | as given by material science might | be considered instructive in a way. l but not altogether edifying. More i over it would only serve to show Us
 the utter futility of all attempts to l obtain Knowledge of the true and
 perfect man by a study of the false.
 Suffice it to say, that material inves-
 legations nave eliminated in placin.,

 Irrespective of the strange con. r clusions which materialists have ar. rived at with respect to the oues. uon. What is man? we are assurol | by them that he possesses life. N-biIc
