CHAPTER I. 
 
 NEW JERUSALEM. 
 
 Therefore thus saith the Lord; I am 
 returned to Jerusalem with mercies : my 
 house shall be built in it, saith the Lord 
 of hosts, and a line shall be stretched 
 forth upon Jerusalem. 
 
 (Zechariah i:i6). 
 
 And he hath cast the lot for them, and 
 his hand hath divided it unto them by 
 line; they shall possess it forever, from 
 generation to generation shall they 
 dwell therein. (Isaiah 34:17). 
 
 What is known as the"Harlem Line," 
 proclaimed by the Harlem grants and 
 charters, issued by authority of the 
 King of England (1666-1686), re- 
 corded in the office of the Secretary 
 of State, Albany, N. Y., ratified and 
 confirmed by acts of the New York 
 Legislature,^ stretches forth upon the 
 
 X. Laws of 1772, 1775, 1820, and 1823. 
 
 s 
 
City of New York from Seventy-fourth 
 Street on the East River to One Hun- 
 dred and Twenty-ninth Street on the 
 Hudson. 
 
 The sceptre shall not depart from 
 Judah, nor a lawgiver from between 
 his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto 
 him shall the gathering of the people 
 be. (Genesis 49:10). 
 
 For, lo, the days come, saith the Lord, 
 that I will bring again the captivity of 
 my people Israel and Judah, saith the 
 Lord; and I will cause them to return to 
 the land that I gave to their fathers, and 
 they shall possess it. (Jeremiah 30:3). 
 
 Then shall the children of Judah and 
 the children of Israel be gathered to- 
 gether, and appoint themselves one head, 
 and they shall come up out of the land; 
 for great shall be the day of Jezreel. 
 (Hosea i:ii). 
 
 The descendants of the original Har- 
 lem Patentees have been gathered to- 
 gether, and appointed themselves One 
 Head. 
 
 So I prophesied as he commanded me, 
 and the breath came into them, and they 
 lived, and stood up upon their feet, an 
 exceeding great army. (Ezekiel 37:10). 
 
 6 
 
Breath has come into thousands of 
 descendants of the Harlem Patentees, — 
 their lineage proved; they live and 
 stand "up upon their feet," more than 
 forty thousand in all, — "an exceeding 
 great army." 
 
 And he shall set up an ensign for the 
 nations, and shall assemble the outcasts 
 of Israel, and gather together the dis- 
 persed of Judah from the four comers 
 of the earth. (Isaiah 11:12). 
 
 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; in 
 those days it shall come to pass, that 
 ten men shall take hold out of all lang- 
 uages of the nations, even shall take 
 hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, 
 saying. We will go with you: for we 
 have heard that Cod is with you. 
 (Zechariah 8:23). 
 
 The "Jewish World" estimates that 
 every fourth person in the Borough of 
 Manhattan is a Jew or Jewess. Few 
 realize that the Jewish tide of immigra- 
 tion for the past twenty years has set 
 steadily toward the City of New York, 
 until to-day nearly six hundred thou- 
 sand Jews dwell within its limits; and 
 fewer still appreciate the fact that while 
 
 7 
 
these numbers are steadily increasing, 
 the population of Jerusalem, by the offi- 
 cial census of 1895, was made up of 
 not more than 25,322 Jews. 
 
 Statistics show the incoming to New 
 York of 561,070 Jews between October 
 I, 1884, and July 31, 1902. Of these, 
 408,895 permanently settled in the city. 
 
 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 that the Lord shall beat off from the 
 channel of the river tinto the stream 
 of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one 
 by one, O ye children of Israel. 
 
 (Isaiah 27:12). 
 
 And I will bring them, and they shall 
 
 dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and 
 
 they shall be my people, and I will be 
 
 their God, in truth and in righteousness. 
 
 (Zechariah 8:8). 
 
 . . . half of the city shall go forth into 
 
 captivity, and the residue of the people 
 
 shall not be cut off from the city. 
 
 (Zechariah 14:2). 
 
 Is the first city, in the first country 
 of the world, the long-looked for city 
 of prophecy? 
 
 I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: 
 and it shall be no more, until he comes 
 
whose right it is; and I will give it him. 
 
 (Ezekiel 21:27). 
 
 And after Abimelech there arose to 
 
 defend Israel Tola... (Judges 10:1). 
 
 Attention is called in the following 
 pages to the true history of the manner 
 in which Henry Pennington Toler, a 
 resident of the City of New York, and 
 a citizen of the United States of Amer- 
 ica, entered upon an enterprise vast in 
 its proportions, and carried on the work 
 incident to the recovery of the Harlem 
 rights and properties, under the posi- 
 tive conviction that the present City 
 of New York is the prophesied "City 
 of Truth," — the New Jerusalem. Let 
 judgment be withheld for a time, 
 
 . . . for if this counsel or this work be 
 of men, it will come to naught. 
 
 But if it be of God, ye can not over- 
 throw it; lest hnply ye be found even to 
 fight against God. (Acts 5:38-39)- 
 
CHAPTER II. 
 
 THE APPOINTED WORK. 
 
 A little over two years ago, one of 
 the descendants of the Harlem Pat- 
 entees, and her attorney, came to New 
 York from Chicago, seeking financial 
 assistance in an effort to recover cer- 
 tain Harlem lands. The claimant had 
 been engaged for several years in the 
 collection of evidence tending to prove 
 her descent, and that of thirty-nine 
 others, the alleged sole owners of the 
 lands in question. 
 
 It was some months before legal in- 
 vestigation of the evidence submitted', 
 and a close scrutiny of the city and 
 state records, disclosed the fact that the 
 early conception of the extent of the 
 property involved, and the number of 
 
 10 
 
those entitled to an interest therein, had 
 been meager in the extreme. It was 
 discovered that the lands sought to be 
 recovered were but a small part of a 
 much larger tract, including extensive 
 built-up portions of New York City, 
 and that, instead of forty persons, as 
 alleged, the entire number of descend- 
 ants from twenty-three original pat- 
 entees of the year 1666, through both 
 the male and female lines, easily con- 
 jectured to be forty thousand in num- 
 ber at the present day, were each and 
 all, as members of a Corporation, vi- 
 tally interested in the Harlem lands, 
 and entitled to legal notice of every 
 move to be taken in the recovery of 
 the same. 
 
 To proceed further in an undertak- 
 ing which had grown in a few short 
 months to vast proportions; to secure 
 the legal proofs of the lineage of forty 
 thousand living descendants of the Har- 
 lem Patentees throughout a period of 
 more than two hundred and fifty years; 
 to supply the time, labor and funds, 
 necessary to locate each individual of 
 
 11 
 
the forty thousand dispersed over the 
 known world, and, finally, in the face 
 of the Statute of Limitations, to expect 
 the courts to overturn the title to one- 
 half of the present City of New York, 
 presented a problem fraught with all 
 the elements of insanity itself, — and 
 yet, from the time when the realization 
 of the immensity of the undertaking 
 had fully dawned, the strangest sense 
 of inward admonition, in the face of 
 overwhelming odds, urged the imme- 
 diate entrance upon the great work, 
 until, finallj^ an unaccountable feeling 
 that a wrong must be righted, and that 
 more than personal interests were in- 
 volved, carried the decision of the 
 question to a higher tribunal. 
 
