But the seventh verse of the second chapter of Genesis says that "the Lord God (armed man of the dust of the ground. and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life." The record 0! creation contained in the first chapter of Gen- esis and the account beginning with the seventh verse of the second chap- ter are so different as to be absoluteâ€" ly irreconcilable. 0n pages 521 and .32? of “Science and Health withKey to tho Svriptures." Mrs. Eddy makes it plain thnt these two presentations of creation are entirely contrary one to the nthe-r. Any careful reader of the book of Genesis should be readily able to see the contrnriety. The first record of creation de~ (-lnres that "thr- heavens. and the earth Wt'rt‘ tinisha-d. and all the host of them." This finished universe or 'God is snid to have been reeog- nixed by him as being “very good." This very good and complete uni- \o-rst‘. according to the record.

" While Jesus under stood the claim for recognition m'ade by “that which is born of the flesh." it is evident that he did not admit the validity of this claim. for e said. “it is the spirit that qui eneth; the flesh profiteth nothing." The words that i speak unto )ou,‘ they are spirit. and they are life." it is olnioua that the Master regarded the spiritual as the real.

For this reason the matter man, or the physical man. is seen not to he the real man of God's creating. If this be true, the question naturally arises. "What is the real man?" . Christian Science answers that the‘ reality of man is his mental or 5spiritual identity. These terms do not, however, refer to a finite mind :which is identified with the human train, nor to a soul that. is supposed to reside in a ma- terial body. but to the individual re- flection of the amine Mimi. or Spirit. the eternal God. is Said to have been made of temporal matter. In this story it is not even ¢laimed that man is the likeness of God. Man, who “tithe, first chapter is recorded as part of God's perfect. flnishe‘d crea- tion. is here supposied to have been created or remodeled from clay. Why a divinely intelligent creator would have need to remodel a perfectly good and complete universe or any part thereof is not apparent. The contrast betvi‘een the first re- cord of creation and the second acâ€" count thereof could ”be emphasized in other ways, but it fhas already been made rt-nsonahly door that if the first is accepted 1li true, the second must he rejected as false. Christian Science accepts the first or Elohistic record 215 n statement of spiritual creation. and explains the second or Jehm’istic account as an allegory c\'-‘ identiy intended by its author to de- pict the belief in a material creation.
