He demon- Mrated continuously throughout the three years of his ministry his ability to chnnge emailed matter in “cord. ance with the dictates of good. Every change that Jesus made in what seemed material conditions was made in strict obedience to the laws of di, vine metphysics. Jenus’ primary con- tern was with Spirit, divine Mind, and yet all ofhis demonstrations of divine power were murk- tu meet some power human human need. It is recorded that in three in. stances Jesus was tempted to change matter from one form to another, and to set aside certain material laws for his own human satisfaction, for the plaudits of the world, or for personal wealth and prestige, In every case. he "rfused--these temptations found no response in him. Such an abuse of hi, spiritual puwer would have cust Jesus the loss of his spiritual under- standing, and of his ability to worship spiritually, and would have separated him from conscious sonship with Grd. That Jesus had dominion over belief in matter and over material laws is, evident, and it is plain. that he Sxcu" vised this dominiun only in obedience to divine Principle. Is not this the adoratiun of God, Spirit, the exaltatiun of His holy name and nature? Is this not the practich! fulfilling of the command- ment, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind"? This is in, deed true spiritual worship'-usititt the Teveaied laws of divine Mind's supremacy over matter, in subjection to and in relation always to that holy law of God, "love thy neighbour as thyself." Jesus Disciples. Metaphyirleisns That Jesus taught his disciples tn be Christian metaphysicians is clear. At one time, Jesus, yearning to be understood, and it may be to test the metaphysics of his disciples, asked them, "But whom say ye that I (the Son of man) am?” It was Peter who gave hi mthe answer which satisfied, when he replied, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." In other words, Peter, through spiritual diss, cernment, realized that, although Jesus had called himself "the Son of man," he was in factand always had been the Son of God, Peter was an ipt pupil in divine metaphysics, and his response was based not only on what he had observed in Jesus’ prac- tice, but also on what his awakened spiritual senses had revealed to him. llo saw that Jesus' conscious use of his spiritual inheritance had identi- hed him with the Christ. it is upon this understanding of the true self- hund of each individual a: a son of God that Christ Jesus declared that ihe would build his church. Mrs. Eddy ‘telfs us that "Perfect God and perfect man" are 'fthe basis of thought and demonstration" (Srience and Health, p. 259) in Christian Science. Peter's reply must have been the sourre of great rejoicing to JOEL”. for through it he learned that his true selihood. his ministry, and his teachings had been understood spiritually, and that what he knew of God and man and their inseparable relationship could what he knew of God and man and their inseparable relationship could be taught to others. Discoverer and Founder Mary Baker Eddy, a gentle New England woman, discovered this "lost spring" of "living water" of which Jesus snake to the woman of Samaria. Thereafter. Mrs. Eddy lovingly de. voted her life to making this spiritual truth available to all those "who hunger and thirst Mter righteous;- ness." She knew that in giving Chris- tian Scieme to the world, she was hut restatimr in prayerful humanity the pure Christianity which Jesus taught and lived.' It had become clear to her that this Christianity was sei- ontifie and thereafter provable. Every doctrinal statement in "Seienee and Health with Key to the Scriptures" is _scient'Me, and when understood and honestly tested, will be found verifi- able. One who knew and loved Mrs. Eddy wrote of her. "Only one taught. of Gnd-eould employ the English language so masterfully, making 'every word and phrase the perfect servant of divine thought" (Alice Barton, Christian Science Journal. xv, p. 230), An unprejudiced read- ing of this book will convince anyone that its author was a loving, earnest. unworldly woman who' had thought much and yearned deeply to satisfy her spiritual hunger. It was Mrs. Eddy who wrote (Pulpit and Press. p. 9), “Practice not profession-tood- ness, not doetrines,-splritual under- standing, not mere belief, gain the ear and right hand of omnipotence. and call down blessings. infinite." Spiritual understanding discerns the truth about God and man in His image and likeness; spiritual worship practices this truth, and spiritual power detttotutrtttes it in our present experience. Thus is Christian Science proved to be the restoration of pure Christianity.
