so man and all the universe are CO., existent with the divine Principle of
 being, God, the perfect Mind, Love, and Principle, which govern man and the universe, have never been absent for moment, but mortal man has eX-
 cluded Him from lis realization by
 dwelling in the mists of matcriality and evil. If one stands in the bright sunlight
 with twenty veils over his eyes, the
 light will seem to be darkness, but as these vels are removed the light
 becomes clearer. Mortal man has had
 more than twenty veils over his men,
 tai eyes, and they have excluded the
 divine light. These veils consisted of
 belief in idolatry, bigotry, sorcery, slavery, witchcraft, superstition, hate,
 war, fear, laws of disease and the like. One by one these veils are falling
 away, and as they go from us the light of true being becomes clearer When all the darkening veils shall have been taken away mans immor- tai being will be realized. This will bring the kingdom of heaven. St. Paul writes, in his first epistle to the Corinthians:
 For this corruptible must put on interruption, and this mortal must
 put on immortality.
 "So when this corruptible shall have put on interruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality then shall b. brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up In victory"
 Man must separate wrong from right thinking, even as one separates dross from gold, tares from wheat, l impurities from water. This process leaves the pure, the good, the true, the eternal.
 THE MISSION OF CHRIST JESUS Only one man has lived upon this earth who can be referred to as perfect or ideal thinker-the man Christ Jesus! He understood and demonst ated the omnipotence, omni- l science, and omnipresence of God and permitted no compromise of this all inclusive truth to enter his conscious ness. God was all-in-al to him. He instructed others to accept God in the same, spirit, especially those who
 were blinded with ceremonial, ritual istic and material worship, but his ! teaching, works and mission were greatly misunderstood and remain so,
 in a large degree, even to this day. /; Many honest Christian people be- lievc Jesus to be God, and address
 much of their prayer and worship to
 him. Others disbelieve him entirely,
 and use every possible argument to
 the narratives relating to him. Chris @.,xo Cn,o o%c fboco xr,slolx, diff

 Christianity was misunderstood by
 both Jews and Gentiles, because they i misapprehcnded the nativity and ob-
 ject of it's Founder.
 The Jews, who had their own ideas
 as to what Messiah should be, re-
 fused to believe that the wisdom and power of God, whom they declared
 omnipotent, ard creator of all, could
 create anything contrary to their own 1 belief of human conception. 1 The Gentiles, misconstruing the sayings of Jesus, hailed him as Savi-
 our and king, but failed to recognize
 him as the Wayshower, and the ex- cmplar of Gods perfect man, whose
 works and ways they would have to
 emulate.
 Christian Science declares that 1 Christ Jesus represented the divine l origin of man, rendering evidence, within the grasp of human compre- hension, that God is the only creator.
 Jesus was different from all other
 men in that the divine nature pre- dominated in him, while in all other
 men the human seems to predomin- ate.
 Jesus was Mary's highest human
 conception of the divine man. Christ
 was the spiritual and eternal nature imparted of God. Mary's human con
 cept, or Jesus, passed away in the
 ascension; but the Christ, the divine 1 ly created man, who lived before Ab- ! raham was, continues to live, for ever
 All men are truly born of God, and when their spiritual comprehension
 grasps and understands this fact, the ! mortal and material will disappear,
 and every man will partake of the nature of Christ. In verification of
 this quote from the First Epistle of
 John, third chapter:
 1 Beloved, now are we the sons of
 God, and it doth not yet appear what
 we shall be: but we know that, when
 he shall appear" (when mans real
 being is recognized) live shall be
 like him; for we shall see him as he is.'
 Thus Christian is not one who
 merely believes in Jesus, but one who, l like Christ, recognizes within himself.
