edge and practical demonstration they
had proven that they could live without
eating.
Christian Science, like the Scriptures.
teaches, wisdom is the principal thing
And it certainly would not be wise to
cast ourselves down from the pinnacle of
the temple, or do any other uncalled for,
or unnecessary, thing.
Christian Science sounds the tocsin,
There is no DEATH" And st. Paul writes
in his first letter to the Corinthians.
''The last enemy that shall be destroyed
is DEATH
The Reyelator saw death and hell
"cast into the lake of fire." and in his
most wondrous vision, he saw the tab
ernacle of Cod among men.
| And God should wipe away all tears
from their eyes, and there should be no
more DEATH And whatever is to be, with
God, is done.
Since, therefore, there is to be time
when death shall not be-in fact, there is
no death to-day. What will ever be true
with God is a present accomplished fact;
but this must be understood and demon-
strated before it becomesaa fact to man..
w
true to-day. When we found there were
no fairies, we found there never had been
any.
When we found the sun did not rise,
we found it never had risen When we
found the earth turned upon its axis, we
found it always had turned upon its axis.
Since there is to be time when there
will be no death, then there is no death
today; and, since in Gods presence there
is no DEATH then there is no death any
where; because He is everywhere, and
there is no place where He is not.
Death. therefore, is another error that
Christ, the truth, casts out. For as in
Adam-error- die, even so in Christ,
Truth-shall all be made-found alive.
Il Cor 1922.
Why Lazarus Was Raised
Jesus of Nazareth did not raise Lag
arus from the dead, simply to restore
him to family and friends and a tenn
poral life, again to suffer and die, and
be mourned and lamented but to show
the power OF Truth to overcome error;
to show that Life was the master OF
death; that the Christ could triumph
over every evil, sickness, sin, and
death.
Since, as the Bible declares, sin
brought death into the world, therefore
the overcoming of sin is the overcoming
Of DEATH and as sickness and sin are
overcome by the same Christ power,
therefore TO the extent that sickness or
sin is overcome by Truth, to that extent
Is death overcome.
Therefore, whenever Christian Scien-
lists demonstrate over sickness and sin,
either in themselves or Others, they are
death in measure, and with
he disappearance of sickness and sin
leath will disappear, and be as though
t had not been-as, indeed, it never
vas.
The Divinity of Christ
Christian Science, more than any other
ehgion, teaches the Divinity of Christ.
IN this point allow me to quote from
,ur text book, Science and Health, page
g. line 10.
"The Christ was the Spirit which
esus implied in his own statements:
am the way, the truth and the life:'
and my father are one This Christ,
r divinity of the man Jesus, was his
iyine nature, the goodness which ami
rated him. Divine Truth. Life, and Love
ave Jesus authority over sin, sickness,
nd death. His mission was TO reveal
he Science of celestial being. to prove
hat God is and what He does for man"
The glorious Science of being comes
the name of Christ, with healing on
5 wings-to promulgste the kingdom
established by him, of which there should
no end.
