Christian Science teaches that our Lord had no true human body, but to accommodate "to immature ideas of spiritual," Jesus called the body which he raised from the grave "flesh and bones." "HMe wore in part a hutnan form (that is as it seemed to mortal view), being conâ€" ceived by a mortal mother." Again: "In the record of Jesus‘ supposed death we read ‘He bowed his head and gave up the ghost.‘ But this wotf ghost is pneuma. It might be translated mind or air, and the phrase is equivalent to our common statement, ‘He breathed his last.‘ What Jesus gave up was indeed air, an etherealized form of matter; for never did He give up spirit or soul." "His disciples begieved Jesus died while he was_FP‘:A4ien in the sepulchre, whreas, he was alive,deâ€" monstra®ng within the narrow tomb the power of spirit to destroy human **material sense." His human body,-| ‘ therefore was only an appearance and He could not truly have sufferâ€" ed upon the cross,unlesshe had been ! in the condition of mortal mind." | This, indeed, seems to be asserted in ‘Science and Health," which says: 'gesus bore our sins in his body. He knew the mortal error | â€" which constitutes the material body, and could destroy that error; but at thtimc;;bal ium felt our inâ€"‘ i e not conquered all ?' beliefs of the flesh, or his sense â€"of material life, nor had he risen â€"to 3 Mmm God, nor doul it persons in one. It reâ€" 3 to the uhi.g.ol Life, Truth é Love." * Holy Ghost," M prehpans: of sans! Sh. iroie eternal life, trut and love." Compare this stateâ€" ment with John xv1, 13. But does she believe in a personal God, or is ahe a pantheist? Let her own words decide the question. {"In divine science God and the !'”lle mag are inseparable, as princi and its idea." The worldP belie?es in man *persons; but if God is pg:sona{, there is but one person, because there is but one God, His personâ€" ality can only be reflected, not transmitted. God has countiess ideas, as sons and daughters, and they all have frinciple and parentâ€" age. The only proper symbol of God, as son, is mind‘s infinite idea. “rhe:t is this idea? â€" Who shall behold it? The idea is God‘s own image, spiritual, infinite. Even eternity can never reveal the whole of God, since thereis no limit to mind or its reflections." _ What is crudely expressed here is Schelling‘s philosopheme that God attains to selfâ€"conscious personality only in man. We will find this expressed even more distinctly when we conâ€" sider the eschatology of Christian Science. The Christian Science view is this: Principle is God in the abstract; idea or man, is God personified. Man is God‘s mirror, in which he sees Himself reflected and comes to a consciousness of Himself, ITS RELATIONS TOWARDS CHRIST The next thing we will examine is the Christology of Christian Science, This has been done so well and thoroughly by Rev P C Wolcott, B D, in his essay on Christian Science that I cannot do better than state his conclusions in his own language. He says: "The language of Chrisâ€" tian Science with reference to the Lord Jesus Christ is always reverent and guarded. His virgin birth is distinctlyasserted,and he is declared to be the great master and exâ€" pounder of the science of metaphysiâ€" cal healing. As might be anticipatâ€" ed, however, the strange ideas of divinity which are inseparable from this system give to our author‘s teachinf regarding the person and work of our Lord a novelty and strangeness which cannot be reconâ€" ciled with the historic conception of the incarnation and atonement. In the first place, a distinction is made between %esus and the Son of Mary, and the Christ, by which it is made to appear that the invisible Christ was incorporeal, whereas, Jesus was a corporeal or bodily existence.‘ Jesus of Nazareth was the most scientific man that ever trod the globe. He plunged beneath the material surface of things, and found their spiritual cause, and "The Christ is the divinity of the man Jesus. Jesus was a godlike and glorified man,‘ and ‘the Christ dwelt forever in the bosom of the principle of the man Jesus.‘ While ‘he expressed the highest type in that age which a fleshy form could express‘ and ‘was the highest human concept of the perfect man,‘ He was, after all, only ‘a human corâ€" poreal concept.