eternal Life and Love. is the only Gre
ator of man. and man-spyitnal man,
not the so-called flesh man--is the idea,
reflection. or image of this divine IN
finite Principle, or Cause. This is the
supreme goal in Christian Science,
which Mrs. Eddy maintains in con-
seriousness. Mrs. Eddy writes:
The discoverer Of Christian Science finds
the way less difficult when she has the high
goal ALWAYS before her thoughts. than when
she counts her footsteps in endeavoring to
reach it. (Science and Health, p. 400
This teaching is unquestonably at
variance with the notion OF material
man. or a material universe. Jesus con-
stantlv exhorted his disciples to deny
themselves-in other words. to rebnd1-
ate their mortal sense Of their 07sw
and others material existence, and to be
"born again" This "new birth he in
sisted upon; and he allowed no conces-
sionS to interfere with Ns accomplish
ment He said, "Ye must be born
again. This teaching, which Christ
Jesus characterized metaphorically as
His "f1esh and blood and Of which
He said no man could attain the
Kingdom of Heaven unless he ate
and drank thereof - this teaching
aroused the dutdgonism of the cdrnal,
or frshly mind, which Christ Jesus
set at nought. The great Leader
of Christian Science, Mary Baker
Eddy, who understands Christ's teach
ing, was arriving at a point where she
was to enter the demonstration over
the belief OF life in matter, flesh. and,
like Christ esus. was to lay down her
(m0tcriaD life. or the so-called mate
rial sense of life. that she might take
it again-might take her real, spiritual
life. or individuality as child of God,
as did Christ Jesus. the Wayshower to
eternal life understanding. as she
did that "The achievement of this ulti-
matum of Science, complete triumph
over death. requires time and immense
spiritual growth" (Unity OF Good, page
45). and also knowing that her diSdb-
bearauce from the arena OF mortal Vi
sion would be misinterpreted by the ma
teriaNv minded as death" until the
time when she should have worked out
this mighty problem. and would reap
tcnr as spiritual idea. in strict Accord
ourr with the divine Principle Of Chris
tian Science the great Leader of Chris
tian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, con-
stantlv exhorted her student, Augusta
F. Stetson. {. S. D.. to nutch with her
,eader. Mary Baker Eddy. Mrs. Eddy
assured Mrs. Stetson that
by adhering to His lonely present
highest idea OF love YOU will hold to its
Principle and be ie o! thank Him. io7T
Him. and love my augusta.
Lovingly and everlastingly yours

Mrs Eddy also writes:
Until the majesty Of Truth should be
demonstrated in divine Science the spiritual
idea was arraigned before the tribunal OF
so-cal1ed mortal mind which was unoosed
in order that the false claim OF mind i'll
matter might uncover its crime OF
defying immortal Mind. (Science and
Health. p 564)
These spiritual instructions from her
.eader and Teacher. Mary Baker
Eddy. were Mrs. Stetson's guide and
inspiration. from the time when Mrs.
Eddy called her and her spiritually
minded students ont of material organ
ization Mrs. Stetson was C0n71nccd,
both bv her own spiritual understand
ing. as unfolded in her consciousness by
her Teacher, Mary Baker Eddy. and
also bv Mrs. Eddy's loving counsel and
continued spiritual guidance-Mrs.
Stetson was convinced that the final
enemy to be met and overcome BY
Christian Science is so-called "dcdth.
