  	    Jesus' spiritual origin and his demonstration of divine
  	Principle richly endowed him and entitled him to sonship
 1	in Science. He was the son of a virgin. The term
  	Christ Jesus, or Jesus the Christ (to give the full and
 3	proper translation of the Greek), may be ren-	                             The one
  	dered "Jesus the anointed," Jesus the God-	                             anointed 
  	crowned or the divinely royal man, as it is said of him in
 6	the first chapter of Hebrews: — 

  	       Therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee
  	       With the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 

 9	    With this agrees another passage in the same chapter,
  	which refers to the Son as "the brightness of His [God's]
  	glory, and the express [expressed] image of His person
12	[infinite Mind]." It is noteworthy that the phrase "ex-
  	press image" in the Common Version is, in the Greek
  	Testament, character. Using this word in its higher mean-
15	ing, we may assume that the author of this remarkable
  	epistle regarded Christ as the Son of God, the royal
  	reflection of the infinite; and the cause given for the ex-
18	altation of Jesus, Mary's son, was that he "loved right-
  	eousness and hated iniquity." The passage is made
  	even clearer in the translation of the late George R. 
21	Noyes, D.D.: "Who, being a brightness from His glory,
  	and an image of His being."
