The : contention for inlmor-
tai ty between the students of
Mrs. Eddy, who have been
BUILDING on a spiritual founda-
ton, and those students who
continue to adhere to and otey
the material senses, is apparent.
They have written their prob
lem upon the worlds black
board, while progress, the law
of the Infinite, has enabled
thousands to keep abreast with
Truth and distinguish the gen
uine Christian 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

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 Galilean prophet,
viz, that man is an ernanation
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 dissolu-
ton as its component stages
hides the true and spiritual Life,
and causes our standard to trail in
the dust.
(Sa;ence 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. Romans viii, g.
Mrs. Eddy bids her students:
Abide in Truth, in fellowship
with and obedience to The Mother
Church, and in this way God will
bless and prosper you. This I
know, for He has proved it to me
for forty years in succession.
(Mascellany, p. 360)
Mrs. Eddy defines Church"
as 1.-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.
