, ed or set aside. No mater how erro
neous our opinion OF the laws 0
mathematics may be, its laws remali
ever the same, unchanged thruou
all time. II not one person on tn
face OF the earth ever knew one sin
gle. simple law of mathematics, tina
J would in no wise alter its laws o
} the fact that its laws exist and al
ways have existed unchanged In thel
perfection. And so we find that th'
law OF God always has existed, unal
tered. eternal and perfect, but that
except in few instances, this Law
has been hidden from mankind thru
out the ages.
To emphasize the fact that hli
works we're in exempliflcation OF the
Truth he taught-were evidences ol
an understanding based on demon
strable law OF God, Jesus did not re
sort to argument-to finely chosen
speech delivered to his followers with
ostentatious Journalism, but rather
in answer to the question put to him
by the emissarles sent from John the
Baptist, thou he that should
come? Or look we for another?"
Jesus replied simply. go your way
and tell John what things ye have
seen and heard; how that the blind
see, the lame walk, the lepers are
cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are
raised, to the poor the gospel Is
preached" The recital Of his works
was, to his sense, sufficient proof
that his teachings were divinely or
dained and in strict explanation OF
Gods law. The works OF Jesus prov
ed that they we're predicated on a
premise wholly right and that no ele-
ment of error was present. He must
have been working from a perfect
understanding OF Gods immutable
law.
Universally OF Gods Law
The object of all Christian endeav-
or should be to prove the Masters 8
teachings to be true by doing the
works that he did. The healing works
OF Jesus were not given us merely to
show what he could do. Christian
Science proves that these works we're
given to the world by Jesus in DEM
onstration OF a divine, ever-present,
demonstrable law, that humanity,
thru his example, might know and
understand this law and be able to
intelligently apply this knowledge.
This law OF God must, from the very
nature of God and his relation to man
and the universe, he universally and
eternally applicable. 1t must be at
the command and for the benefit Of
all OF Gods children thruout all Of
Gods creation. Thus We find that
the law employed by Jesus In his
mighty works Is the same law that
enabled the Israelltes to pass on dry
land thru the Red Sea, that restored
her son whole to the Schunanmite
mother, that delivered the three He
brew young men from the fiery fur
mace, that enabled Daniel to dwell
unharmed in the den of lions, and
the same law whereby the apostles
and the early Christians for some GEN.
turies after the time of Jesus obeyed
the Masters commands by doing his
works. And this Is the same law
thru which Christian Science Is to-
day bringing to humanity the world
over relief from its sufferings and
Jesus, Demonstration of Gods Law
That the teachings and practice of
Jesus were predicated on hypothe-
lis wholly spiritual to the complete
exclusion of matter and its so-called
avs. Jesus own words and works
cave no doubt The entire purpose

ate mankind away from the belief
II a material universe as real and
nto the understanding of man and
he universe governed by the law OF
od, Spirit. and not subject to chance,
hange and the mutations of time.
There is no known physical law or
O-called law of matter that Jesus
i'd not completely annul and over
brow thru his intelligent application