 At the close of an earnest prayer to 
 God for guidance, — for some sign to 
 determine the question at issue, in the 
 presence of a witness, after declaration 
 made that the Good Book alone could 
 solve the problem, — the answer was 
 found by opening to the tenth chapter 
 of Deuteronomy, at the eleventh verse : 
 
 12 
 
And the Lord said unto me, Arise, 
 take thy journey before the people, that 
 they may go in and possess the land 
 which I sware imto their fathers to give 
 unto them.

 Born in 1864, and tracing back on 
 the paternal side through Lord Nor- 
 bury, of Ireland, to the time of Wil- 
 liam the Conqueror (1066), thence by- 
 direct line to the house of Toulouse, of 
 France; and on the maternal side 
 through a line of Revolutionary pa- 
 triots, including successive Governors 
 of the State of New Jersey, the leader 
 of the enterprise to recover the Har- 
 lem rights and properties may justly 
 lay claim to an illustrious ancestry. 
 Brought up with all that luxury could 
 proffer, successful to a degree in 
 worldly affairs, blessed with a wife, 
 children, and fortune, — one feature 
 alone was wanting to fill the cup of 
 earthly happiness, — health, — the one 
 
 13 
 
crowning essential of life had failed, 
 and following this failure came the 
 conviction, evolved by an experience of 
 eight years with medical science, that 
 relief by drugs was not to be expected. 
 
 Then it was that an involuntary 
 transition from things secular to mat- 
 ters religious, as it were, brought about 
 by the healing influence of Truth, oc- 
 curred in a life theretofore devoted to 
 worldly ends alone. 
 
 At the close of the year 1898, the 
 author of these pages, — with all the 
 skepticism born of irreligion, and 
 scoffing at the treatment administered, 
 — awoke, a well man. 
 
 The explanation of the so-called 
 miracle, while simple in itself, tended 
 to elucidate the healings of Jesus and 
 the apostles. 
 
 Was this force of Spirit, that healed 
 "congestion of the blood vessels," in 
 the year of our Lord eighteen hundred 
 and ninety-eight, the same power that 
 opened the eyes of blind Bartimeus by 
 the wayside, in the early part of the 
 first century; and caused the cripple to 
 
 14 
 
leap for joy at the Beautiful gate of 
 the temple? 
 
 Did Christ's command "Heal the 
 sick" portend a literal following in his 
 footsteps without recourse to drugs? 
 Are the material laws at last to sur- 
 render to the laws of Spirit? Has a 
 legacy slumbered through the centur- 
 ies, and can the works that Jesus did 
 be accomplished to-day through the 
 understanding of the Principle he lived 
 and demonstrated, as revealed in Chris- 
 tian Science? 
 
 Verily, verily, I say unto you. He that 
 believeth on me, the works that I do 
 shall he do also ; and greater works than 
 these shall he do; because I go unto my 
 Father. (John 14:12). 
 
 To learn to apply this new force in 
 human affairs became the mainspring 
 of life. An exhaustive study of all 
 literature bearing upon the subject fol- 
 lowed, while the teachings of the Bible 
 appeared in a new light. The more 
 this Christ-Science was studied, the 
 more wonderful it grew. That re- 
 markable volume, Science and Health, 
 
 16 
 
with Key to the Scriptures, the "little 
 book" of Revelation; 
 
 ...Take it and eat it up; and it shall 
 make thy belly bitter, but shall be in 
 thy mouth sweet as honey, 
 
 (Revelation 10:9), 
 
 literally eaten up by Christian Scien- 
 tists; the "Comforter" of prophecy; 
 
 . . . whom the Father will send in my 
 name, he shall teach you all things, 
 
 (John 14:26), 
 
 not only opens the door of human un- 
 derstanding to the hidden sayings and 
 "dark sentences" of the Bible, but 
 brings to light — 
 
 . . . things which have been kept secret 
 from the foundation of the world, 
 
 (Matthew 13:3s). 
 
 among others, that all is Mind and 
 Mind's Idea, — there is no life in mat- 
 ter and man is immortal, — a mental, 
 not physical being. 
 
 With misgivings at first, the healing 
 of simple cases alone was attempted. 
 Within a year, however, as many as 
 forty patients were daily receiving 
 
 16 
 
treatment; the healing of all manner 
 of diseases, organic and functional, 
 bearing witness to the astonishing fact 
 that a Principle had been discovered 
 known to Moses and the prophets, al- 
 though hidden from the world since 
 the early centuries of the Christian era. 
 
 As the understanding of this Christ- 
 Principle developed, the power to re- 
 flect Truth increased in proportion, 
 until such diseases as valvular heart 
 trouble, congestion of the lungs, hip 
 disease, chronic stomach troubles, loco- 
 motor ataxia, and such habits as drunk- 
 enness, and the use of drugs, one and 
 all readily yielded to treatment. 
 
 Of the many healings effected, two 
 cases will serve to illustrate this power 
 of divine Mind over matter. The first 
 was a case of water on the knee, where 
 the patient, as a result of a trolley ac- 
 cident, had been lying for ten weeks 
 with the limb swollen to double its 
 normal size, suffering excrutiating pain. 
 Seven physicians had passed judgment 
 on the case, pronouncing it of the most 
 serious nature, some even maintaining 
 
 17 
 
the patient would be a cripple for life. 
 The effect of the first treatment was 
 immediate. In twenty-four hours the 
 swelling had decreased until the limb 
 was almost normal in size. The fol- 
 lowing day the patient could bend the 
 knee, and on the fifth day after the 
 first treatment all sign of the trouble 
 had disappeared. 
 
 The second was a case of Graves 
 disease, one of the rarest known to ma- 
 teria medica, deemed incurable, which 
 yielded in like manner to the alterative 
 effects of Truth. In three months the 
 trembling of the hands ceased, protrud- 
 ing eyes receded, and other symptoms 
 resulting from what is termed "thyroid 
 poisoning" disappeared, — a complete 
 return to a normal condition of har- 
 mony. 
 
 This all-powerful influence of Mind, 
 successfully applied in the healing of 
 disease, became as well the prominent 
 feature of control in business matters. 
 Convinced of the Truth embraced in 
 Christian Science, its adoption as a re- 
 ligion brought with it from partner and 
 
 18 
 
friend of years' standing the request 
 for the dissolution of an eminently suc- 
 cessful Wall Street firm, necessitating 
 the re-establishment of a business 
 career at a time when, through ignor- 
 ance of, this new-old religion, preju- 
 dice was at its height. For two years 
 thereafter, every step guided by the 
 power of Life, Truth and Love, suc- 
 cess was never in doubt. During the 
 period mentioned, an incident occurred 
 on the floor of the New York Stock 
 Exchange worthy of mention as an 
 illustration of the effect of the imper- 
 sonal power of Truth. 
 
