onstration over the last enemy-the
Illusion of death. This understanding
Is Cbrist's second coming to human
apprehension.
What reception has hlmanity given
him In this twentieth century, Do
not some, as OF old, refuse to be-
lieve In the power Of the Christ-mind,
while Others strive to attain It? Do
the majority not say as OF yore,
1--WE will not have this man to reign
over us?" (Luke xix, 14.) Again, do
we not hear, Cruelty HIM? Is not
the suppositional carnal mind In this
hour rising against Truth, and de-
clarlng for life In matter and the
reality of sin, sickness and death?
At Christ's second appearing, Truth
and Love viii finally roll back the
stone from the tomb of belief Of mat
ter as sentient substance, and appear
TO the world, victorious over the illu-
sion Of death and the grave; for ''man
is not material; he is spiritual"
MARY Baker Eddy.)
Had the world accepted the teach
ings and atonement-dt-one-Dtent-of
Christ Jesus with Principle. God, and
followed the example Of our Saviour
in his demonstrations Of Mind over
matter, Of Truth over error, and of
Life over death, humanity would
realize to-day, that the creator of man,
the divine Mind, could not be the
author of this seemingly chaotic and
turbulent universe, which controls
mortals with its own erratic, ungov-
ernable claim to power, leaving them
trembling with fear and suffering, sor-
row and darkness, and mocking them,
when they resist Its arrogant domina-
tion.
In that surprising life of Jesus Of
Nazareth, men have recognized the
supremacy of divine Love, In the man
Of Gods creating, a revelation of the
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, or divine
Science, wisdom and understanding.
Notwithstanding the resistance of the
carnal mind to the demonstration of
Christ Jesus, the relation of man to
his maker, as taught by the Nazarene
prophet, Christ, the ideal man, and
in this age by Mary Baker Eddy, the
feminine representative Of the Mother
hood Of God, whose demonstration is
imminent--the understanding of this
relation has exerted a deeper influ-
ence over mankind, and has done more
o teach the power Of Truth over error,
Life over death, and the healing eff
cacy Of divine Love, than all the dis.
QUESTIONS of philosophers or. exhorta.
tions of moralists the world has ever
known. Christ declared, Heaven and
earth shall pass away; but my words
shall not pass away" Mark kill, 81. }
The "word" is Gods ideal man, who
voices eternal Life and, Love, the
Fatherhood and Motherhood of God.
The ideal man, the representative Of
the Fatherhood and Motherhood of
God, the compound idea, is ander-
stood by the disciples of Christ of the
twentieth century, and "to them that
look for him, shall he appear the sec
ond time without sin [fieshly embodi-
mentl unto salvation" but with spirit
ual embodiment, or the image and
likeness of God. This is the coming
Of "The King Of kings, and Lord of
lords" and "the government shall be
upon his shoulder: and his name shall
be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The
mighty God, The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace"
In this twentieth century, Christian
Science has come to us to interpret
the transcendent spiritual ideal, which
was expressed In the life Of Christ
Jesus, our Way-shower to eternal Life.
In this era, men and women, who have
been for years endeavoring to fathom
the hidden mysteries Of God, that will
give them their promised dominion
over all things, which is their divine
heritage; who have long spurned the
empty forms and dead faith of time
honored creeds and dogmas; who have
vainly striyen to fathom the depths
"of the riches both Of the wisdom and
knowledge of God," which Christ
Jesus and his disciples utilized to
overcome sin, sickness and death
these seekers for a demonstrable
Christianity are to-day resisting theo-
logical assumptions and ecclesiastical
pretenslons to know God, whom to
know Alright "is life eternal" (John
xviii, 3D. The twentieth century
thinkers are emancipating themselves
from the power Of a so-called Satan,
the lie, which has deceived the whole
world-and In this glad hour they re-
joice, as the voice of eternal Truth
assures them that mental slavery ard
tyrannous human material so-called
law IS abolished. They are asserting
