   1      A great sacrifice of material things must precede this
     advanced spiritual understanding. The highest prayer
   3  is not one of faith merely; it is demonstra-

    Loftiest
    adoration

     tion. Such prayer heals sickness, and must
     destroy sin and death. It distinguishes between Truth
   6  that is sinless and the falsity of sinful sense.
         Our Master taught his disciples one brief prayer,
     which we name after him the Lord's Prayer. Our Mas-
   9  ter said, "After this manner therefore pray

    The prayer of
    Jesus Christ

     ye," and then he gave that prayer which
     covers all human needs. There is indeed some doubt
  12  among Bible scholars, whether the last line is not an
     addition to the prayer by a later copyist; but this does
     not affect the meaning of the prayer itself.
  15      In the phrase, "Deliver us from evil," the original
     properly reads, "Deliver us from the evil one." This
     reading strengthens our scientific apprehension of the peti-
  18  tion, for Christian Science teaches us that "the evil one," or
     one evil, is but another name for the first lie and all liars.
         Only as we rise above all material sensuousness and
  21  sin, can we reach the heaven-born aspiration and spir-
     itual consciousness, which is indicated in the Lord's
     Prayer and which instantaneously heals the sick.
  24      Here let me give what I understand to be the spir-
     itual sense of the Lord's Prayer:
 
     [[[Our Father which art in heaven,
  27     Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious,]]]
 
     Hallowed be Thy name.
        Adorable One.
 
  30  Thy kingdom come.
        Thy kingdom is come; Thou art ever-present.
