Rotterdam in his version OF the Ne,
Testament renders the last clause of thi
text, "for lie he is, and the father o
it,"
Christian Science is the same straigll
and narrow way to-day as when th
Master taught it, nineteen hundred year
ago, on the shores OF Galilee. 1t is a
radical as the science OF numbers, All,
one can no more deviate from its prn
ciples and rules, and still call that de
Walton Christian Science, than he coult
deviate from the principles and rules o
mathematics, and still call the process
mathematical.
II stands prominently alone; Their,
is no other religion, theory, creed or doc
trine that is anything like it, and there
never will be; for it is absolute anc

1t is based upon the principle of un
changing Truth, undying Life, and un'
selfish Love, which triune Principle i;
God, that is, "the same yesterday, and
to-day, and for ever"
Christian Science teaches, "All is Mind
there is no matter"
The Scriptures declare. Heaven and
earth shall pass away, but my words
shall not pass away" What does this
teach, but that all matter and material
ity shall pass away, but the divine Mind
and His idea shall remain forever.
Furthermore, what else does it teach,
but that all that God has not made shall
be swept away as nothingness; for moth
ing that He has made can ever be de-
stroyed; for all He made was good.
Christian Science does not teach that
matter is a reality that will some day be
destroyed, for if matter were one of the
factors of being it could never be cast
out, but would remain fixed forever.
1t is not that the material universe was
created to continue for a time until it
had served its purpose, then to be burned
up and DESTROYED; but that it has no ex-
istenee save in the mistaken belief of
mortals, and is eliminated by the knowl.
edge of Truth in Christian Science.
Some day men everywhere will know
that matter does not exist, and then they
will know it never did exist, and that
day is now.
The students of this truth are finding
more and more, that matter, so called has
no power to heal disease; that matter is
inert that drugs have no intelligence TO
direct themselves; that material medicine,
so called, cannot diagnose case and
therefore cannot heal it. They are find
ing that nothing but Truth, divine Mind,
can overcome evil, or error of any kind.
Jesus of Nazareth did not use material
means in healing disease; it was the
power of the spirit, with which he de- !
stroyed sickness as well as sin: although |
i is stated, and some are using it as an
against Christian Scientists,
hat he put clay on the blind mans
yes when he healed him.
One of the beautiful and wonderful |
essons this demonstration teaches is that
Ill men (mortaD are born blind and can
lot see until the clay of material sense is
washed away by the cleansing waters of
he Spirit of Christ, and then they viii
ee, and see clearly.
Christian Scientists are finding more
nd more that food does not really sus-
ain life, that while they are eating So
allied material food, it has no real life
properties or qualities.
Christian Scientists will never stop
ating and drinking until they have dem
over it and that will not be
ntil they have demonstrated over the
esh, and all mortality. But how long
hat will take, or when that will be
