"scienge and Health with Key to the scriptures:"
 "The lonely precincts of the tomb gave Jesus a refuge from his foes, a place in which to solve the great problem of being. His three days work in the sepulchre set the seal of eternity on time. He proved Life to de deathless and Love to be the mas ter of hate"
 Universnlity of Gods Law. Harkins back through the ages to tho earliest periods of human his 1 tory we find in the lives of patriarch ! and prophet ample evidence that this Law of God has been understood and proven in a greater or less degree at various times throughout the centuries. The 40 years, struggle of the Israelites in the wilderness under the leadership of Moses furnishes us numerous examples of the ability of mankind to overcome human or nor tai conditions through the under standing and correct application of Gods Law. In the very beginning of their flight from Egypt these wor shippers of the true God were con fronted with an impossible sea on one side of them and the pursuing Egyptians on the other, with the re- suit that through Moses under standing of, and ability to apply. this ever present Law of God the waters were divided and the Israelites passed through on dry land, thus es- caping from their enemies. This eyerpresent law of God fed and sus- tained them when 1t seemed heman- ly impossible to obtain food or drink You will recall how the mama was Nst trk.. how Moses brought forth water from rock in dry and parched country. Then following on through the cen. turtles every now and then we find some spiritual character bringing to light the wonders 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 ax-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 filled to running over; how 100 men were fed on 20 barley loaves with much left and to spare. Then in the Book of Daniel we see iiDW NiiiS .1<hM VI oC0 dciiFCicu Ldii- Tel from the hunger of the lions and how the three Hebrew young men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, demonstrated the ability of Gods Law to save them from the furnace of fire and to deliver them there from without so much as the smell of smoke remaining to bear evidence of their ordeal. And so on through out all history are we confronted with the unmistakable evidence 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 uis most reassuring promise'
 Blessed Is the man that walketh not In the counsel of the ungodly. nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scorn- ful. But his delight Is In the law of the Lord: and in his law doth he mediate day and night. And he shall be like tree planted by the rivers of water. that bringeth forth. his fruit In his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper"
 The Bible is full of just such promises. my friends. and. what Is more. It Is full or accounts, for our instruction and guidance. of the won cerful works accomplished by those who have learned and understood and put into practice this Law of God.
 Life and Works of Jesus
 Coming down to Jesus time. we find In the life and teaching Of he 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 first 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 2 lawmaker; that all of the so-cailed laws of matter may be annuiled and set aside completely by an inteili- gent application of Gods Law. In his headings of the son of the noble man at CaperRaum when he was long distance from the sick man, and in his instantaneous transportation of the ship across the sea of Gal;lee Jesus not only proved the o,nnipo- tence of Gods Law over material