 While seated for a few moments 
 during business hours, quietly reflect- 
 ing divine Love through the channels 
 of thought, a broker in the next seat 
 turned and said: "I have had neuritis 
 in my arm for several days, and do 
 you know, it has entirely disappeared 
 while you have been sitting here, — I 
 believe it is that Science of yours." 
 
 While the proofs of the efficacy of 
 the God-thought were daily in evi- 
 dence throughout all transactions on 
 
 19 
 
the New York Stock Exchange, the 
 result of its application to the pur- 
 chase and sale of securities was never 
 so prominent as on the 9th day of 
 May, 1 90 1, the date of the greatest 
 panic, while it lasted. Wall Street had 
 ever experienced. 
 
 For months, amid the wildest specu- 
 lation, stock-values had been steadily 
 rising, until excitement in financial cir- 
 cles had reached fever-heat. Early on 
 the day mentioned, reaction setting in, 
 and prices beginning to fall, a scene 
 of indescribable panic followed. The 
 god of fear turned men to maniacs, 
 and, in the wild scramble to liquidate, 
 confusion worse confounded ended in 
 pandemonium. Amid such surround- 
 ings, through the realization that "per- 
 fect Love casteth out fear," orders re- 
 ceived for the purchase and sale of 
 more than fifty-six thousand shares of 
 stock, distributed throughout the list, 
 were personally executed under the 
 law of harmony. 
 
 This Christ-Principle, applied to busi- 
 ness, and effecting the cures of water 
 20 
 
on the knee and Graves disease, was 
 the same reflection of Truth that 
 healed the ten lepers nineteen centuries 
 ago, of whom one only returned to 
 give thanks. Rejected of men in the 
 early part of the first century, and 
 scoffed at to-day by the "wise and 
 prudent," it nevertheless stands forth 
 revealed and demonstrated through 
 the teachings of Christian Science as 
 the second coming of Christ, — 
 
 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the 
 world cannot receive, because it seeth 
 him not, neither knoweth him: but ye 
 know him; for he dwelleth with you, 
 and shall be in you. (John 14:17). 
 
 *t A^ y > 
 
 Without further hesitation, accept- 
 ing the sign given, in obedience to the 
 command, 
 
 Arise, take thy journey before the 
 people, that they may go in and pos- 
 
 21 
 
sess the land which I sware unto their 
 fathers to give unto them, 
 
 (Deuteronomy io:il), 
 
 the great work of the recovery of the 
 Harlem rights and properties was in- 
 augurated. 
 
 And after the manner of the com- 
 ing of the first Bible leading came 
 the 44th verse of the 32 d chapter of 
 Jeremiah : 
 
 2. 
 Men shall bu^ fields for money, and 
 subscribe evidences, and seal them, and 
 take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, 
 and in the places about Jerusalem, and 
 in the cities of Judah, and in the cities 
 of the mountains, and in the cities of 
 the valley, and in the cities of the south: 
 for I will cause their captivity to return, 
 saith the Lord. 
 
 At first reading, the words of the 
 reference appeared to be utterly with- 
 out application to the Town of New 
 Harlem and its revival into active 
 being; but later, upon reading Dr. 
 Poole's prophetic utterance in his "An- 
 glo-Israel" that "some of these days" 
 the evidences mentioned would be 
 
 22 
 
found, "to the great confusion of the 
 unbelievers, and the great joy of all 
 Bible students, especially the Anglo- 
 Israelites," the interpretation of the 
 passage became a revelation. 
 
 Of the many difficulties standing in 
 the way of a resurrection, as it were, 
 of the Town of New Harlem into its 
 ancient rights and properties, under 
 the patents of the King of England 
 of 1 666- 1 686, and the tracing and 
 locating of forty thousand towns- 
 people, as above described, one of the 
 most formidable proved to be the total 
 disappearance from public view of the 
 Harlem Town and Court records. The 
 absence of these records from the pub- 
 lic depositories was of more than pas- 
 sing significance to the successful re- 
 covery of the Harlem lands and 
 privileges. They contained among 
 other historical, genealogical, and legal 
 records, of the greatest value and im- 
 portance to the descendants of the Har- 
 lem Patentees, and the project in hand, 
 all the deeds, mortgages, wills, and 
 other instruments covering the trans- 
 
 23 
 
fers of the various portions of Harlem 
 lands by the freeholders and inhabi- 
 tants of the Town. Upon the dis- 
 covery that these ancient and valu- 
 able Harlem records were missing, 
 and in the possession or control of 
 the Title Guarantee and Trust Com- 
 pany, of No. 146 Broadway, in the 
 City of New York, for years purposely 
 withdrawn from public view, the hid- 
 den meaning of the reference became 
 plainly apparent. 
 
 These missing Harlem records would 
 undoubtedly disclose how men had 
 bought "fields for money," and had 
 subscribed and sealed "evidences," and 
 taken "witnesses" to the various trans- 
 fers of Harlem lands, while the prom- 
 ise of the closing words, "I will cause 
 their captivity to return, saith the 
 Lord," remains to be fulfilled. 
 
 Twelve times in all, the Word came 
 to open the Scriptures and read, — never 
 twice on the same day, and ever in 
 times of doubt or discouragement, — 
 all between the 15th day of Septem- 
 ber, 1 90 1, the date of the inception of 
 
 24 
 
the Appointed Work, and the 25th 
 day of December following. 
 
 Oppressed with the weight of the 
 magnitude of the undertaking, and im- 
 pressed with its consequences to so 
 many thousands of those interested in 
 the lands and properties, in the ordin- 
 ary routine of business on the floor of 
 the New York Stock Exchange the 
 Word came for the third time to "open 
 and read." Telephoning at once to 
 the one in charge of the instrument at 
 the office, blocks away, also a Scientist, 
 the request was made to "open the 
 Bible and read the first verse seen," — 
 and the 25th verse of the 26th chapter 
 of I Samuel was read in reply: 
 
 3- 
 
 Then Saul said to David, Blessed be 
 thou, my son David: thou shalt both do 
 great things, and also shall still prevail. 
 So David went on his way, and Saul re- 
 turned to his place. 
 
 This reference was accepted as a 
 divine intimation of the success that 
 would attend the work, and that all 
 obstacles would be finally overcome; 
 
 25 
 
and is included among the leadings 
 herewith set forth, although the actual 
 act of opening the Bible was performed 
 by another. 
 
 4- 
 And all Israel from Dan even to Beer- 
 sheba knew that Samuel was established 
 to be a prophet of the Lord. 
 
 (I Samuel 3:20). 
 
 5- 
 
 Hear, O Israel: thou art to pass over 
 Jordan this day, to go in to possess 
 nations greater and mightier than thy- 
 self, cities great and fenced up to heaven. 
 
