| 1 | Jesus uttered things which had been "secret from the |
| | foundation of the world,"--since material knowledge |
| 3 | usurped the throne of the creative divine Principle, insisted |
| | on the might of matter, the force of falsity, the insignifi- |
| | cance of spirit, and proclaimed an anthropomorphic God. |
| 6 | [[[Whosoever lives most the life of Jesus in this age |
| | and declares best the power of Christian Science, will |
| | drink of his Master's cup. Resistance to | The cup of Jesus |
| 9 | Truth will haunt his steps, and he will in- |
| | cur the hatred of sinners, till "wisdom is justified of |
| | her children." These blessed benedictions rest upon |
| 12 | Jesus' followers: "If the world hate you, ye know that |
| | it hated me before it hated you;" "Lo, I am with you |

| | it is spiritual and because his life is not at the mercy of |

| | resurrection from the grave, as the self-same Jesus whom |
| | they had loved before the tragedy on Calvary. |

| 27 | more than to Soul, for an earnest of immor- |
| | tality,--to him Jesus furnished the proof that he was |
| | unchanged by the crucifixion. To this dull and doubt- |
| 30 | ing disciple Jesus remained a fleshly reality, so long as |
| | the Master remained an inhabitant of the earth. Noth- |
| | ing but a display of matter could make existence real |
