.13 i .uyvyn nuuuu. Ah! I hear some one say, but he did use material remedies when he mixed clay and spittle and put it on the blind man’s eyes. This was a common remedy among the poor in those days, and I as- sume Jesus used it because of its sim- plicity and it would best. serve His pur- pose in what He was about to show them. Let me ask you a question. Did the blind man see when the clay was on his eyes? Did the clay restore his sight? No! Not until he had gone and washed ‘ it 05 did the man see. In this manner Jesus left us a‘sign that, as we cant aside all material remedies, no matter how simple, and go in the way He bu He néver tlsédrahy‘thing for the heal~ ing of mankind from disease other than the Woi‘d of God and that never failed. Aliv- If it is God's will that we should use drugs to be healed from disease why did Jesus. who came. doing the will of the Father, fail to use them in the healing which he accomplished? If God created drugs for the destruc- tion of disease and put them on earth to save and preserve the life of mankind, is it not reasonable to ask why, as He is “no respecter of persons," a~ certain drug appears to save one patient and is jnefl'ectual with another? « The whole requirement of this prom- ise is expressed in five words. “He that believeth on me.” Mrs. Eddy stands pre-eminent as'thc greatest benefactor the world has ever known since Jesus was on~ earth, because she has made clear the way in whichto do not only the works He did, but the “greater works" of His promise. The “greater works” than those which Jesus ,did are those works which so reveal the Prinâ€" ciple which worked through Him, that its individual application is possible, Mrs; Eddy’s spiritual apprehension of the Scriptures has'lmade this possible and man thereby made free to know this Principle as his own and bring out its realization now. Jesus never did a thing we cannot do, if we are wining to take up the lame croés He did and undgrgo the same morfifiation of the flesh. This fact is clearly indicated in His statement. “He that .believeth- on me, the works that' I do shall he do also, and greater works tha_n thegc _shall he do.” _ . - 7 ~~â€"-- _-_- -v--- v- "fir tery that have made the Bible 1 mil!- understood and unrud book has made the mission of Jesus of daily practice! benefit and has taught the ascendancy of the law' of Life and its dominion over the so-called law of sin and death. Christian Science teaches that works, not words, deeds. not promises, are nec- essai'y to the working out of the prob- lem of salvation, and that this salvation is from all that is mutable and imperfect, n9 matter whether you all it sin or sick~ i ness.

Father, but by me." "Think not that'l am come to destroy the law. or the prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all __-..-- ..â€".-.. n4 gun.» in due time “all 'shall know me" (God) from the least to the reates .” Theicontrastlng resu ts of the material and spiritual method for the treatment of disease are vividly portrayed in the Bible, as the following quotations will prove. For the material method we have the following from Chronicles, “And Asa was diseased in his feet “ *‘ ‘ yet in his‘ disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians.

This command was certainly not meant to apply solely to his twelve dis- ciples, for he afterwards gave the same power to seventy other students.
