Religious Notice.

Jesus the Christ, endured the
death of the false material senses,
or the physical crucifixion in,
flicted by the carnally minded,
who placed him in a tomb and
sealed the tomb with a stone,
vainly attempting to destroy
him. History records his dem
onslration of his teaching. He
rolled back the stone and walked
forth, triumphant over the So
called canal mind, and won a
sublime victory over the illusion
called death.
AS I have stated, our Leader
rose beyond the mental ability
Of any Of her students to visualize
her, and in that hour those who
retained a material sense of her,
carried out the ceremony of the
materislists and buried their ma
terial concept of the Leader in a
grave. At that time, I was in
terv;ewed in regard to this ex-
perience in the history of Chris
tian Scientists, and if you will
consult one of my books, Remi-
niscences, Sermons and Corre-
spondence, beginning at page
1914, you will there ind my re-
pies to the questions OF an
interviewer.
He inquired, What are Mrs.
Eddy's views in regard to death?"
My answer was, "She instructs
her followers to overcome the be-
lief of life in matter, with it's sin,
sickness, and death, by gaining
the Mind of Christ. In her text
book, Science and Health ,oith
Key to the Scriptures, and in her
other writings, she continues to
teach that there is no death" /"
that ''all Is Mind" there is no
matter" She declares that there
is no substance, nor intelligence
in mortal thought, so-called, nor
in its manifestation, mortal man
and the material universe. In
Unity Of Good, page, 50, she
AYERS:
It is unchristian to believe in
the transition called materid! death,
since matter has no life.
Therefore Christian Scientists
must not continue to commem-
crate mateli ial bilth and death;
and if they strive to emulate the
life of Christ and are loyal tc the
teachings of our levered Leader,
Mary Baker Eddy, divine Love
will enlighten them, as they
emerge from a material sense of
God, man, and the universe, to
the spiritual apprehension Of
eternal Life and Love, the source
and supply OF their being. Mrs.
Eddy says:
BY loyalty in students I mean
| this,-allegiance to God, subordi-
nation of the human to the divine,
steadfast justice, and strict ad-
herence to divine Truth and
Love. (Retrospection and Intro
spcction, p. 50.)
All Christians, weary Of the
fruitlessness of the search fof
eternal Life and unity with our
Father-Mother God, are look
ing, longing, and praying for a
cessation, through Christ, Truth,
of the ills to which flesh is heir
and for the passing away of the
former things (thoughts)
which produced sickness and
death. The divine metaphy-
sician, or true Christian Scien-
tist, comprehends (though spirit
dal sense) the words 0: Mrs.
Eddy:
The foam and fury Of illee;timate
living and of fearful and 6cletul
dying should disappear on the
| shore Of time; then the waves OF
sin. sorrow, and death beat in vain.
iScsence and Health, p. 203.)
Genuine Christian Scientists
do not commemorate "illeg iti-
mate living AND fearful
and dc!eful dying," and through
their faithful adherence to
Truth, the phenomena Of the
| carnal mind are fast disappear
ins ::son the shore of time"
Christian Scientists will not con-
tinue. to regard, as real, the
embodiment Of sin, the fleshly
