  	    Of old, the Jews put to death the Galilean Prophet,
  	the best Christian on earth, for the truth he spoke and
30	demonstrated, while to-day, Jew and Christian can unite
  	in doctrine and denomination on the very basis of Jesus'
  	words and works. The Jew believes that the Messiah or
 1	Christ has not yet come; the Christian believes that
  	Christ is God. Here Christian Science intervenes, ex-
 3	plains these doctrinal points, cancels the disagreement,
  	and settles the question. Christ, as the true spiritual idea,
  	is the ideal of God now and forever, here and everywhere. 
 6	The Jew who believes in the First Commandment is a
  	monotheist; he has one omnipresent God. Thus the Jew
  	unites with the Christian's doctrine that God is come and
 9	is present now and forever. The Christian who believes
  	in the First Commandment is a monotheist. Thus he
  	virtually unites with the Jew's belief in one God, and
12	recognizes that Jesus Christ is not God, as Jesus himself
  	declared, but is the Son of God. This declaration of
  	Jesus, understood, conflicts not at all with another of his
15	sayings: "I and my Father are one," — that is, one in
  	quality, not in quantity. As a drop of water is one with
  	the ocean, a ray of light one with the sun, even so God
18	and man, Father and son, are one in being. The Scrip-
  	ture reads: "For in Him we live, and move, and have
  	our being."
