ing Is less material in its phenome-
ma. 1t is none the less cruel in It's
mental assassination, its hatred of
the Messiah and Christs disciples.
In its attitude and resi- tance to the
Truth Of being. the supremacy Of
good, which Christ Jesus, the divine
Metaphysician, demonstrated for all
who would follow him, scholastic
theology to-day Is but little more i'm
bued with the true sense of the power
Of Mind, and mans relation to God,
which Christ taught and proved, than
was the church at Jerusalem, when
he said to the multitude, Except
your Righteousness shall exceed the
Pharisees, We shall in no case enter
into the kingdom Of heaven"
(Matthew ", 20.) In this age. the
voice of immutable, eternal Truth,
the law of God,-Life and Love, can
not again be hushed. 1t never again
can be silenced by the deafening
clamor of materiality, the false claim
of power called evil, and opposed to
God. The voice Of the ever-present
Christ is heard to-day by some, and
his pulsating presence is arousing hui
manity from the deep sleep of Adam.
He Is awakening mankind to their
spiritual dominion, despite the resist
ance of the materialists, and is hush
ing their cry, Cruelty him! Cruelty
him!" He is speaking to the world
as when he spake to the multitudes,
ON that Sabbath day at Jerusalem,
by the pool Of Bethesda, within
whose porches lay great number Of
impotent folk, blind, halt, and with
ered,-and this is the condition Of
poor humanity to-day. He declared,
Heaven and earth shall pass away :
but my words shall not pass away"
(Luke xxi, 33.) He stands, an
intiSible presence as yet, but the voice
or this divine Metaphysician, and the
power of his Christ-mind, is heard bid
ding the helpless to arise, and take
up thy bed and walk" mark H., 81
The ever-present spiritual idea,
Christ, the Son Of God, is heard, men,
tally and audibly, by his disciples in
this age, as he was on that Sabbath
morn, when moved to the intensity Of
spiritual realization, he exclaimed:
Verify. verify. say unto you. The
hour Is coming, and now is, when
the dead Tin belief of life in matterl
shall hear the voice of the Son of
Cod and they that hear shall live.
For as the Father hath life in
Himself; so hath He given to the
Son to have life in himself. (John
v, 25, 26)
These words express Christ Jesus
sublime realization Of the allness OF
God and mans oneness with the Prin-
ciple Of being, divine Mind. The
Principle Of being Is as demonstrable
as the principle of mathematics.
Gods law, IL obeyed, can be proved,
and this knowledge, or understand
ing, Is the Science Of being, by which
Jesus made his scientific demonstra-
tions. The Galilean prophet under
stood God, good, as eternal Life,
Love, and Truth, the only real
power. He understood mans spirit
ual individuality, made in the image
and likeness of God, Gods idea or
child, expressing Him who made man
like Himself.
With the law of Spirit, or the Word
of God, this divine Metaphysician, the
Son of God, dlspelled material sense
and destroyed sin andits consequences,
-so-called disease and death, the eff
fects of the carnal mind-the lie,
which deceives the whole world, with
its claim of matter, as sentient sub
stance. There Is but one Life, one
Love, one Truth, and this Is our God,
who Is omnipotent, omniscient, and
omnipresent good; our Father and
Mother In heaven, harmony, whom true
Christian Scientists are striving to
worship In Spirit and in Truth. There
Is but one sun of our solar system, but
many rays which proceed from it.
Likewise man Is the expression of
God. and reflects eternal Life. Christ
Jesus prayed for his followers. that
they may be one, with the Father
as we are" He knew that as the
Father is eternal Life, so man, the
son or idea OF God, has life In him
self. He acknowledged no other
Source of being, no other God. lie
looked to this Source of eternal Life
and Love, his Father-Mother God,
Spirit, Mind, to supply his every need,
and spiritual Phenomena appeared,
as In the case of feeding the FIVE
thousand with "the Ave loaves and
the two fishes" Matthew XIV, 19.)

has met and always will meet every
human need"

inspiration of Life and Love, spiritual
sense, pour itself forth In the glad
exuberance of healing power, with Its

and strength. which is the operation
of spiritual thought, the Truth of be-

his royal birthright. Love Is the sol