‘ This dual personâ€" ality, or the seen and the unseen, the Christ and Jesus, continued until the master‘s ascension, when the human, the corporeal concept,or Jesus disappeared, while his invisâ€" ible self, or Christ, continued to exist in theeternal order of divine science, taking away the sins of the world, as the Christ had always done, even before the human Jesus was incarnate to mortal eyes." ‘“w"l“ that have been if "He ‘These three are all natu to His creatures? first, | the mortal error which ‘ constitutes|as Mr, Peede went on t & fi# Science doctrine of| the material body and could destroy | itlustrated his points by 3 e triune personality of| that error?" amples of cures wrought 3 denied. _ In her comment on STRANGE CoNCcEPTION. parts of the world as re 4 ‘-"}-“.‘*.5;‘:.!-‘!&“?: lthdi.t:lttound;fiud -a'.: those claimed by th name Elohim is in the plural; conception of our Lord‘s‘nature Scientists, this plurality of spirit does not imply | EAgy can have in the face of all nerrieniercrnaliitteeeicacame THEOLOGICAL ASPECTS. of ~Christian _ Science. ; "Scienceâ€"and Health" to gosgel of death and‘ harmonizes with the fituent order of things, the other is the gospel of life, of glorified organic life to be fully realized at the second coming of Christ, when "He shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conâ€" formed to the body of His glory, acâ€" cording to the working whereby He is able even to subject all things unâ€" to Himself." The whole theological mol Christian Science is inâ€" lelity of the rankest type. It has _ _ "This depraved mortality, misâ€" named mind, must become extinct and so man would be annihilated, were it not for the spiritual means of indissulable connection with God, which Jesus brought to light. In His resurrection and ascension He showed that a mortal man is not the real essence of manhood ; and thus unreal mortality disappears in the presence of reality." It is blasâ€" phethy to call this Christianity. The total separation of spirit from the so called clogs of matter in the Gosâ€" pel the devil preaches, The introâ€" duction of spirit more and more inâ€" to the realm of matter until spint shall glorify matter is the gospel that Christ preaches. The one is the The resurrection is declared to be the "spiritualization of thought," "hell is mortal belief," "heavenâ€" not a locality, but a state in which all the manifestations of mind are harmonious and immortal," and the judgment is denied in the following language. "No finaljudgment aâ€" waits mortals; for the judgment day of wisdom comes hourly by whicf) mortal man is divested of all materâ€" ial error." _ Man‘s immortality is based on his preâ€"existence. "If man did not exist," says "Science and Health," "before the material organâ€" ization began, he could not exist after the body is disintegrated." Furthermore, the immortality which Christian Science says is the inâ€" evitable destiny of all human beings seems to involve the absorption of personal existence in the fountain of life or force called Divine Principle. _ On the doctrines of sin and salvaâ€" tion "Science and Health" uttersno uncertain sound. Evil is said to be "the awful deception and unreality of existence." "Man .is incapable of sin, sickness and death, inasmuch as he derives his essence from God, and possesses buta single original or underived power. â€" Hernce the real man cannot depart from holiâ€" ness. Nor can God, by Whom man was evolved, engender the capacity orfreedom to sin." "Man is the expression of God‘s being. If ever there was a moment when man exâ€" pressed not this perfection, he could not have expressed God ; and there would have been a time when Deity was without entity, being." UNCHRISTIAN AND ANTIâ€"CHRISTIAN. Since, according to Christian Science, the material personality which suffers, sins and dies, is not the man, the image and likeness of truth, but man‘s counterfeit, the likeness of error, sin sickness and death," man does not need an atonâ€" ing Savior. Christian Science de clares that "the material blood of Jesus was no more efficacious to cleanse from sin, when it was shed upon theâ€" ‘accursed tree,‘ than when it was flowing in his veins, as he went daily about his Father‘s busiâ€" ness."
