Christ Jesus radiated light, because
he had spiritual consciousness He
thought Gods thoughts. These
thoughts these messages, these an
gels OF His presence, came to him
clothed with omniscience and omnip-
otence; and because Christ Jesus en-
tertained them, he was endued with
power which enabled him to de-
stroy pain. sin, death and the grave.
So profoundly Impressed were men
by his wonderful teachings and un-
paralleled victory over the physical
senses, that they have dated the
calendar from his nativity. His ca
reer thus stands out in history as
beacon light, immeasurably tran
scending, all other human events.
Mrs. Eddy, the discoverer and
Founder of Christian Science, like
wise, more than eighteen centuries
later, saw this same perfect pattern,
this model which enabled her to
heal the sick and SHINING and en-
abled her to inspire unnumbered
multitudes to forsake human opin-
ions, dogmas, traditions, and drugs.
in order to follow the light of dem
onstrable truth. Now it might
properly be asked, how do we know
that Mrs Eddy say this same model
of God and man that the great Bible
characters saw? In answer to that
query let us suppose that some five
thousand years ago a great writer
and thinker climbed lofty noun
tain, "a mountain
Though round its base the
rolling clouds are spread,
Eternal sunshine settles on its
head"
and this writer wrote an account OF
his experiences in climbing that
and pictured the marve-
lous panorama that unfolded to his
enraptured vision as he toiled his
way to loftier heights. And as time
went on, other writer's and thinkers
made the same journey and recorded
their experiences for the guidances
of future generations who would
make the same ascent. Now IS
it not reasonable that their
experiences would be similar and
that they would see the same pan
Drama and that their records of the
ascent would corroborate each
other? SO likewise have been the ex-
periences of all who have climbed
the mountain of holiness, and risen
above the cloud of materialism that
has darkened the vision of all peo-
pies. Mrs. Eddy climbed this same
f,t, ne ha n T.
ual thinkers have climbed through
out the centuries She saw the same
vision Her writings coincide with
the spiritual sense of the Scriptures;
they give the same spiritual illumi-
nation as do the Bible texts when
spiritually understood; and her fol
lowers are healing the sick and
freeing the SHINING as did the dis
ciples of old when they finally
understood the spiritual import OF
the words and works of the blessed
Master
And Christian Scientists today see
and pattern their lives after this
san,e perfect model, and as result
they are happy, healthiul and
spiritually minded. Genuine Chris
tian Scientists pray continually that
they keep in thought this perfect
model. They pray that they may
continually see God as Spirit, and
man as the perfect spiritual image
of God. They strive to be governed
~ the qualities of love, perfection,
and holiness. which emanate from
the divine consciousness. and they
are alert to destroy in their own
thought the hate or fear which
would iniure or depress their neigh
bor They pray that they may have
spiritual power to overcome sin and
sickness. They know that every
thought, every motive, every state
ment. every deed, is cast into the
scale of truth or of error, and they
strive daily and hourly that their
thoughts, their words, their deeds
their lives may weigh in the balance
with health, peace and divine har
mony. They strive to follow the
words of the Psalmist Let the
words of my mouth, and the medita
ton of my heart, be acceptable L
thy sight, o Lord my strength, and
my redeemer."