 A people great and tall, the children 
 of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, 
 and of whom thou hast heard say. Who 
 can stand before the children of AnakI 
 
 Understand therefore this day, that 
 the Lord thy God is he which goeth over 
 before thee; as a consuming lire he shall 
 destroy them, and he shall bring them 
 down before thy face: so shalt thou drive 
 them out, and destroy them quickly, as 
 the Lord hath said unto thee. 
 
 (Deuteronomy 9:1-3). 
 
 6. 
 Neither will I make the feet of Is- 
 rael move any more out of the land 
 which I gave their fathers; only if they 
 
will observe to do according to all that 
 I have commanded them, and according 
 to all the law my servant Moses com- 
 manded them. (II Kings 21:8). 
 
 7. 
 
 All the inhabitants of the hill country 
 from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim, 
 and all the Sidonians, them will I drive 
 out from before the children of Israel: 
 only divide thou it by lot unto the Is- 
 raelites for an inheritance, as I have 
 commanded thee. (Joshua 13:6). 
 
 8. 
 
 Moreover whom he did predestinate 
 them he also called : and whom he called 
 them he also justified: and whom he jus- 
 tified, them he also glorified. 
 
 What shall we then say to these 
 things? If God be for us, who can be 
 against us? (Romans 8:30-31). 
 
 These five individual leadings, typi- 
 fying not only the acquisition, but the 
 permanent occupation of the Harlem 
 lands, and directing their division by 
 lot, — taken in connection virith the won- 
 derful inspiration of what had gone 
 before, — led up to the earnest study 
 of Bible prophecies which followed. 
 
 The book of Zechariah in particular 
 
 27 
 
claimed attention, and in the second 
 and third chapters, upon reading the 
 passages : 
 
 ...Run, speak to this young man, 
 saying Jerusalem shall be inhabited as 
 towns without walls for the multitude 
 of men and cattle therein. 
 
 (Zechariah 2:4). 
 
 ... is not this a brand plucked out of 
 the fire? (Zechariah 3:2). 
 
 . . . behold, I will bring forth my ser- 
 vant the Branch. (Zechariah 3:8). 
 
 a strange influence or sensation was 
 experienced. At first, coming in the 
 nature of a hint, — like the nudge of 
 an elbow, — in effect, conveying the 
 thought reduced to words: "You're 
 that young man, — you're the one, — 
 your're the Branch," the feeling grew 
 to possibility, and then to probability, 
 when a struggle began to overcome the 
 indescribable awe attaching to the pos- 
 sibility of a personal connection with 
 matters of Holy Writ, and the fear 
 attendant upon the assumption of the 
 responsibilities involved, should the 
 revelation mentioned prove to be true. 
 A second reading of the lines quoted 
 
 28 
 
served only to redouble the energy and 
 force of the feeling described; until, 
 beset with the deepest veneration for 
 the words of the prophecy, the Bible, 
 as in former like situations, was opened 
 for the word of God upon the subject 
 at the second verse of the sixty-sixth 
 chapter of Isaiah: 
 
 9- 
 
 For all those things hath mine hand 
 made, and all those things have been, 
 saith the Lord: but to this man will I 
 look, even to him that is poor and of a 
 contrite spirit, and trembleth at my 
 word. 
 And again, a few days later, at the 
 
 thirteenth verse of the twenty-eighth 
 
 chapter of Deuteronomy: 
 
 10. 
 
 And the Lord shall make thee the 
 head, and not the tail; 2tnd thou shalt be 
 above only, and thou shalt not be be- 
 neath; if that thou hearken unto the 
 commandments of the Lord thy God, 
 which I commanded thee this day, to 
 observe and do them: 
 
 and finally, at the thirty-sixth and 
 thirty-seventh verses of the eleventh 
 chapter of I Kings: 
 
 29 
 
XI. 
 
 And unto his son will I give one tribe, 
 that David my servant may have a light 
 alway before me in Jerusalem, the city 
 which I have chosen me to put my 
 name there. 
 
 And I will take thee and thou shalt 
 reign according to all that thy soul de- 
 sireth, and shall be king over Israel. 
 
 If the eleven Bible leadings, coming 
 in the manner described, were of 
 divine origin, but one interpretation 
 was possible, namely, that a chosen one 
 had come for a purpose undisclosed, 
 except in the eleventh divinely-revealed 
 Scriptural leading, — the last above set 
 forth, — wherein man and purpose are 
 for the first time joined and clearly de- 
 fined.

 In the year 1666 the Duke of 
 York, brother of Charles II., King 
 of England, through Governor Rich- 
 ard Nicolls, issued a grant or charter 
 to the freeholders and inhabitants of 
 
 30 
 
Harlem, incorporating the Town of 
 New Harlem as a part or parcel of 
 the greater City of New York, and 
 conveying to the Town, through its 
 Trustees in the charter named, all 
 lands on Manhattan Island north and 
 east of a line stretched by the de- 
 scription of the grant across the City 
 of New York, from 74th Street on the 
 East River to 129th Street on the 
 Hudson. 
 
 This line, commonly known as the 
 "Harlem Line," crossing the city as 
 described, served to divide the lands 
 of the freeholders and inhabitants of 
 Harlem on the south from the lands 
 of the City of New York, and formed, 
 as well, the southern boundary of what 
 was known as the sixth or "out- ward" 
 of the city. 
 
 A second grant by the same author- 
 ity, in 1667, and a third, issued in 
 1686, by command of the English 
 King, through Governor Thomas Don- 
 gan, ratified and confirmed the first 
 mentioned grant. 
 
 Between the years 1772 and 1824, 
 
 31 
 
the line in question became the sub- 
 ject of Colonial and State legislation. 
 In the first year mentioned, an act 
 of the Colonial Assembly was passed 
 appointing commissioners to "settle 
 and ascertain" the line of division be- 
 tween the "Township of Harlem" and 
 the lands of the "Mayor and Com- 
 monalty of the City of New York." 
 On the 3d of April, 1775, a further 
 act was passed confirming the pro- 
 ceedings of the commissioners, ap- 
 pointed by the preceding act, and set- 
 tling the line as it runs to-day under 
 the ancient grants and charters above 
 described; while in 1820 and 1823, 
 acts of the Legislature of the State of 
 New York, supplementary in nature, 
 were passed in reference to the estab- 
 lishment of the line mentioned. Mani- 
 festly, therefore: — 
 
 In 1666 the King of England 
 stretched forth a line over the City 
 
 of New York. 
 
 In 520 B. C, Zechariah the Prophet 
 wrote of the line that should stretch 
 forth upon Jerusalem. 
 
 32 
 
Therefore thus saith the Lord; I am 
 returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my 
 house shall be built in it, saith the Lord 
 of hosts, and a line shall be stretched 
 forth upon Jerusalem. (Zechariah i :i6). 
 
