A LECTURE ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

that he had died in matter. Jesus looked through the mask and saw the real man who was alive all of the time, and by seeing the real man. Jesus destroyed the false concept and thus made it possible for the real condition of Life to appear, Having seen the real man, who was alive every instant. all that Jesus needed to do was to say. ~La1aruS, come forth" and he came forth. alive.
 Man Is Now Immortal
 The belief that man Is now material, but that his immortality will appear after the death of his physical body, is rapidly giving place to a better un- derstsnding. IL is beginning to be- come tolerably clear to many people that death is not the doorway through which human beings pass from a ma terial state of existence into the king dom of heaven.
 St. Paul taught and declared that death is an enemy that can and will be destroyed. Enoch got rid of his physical body without dying. Elijah did the same. Obviously they de- stroyed and got rid of every material and erroneous mental quality. This evangelization went on until there was nothing left in their conscious ness but the Spiriualized thought. They brought every material thought into obedience to Christ, and when the last mortal thought had thus been con Quered and destroyed there was noth- ing of the carnal mind left in their consciousness to throw a material con cept over them. People were then no longer able to see them as material men. They literally walked with God, as the Bible states, for material be- liefs of the carnal mind no longer in- tervened to separate them from Him.
 Jesus submitted to the crueifixion of his body on the cross in order that he might be the Wayshower. He had all ready raised from the dead, Lazarus, and the daughter of Jairus. and the son of the widow of Main, but he wanted to so further and prove for the benefit of mankind that death is not a divine necessity and that it is possible for one to conquer it for him. self through his own understanding of the law of Life. He wanted to prove that man is now immortal and that his immortality is brought to light not by the death of the physical body, but by demonstrating the power of Spirit He, therefore, resuscitated his own body, after it had been in the tomb until tn third day. He brought 1t back and exhibited it to hundreds of people, so that there might not be any question of dispute about it. Thereafter he got rid of his body pre- cilesly as Enoch and Elijah had done. He thus proved the omnipotence of Spirit and its availability to meet the last and final human need. He prov ei that God is Life, and that man is now immortal and can never die, and that even the belief in death, that ex- ists nowhere except in the carnal mind. can be destroyed by the truth which he taught.
 Man Is 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? If so. then read what St. John says in John S:s, Be loved, now are we the sons of God, and 1t doth not yet appear what we shall be; but We know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him. for we shall see him as he is"
 In making this statement it was as tAOOSn SOA1 uaN SdkUs SSSuS u6S now taught me the truth about myself. now know that We are spiritual and not material. I cannot tell you what my spiritual self looks like, for can not see the spiritual man through material eyes, but l know that when he shall appear we shall be like him."
 St. Paul has said substantially the same thing in Romans Ss16. r, where We read, We are the children of God: and if children. then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ"
 Every one knows that when an es- tate is left to heirs, jointly, they take 1t share and share alike. If we are Joint heirs with Christ. we have in. herited the same spiritual being, the same Life, the same immortality. It is through the understanding and, ap. prehenSion of our real being that we rise above the fears and material be- liefS of the carnal mind. In this way Christian Science heals the sick. re- generates the sinner. destroys fear. and brings peace in place of discord.
 Jesus said. Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden. and l will 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, to mani. fest the Love that he manifested, ana to demonstrate the Truth that he taught, In this way it has helped many people to find rest. and peace. and health
