 9	    This angel or message which comes from God, clothed
  	with a cloud, prefigures divine Science. To mortal sense
  	Science seems at first obscure, abstract, and	                                 The new
12	dark; but a bright promise crowns its brow. 	                                         Evangel 
  	When understood, it is Truth's prism and praise. When
  	you look it fairly in the face, you can heal by its means,
15	and it has for you a light above the sun, for God "is the
  	light thereof." Its feet are pillars of fire, foundations
  	of Truth and Love. It brings the baptism of the Holy
18	Ghost, whose flames of Truth were prophetically de-
             scribed by John the Baptist as consuming error.

1	    This angel had in his hand "a little book," open for
  	all to read and understand. Did this same book contain
 3	the revelation of divine Science, the "right	                                        Truth's
  	foot" or dominant power of which was upon	                                        volume 
  	the sea, — upon elementary, latent error, the source of
 6	all error's visible forms? The angel's left foot was upon
  	the earth; that is, a secondary power was exercised upon
  	visible error and audible sin. The "still, small voice"
 9	of scientific thought reaches over continent and ocean
  	to the globe's remotest bound. The inaudible voice of
  	Truth is, to the human mind, "as when a lion roareth." 
12	It is heard in the desert and in dark places of fear. It
  	arouses the "seven thunders" of evil, and stirs their latent
  	forces to utter the full diapason of secret tones. Then is
15	the power of Truth demonstrated, — made manifest in
  	the destruction of error. Then will a voice from harmony
  	cry: "Go and take the little book. . . . Take it, and eat
18	it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in
  	thy mouth sweet as honey." Mortals, obey the heavenly
  	evangel. Take divine Science. Read this book from
21	beginning to end. Study it, ponder it. It will be indeed
  	sweet at its first taste, when it heals you; but murmur not
  	over Truth, if you find its digestion bitter. When you
24	approach nearer and nearer to this divine Principle, when
  	you eat the divine body of this Principle, — thus partak-
  	ing of the nature, or primal elements, of Truth and Love,
27	 — do not be surprised nor discontented because you must
  	share the hemlock cup and eat the bitter herbs; for the
  	Israelites of old at the Paschal meal thus prefigured this
30	perilous passage out of bondage into the El Dorado of faith
  	and hope.

SUBTITLE 2 of 8 for above Bible Verse

  	    Heaven represents harmony, and divine Science inter-
  	prets the Principle of heavenly harmony. The great
12	miracle, to human sense, is divine Love, and	                                       True estimate
  	the grand necessity of existence is to gain the	                               of God's
  	true idea of what constitutes the kingdom of	                                       messenger 
15	heaven in man. This goal is never reached while we
  	hate our neighbor or entertain a false estimate of any-
  	one whom God has appointed to voice His Word. Again,
18	without a correct sense of its highest visible idea, we can
  	never understand the divine Principle. The botanist must
  	know the genus and species of a plant in order to classify
21	it correctly. As it is with things, so is it with persons.

  	    Abuse of the motives and religion of St. Paul hid from
  	view the apostle's character, which made him equal to
24	his great mission. Persecution of all who have	                                      Persecution
  	spoken something new and better of God has	                                      harmful 
  	not only obscured the light of the ages, but has been fatal
27	to the persecutors. Why? Because it has hid from
  	them the true idea which has been presented. To mis-
  	understand Paul, was to be ignorant of the divine idea he
30	taught. Ignorance of the divine idea betrays at once a
  	greater ignorance of the divine Principle of the idea — igno-
 1	rance of Truth and Love. The understanding of Truth
  	and Love, the Principle which works out the ends of eternal
 3	good and destroys both faith in evil and the practice of
  	evil, leads to the discernment of the divine idea.

  	    Agassiz, through his microscope, saw the sun in an
 6	egg at a point of so-called embryonic life. Because of
  	his more spiritual vision, St. John saw an	                                 Espousals
  	"angel standing in the sun." The Revelator	                                 supernal 
 9	beheld the spiritual idea from the mount of vision. 
  	Purity was the symbol of Life and Love. The Revelator
  	saw also the spiritual ideal as a woman clothed in light, a
12	bride coming down from heaven, wedded to the Lamb
  	of Love. To John, "the bride" and "the Lamb" repre-
  	sented the correlation of divine Principle and spiritual idea,
15	God and His Christ, bringing harmony to earth.

  	    John saw the human and divine coincidence, shown in

18	and its demonstration, — reducing to human	                                     Divinity and
  	perception and understanding the Life which	                                     humanity 
  	is God. In divine revelation, material and corporeal self-
21	hood disappear, and the spiritual idea is understood.