 Is New York, with its famous Line, 
 the prophesied "City of Truth," — the 
 New Jerusalem? Will the City of 
 New York,— in the land of "Shinar," 
 — (the land of two rivers, — East and 
 Hudson, — Zechariah 5:11), experience 
 in the restoration of the Harlem rights 
 and properties, the overturning pre- 
 dicted by Ezekiel the Prophet? 
 
 I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: 
 
 and it shall be no more, until he come 
 
 whose right it is ; and I will give it him. 
 
 (Ezekiel 21:27). 
 
 Three months had now passed in 
 the work of the recovery of the Har- 
 lem lands, and progress made suffi- 
 cient to disclose the immensity of the 
 undertaking, and to develop a number 
 of serious obstacles to its successful 
 accomplishment. 
 
 Under the principles of the English 
 Common and Statute Laws, adopted 
 by the decisions of the higher Ameri- 
 
 33 
 
can courts, it was discovered that the 
 ancient grants and charters of 1686 
 formed a Corporation, as above de- 
 scribed, known as the "Town of 
 New Harlem." That under these same 
 grants a gigantic Trust was also 
 formulated which had never termin- 
 ated, and would never end except, 
 perhaps, by act of the Body-Corpor- 
 ate itself, or by decree of some Court 
 of competent jurisdiction. The Town 
 of New Harlem, therefore, until the 
 happening of such an event, had never 
 been, and would never be, erased from 
 the civic map. The Town-Corpora- 
 tion was the owner of all lands above 
 the "Harlem Line" not previously le- 
 gally alienated, and under this princi- 
 ple of law, in the settlement of the 
 Harlem rights and properties, the va- 
 lidity of the titles to one-half of the 
 City of New York would necessarily 
 be called in question. 
 
 Under these conditions, and among 
 other essentials of the undertaking, 
 as many as possible of the forty 
 thousand living descendants must 
 
 34 
 
first be traced through parents, grand- 
 parents, and great-grandparents, back 
 to the Patentees of 1666, and the Hne- 
 age of each recorded and proved. 
 
 An outline of the nature of the Har- 
 lem claims must, secondly, be brought 
 to the attention of each descendant, 
 traced as indicated, with legal notice 
 of the steps taken and to be taken in 
 their recovery; and thirdly, all the 
 parties in interest gathered together 
 in a Town meeting, and such meeting 
 held within the limits of the present 
 City of New York itself, before an 
 appeal to the courts could be instituted. 
 
 To meet the remarkable, not to say 
 discouraging, exigencies of the situa- 
 tion above described ; to face the odium 
 attaching to the leadership of an en- 
 terprise on its face revolutionary in 
 character; to bring to public notice 
 the flaws in practically all the titles 
 to lands above 74th Street in New 
 York City, one and all guaranteed by 
 the most wealthy and powerful Trust 
 and Title Companies in the world, 
 
 35 
 
must, perforce, be accomplished by di- 
 vine help alone. 
 
 If the opening of the twentieth cen- 
 tury marks the "latter days" of error, 
 and the advent of the New Jerusalem 
 consciousness, or reign of Spirit ; if the 
 time is when: 
 
 The sceptre shall not depart from 
 
 Judah, nor a lawgiver from between 
 
 his feet, unto Shiloh come; and unto 
 
 him shall the gathering of the people be, 
 
 (Genesis 49:10); 
 
 if, as Professor Totten declares, "the 
 Eastern Passover full moon of April 
 11-12, 1903, which was eclipsed as it 
 arose at sunset, marked absolute mid- 
 night, or 'low twelve' on the universal 
 dial of the ages, and that from now 
 on the clock will be striking XII for 
 1,147 (p'^^s) days, with so many 
 punctuated events of note that no one 
 will need to misunderstand them;" if 
 it be true that 
 
 . . . half of the city shall go forth into 
 
 captivity, and the residue of the people 
 
 shall not be cut off from the city. 
 
 (Zechariah 14:2). 
 
 36 
 
is the herculean task of the revelation 
 of the "New Jerusalem" imposed on 
 one nominated to be a "prophet of the 
 Lord," by the leadings described, and 
 the voice that called Samuel more 
 than three thousand years ago, heard 
 again at the dawn of the fufillment of 
 prophecy? Even at midnight on the 
 24th day of December, 1901, within 
 that sacred Peniel where the human 
 wrestled with the Divine, in silent 
 thought an heartfelt appeal went forth 
 to omnipotent Mind to grant to one 
 willing and ready to serve and suffer 
 in the sacred cause of Christ, — an un- 
 mistakable sign, — one that would for- 
 ever dispel the doubts surrounding the 
 leadership of an undertaking fraught 
 with such vital and far reaching con- 
 sequences to the human race. And for 
 the twelfth time the "Word," which 
 was "with God" and "was God" (St. 
 John 1:1), said "open and read," and 
 the opening and reading were at the 
 tenth chapter of Judges, the first verse. 
 12. 
 And after Abimelech there arose to 
 defend Israel Tola....

^ V- ^ ^ 
 
 Messiah. 
 
 There is but one incarnation. "The 
 coming of Messiah" is the impersonal 
 coming of Christ-Truth, as revealed in 
 Christian Science. "Christ expresses 
 God's spiritual, eternal nature. The 
 name is synonymous with Messiah, 
 and alludes to the spirituality which 
 was taught, illustrated, and demonstra- 
 ted in the life whereof Christ-Jesus 
 was the embodiment" (S. & H., p. 
 333)- 
 
 Son of man. 
 
 The coming of the "Son of man," 
 to which Jesus referred (Matthew 24: 
 27), is the coming of the appointed one 
 (Son) of God's ideas (the generic- 
 man, ) to perform a certain work. Even 
 as Jacob prophesied three thousand six 
 hundred years ago : ". . . unto him shall 
 the gathering of the people be" (Gene- 
 sis 49:10). And when this event oc- 
 curs the news will spread very rapidly : 
 "For as the lightning cometh out of 
 
 38 
 
the east, and shineth even unto the 
 
 west; so shall the coming of the Son 
 
 of man be" (Matthew 24:27). 
 
 And he said unto me, Like as thou 
 
 canst neither seek out nor know the 
 
 things that are in the deep of the sea: 
 
 even so can no man upon earth see my 
 
 Son, or those that be with him, but in 
 
 the day time. (II Esdras 13:52). 
 
 "In different ages the Divine idea as- 
 sumes different forms, according to 
 humanity's needs" (M.W.,p. 370), and 
 when materiality sinks into insignifi- 
 cance in the elimination of material 
 personality; when the world grows to 
 the realization that "God is spirit," and 
 that . . . "God created man in his own 
 image, in the image of God created he 
 him" (Genesis 1:27), the coming of 
 the "Son of man" will be interpreted 
 in a broader impersonal sense as the 
 coming of the "Christ idea" or under- 
 standing (Son) of God's creation 
 (man), bringing peace to all alike, — 
 the full realization of Life, Truth, and 
 Love, 
 
 . . . my peace I g^ve unto you: not as 
 the world giveth, give I unto you. 
 
