Behold leone quickly and my repard is with me- to glpe
every man according as his work shall CHRls7 JEsU

with men, and they are His people.
Thus man was no longer regarded
as a miserable sinner, but as the
blessed child of God. Why? Be-
cause st. Johns corporeal sense of
the heavens and earth had vanished,
and in place of this false sense was
the spiritual sense, the subjective
state by which he could see the new
heaven and new earth, which in
volve the spiritual idea and con-
sciousness of reality. This is Scrip
tural authority for concluding that
such recognition Of being is, and
has been, possible to man in this
present state of existence,-that
we can become conscious, here and
now, of a cessation Of death, sor-
row, and pain. This is indeed
foretaste of absolute Christian
Science.

Only through spiritual sense can tais
things of Spirit, God, be seen. At this,
the second appearing of the Son Of God.
the ideal man, Christ, his followers are
revealing the tabernacle of God on earth,
and the end of sorrow" and "crying,"
pain and DEATH" for the former
thoughts--the Adam-Eve beliefs, or the
carnal mind; which, produced this time

ing.-man in the image and likeness OF
God, reflecting his creator, infinite Life
and Love, will be found the eternal verify
of being.
At Christ's first appearing, they who
were looking through material sense saw
this ideal man as human and masculine.
They asked, SIS not this Jesus, the son OF
Joseph, whose father and mother we

came down from heaven" (John vi,
42.)
Mrs. Eddy says, "Christ, or the
spiritual idea, appeared TO human con-
sciousness as the man Jesus" (Retro-
spection and I,atrospGction, p. 93.) At
his first appearing, he represented the
fatherlood of God. When about to leave
his disciples, he comforted them with
this assurance Il go and !
leave you comfortless: / will come to
you" (John xiv, 3, 49,
Paul believed Christ Jesus promise
and looked for the temperance of the
Christ-man, who had given to the world,
in his victory over the dream Of death, a
proof of his divine nature as the Son Of
God, and he left this assurance to all who
discern the divinity of Christ Jesus:
Unto them that look for him shall
he appear the second time without
sin lfiesh1 unto salvation.
(Hebreu0s, tx, 2S.)
At Christ's second coming, the
Herods of the twentieth century are con-.
tinuing their efforts to destroy this ideal
man of Gods creating. Divine Science
reveals the eternal fact, that Christ, in
this age, represents the motherhood of
God, to human sense seen as woman.
AS Elias presented the idea OF
the fatherhood of God, which Jesus
afterward manifested, so the Reve-
lator completed this figure with
woman, typifying the spiritual idea
of Gods motherhood.
(Science and Health, p. 562.)
Only those who through spiritual sense
apprehend this man of Gods creating,
and believe his promise, are looking for
his temperance. In fulfilment of his
mission.-his final triumph over the
claim of so-called material generation,
with its beginning in suppositional life
and intelligence, and its end in death,
Christ is again meeting Judas, or the
carnal man, who sold him, at his first
demonstration, and is again, at his
second coming, receiving the thirty
pieces of silver and the smiles Of the
hypocritical Pharisees.
For ages, John the Revelator has tes-
titled of the warfare between the spiritual
real man and the Adamic race, with its
claim to life, truth intelligence, and
substance. Through his struggles and
overcoming of material sense, John at
tanned to spiritual understanding, and
heard the voice of the ever-present
Christ:
And he saith unto me, Seal not
the sayings Of the prophecy of this
book for the time is at hand
And, behold, come quickly;
and my reward is with me, to give
every man according as his work
shall be.
l am Alpha and Omega, the be-
ginning and the end, the first and
am the root and offspring OF
David, and the bright and morning
Surely I come quickly
(Rccetdtion xii, 10, 12 IS, 16, CO.,
John replied, "Even so, come. Lord
Jesus" fReveiution xii, 20.) To-day,
all who arc looking through the lens OF
spiritual sense, know this prophecy !,
rear fulfilment. True Christian Scien-
fists arc haralding the coming OF the
King Of kings, and Lord of lords;
and the government
shall be upon his shoulder: and his
name shall be called Wonderful.
Counsellor, The mighty God, The
everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace. Hsciah, *, 81
Throughout the centuries, unhecded
by the Adam-Eve race, these words OF
God have revcrberated through his
mouthpiecc, the prophet Moses:
call heaven and earth to record
this day against you, that l have
set before you life and death, bless
ing and cursing: therefore choose
life, that thou and thy seed may
live. deuteronomy xxx, 19.)
