  1	    Did the salvation of the eunuch depend merely on his
  	believing that Jesus Christ was the Son of God? 

 3	    It did; but this believing was more than faith in the
  	fact that Jesus was the Messiah. Here the verb believe
  	took its original meaning, namely, to be firm, — yea, to
 6	understand those great truths asserted of the Messiah:
  	it meant to discern and consent to that infinite demand
  	made upon the eunuch in those few words of the apostle. 
 9	Philip's requirement was, that he should not only ac-
  	knowledge the incarnation, — God made manifest through
  	man, — but even the eternal unity of man and God, as
12	the divine Principle and spiritual idea; which is the in-
  	dissoluble bond of union, the power and presence, in
  	divine Science, of Life, Truth, and Love, to support their
15	ideal man. This is the Father's great Love that He
  	hath bestowed upon us, and it holds man in endless
  	Life and one eternal round of harmonious being. It
18	guides him by Truth that knows no error, and with
  	supersensual, impartial, and unquenchable Love. To
  	believe is to be firm. In adopting all this vast idea of
21	Christ Jesus, the eunuch was to know in whom he be-
  	lieved. To believe thus was to enter the spiritual sanctuary
  	of Truth, and there learn, in divine Science, somewhat
24	of the All-Father-Mother God. It was to understand
  	God and man:  it was sternly to rebuke the mortal
  	belief that man has fallen away from his first esta...te; that
27	man, made in God's own likeness, and reflecting Truth,
  	could fall into mortal error; or, that man is the father
  	of man. It was to enter unshod the Holy of Holies, where
30	the miracle of grace appears, and where the miracles of
  	Jesus had their birth, — healing the sick, casting out
  	evils, and resurrecting the human sense to the belief

  1	that Life, God, is not buried in matter. This is the spirit-
  	ual dawn of the Messiah, and the overture of the
 3	angels. This is when God is made manifest in the
  	flesh, and thus it destroys all sense of sin, sickness, and
  	death, — when the brightness of His glory encompasseth
 6	all being.