SUBTITLE 6 of 8 for above Bible Verse

  	    The woman in the Apocalypse symbolizes generic man,
  	the spiritual idea of God; she illustrates the coincidence
24	of God and man as the divine Principle and	                                          Spiritual
  	divine idea. The Revelator symbolizes Spirit	                                          sunlight 
  	by the sun. The spiritual idea is clad with the radiance
27	of spiritual Truth, and matter is put under her feet. The
  	light portrayed is really neither solar nor lunar, but spirit-
  	ual Life, which is "the light of men." In the first chapter
30	of the Fourth Gospel it is written, "There was a man sent
  	from God . . . to bear witness of that Light."

  	    John the Baptist prophesied the coming of the im-

  	idea as the Messiah, who would baptize with the Holy
 3	Ghost, — divine Science. As Elias presented	                                         Spiritual idea
  	the idea of the fatherhood of God, which Jesus	                                 revealed 
  	afterwards manifested, so the Revelator completed this
 6	figure with woman, typifying the spiritual idea of God's
  	motherhood. The moon is under her feet. This idea
  	reveals the universe as secondary and tributary to Spirit,
 9	from which the universe borrows its reflected light, sub-
  	stance, life, and intelligence.

  	    The spiritual idea is crowned with twelve stars. The

15	the activities of the divine Principle of man in the har-
  	mony of Science. These are the stars in the crown of
  	rejoicing. They are the lamps in the spiritual heavens
18	of the age, which show the workings of the spiritual idea
  	by healing the sick and the sinning, and by manifesting
  	the light which shines "unto the perfect day" as the night
21	of materialism wanes.

SUBTITLE 2 of 3 for above Bible Verse

 1	    Human sense may well marvel at discord, while, to a
  	diviner sense, harmony is the real and discord the unreal. 
 3	We may well be astonished at sin, sickness, and	                               The dragon
  	death. We may well be perplexed at human	                                       as a type 
  	fear; and still more astounded at hatred, which lifts
 6	its hydra head, showing its horns in the many inventions
  	of evil. But why should we stand aghast at nothingness? 
  	The great red dragon symbolizes a lie, — the belief
 9	that substance, life, and intelligence can be material. 
  	This dragon stands for the sum total of human error. 
  	The ten horns of the dragon typify the belief that mat-
12	ter has power of its own, and that by means of an
  	evil mind in matter the Ten Commandments can be
  	broken.

SUBTITLE 3 of 3 for above Bible Verse

15	    The Revelator lifts the veil from this embodiment of
  	all evil, and beholds its awful character; but he also
  	sees the nothingness of evil and the allness of	                                The sting of
18	God. The Revelator sees that old serpent,	                                        the serpent 
  	whose name is devil or evil, holding untiring watch, that
  	he may bite the heel of truth and seemingly impede the
21	offspring of the spiritual idea, which is prolific in health,
  	holiness, and immortality.

SUBTITLE 2 of 4 for above Bible Verse

27	    The serpentine form stands for subtlety, winding its
  	way amidst all evil, but doing this in the name of good. 
  	Its sting is spoken of by Paul, when he refers                         	      Animal
30	to "spiritual wickedness in high places." It	                                      tendency 
  	is the animal instinct in mortals, which would impel
 1	them to devour each other and cast out devils through
  	Beelzebub. 
 3	    As of old, evil still charges the spiritual idea with error's
  	own nature and methods. This malicious animal in-
  	stinct, of which the dragon is the type, incites mortals to
 6	kill morally and physically even their fellow-mortals, and
  	worse still, to charge the innocent with the crime. This
  	last infirmity of sin will sink its perpetrator into a night
 9	without a star.

SUBTITLE 3 of 4 for above Bible Verse

  	    The author is convinced that the accusations against
  	Jesus of Nazareth and even his crucifixion were instigated

  	Revelator speaks of Jesus as the Lamb of God	                                   barbarity 
  	and of the dragon as warring against innocence. Since Jesus
15	must have been tempted in all points, he, the immaculate,
  	met and conquered sin in every form. The brutal bar-
  	barity of his foes could emanate from no source except the
18	highest degree of human depravity. Jesus "opened not
  	his mouth." Until the majesty of Truth should be demon-
  	strated in divine Science, the spiritual idea was arraigned
21	before the tribunal of so-called mortal mind, which was
  	unloosed in order that the false claim of mind in matter
  	might uncover its own crime of defying immortal Mind.