 (John 14:27). 
 
Christ was seen, through the false 
 concept of mortals, as flesh and bones. 
 
 For a spirit hath not flesh and bones 
 as ye see me have. (Luke 24:39). 
 
 And yet he spoke of himself as the 
 
 "Son of man." 
 
 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It 
 is expedient for you that I [material 
 personality] go away: for if I [material 
 personality] go not avsray, the Comforter 
 [the realization of Spirit] will not come 
 unto you, but if I depart [the Ego is 
 absent from the body, and present with 
 Truth and Love (S.&H.,p.i4)], I [Spirit- 
 God] will send him unto you. 
 
 (John 16:7). 
 
 JuDAH AND Israel. 
 The word Judah of the Bible has two 
 distinct spiritual interpretations, name- 
 ly : "A corporeal material belief progres- 
 sing and disappearing" ; and "The spir- 
 itual understanding of God and man 
 appearing" (S. & H., p. 589). When 
 Jacob prophesied the "sceptre shall not 
 depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver 
 from between his feet" (Genesis 49: 
 
 40 
 
lo), he foretold that the power should 
 not depart from morUJ mind (a 
 
 "corporeal material belief progressing 
 and disappearing" ) "until Shiloh come." 
 And where in Hosea it says : 
 
 Then shall the children of Judah and 
 the children of Israel be gathered to- 
 gether, and appoint themselves one head, 
 and they shall come up out of the land: 
 for great shall be the day of Jezreel, 
 (Hosea i:il), 
 
 the word "Judah" has a higher signifi- 
 cance. Jesus emanated from the tribe 
 of Judah and was "born of Mary," 
 while Christ "was born of God" (S. 
 & H., p. 332). Mary, therefore, of 
 ^ the tribe of Judah, was the first to 
 perceive the Christ idea with suffi- 
 ciently pure spiritual realization to 
 bring into the seeming material evi- 
 dence her immaculate conception ( "and 
 the Word was made flesh" — ^John i : 
 24), which, through the operation of 
 the so-called human laws, took form in 
 the infant Jesus. 
 
 The word "Judah" therefore, in the 
 passage quoted, is typical of those who, 
 like Mary, first perceive the Christ idea, 
 
 41 
 
— the Truth as revealed in Christian 
 Science ("The spiritual understanding 
 of God and man appearing"). 
 
 While "Judah" has been generally 
 accepted to mean the Jews, — in the 
 spiritual interpretation of the word it 
 refers to no particular race, inasmuch 
 as "God is no respecter of persons" 
 (Acts 10:34). The racial belief dis- 
 tinguishing one class from another is 
 exclusively man-made, and comes pure- 
 ly from association, all in reality be- 
 ing children of God. For the past 
 thirty years the "gathering of the dis- 
 persed of Judah from the four corners 
 of the earth" (Isaiah 11:12) is the 
 result of Spirit working through ave- 
 nues offering least resistance to Truth. 
 These avenues at present find a large 
 representation in the Jewish race, not 
 because men call them Jews, but be- 
 cause the thought sent out into con- 
 sciousness at the time of the crucifix- 
 ion, — "His blood be on us and on 
 our children," — entailed an added per- 
 secution for the centuries to come, 
 amounting in itself to a national curse ; 
 
 42 
 
and this thought becoming a universal 
 law unto itself brought about an in- 
 evitable suffering, — while to human 
 sense unjust and cruel, in reality most 
 salutary to spiritual growth. The suf- 
 fering experienced through the death 
 of pride and other mortal behefs ("I 
 die daily" I Corinthians 15:31) but 
 opens the way for Spirit to enter the 
 consciousness and govern the actions 
 of mankind. Even as the Jews are 
 hated to-day, so is the time at hand 
 when this false sense of contumely will 
 be destroyed through the reflection of 
 divine Love and the descendants of 
 Abraham numbered among the first 
 to imbibe the Truth and to reflect 
 its healing power to others. Then 
 will one who Scientifically understands 
 man be "more precious than fine gold ; 
 even a man than the golden wedge of 
 Ophii-" (Isaiah 13:12), and "ten men 
 . . . even shall take hold of the skirt of 
 him that is a Jew" (Zechariah 8:23). 
 
 The "Children of Israel" are those 
 who, irrespective of sect, race, or color, 
 hear the word of God, — "and they shall 
 
 43 
 
hear my voice" (John io:i6), and are 
 "chosen" from the rest of the world, 
 and led to investigate and see the 
 Truth in Christian Science, awakening 
 to the understanding that he or she 
 Is-Real} — spiritual and not material. 
 
 The Dry Bones. 
 
 The hand of the Lord was upon me, 
 and carried me out in the spirit of the 
 Lord, and set me down in the midst of 
 the valley which was full of bones. 
 
 And caused me to pass by them round 
 about: and, behold, there were very 
 many in the open valley; and, lo, they 
 were very dry. 
 
 And he said unto me. Son of man, can 
 these bones live? And I answered, O 
 Lord God, thou knowest. 
 
 (Ezekiel 37:1-3). 
 
 In the early stages of the Appointed 
 Work, — the revelation of the New Jer- 
 usalem, — doubt and uncertainty sur- 
 rounded the effort to trace and prove 
 the many thousand descendants of the 
 Harlem Patentees throughout the two 
 centuries past. "The Valley" was in 
 truth "full of bones," and as the "Child- 
 
 44 
 
ren of Israel" were gathered "one by 
 one" (Isaiah 27:12), and generation 
 followed generation, the answer to the 
 question, "can these bones live?" be- 
 came of vital importance to the suc- 
 cessful outcome of the work. 
 
 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon 
 these bones, and say unto them, O ye 
 dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 
 
 Thus saith the Lord God unto these 
 bones; Behold, I will cause breath to 
 enter into you, and ye shall live: 
 
 And I will lay sinews upon you, and 
 will bring up flesh upon you, and cover 
 you with skin, and put breath in you, 
 and ye shall live; and ye shall know that 
 I am the Lord. 
 
 So I prophesied as I was commanded: 
 and as I prophesied, there was a noise, 
 and behold a shaking, and the bones 
 came together, bone to his bone. 
 
 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews.and 
 the flesh came up upon them, and the 
 skin covered them above: but there was 
 no breath in them. (Ezekiel 37:4-8). 
 
 To prophesy is to "utter Truth un- 
 der divine inspiration." Throughout 
 the Appointed Work, daily for two 
 years past, "Truth under divine in- 
 spiration" has been "uttered," — 
 
 45 
 
So shall my word be that goeth forth 
 out of my mouth: it shall not return un- 
 to me void, but it shall accomplish that 
 which I please, and it shall prosper in 
 the thing whereto I sent it, 
 
 (Isaiah S5:ii), 
 or divine Love reflected through the 
 channels of thought, — until "the bones 
 came together, bone to his bone," and 
 "the sinews and the flesh came up 
 upon them, and the skin covered them 
 above." 
 
