man suffering and his perSever-
ing search for the security that
is found only in the recognition
of mans true home, his oneness
with divine Love. Home!. Securi-
ty! They are never assured in
the dream world of mortal ex-
iStence. Home, peace, security
are only to be found in the in
separable and eternal nature of
God and man as revealed by
Christ Jesus. Mary Baker Eddy,
the Discoverer and Founder of
Christian Science, writes, Pill
grim on earth, thy home is hea-
ven; stranger, thou art the guest
of God" (Science and Health
Key to the Scriptures, p. 254).
Jesus teachings and deeds
have increasingly reve d ! e d
through the centuries the eter-
nal, spiritual nature of man and
his oneness with God-his Faith
er. Yet he was a stranger. In
writing of Jesus, John said:
1.-The world knew him not. He
came unto his own, and his
own received him not" John /:
10, IL. Jesus, speaking of him
self, said mo man knoweth the
Son.. land sensing the stran-
gers need for love and recognl-
ton said, Come unto me, all
We that labour and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest
Matt. 11:27, 28). BY his ascen-
n d his disappearance from
mortal existence, Jesus proved
salvation from mortal life is not
by way of the grave, but through
spiritually awakening to our one
ness with God, divine Love. He
was specific in his refutation of
death as a way to mans one
ness with God. Paul pointedly
asked, 30 grave, where is thy
victory?" q Cor. 1850
Salvation Through Realization of
Mans Spiritual Nature
Jesus deeds showed both the
sinner and invalid that a COM
plete and full salvation was
within the present possibility Of
every sincere seeker of the Mind
of Christ. The spiritual truths,
taught and demonstrated by Je-
sus, enabled one of his disciples,
John, to prove that salvation
comes through the Spiritualiza-
ton Of individual human con-
sciouSneSS. John unforgettably
sets forth his experience in the
book of Revelation as follows:
IT saw a new heaven and new
earth: for the first heaven and
the first earth were passed a.
way. And I hear great voice
out of heaven saying, Behold,
the tabernacle of God is with
men, and he will dwell with
them. And God shall wipe a.
way all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor cry
ng, neither shall there be any
more pain: for the former things
are passed away" (Rev. 21:1, 8,
A..
Mrs. Eddy understood the full
significance of this remarkable
experience Of John and its i'm
plication that the way of saliva
ton is through unfolding stages
of individual consciousness. The
Christian Science textbood, "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures, reveals the scien-
tific significance Of Johns ex-
perience as follows: This testi-
mony of Holy Writ sustains the
fact in Science that the heavens
and earth to one human con-
sciouSness, that consciousness
which God bestoWs, are Spiritu-
al, while to another, the unillu-
mined human mind the vision
is material. This shows unmis-
takably that what the human
mind terms matter and spirit in
dicates states and SageS of con-
seriousness" (p. 573).
The scientific truths of Christi
an Science come through indivi-
dual spiritualization of thought,
The physical scientist of today
confirms Mrs. Eddy'S statement
that there is mo. substance in
matter" (Science and Health, p
468). Experiments in atomic fis-
sion have revealed what Mrs
Eddy almost a century ago dis
cerned spiritually to be the tenn
poral nature of matter. Human
consciousness is losing its faith
in material remedies. The world
is searching for a dependable
remedy. Enlightened thought is
/ looking to Spirit, God, for heal
ing. Religion, also, is increas
ingly reflecting the b r o d e
sense of God as Life, Truth, anc
Love, and is beginning to ac
knowledge Gods power to hea
the invalid as we'll as the sinner
as taught by Christ Jesus anC
revealed by Christian Science
Human thought is becoming les!
of a stranger to the scientific
truths of divine Mind and il
finding its true source to be il
the universe of Spirit. Through
Christian Science humanity /!
increasingly proving mans her
tage, his oneness with divine
Love.