SUBTITLE 4 of 4 for above Bible Verse

24	    From Genesis to the Apocalypse, sin, sickness, and
  	death, envy, hatred, and revenge, — all evil, — are typi-
  	fied by a serpent, or animal subtlety. Jesus	                                     Doom of
27	said, quoting a line from the Psalms, "They	                                     the dragon 
  	hated me without a cause." The serpent is perpetually
  	close upon the heel of harmony. From the beginning
30	to the end, the serpent pursues with hatred the spiritual
  	idea. In Genesis, this allegorical, talking serpent typi-
  	fies mortal mind, "more subtle than any beast of the
 1	field." In the Apocalypse, when nearing its doom, this
  	evil increases and becomes the great red dragon, swollen
 3	with sin, inflamed with war against spirituality, and ripe
  	for destruction. It is full of lust and hate, loathing the
  	brightness of divine glory.

 9	    Led on by the grossest element of mortal mind, Herod
  	decreed the death of every male child in order that the
  	man Jesus, the masculine representative of the	                           The conflict
12	spiritual idea, might never hold sway and de-	                                   with purity 
  	prive Herod of his crown. The impersonation of the
  	spiritual idea had a brief history in the earthly life of our
15	Master; but "of his kingdom there shall be no end,"
  	for Christ, God's idea, will eventually rule all nations
  	and peoples — imperatively, absolutely, finally — with di-
18	vine Science. This immaculate idea, represented first
  	by man and, according to the Revelator, last by woman,
  	will baptize with fire; and the fiery baptism will burn up
21	the chaff of error with the fervent heat of Truth and Love,
  	melting and purifying even the gold of human character. 
  	After the stars sang together and all was primeval har-
24	mony, the material lie made war upon the spiritual idea;
  	but this only impelled the idea to rise to the zenith of
  	demonstration, destroying sin, sickness, and death, and
27	to be caught up unto God, — to be found in its divine
  	Principle.

 1	    As the children of Israel were guided triumphantly
  	through the Red Sea, the dark ebbing and flowing tides
 3	of human fear, — as they were led through the	                               Spiritual
  	wilderness, walking wearily through the great	                               guidance 
  	desert of human hopes, and anticipating the promised
 6	joy, — so shall the spiritual idea guide all right desires
  	in their passage from sense to Soul, from a material sense
  	of existence to the spiritual, up to the glory prepared for
 9	them who love God. Stately Science pauses not, but
  	moves before them, a pillar of cloud by day and of fire
  	by night, leading to divine heights. 
12	    If we remember the beautiful description which Sir
  	Walter Scott puts into the mouth of Rebecca the Jewess
  	in the story of Ivanhoe, —

  	                Out of the land of bondage came,
  	          Her fathers' God before her moved,
18	                An awful guide, in smoke and flame, —

  	                In shade and storm the frequent night,

  	Love, and there is no error, no sin, sickness, nor death.

  	    The Revelator had not yet passed the transitional

  	saw a new heaven and a new earth. Through	                               Man's  present

  	are inadequate to take in so wonderful a scene. Were this

  	human sense of space is unable to grasp such a view. 
 3	The Revelator was on our plane of existence, while yet
  	beholding what the eye cannot see, — that which is in-
  	visible to the uninspired thought. This testimony of Holy
 6	Writ sustains the fact in Science, that the heavens and
  	earth to one human consciousness, that consciousness
  	which God bestows, are spiritual, while to another, the
 9	unillumined human mind, the vision is material. This
  	shows unmistakably that what the human mind terms

  	    Accompanying this scientific consciousness was an-

  	of harmony, is ever with men, and they are	                                      of Deity 
  	His people. Thus man was no longer regarded as a mis-
18	erable sinner, but as the blessed child of God. Why? 
  	Because St. John's corporeal sense of the heavens and
  	earth had vanished, and in place of this false sense was
21	the spiritual sense, the subjective state by which he could
  	see the new heaven and new earth, which involve the
  	spiritual idea and consciousness of reality. This is Scrip-
24	tural authority for concluding that such a recognition of
  	being is, and has been, possible to men in this present
  	state of existence, — that we can become conscious,
27	here and now, of a cessation of death, sorrow, and pain. 
  	This is indeed a foretaste of absolute Christian Science. 
  	Take heart, dear sufferer, for this reality of being will
30	surely appear sometime and in some way. There will
  	be no more pain, and all tears will be wiped away. When
  	you read this, remember Jesus' words, "The kingdom of

  	    Think of this, dear reader, for it will lift the sack-
  	cloth from your eyes, and you will behold the soft-
27	winged dove descending upon you. The very	                                    Spiritual
  	circumstance, which your suffering sense	                                    wedlock 
  	deems wrathful and afflictive, Love can make an angel
30	entertained unawares. Then thought gently whispers:
 1	"Come hither! Arise from your false consciousness
  	into the true sense of Love, and behold the Lamb's
 3	wife, — Love wedded to its own spiritual idea." Then
  	cometh the marriage feast, for this revelation will de-
  	stroy forever the physical plagues imposed by material
 6	sense.