 The thousands traced by name only, 
 and their lineage proved back through 
 ten generations to the Harlem Pat- 
 entees of 1666, are, as in the olden 
 time, "reckoned by genealogy" (Ne- 
 hemiah 7:5), with sinews, flesh and 
 skin come up upon them, — but until 
 located, have "no breath in them." 
 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto 
 the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say 
 to the wind. Thus saith the Lord God; 
 come from the four winds, O breath, 
 and breathe upon these slain, that they 
 may live. (Ezekiel 37:9). 
 
 "Then said he unto me," utter Truth 
 to mortal consciousness. Reflect di- 
 vine Love, Son of man, and say unto 
 
 46 
 
mortal consciousness, "Thus saith the 
 Lord God;" realize Omnipotent Mind 
 through reflection, and send out divine 
 Love to those dead in mortal beliefs, 
 that they may live. 
 
 So I prophesied as he commanded me, 
 and the breath came into them, and they 
 lived, and stood, upon their feet, an ex- 
 ceeding great army. 
 
 Then he said unto me. Son of man, 
 these bones are the whole house of Is- 
 rael: behold, they say, our bones are 
 dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut 
 , off for our parts. 
 
 Therefore prophesy and say unto 
 them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, 
 O my people, I will open your graves, 
 and cause you to come up out of your 
 graves, and bring you into the land of 
 Israel. 
 
 And ye shall know that I am the 
 Lord, when I have opened your graves, 
 O my people, and brought you up out 
 of your graves. 
 
 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye 
 shall live, and I shall place you in your 
 own land: then shall ye know that I the 
 Lord have spoken it, and performed it, 
 saith the Lord. (Ezekiel 37:10-14). 
 
 A little over forty thousand liv- 
 ing members of the Corporation, — 
 
 47 
 
the Town of New Harlem, stand 
 upon their feet, — "an exceeding great 
 army" ; "the whole house of Israel," — 
 all children of Israel; "our bones are 
 dried and our hope is lost," — cut off 
 seemingly from all hope of their line- 
 age being traced and proved. Their 
 graves to be opened, — their beliefs in 
 death or life in matter removed; and 
 coming out of their graves, — awakened 
 to an understanding of life in Mind; 
 to be brought into their own land, — 
 "the land of Israel." 
 
 ill- ¥- V- if^ 
 
 As the revelation of the New Jer- 
 usalem under divine direction consti- 
 tuted the sole motive for the recovery 
 of the Harlem rights and properties, 
 and as all expectation of personal gain 
 in an enterprise so conducted was at 
 the very inception of the work neces- 
 sarily eliminated, — a delicate, not to 
 say paradoxical, situation arose as the 
 time for the first announcement to the 
 
 48 
 
thousands of descendants of the Har- 
 lem Patentees approached. 
 
 On the one hand, the offer to recover 
 the Harlem rights and properties to 
 the extent of overturning the titles to 
 all lands above Seventy-fourth Street, 
 in the City of New York, Island of 
 Manhattan, v^^ithout demand for com- 
 pensation from the Harlem heirs, pre- 
 sented a proposition opposed in na- 
 ture to all ordinary business procedure, 
 and calculated on its face to discourage 
 all cooperation on the part of the claim- 
 ■ ants to the lands in question, so essential 
 to the success of the undertaking. On 
 the other hand, to demand twenty-five 
 per cent, of the proceeds of the recov- 
 ery of the Harlem lands, as indicated 
 in the announcement forwarded to the 
 descendants of the original Patentees, 
 seemed at first but a participation in 
 a sacred enterprise for personal gain 
 alone, — a condition manifestly contrary 
 to the divine plan. In this dilemma 
 an appeal, offered to God in silent 
 prayer, brought answer, as in times 
 past, under the inspiration to turn to 
 
 40 
 
the Bible for guidance, as found in 
 the fourteenth verse of the thirty- 
 second chapter of Jeremiah: 
 
 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God 
 of Israel; Take these evidences, this 
 evidence of the purchase, both which is 
 sealed, and this evidence vrhich is open; 
 and put them in an earthen vessel, that 
 they may continue many days. 
 
 The two conditions, the one "open" 
 and the other "sealed," must manifestly 
 remain for "many days," until at the 
 meeting of the Corporation the demand 
 for compensation of twenty-five per 
 cent, of the recovery should be relin- 
 quished, and all prospective recovery 
 be vested in the rightful owners, — the 
 members of the Corporate body, — the 
 Town of New Harlem. 
 
 And even as Daniel wrote of the 
 "seventy weeks determined upon thy 
 holy people and upon thy holy city" : 
 
 Seventy weeks are determined upon 
 thy people and upon thy holy city, to 
 finish the transgression, and to make 
 an end ox sins, and to make reconcilia- 
 tion for iniquity, and to bring in ever- 
 lasting righteousness, and to seal up the 
 
 50 
 
vision and prophecy, and to anoint the 
 most Holy, (Daniel 9:24), 
 
 as a guide in the Appointed Work, just 
 seventy weeks from Christmas day, 
 the date of the twelfth leading, one 
 thousand nine hundred and one, or 
 the first day of May, one thousand 
 nine hundred and three, the first notice 
 in the form of a circular letter, with 
 the "Authority to call a Meeting" en- 
 closed, was sent out to the many thou- 
 sands of descendants of the Harlem 
 Patentees, — the Children of Israel.

 And four great beasts came up from 
 the sea, diverse one from another. 
 
 The four strongest reflectors of 
 spiritual thought in the world to-day, 
 — ". . . four kings, which shall arise 
 out of the earth" (Daniel 7:17). 
 
 4- 
 
 The first was like a lion, and had 
 
 eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings 
 
 thereof were plucked, and it was lifted 
 
 up from the earth, and made stand upon 
 
 51 
 
the feet as a man, and a man's heart wats 
 given to it. 
 
 This fourth stanza pictures the "Lion 
 of the tribe of Judah" (Revelation 
 5:5), — the Revelator of Truth in this 
 age, sustained by the powerful spiritual 
 thought, through divine realization 
 ("eagle's wings"), — in the battle to 
 overcome the seeming forces of mortal 
 mind. The struggle over, — the "wings 
 
 thereof plucked," — having risen 
 
 above all materiality; "lifted up from 
 the earth," — standing to-day before 
 the world with undaunted courage, liv- 
 ing and demonstrating the divine Prin- 
 ciple of life eternal. 
 
 5. 
 
 And behold another beast, a second, 
 like to a bear, and it raised up itself on 
 one side, and it had three ribs in the 
 mouth of it between the teeth of it: and 
 they said thus unto it. Arise, devour 
 much flesh. 
 
 6. 
 
 After this I beheld, and lo another, 
 like a leopard, which had upon the back 
 of it four wings of a fowl; the beast also 
 four heads; and dominion was given 
 to it. 
 
