MIRACLES OF JESUS
DIVINELY NATURAL.
The works Of Jesus were not miracles
Z in the sense of being infractionS of law.
they were marvellous to human sense
because it is difficult for the human mind
to grasp the divine naturalness of the
operation of spiritual law in human eZ-
perience. But for the very reason that
these works of Jesus were diviuely ma
tural and lawful, they can be done to-
day by those who understand spiritual
law and its application to human needs.
That Is why Jesus could say, He that
beIeveth in me Che who understands
Christi, the works that | do shall he do
also, And it is a fact that these works
being done today by Christian ScieL-
lists, to very considerable extent.
Through this work of spiritual healing
and regeneration, Christian Science Is
which Paul said is death, and is estab-
fishing the Christ mind, which is Life.
Jesus said, This Is life seternal that
they might KIN w thee, the only true God
and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
So the attainment Of Immortality does not
depend upon dying and going to a far
off heaven or to any other place. 1t de
pends upon knowing the Truth, right
here and now, the truth about God who
is Life.

after passing through the experience
called death Christian Science teaches
that the experience of death is only a
moment of extIeme fear, and that one
does not necessarily become less material
or more spiritual by passing through that
to go on working out his salvation until,
through education and enlightenment, he
is gradually freed from the illusions OF
matter and evil Christians Science show
that the only hell is belief in the reality
Of evil, matter, disease, and death. This
