strengthened, neither have ye
healed that which was sick, neither
have ye bound up that which was
broken. neither have ye brought
again that which was driven away,
neither have We sought that which
was lost
My sheep wandered through all
the mountains, and upon every
high hill; yea. my flock was scat
tered upon all the face of the
earth, and none did search or seek
after them.
For thus saith the Lord God:
Behold, !. even l. will both search
my sheep, and seek them out
And they shall no more be prey
to the heaten. neither shall the
beast of the land devour them; but
they shall dwell safely, and none
shall make them afraid
Thus shall they know that the
Lord their God am with them, and
that they even the house of Israel,
are my people, saith the Lord God.
And We my flock, the flock of my
pasture, are men, and l am your
God, saith the Lord God ezekiel
xxxiv, 4, 6, IL, zS, 30, 3l).
Paul, with spiritual illumination
of the allness of Spirit, God, cried
to the world of dreamers, Awake
thou that sleepest. and arise from
the dead, and Christ shall give
thee light" Awaking to the real
ity of his spiritual identity and
relation to God, he rebelled
against the tyranny and torture
of the carnal, material senses, or
the belief of life in matter, and
left this denunciation of the false
product of Adam-Eve: 20 wretched
man that I am! who shall deliver
me from the body of this death?"
who shall deliver me from this
material body of sensuous material
generation? (Romans vii, z4.)
The development of Paul's spiritual
sense revealed to him the cause of
suffering, sorrow and death, and he
chronicled his condemnation of the
claim of power opposed to God in
the following words:
AS in Adam all die, even so in
Christ shall all be made alive.
q. Corinthians xv., zz.)
To be carnally minded is death:
but to be spiritually minded is life
and peace. Romans viii, 6)
Thus he denounced Adam-Eve's
race. John, the Revelator, under
stood the secret of his Masters
teaching, viz, that Mind, Spirit,
God, is omnipotent Life and Love,
the only real, eternal cause, the only
creator, the Father and Mother of
the universe, including every idea,
or child, from the infnitesimal to
the infinite. There is but one crea-
tor-infnite Spirit, and one uni
verse, composed of infinite ideas,
namely, God and His Christ. Each
individual idea, or embodied life and
love, is forever unfolding under the
operation of Spirit, developing from
glory to glory, revealing the infinite
possibilities of the man of Gods
creating, who is forever governed
by the law of Spirit, the Principle
of being, the eternal I AM. Mary
Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and
Founder of Christian Science and
author of its textbook, Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures,
tells us, "all causation was Mind,
and every effect mental phenome-
non." (Retrospecion and Intro
specdon, p. A) Then we logically
infer that man, created by Spirit,
God, is immortal, and is held. for
ever m the eternal arms of Life and
Love, who feeds, clothes, and en-
virons every child, or idea, which
composes His body, manifestation,
or universe.
The first-born of God, the Christ
man, is the Head of the body.
Christ Jesus understood his nativity.
He taught and proved the power of
his spiritual individuality, by healing
the sick or destroying false mental
hallucinations-by feeding the hun
cry multitude, by walking the waves
and calming the fears of his terrified
disciples; by raising Lazarus and
commanding him to come forth
from the grave, and finally by over
coming, for himself, "the last
enemy"-so-called death. Trium-
phantly he emerged from the tomb,
having attained a glorious victory
over "the king of terrors" death.
Today, mankind is yielding to the
pressure of Gods irresistible law of pro-
gression, or unfoldment. Humanity is
fast awaking from the mesmeric sleep of
the Adam-Eve generation. The God
impe1led, or the seekers for the de-
Principle which Christ Jesus
proved. are apprehending their divine
possibilities and are beginning to under
stand the import of Johns words, This
is life eternal, that they might know
Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ
THE Christ mani, whom Thou hast sent
John, 1873
In this era, at his second coming,
Christ is calling loudly to humanity TO
