here now and always, continually
knocking at the door of every human
consciousness, seeking to comfort
those who are in distress, to supply
the needs of those who are in want
to heal those who are sick, to lift
the burdens from those who are hea-
Wy laden, and thus to perform the of
flee of mediator by bringing mankind
into relationship with God. This Evan
gel is the Christ, the eternal, ever
present Comforter.
John said, "In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. The same
was in the beginning with God" John
i. /, p The Word is the eternal
Christ Truth, and not a material per-
sonality.
All who believe that flesh and blood
are divine, should read what the Bible
says, Nov this I say, brethren, flesh
and blood cannot inherit the kingdom
of God" Il. Cor. XIV 500
Man is Now Immortal
The belief that man is now material,
but that his immortality will appear
after the death of his physical body, is
rapidly giving place to a better I'M
~derstanding. 1t is beginning to be-
come ~tolerably clear to many people
that death is not the doorway through
which human beings pass from a ma
terial state of existence into the king
dom of Heaven.
st. Paul taught and declared that
death is an enemy that can and will be
destroyed. EnOch got rid of his phys
ical body without dying. Elijah did
the same. Obviously they destroyed
and got rid of every material and err
rOneOus mental quality. This evangel-
went on until there was moth
ing left in their consciousness but the
sp~iritualized thought. They brought
every material thought into obedience
to Christ, and when the last mortal
had thus been conquered and
destroyed there was nothing of the
mind left in their conscious
hess to throw a material concept over
People were then no longer
able to see them as material men.
They literally walked with God, as the
Bible states, for material beliefs OF
he earth mind no longer interviewed
o separate them from Him.
Man is Now the Son of God
Do you think it is arrogating too
much for us to claim that we are now
he children of God? If so, then read
st. John says in /. John iii. 2,
Beloved, now are we the sons of God,
nd it o not yet appear what we
hall be; but we know that, when he
hall appear, we shall be like him; for
7e shall see him as he is" :
In making this statement it was as :
hough John had said, Jesus has now
aught me the truth about myself. |
ow know that we are spiritual and
OF material. l cannot tell you what :
ly spiritual self looks like, for
annot see the spiritual man through :
eyes, but l know that when L
G shall appear We shall be like him."
st. Paul has said substantially the
ame thing in Romans viii. 16 and II, !,
here we read, 1--WE are the children "
God: and if children, then heirs:
eirs of good, and joint heirs with :
Every one knows that when an es- :
tie is left to heirs, jointly, they take r
share and share alike. If we are
int heirs with Christ, we have in
the same spiritual being, the
LIZ illO, LnC odlut l"iuluOIdIlIY. Ill Is
rough the understanding and ap- =
'ehension of u real being that we F
above the facts and material be-
Ifs of the carnal mind. In this way
Science heals the sick, re-
'nerates the sinner, destroys fear
ID brings peace in place of discord. ~
Jesus said, Come unto me all We
labor and are heavy laden, and Il
IL give 0 rest" and Christian Sci =
is teaching the human race that
e 7 way to come unto him is to
the life that he lived, to mani =
st the love that he manifested, and Fl
demonstrate the truth that he
light. In this way it has helped
people to find rest, and peace,
d health. n =
