and rose to higher spiritual pos
sibilities. She lives, is here, and
continues to attune, to the an
them of eternal Life, all who are
ready to accept and who en-
deavor to demonstrate her
teaching. Let me quote my
authority for this statement,
from page 2s7 of Miscellany by
Mary Baker Eddy:
THERE is NO DEATH
A suppositional gust Of evil in
this evil world is the dark hour
that precedes the dawn. This
gust blows away the baubles of
belief, for there is in reality no
evil, no disease, no death; and the
Christian Scientist who believes
that he dies, gains rich blessing
of disbelief in death, and higher
realization of heaven.
My beloved Edward A. Kimball,
whose clear, correct teaching Of
Christian Science has been and is
an inspiration to the whole field,
is here now as veritably as when
he visited me year ago. If we
would awake to this recognition,
we should see him here and rea-
lie that he never died; thus
demonstrating the fundamental
truth of Christian Science.
To-day history is repeating
itself. Upon Jesus reappear-
ance, he found his dull dis
ciples discussing his death. In
the walk to Emmaus they fajleG
to recognize him, until his
spiritual presence toucheJ a 1e-
sponsive chord. Then they
recognized their Master and
Teacher.
And they said one to another,
Did not our hearts burn within
us, while he talked with us by the
way and while he opened to us the
scriptures? luke XIV, 32.)
Let Christian Scientists study
the words and works of Mrs.
Eddy, until her spiritual pres
ence causes their hearts to burn
within them, and "o'er earth 5
troubled, angry sea" they "see
Christ walk" and come TO
them, and "tenderly, oivinely
talk" Poems by Mary Baker Eddy
p. 12).
Christ Jesus disciples be-
lieved that he had diec. Had
they gained the sp ritual appre-
hension Of his teaching, they
would have understood that
in leaving them, he was making
a demonstration over the carnal
mind, or un versal evil, and
would prove that there is no
reality in death. LET men
think they had killed the body, -
says our Leader. "Afterward
he would show it to them un-
changed" (Science and Health,
p. 42.) This he did, and his
followe, s must accept his teach
ing, follow his example, and
finally, here or hereafter, make
the demonstration of eternal
Life. This will enable them to
say, with understanding, as did
our Master, Il end my Father
are one," but my Father is
greater than l." (John K, 80;
xiv, 28.) Mrs. Eddy declares:
The great spiritual fact must
be brought out that man is, not
shall be, perfect and immortal.
{Sciencc and Health, p. 42s.)
A1ls. Eddy's teaching is for
ever established in the hearts OF
her true followers, who come
forth en- masse when the enemy
Of good attempts to trail its
standard in the dust, by operat-
ing through those who a1e ear
nestly striving to follow and obey
the teaching of Christ Jesus and
their great Leader, Mrs. Eddy,
but who have not yet attained to
a spiritual concept OF CHI istian
Science. Divine Love will iinally
illumine the path of every loyal
disciple of Christ.
To-day the world is:aroused to
choose between the Christ mind
and the so-called carnal mind
Humanity desires the rewo,d of
spiritual thinking and spiritual
living, which results in health
and happiness; but all are not
ready to make the sacrifice to
attain it. Only the bravely brave,
the dauntless Christian, will
work to overcome material self
and the carnal thoughts that
