Her young men are offermg their olutionary discovery of Christian Sci- ence. The second chapter of Genesis, containing the Adam and Eve narra- tive, is seen to be a new and different record of creation, separate and dis- tinct from that covered in the pre- ceding chapter. ists have regarded the record of the creation of Adam from the dust, and of Eve from Adam’s side, as an am- plification of that statement in the first chapter: ‘So God created man in his own image.” But revelation plainly shows the error of this, To begin with, the two records are dis- tinctly separate documents, called the Elophistic and the Jehovistic, because in the first chapter the creator is called Elohim, God, and in the sec- end, Jehovah, or Lord God, the Jew- ish tribal name for Deity. The first record is positively closed. God’s work ds done, His creation is good, and eternal harmony reigns. Do we find that God ever changed His perfect handiwork? Is there any rec- ord of His having created evil? No. Then whence came the evil, the sick- ness, and the sorrow, the discord, and imperfection, which are visible on al! sides? The sixth verse of the second Heretofore religicn- | | | | chapter solves the problem. We read: | “But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground,” The Mist. What does a mist do? Does it de- stroy, or demolish, or does it only ob- scure? Is it not possible then that the universe today is as perfect as “when the morning stars sang togeth- er,” and that its perfection is hid from our gaze by reason of some ob- scuring sense—some “mystification,” as Science and Health puts it? (p. 523). Material man with his sinful tendencies comes not upon the scene until the mist appears. It follows, therefore, that the evils and inhar- monies which cannot belong to the kingdom of good must be the producr of the realm of mystification. Mysti fieation is ever the polar opposite of urderstanding. Therefore mystific- tion means just this: ignorance. Ig- norance of the facts of creation ig norance of spiritual sense. This is the mist -that seems to go up from the earth and hide from our sight the man and the universe made and seen by God and from this ignorance springs the material view of creatioz. which depicts man as sick and sin- ning, and the universe as discordar, and destructible. : The mission of Jesus was to 2c- quaint humanity with man’s true he itage. His teachings prove that the first chapter of Genesis, and nof the second, contains the ruth of being and sets forth man’s real origin. “Ye Must Be Born Again.” One of the first. of Jesus’ teachings was this: ‘‘Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Can there be an atom cf doubt as to the meaning of this pass- ege? If the material, the Adam-sense of things, constitutes God’s creation why should the Master have declar>. that in order to see this creation, or kingdom, a man must be born again— HEART OF THE SUNSET | | |teeming with good for the blind and|-" thousands upon thousands of cases jtwenty years ago when the United ‘crial, fleshly sense of things is not of| Let us now consider another pic-|States was at war with Spain, words Cod’s creating, when he writes in|ture: A slave to false appetite is|Which have a remarkable prophetic) Romans: “They which are the chil-|brought to one endeavoring to be a | Significance for the days in which we dren of the flesh, these are not the |®ientific Christian, or a Christian Sci-|live. ‘In reply to your question, children of God.” And Jesus drives |€ntist.
