and Elijah had done. He thus prov.
ed the omnipotence of Spirit and its
availability to meet the last and final
human need. He proved that God IL
Life, and that man 10 now immortal
and can never die, and thataeve the
belief in death. that exists nowhere
except in the carnal mind, can be de-
/ stroyed by the truth which he taught.
Man 10 Now the Son Of God.
Do you think it is arrogating too
much for US to claim that we are now
the children OF God? II so. then read
what st. John says in John ni. 2,
Beloved, now are we the sons Of
God, and IL doth not yet appear what
we shall be: but We know that when
He shall appear, and we shall be like
Him; for we shall see him as Hesks."
In making this statement it was as
though John had said. Jesus has
now taught me the truth about my
self. ! now know that we ara
spiritual and not material. ] can
not tell you what my spiritual self
looks like. for cannot see the
spiritual man through material eyes,
but / know that when he shall APP
pear we shall be like him."
st. Paul has said substantially the
same thing In Romans viii, Is and
IL, where we read, We are the chill
dren Of God: and * children then
heirs; heirs OF God and joint heirs
with Christ"
Every one knows that when an
estate is left to heirs jointly they
take IL share and share alike. If we
are joint heirs with Christ we have
inherited the same spiritual being,
the same Life, the same immortality.
1t is through the understanding and
apprehension of our real being that
we rise above the fears and material
beliefs OF the carnal mind. In this
way Christian Science heals the sick,
regenerates the sinner, destroys fear
and brings peace in place OF dis
cord.
Jesus said. Come unto me all we
that labor and are heavy laden, and
/ win give you rest" and Christian
Science Is teaching the human race
that the true way to come unto him
is to live the life that He lived, 70
manifest the love that He manifest
ed, and TO demonstrate the Truth
that He taught. In this way Il has
helped many people to find rest, and
peace, and health.
