360 Perhaps the early Christian era did Jesus no more injustice than the advancing centuries have bestowed upon the ideal Christ. Now that the Gospel of Healing is again preached by the wayside, does not the pulpit scorn the message? But that curative mission, which presents the Saviour in a clearer light than mere words can possibly do, cannot be lost, although it may again be ruled out of the synagogue.

Christ's immortal ideal will sweep down the centuries, gathering beneath its wings the sick and sinning. My

weary hope tries to realize that happy day, when all shall recognize his reappearing, love their neighbors as themselves, and acknowledge the healing power of divine Love, in what it has done and can do for mankind. The promises will be fulfilled. The time for the reappearing of this divine idea of healing is now; and whosoever lays his earthly all on the altar of Christian Science, may to-day drink of Christ's cup and be baptized with his baptism.
