shall be satisfied, when I
awake, with Thy likeness.
Psalms xvii, 49,
The contez.tion for immor-
tally between the students of
Mrs. Eddy, who have been
BUILDING on a spiritual founda-
ton, and those students who
continue to adhere to and obey
the material senses, is apparent.
They have written their prob
.em upon the worlds black
board, while progress, the law
of the Infinite, has enabled
thousands to keep abreast with
Truth s.nd distinguish the gen.
uine CHI istian Scientist from
the materialist, who continues
to perpetuate the dream Of life
in matter. Humanity is awak-
ing to condemn this, as the
reversal of the teaching of Christ
Jesus and Mary Baker Eddy.
The true Christian Scientists
a.e striving to spiritualize
thought, that they may visualize
their great Leader and Teacher,
when she reappears, as did Jesus,
in confirmation of her accept
ance and PRONUNCIATION of the
teaching of the Gslilean prophet,
viz, that man is an emanation
of God, eternal Life and Love,
and is therefore immortal, re-
flecting his creator, infinite
Mind, or Spirit. Let me quote
Mrs. Eddy's words:
The continual contemplation Of
existence as material and cor
poreal-as beginning and ending
and with birth, decay, and Gissolu-
ton as its component stages
hides the true and spiritual Life,
and causes our standard to trail in
the dust.
(Science and Health, p. 550)
Birth and death belong to the
Adam-Eve generation, which
conceives in sin and brings forth
sorrow and death. Paul says:
To be carnally minded is death;
but to be spiritually minded is life
and peace. (Romdns viii, g.
Mrs. Eddy bids her students:
b Abide in Truth, in fellowship
with and obedience to The Mother
Church, and in this way God will
bless and prosper you. This l
know, for He has proved it to me
for forty years in succession.
miscellany, p. 360)
Mrs. Eddy defines Church"
as "The structure of Truth and
Love-" not a material organiza-
ton, but a state of spiritual con-
sciousness. Christian Scientists
understand this TO mean, abide
in spiritual, conscious oneness
with God and His Christ.
I note to-day in the colu mns
of THE New YORK HERALD
these headlines:
TO HONOR 1884 DEAD
IN HOR.OKEN SERVICE
Alas for poor humanity! Their
insistence upon death as a reality
and their refusal to accept the
scientific fact of being, viz, that
man is Gods image" and like
ness" spiritual and not mate
rial, the emanation OF his Father
Mother Life and Love, this in
sistence upon the reality of the
fleshly embodiment, as the dear
departed, savors of pagan phi
losophy, blind idolatry, and an
absolute ignorance of Go5, the
creative Principle of being, and
Christ, OF the body of Truth and
Love, God, which is composed of
infinite ideas, Or members, and
whose existence is the reflection
of an eternal, creative Principle
called "Our Father, which art in
heaven" The time will come
when these memorial services
will be discontinued, and the
presence of the loved ones will
be admitted and revealed.
