second coming has dealt a death blow to the
anirnus of the physical or carnal senses. While
persisting in fighting against Christ Truth, the
law of God, materia!ists are yielding to self
annihilation. Christs offspring, moved by the
dynamic power Of Spirit, continue to declare for
one creative Principle, eternal Life and Love,
and they are attaining spiritual concepts which
will reveal the spiritual universe, peopled with
Gods perfect children. under the control OF
eternal Mind The ideal man Of Gods creating.

so-called dragon, whose pretense of being
creator has utterly failed. The sensuous, carnal
so-called mind can longer deceive the world.

with its pleasures and pains. The counterfeit
argument of sensuous, sexual conception and
material birth, must finally vanish into nothing
ness.
The so-called aeshly mind claiming creative
power and masqueradng as God, is explained in
the vision of St. John, and prophesies the SELF
extinction of sin and its phenomena-the ma
terial man and material world:
And the fifth angel poured out his
vial upon the seat of the beast 1.-THE

material creation is doomed to self extinction.
The eternal God and His Christ who are one,

are building, who are beginning to build, on
"a wholly spiritual foundation" The followers
of Christ's Christianity are catching glorious
glimpses of universe peopled with the infinite
ideas of an infinite Principle, or Father-Mother
Life and Love.
Spiritual sense is the light, which enabled
Christ to prove his domain over the substance

Christianity, the light whose ehulgence dispels
the shadows, the images OF the material

his brother man, destroys love OF and trust IN
