Chapter II - Atonement And Eucharist

Injustice to the Saviour

55:1
tained any other sense of being and religion than theirs?

The advancing century, from a deadened sense of the

invisible God, to-day subjects to unchristian comment and

usage the idea of Christian healing enjoined by Jesus; but

this does not affect the invincible facts.

Perhaps the early Christian era did Jesus no more

injustice than the later centuries have bestowed upon

the healing Christ and spiritual idea of being. Now

that the gospel of healing is again preached by the

wayside, does not the pulpit sometimes scorn it? But

that curative mission, which presents the Saviour in a

clearer light than mere words can possibly do, cannot be

left out of Christianity, although it is again ruled out of

the synagogue.

55:15
Truth's immortal idea is sweeping down the centuries,

gathering beneath its wings the sick and sinning. My

weary hope tries to realize that happy day, when man shall

recognize the Science of Christ and love his neighbor as

himself, – when he shall realize God's omnipotence and

the healing power of the divine Love in what it has done

and is doing for mankind. The promises will be ful-

filled. The time for the reappearing of the divine healing

is throughout all time; and whosoever layeth his earthly

all on the altar of divine Science, drinketh of Christ's

cup now, and is endued with the spirit and power of

Christian healing.

55:27
In the words of St. John: "He shall give you another

Comforter, that he may abide with you forever." This

Comforter I understand to be Divine Science.
