Of love was that Of Jesus Could aught
be compared to that love which endured,
without murmuring, the worlds hatred
and scorn that you and l might under
stand that the Law of God is omnipotent
and omnipresent; that we might know
that there are no material conditions
over which this Law of God has not all
powerl 1t was this love expressed
through Jesus which enabled him to
prove that there is no death, and whereby
he emerged from the tomb to perpetuate
throughout the ages mans inalienable
right to life eternal. Writing of this
experience Of Jesus, Mary Baker Eddy,
the Discoverer and Founder of Christian
Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures:
1.-THE lonely precincts Of the tomb
gave Jesus a refuge from his foes,
place in which to solve the great
problem of being His three days
work I'm the sepulchre set the seal Of
eternity on time. He proved Life 10
be des shless and Love to be the mas
ter of hate"
UNIVERSALLY
OF GODS LAW.
Harking back through the ages to the
earliest periods OF human history we find
in the lives of patriarch and prophet
ample evidence that this Law Of God has
been understood and proven in q greater
or less degree at various times through
out the centuries The forty years
struggle Of the Israelites in the wilder
ness under the leadershiup Of Moses fur
nishes US numerous examples of the abil-
1ty Of mankind to overcome human or
mortal conditions through the under
standing and correct application of Gods
Law. In the very beginning OF their
flight from Egypt these wOfshippers OF
the true God were confronted with an
impossible sea on one side CT them and
the pursuing Egyptians on the other
with the result that through Moses
understanding OF, and ability to apply,
this ever present Law of God the waters
were divided and the Israeutes passed
through on dry land, thus escaping from
their enemies. This ever-present Law OF
God fed and sustained them when IL
scanned humanity impossible to obtain
food or drink. You will recall how the
mamma was furnished them Ia the desert
and how Moses brought forth water from
rock In a dry and parched country.
Then following on through the centuries
every now and then we find some spirit
ual character bringing to light the won
ders Of God Just as did Moses and Jesus
IN the healing Of the sick, the raising OF
the dead and countless other ways. In
the Book of Kings we read how, through
his understanding of Gods omnipotent
Law, Elisha caused the ak head to float
In the water; how he restored to life the
son OF the Shunamite mother; how he
multiplied one small pot of OIL so that
all the vessels at hand were filed to run
ming over; how one hundred men were
fed on twenty barley loaves with much
left and to spare. Then In the Book OF
Daniel we see how this Law of God de-
liyered Daniel from the hunger OF the
lions and how the three Hebrew youn z
men, Shadrach Meshach and Abed-
nego. demonstrated the ability OF Gods
Law to save them from the furnace of
fire and to deliver them therefrom with
out so much as the smell Of smoke re
naming to bear evidence OF their ordeal
And so on throughout all history are we
confronted with the uDmistakable evil
dence of the forever existence OF this Law
OF God which is always at hand, always
available and applicable to our every need
If We will but understand and apply It,
In the first Psalm we have this most re-
assuring promise
not In the counsel Of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scorn-
full But his dell ght is in the law Of
the Lord; and in his law doth he
shall be like a tree planted by the
rivers Of water, that briugeth forth
his fruit III his season; his leaf also
shall not wither; and whatsoever he
doeth shall prosper"
LIFE AND
LABORS OF JESUS.
The Bible is full of just such promises
>.
Of accounts, for our instruction and guild
ance, Of the wonderful works accom-
plished by those who have learned and
understood and put into practice this
Law Of God.
Coming down to Jesus time, we find
in the life and teachings of the humble
Nazarene the most complete explanation
and exposition of this Law Of God ever
given to mankind. In his turning the
water into wine at the wedding feast, his
frst public demonstration of the power Of
Gods Law, he at once proved that all true
law is spiritual or mental, and what we
term matter is, Of itself, not a law
maker; that all the o-called laws OF
matter may be annulled and set aside
of Gods Law. In his healing of the son
of the nobleman at Capernaum when he
was a long distance from the sick man,
and in his instantaneous transportation
of the ship across the sea OF Galilee Jesus
not only proved the omnipotence of Gods
Law over material manifestations but he
proved, at the same time that even ma
terial existence, as such, is but the prod
uct of a mistaken mental concept, and
that time and place and space are but
phazas of this mental miasma or dream
drama When he walked the waves he
completely overcame one of the most I'M
varying material laws of which we have
proved that true substance is not ma
terially composed and that there is but
one true attraction, the attraction OF
God, or Gods Law. When he fed the
thousands in the wilderness with few
loaves and fishes Jesus repeated and en-
phasized what Moses and Elisha had &C.
complished centuries before In each of
these instances 1t is proven that not only
is mans supply infinite and ever avail
able but that the multiplication enjoined
upon man by God. in the first chapter OF
Gen esis, is a process dependent wholly
upon submission to the Law of God and
not upon any human concept Of propaga-
ton and increase. And what did the
many, many instances Of healing Of the
sick. the MANNED, the halt and the blind
by Jesus, accomplish for us?
CASES OF
INSTANTANEOUS HEALING.
These thousands of instances Of heal
ing, most of them Instantaneous, show us
that there is a Law of God which, when
applied, can heal all our ills, be they
what they may; that God is not the au-
thor of sickness and that matter has nc
authority nor power in itself to create, to
heal or to alleviate sickness and disease
When he raised from the bier the son OF
