ton in this instance indicates mans
unity or oneness with God, whereby
mankind are healed and blessed and
their burdens lightened. Having no
other mind, intelligence. or thought
than the one creative Mind. or God,
whom Jesus called the Father. he was
always thinking Gods thoughts. And
this was his yoke.
Genesis of Material Existence
In the first chapter Of Genesis 1t is
recorded that God created man in his
own image and likeness. and pro-
nounced good all that He made. In
the second chapter it Is recorded that
the Lord God made man from "dust
of the ground" and he became ma
terial organism with soul inside 1t.
No explanation is given, no reason ad-
vanced in the Scripture for the app
pearance of this second creation; but
it cannot in any event be assumed as
a reason therefor that the infinite, all
wise creator, God, was dissatisfied
with His own image and likeness.
Therefore the second creation. the
Adamic priesthood Of matter, or ma
terial sense of God and man, appear
ing as it does without reason, and In
volving the impossible inconsistency,
namely. the attempted organization OF
spirit and matter, which is just as i'm
possible and inconsistent as the or
ganization of light and darkness. Is
without authority, without principle,
without law, hence without reality.
The Christian Scientist does not pro-
pose to waste any time in trying to
find out where something came from
which he knows has no existence in

any time in looking for snakes. He
has found that he is happier. healthier.

he is finding the kingdom of heaven,
in the degree that he wakens out of
his sleep. dream. mist. or material
sense of GOD and man.
1t may be represented that Christ
Jesus appeared in the flesh and that
this is an argument sustaining the
necessity of material sense. But Christ
Jesus himself states upon this very
point, 1t is the spirit that auickeneth,
the flesh profiteth nuthing." In this
connection il might be Well to ask
ones self Just how much or how little
is nothing. Speaking again of his
own true selfhood as the manifesto
ton of Spirit, or God, Christ Jesus
declares, Il am the way, and mo

No man cometh unto the father save
by the yoke of unity or oneness with
God which Jesus inculcated. In the
appearance of Christ Jesus, therefore,
there must be recognized, not an
authority commenting the Adamic
priesthood of matter. or the material
sense of God and man, but the eter-

creative Mind. Is Love. AS the mani

And this. my friends. is the man
that Christian Science declares to you
the man who becomes apparent as the
manifestation of eternal Mind, or God:
the man who forever reflects Gods
unchanging law.
The healing and redemptive works Of
Christian Science afford proof to
thoughtful persons that the results, in

Definition of Law
The term law may be and is vari-
| ously defined, but in its true and
highest meaning law may be said to be
| that which manifests or makes known
the enduring stability of Truth, the
perfect continuity of life, the UNI
| changing unity or oneness of Love: in
other words. that which reflects or
manifests the authority or potency OF
ail-incmsive creative Mind or God.
One may insist. however. at this
point that law should represent the
| substantially of matter.
In the endeavor to arrive at the per-
| manent origin, ultimate form, or primal
state of what is called matter, physical
| science has com eupon numerous dfSap-
pearing hypothesis. TO illustrate: Tn
til not SO very long ago physical science
looked upon the atom as representing
the ultimate form or primal state of
matter. OF comparatively recent date,
however. advanced physicists are quite
In agreement that what is known AS
the eieCtron has superseded and dis
| placed the atom as the ultimate form
of matter. The e,ectron has been de-
scribed as point of force or a swirl
in the ether; it has, of course. never
been seen by the physical senses; in
fact, but very little indeed is known
concerning the passing of what yester-
day was looked upon and accepted by
physical science as the primal state Of
matter.
! In other words. in attempting to ar
rive at the permanent origin. ultimate
form, or primal state Of what is called
material substance, matter Is seen to
disappear. Professor Wilhel::: nst-
