In speaking to his disciples he said ."CaU no man your father upon the earth. for one k your Father, whiCi k in heaven" In other words, there .~ only one creator or cause, and the , universe including man is its product the product of EIoi, the one and only power.
 Again. speaking to the woman al 'h, we'll. Jesus said. God is Spirit. l (which would certainly mean that his Ipowor, the only power he ever used Ithr true cause of all. and consequent. lily the cause of only that which is true, Was Spirit or Mind, not matter Iof any kind or physique. And look .i ing al the teachings of Jesus, looking lat his words and at the works
 words and works due to, impelled by, |rmanating from this Eloi or power Spirit. Mind, or intelligence, are We not bound to conclude that this pow Ter. Spirit Mind. was infinite Love, and that this divine Love was the yrry life of Jesus which nothing could destroy and which was able to raise him up at the last day? This one power then, this one Spirit, Soul. or Mind. this one existence or Life, rhi~ on, reality or Truth. this one in finite Love. this divine Principle, was |aIl that constituted the Saviour who I~ he ~dme yesterday today, and for eyer, "Wi1r whom iS no VariableneSS, neither shadow of Durnng,' who is with Us always This is just what Christian Science defines God to be, as will be seen from the following passage. "GOd is inCOrpOreal, divine, supreme. infinite Mind. Spirit Soul, Principle Life, Truth, Love" Science and Health, ?. 465).
 MAN
 Not only did Jesus Illustrate, not only does Christian Science teach what God is, but in doing this Jesus illustrated and Christian Science teaches what man is
 Doe, not the father want the son 10 be like himself, and does not son want to be like his father? So true is lIi, that right in the beginning we read that "GOd created man in his own image, male and female 1 created he thcm.' In other words, ] IIr created them just like Himself. Now, how do We know what a man l iS liko2 Do We not know il by what he expresses? Was it not the mani feolHtiOn. the expression of the pow er, the Mind, the Spirit, the Life, the 1 Truth, and the Love, which are al ! together good, God, that made Jesus ] lue best prepared, the safest, the most efficient, the most able or powerful, the most gOdlike man that l eyer lived? Did il not make him so godlike that all Christendom has call ed him God, worshiped him as God? l IL has done this, too, notwithstanding ! The fact that Jesus rebuked the man l for calling him, not God, but merely good, saving "There is none good but one that is. God" He did this be cause he recognized, as no one else i ever has, that even all that he mani . tested of God did not begin to ex- press, but only indicated the infinite good that is God. This is shown by l the fact that he expected not only ! the emulation of his example by his i followers, but more, ,-"He that be | lieVelh on me, the works that l do l shall he do also; and greater works 1 than these shall he do; because l go unto my FatheT;' because l illustrate the way, and show, as he again said, i that "the Son can do nothing of him self, but what he seeth the Father do. for what things SOever he doeth, these also dOeth the Son likewise
 THIS TEACHING SCIENTIFIC That this knowledge of God and of man, the knowledge that was taught, illustrated, and demonstrated by Jesus the Christ, is Christian all will concede. But, il may be asked, is 1t 1 scientific?
 This question can be answered, must be answered in one way alone,
 that of demonstration or proof. It was so answered when Jesus did his marvellous works, it was so answered when his disciples or students repeat | ed these works; il was so answered | when for over two centuries after them their followers, the early Chris tianS, did these works, It is in this , way that for the past fifty years 1t . has been answered and is now being answered. It was so answered when Mrs. Eddy, through the spiritual illu- limitation to her of Bible text ! through the coming to her of the right idea, the true meaning of this IteXt, healed; it was so an swered when she, through this true sense of the nature, the presence, and the power of God, healed others, and taught them to do likewise. It | NOS SO dlISN tltu " lltlI lltl StuItIllS through the presentation of her teach, ingS,- given to them in the Christian Science text book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures - reformed, healed, made the abun- dance of good manifest for others, and in turn taught them to do like l wise It was so answered when this reformed, healed, regenerated, saved multitude established churches and societies of Christ, Scientist, in every part of the habitable globe until it is safe to say that there is no one Ihere who does not know of some one whose life, health, mode of thought, increased usefulness, and freedom from want and woe do not bear wit ness to this. It has been so answer ed, and is being so answered here by the fact that this lecture is given Ito make these facts known; for were | il not that some few or many in this community were so benefited, this | lecture would not, could not be given, for there would be no one here who would cause it to be given. There | is, therefore, abundant proof that this 1 Christianity is Science, demonstrable and demonstrated knowledge. Neith- CT do thinking people deny this over whelming proof. But the question still remains, How is this accomplish ed?