SUBTITLE 4 of 6 for above Bible Verse

  	    This sacred city, described in the Apocalypse (xxi. 16)
  	as one that "lieth foursquare" and cometh "down from
 9	God, out of heaven," represents the light and	                             The city
  	glory of divine Science. The builder and	                                             foursquare 
  	maker of this New Jerusalem is God, as we read in the
12	book of Hebrews; and it is "a city which hath founda-
  	tions." The description is metaphoric. Spiritual teach-
  	ing must always be by symbols. Did not Jesus illustrate
15	the truths he taught by the mustard-seed and the prodi-
  	gal? Taken in its allegorical sense, the description of
  	the city as foursquare has a profound meaning. The
18	four sides of our city are the Word, Christ, Christianity,
  	and divine Science; "and the gates of it shall not be shut
  	at all by day: for there shall be no night there." This
21	city is wholly spiritual, as its four sides indicate.

SUBTITLE 2 of 4 for above Bible Verse

12	    There was no temple, — that is, no material structure
  	in which to worship God, for He must be worshipped
  	in spirit and in love. The word temple also	                                        The shrine
15	means body. The Revelator was familiar	                                        celestial 
  	with Jesus' use of this word, as when Jesus spoke of his
  	material body as the temple to be temporarily rebuilt
18	(John ii. 21). What further indication need we of the
  	real man's incorporeality than this, that John saw
  	heaven and earth with "no temple [body] therein"? 
21	This kingdom of God "is within you," — is within
  	reach of man's consciousness here, and the spiritual
  	idea reveals it. In divine Science, man possesses this
24	recognition of harmony consciously in proportion to his
  	understanding of God.

SUBTITLE 3 of 4 for above Bible Verse

  	    The term Lord, as used in our version of the Old
27	Testament, is often synonymous with Jehovah, and ex-
  	presses the Jewish concept, not yet elevated	                           Divine sense
  	to deific apprehension through spiritual trans-	                           of Deity 
30	figuration. Yet the word gradually approaches a higher
  	meaning. This human sense of Deity yields to the divine
 1	sense, even as the material sense of personality yields
  	to the incorporeal sense of God and man as the infinite
 3	Principle and infinite idea, — as one Father with His uni-
  	versal family, held in the gospel of Love. The Lamb's
  	wife presents the unity of male and female as no longer
 6	two wedded individuals, but as two individual natures
  	in one; and this compounded spiritual individuality re-
  	flects God as Father-Mother, not as a corporeal being. 
 9	In this divinely united spiritual consciousness, there is no
  	impediment to eternal bliss, — to the perfectibility of
  	God's creation.

12	    This spiritual, holy habitation has no boundary
  	nor limit, but its four cardinal points are:  first, the
  	Word of Life, Truth, and Love; second,	                                         The city of
15	the Christ, the spiritual idea of God; third,	                                 our God 
  	Christianity, which is the outcome of the divine Prin-
  	ciple of the Christ-idea in Christian history; fourth,
18	Christian Science, which to-day and forever interprets
  	this great example and the great Exemplar. This city
  	of our God has no need of sun or satellite, for Love
21	is the light of it, and divine Mind is its own interpreter. 
  	All who are saved must walk in this light. Mighty
  	potentates and dynasties will lay down their honors
24	within the heavenly city. Its gates open towards light
  	and glory both within and without, for all is good, and
  	nothing can enter that city, which "defileth, . . . or
27	maketh a lie." 
  	    The writer's present feeble sense of Christian Science
  	closes with St. John's Revelation as recorded by the
30	great apostle, for his vision is the acme of this Science

  	death, I will fear no evil:  for [LOVE] is with me; [LOVE'S]
12	rod and [LOVE'S] staff they comfort me.

    18    of [LOVE] for ever.

INTRODUCTION To Psalms 23 verses 1-6

Love and Divine Love substituted for the original words sheds light on the spi...ritual sense of Diety

In the following Psalm one word shows, though faintly, the light which Christian Science throws on the Scriptures by substituting for the corporeal sense, the incorporeal or spiritual sense of Deity: —  


BIBLE VERSE for Psalm XXIII 

[DIVINE LOVE] is my shepherd; I shall not want.  [LOVE] maketh me to lie down in green pastures: [LOVE] leadeth me beside the still waters.  [LOVE] restoreth my soul [spiritual sense]:  [LOVE] lead-eth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. 

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:  for [LOVE] is with me; [LOVE'S] rod and [LOVE'S] staff they comfort me. [LOVE] prepareth a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:  [LOVE] anointeth my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house [the consciousness] of [LOVE] for ever.
