love fails and grows weary; but d.

denies fear and evil, and will con-
tinue Her mighty action, until Love
disperses the clouds, that hide from
mankind, the real and eternal.
Jesus fulfilled his earth-mission. He
left humanity "the way" In this
era, Mary Baker Eddy discovered
Christ Jesus method of healing the
sick by the power of the Christ
mind, and named her discovery
Christian Science. On page 226 of
Science and Health she says:
I saw before me the sick, wearing
out years Of servitude to an unreal
master in the belief that the body
governed them, rather than Mind.
Her personal, and, in this hour,
impersonal guidance, has led her
true followers to the mount of spir-
itual vision, and they are demon
strating their divine possibilities
and realizing their oneness with
God and the allness of Life and
Love.
History shall not continue to re-
peat itself. Religious intolerance
will yield to Chfist's Christianity,
and man will claim and demonstrate
his oneness with his Father Mother
God, eternal Life and Love. They
who have really touched the hem
of the garment of Christ can never
return to a material religion or a
material organization. Spiritual or
ganization is unity of Christ's Off
spring in the bonds of brotherly
love, Love reflected in love. Mrs.
Eddy defines this in the following
words 1.-THE offspring of Spirit, who,
having wrestled with error, sin, and
sense, are governed by divine

beheld as men, casting out error and
healing the sick; Christ's offspring
Science and Health, page $3.50. In
this hour Christian Scientists have
spiritual authority to demand recog-
milton by their demonstration OF
the spiritual power with which God
endowed man. Never, as in the
past, will the faithful followers, OF
Christ Jesus and Mary Baker Eddy
be ordered to the rear, nor tortured
upon the rack, because they demand
for themselves, and for. all mankind,
their God-given right to life, liber-
| ty, and the pursuit of happiness, and
their spiritual dominion over the
false claim of sin, sickness and
death. The full significance OF
mans eternal destiny, his oneness
with the great Principle of being
eternal Life and Love, is dawnine
upon him, and humanity will awake

Christian Scientists have for their
Leader Christ, who assures them,

accept Christ as the guide to eter-

It is Science, the understanding of
the dynamic power. of spiritual
thought-force, as taught in this age
by Mary Baker Eddy, that enables
Christian Scientists to recognize the
Christ and to demonstrate over
seeming disease by the Word. Paul
asked, "Why should it be thought a
thing incredible with you that God
should raise !. the dead?" It is
blasphemy for Christian. Scientists
to affirm, 1and my Father are one? ?"

but that the divine individuality, the
