rise from bondage in matter to his
natural son-ship with God.
We lose much if we think of Jesus
as altogether different from our
selves. The material body of Jesus
was made of the same fleshly ele
ments as yours and mine. Paul says
that he was tempted just as we are.
but without sin. This must mean
that evil argued to him just a- u
dots to us, bui he was wise “hough
to believe it real. He knew too much
about God to accent it. His modes
of thought differed from our only

sad “I am the way, no man
cometh unto the Father but by me.”
(John 14, 6.) What can this mean?
It means that only we become at
one with the very mental processes
which he showed forth do we lind
Gcd and our well-being.
Jesus was confronted as we ar“
with the persistent false claim that
matter is cause and law-giver for
man, that it makes and destroys him,
imposes all manner of misfortune
upon him and that theie is nothing
for him to do but submit to its de
cree. ,Hut here is the difference. He
knew without a shadow of a doubt
that man does not have to submit
His clearness understanding of the
allness and supremacy of God enabled
him to realize that every element of
matter, whether it was t le water
in the- Sea of Galilei- or the storm
cessed air above it, tie food for the
lr.clmudes, or the il'sh ana blood
in he bodies of aili-.ir mortals, is
subordinate to divine intelligence and
impotent to harm, limit, or destroy
the creation and the creatures of
God.
MARY BAKER EDDY
1 Christ Jesus spent the first thirty
years of his human experience pre
paring for the years of his teaching
and ministry. Mary Baker Eddy
spent the first forty and more years
of her human life searching for that
understanding of God which would
heal the ills of men. Christian Sci
ence was not discovered by chance
or in a moment. On page 107 of Sci
ence and Health, Mrs. Eddy says,
“In the year 1866, I discovered the
Christ Science or divine laws of Life,
Truth and Love, and named my dis
covery Christian Science. God had
been graciously preparing me during
many years for the reception of this
final revelation of the absolute di
vine Principle of scientific mental
healing.” These years of prepara
tion had been years filled to the full
with sickness, sorrow and disap
nointmentst. The arrogant human
mind finds it difficult to under
stand- why it was that the bearer of
God's great message was a quiet,
gentle-mannered New' England wo
man, for human reasoning fails to
see the divine lawr and order ex
pressed in Mrs. Eddy’s discovery.
But He who sent the message must
needs choose the messenger and His
wisdom could not err. Beneath the
gentle-mannered personality was a
heart filled with high resolves, a
courage that never faltered, and a
consciousness ever turning to God,
listening to hear, willing to obey.
No other was so ready and no other
could inscribe so well the divine ut
terance which Science and Health
gives to men.
Like Christ Jesus, Mrs. Eddy dis
cerned that only by its healing works
can a church justify its existence.
Because the Christian Science church
is based on this unshakeable founda
tion it has withstood the most in
sidious attacks aimed at Christianity
since the time of Jesus.
PRIDE NOT OF GOD
One of the most common barriers
to spiritual progress is pride. It may
be pride of position, pride of power,
pride of class or race, or pride in
the superiority of our own personal
opinions in things small and great.
In Miscellaneous Writings (page 2,
lines 2-3) Mrs. Eddy has written,
"Pride is ignorance, those assume
most who have the least wisdom or
experience.” This false sense is
sometimes bold and noisy, often
times silent, but deep-rooted. It
clings with tenacity to precedent and
custom and is the main prop for
false education and cold intellectu
ality.
Pride is an outgrowth of a wrong
sense of manhood. It assumes that
man is somebody apart from God,
that he can of himself be and do
something. The proud man believes
he accomplishes by his own ability,
that he hews or his niche in the
world and is entitled to be a little
god in his self-created realm. The
real purpose of existence he has yet
to discover. Where his life comes
from, his intelligence, his wisdom,
his ability, lie has not yet discerned.
