How much does he weigh? [10] His substance outweighs the material world. How old is he? Of his days there is no beginning and no ending. What is his name? Christ Science. [15] Who are his parents, brothers, and sisters? His Father and Mother are divine Life, Truth, and Love; and they who do the will of his Father are his is brethren. Is he heir to an estate? [20] “The government shall be upon his shoulder!” He has dominion over the whole earth; and in admiration of his origin, he exclaims, “I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto [25] babes!” Is he wonderful? His works thus prove him. He giveth power, peace, and holiness; he exalteth the lowly; he giveth liberty [Page 168.] to the captive, health to the sick, salvation from sin to [1] the sinner—and overcometh the world! Go, and tell what things ye shall see and hear: how the blind, spiritually and physically, receive sight; how the lame, those halting between two opinions or hob- [5] bling on crutches, walk; how the physical and moral lepers are cleansed; how the deaf—those who, having ears, hear not, and are afflicted with “tympanum on the brain”—hear; how the dead, those buried in dogmas and physical ailments, are raised; that to the poor— [10] the lowly in Christ, not the man-made rabbi—the gospel is preached. Note this: only such as are pure in spirit, emptied of vainglory and vain knowledge, re- ceive Truth. Here ends the colloquy; and a voice from heaven seems [15] to say, “Come and see.” The nineteenth-century prophets repeat, “Unto us a son is given.” The shepherds shout, “We behold the appearing of the star!”—and the pure in heart clap their hands. [20] Editor’s Extracts From Sermon TEXT: _Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of_ _God._—MATT. xxii. 29. _The Christian Science Journal_ reported as follows:— The announcement that the Rev. Mary B. G. Eddy [25] would speak before the Scientist denomination on the afternoon of October 26, drew a large audience. Haw- thorne Hall was densely packed, and many had to go away unable to obtain seats. The distinguished speaker began by saying:— [30] [Page 169.] Within Bible pages she had found all the divine Science [1] she preaches; noticing, all along the way of her researches therein, that whenever her thoughts had wandered into the bypaths of ancient philosophies or pagan literatures, her spiritual insight had been darkened thereby, till [5] she was God-driven back to the inspired pages. Early training, through the misinterpretation of the Word, had been the underlying cause of the long years of in- validism she endured before Truth dawned upon her understanding, through right interpretation. With the [10] understanding of Scripture-meanings, had come physical rejuvenation. The uplifting of spirit was the upbuild- ing of the body.
