" May we unloose the latchets of his Christliness,
inherit his legacy of love, and reach the fruition of his promise: "If ye
abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it
shall be done unto you."

In the first century of the Christian era Jesus went about doing good. The
evangelists of those days wandered about. Christ, or the spiritual idea,
appeared to human consciousness as the man Jesus. At the present epoch the
human concept of Christ is based on the incorporeal divine Principle of
man, and Science has elevated this idea and established its rules in
consonance with their Principle. Hear this saying of our Master, "And I, if
I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me."
The ideal of God is no longer impersonated as a waif or wanderer; and Truth
is not fragmentary, disconnected, unsystematic, but concentrated and
immovably fixed in Principle. The best spiritual type of Christly method
for uplifting human thought and imparting divine Truth, is stationary
power, stillness, and strength; and when this spiritual ideal is made our
own, it becomes the model for human action.
St. Paul said to the Athenians, "For in Him we live, and move, and have our
being." This statement is in substance identical with my own: "There is no
life, truth, substance, nor intelligence in matter." It is quite clear that
as yet this grandest verity has not been fully demonstrated, but it is
nevertheless true.