 52 
 
While the two beasts mentioned in 
 the above passages are types, a fourth 
 beast will be more readily recognized 
 in the present trend of current events. 
 
 7- 
 
 After this I saw in the night visions, 
 and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and 
 terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it 
 had great iron teeth: it devoured and 
 brake in pieces, and stamped the residue 
 with the feet of it: and it was diverse 
 from all the beasts that were before it: 
 and it had ten horns. 
 
 The "dreadful and terrible" fourth 
 beast, seen in the "night visions," is 
 even now speaking "great words 
 against the most High," — is seeking 
 to "change times and laws," which 
 "shall be given into his hand until a 
 time and times, and the dividing of 
 time" (Daniel 7:25), — through certain 
 states and stages of consciousness, and, 
 ks his name implies, the "spiritless" 
 champion of mortal mind, with iron 
 teeth or will power, is to-day effecting 
 cures through the operation of "one 
 belief casting out another" (S. & H. 
 p. 12).

. . . Elias truly shall first come, and re- 
 store all things. (Matthew 17:11). 
 
 Behold, I will send you Elijah the 
 prophet before the coming of the great 
 and dreadful day of the Lord. 
 
 (Malachi 4:5). 
 
 The coming of Elias (Elijah) does 
 not refer to personality. 
 
 Elias means prophecy (S. & H., p. 
 585 ) . Prophecy must first be fulfilled. 
 Christian Science, — the Truth, must 
 first come to leaven consciousness and 
 awaken mankind to the fact that mor- 
 tal mind is losing its so-called power. 
 This awakening w^ill be accompanied by 
 indescribable suffering (the opening of 
 the fourth seal of error, — Revelation 
 6:7), resulting from the dying out and 
 destruction of mortal beliefs, — "Tribu- 
 lations such as was not since the be- 
 ginning of the world to this time, no, 
 nor ever shall be" (Matthew 24:21). 
 
 8. 
 
 I considered the horns, and, behold, 
 there came up among them another lit- 
 tle horn, before whom there were three 
 of the first horns plucked up by the 
 roots: and behold, in this horn were eyes 
 
 64 
 
like the eyes of a man, and a mouth 
 speaking great things. 
 
 The "little horn,"— little strength 
 at first in spiritual understanding, but 
 growing constantly into higher and 
 greater realization of the omnipotence 
 of God, — Good. 
 
 9- 
 
 I beheld till the three thrones were 
 cast down, and the Ancient of days did 
 sit, whose garment was white as snow, 
 and the hair of his head like the pure 
 wool: his throne was like the fiery ilame, 
 and his wheels as burning fire. 
 
 10. 
 
 A fiery stream issued and came forth 
 from before him: thousand thousands 
 ministered unto him, and ten thousand 
 times ten thousand stood before him: 
 judgment was set, and the books were 
 opened. 
 
 The Prophet here beholds the three 
 thrones, — the world, the flesh, and evil, 
 — "cast down" or overcome, and per- 
 ceives that the Spiritual Leader of the 
 twentieth century, dwelling in the City 
 of Harmony, and clothed in the white 
 undivided garment of Christ, "did sit," 
 — rested in the spiritual consciousness 
 
 65 
 
of Love, sustained by the thousands 
 upon thousands of God-thoughts, in- 
 asmuch as the "judgment was set and 
 the books were opened," — "Truth is re- 
 vealed. It only needs to be prac- 
 tised" (S. &. H., p. 174). 
 II. 
 I beheld then because of the voice of 
 the great words which the horn spake: 
 I beheld even till the beast was slain, 
 and his body destroyed, and given to 
 the burning flame. 
 
 la. 
 As concerning the rest of the beasts, 
 they had their dominion taken away: 
 Yet their lives were prolonged for a 
 season and time. 
 
 Daniel's spiritual realization enabled 
 him to see the ultimate outcome of 
 the battle between Truth and error, in 
 which the beast, or mortal mind, is 
 slain, and his false concept destroyed 
 by the consuming fire of Love. Error 
 resists the surrender of its belief in life, 
 and lives for a time. 
 
 13- 
 
 I saw in the night visions, and behold, 
 one like the Son of man came with the 
 
 56 
 
clouds of heaven, and came to the An- 
 cient of days, and they brought him 
 near before him. 
 
 14. 
 
 And there was given him dominion, 
 and glory, and a kingdom, that all peo- 
 ple, nations, and languages, should serve 
 him: his dominion is an everlasting do- 
 minion, which shall not pass away, and 
 his kingdom that which shall not be de- 
 stroyed. 
 
 The Prophet mentally discerned not 
 only the meeting of the Son of man 
 with the Ancient of days, but God's 
 law fulfilled in the gathering of all 
 nations under One Head, — "one fold, 
 and one shepherd" (John 10:16). 
 
 18. 
 But the saints of the most High shall 
 take the kingdom, and possess the king- 
 dom forever, even forever and ever. 
 
 Following the description of the 
 four beasts and their different quali- 
 ties of thought, — the struggle, as de- 
 picted in the "casting down" of the 
 three thrones, or the false material 
 dominion, — the sitting of the Ancient 
 of days, — the judgment and the open- 
 
 57 
 
ing of the books, comes the promise 
 of the kingdom to the Christian Scien- 
 tists, — the "Saints of the most High." 
 
 31. 
 
 I beheld, and the same horn made war 
 with the saints, and prevailed against 
 them; 
 
 32. 
 
 Until the Ancient of days came, and 
 judgment was given to the saints of the 
 most High; and the time came that the 
 saints possessed the kingdom. 
 
 And while the Appointed Work goes 
 steadily onward, understanding (judg- 
 ment) comes through the Ancient of 
 days to the "Saints of the most High." 
 
 26. 
 But the judgment shall sit, and they 
 shall take away his dominion [mortal 
 mind], to consume and destroy it unto 
 the end. 
 
 27. 
 And the kingdom and dominion, and 
 the greatness of the kingdom under the 
 whole heaven, shall be given to the peo- 
 ple of the saints of the most High, 
 whose kingdom is an everlasting king- 
 dom, and all dominions shall serve and 
 obey him.

 Once again Daniel lifted up his eyes 
 and saw, as on a canvas, the battle of 
 Truth against error. 
 
 3- 
 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, 
 and, behold, there stood before the river 
 a ram which had two horns: and the 
 two horns were high; but one was 
 higher than the other, and higher came 
 up last. 
 
 The two horns of the ram, — the 
 "two individual natures in one," — the 
 "compounded spiritual individuality" 
 (S. & H., p. 577) ; ... the two anointed 
 ones, that stand by the Lord of the 
 whole earth" (Zechariah 4:14); the 
 two witnesses ; two olive trees, and the 
 two candlesticks standing before the 
 God of the earth (Rev. 11:3-4); the 
 two horns of the ram which stood be- 
 fore the river, — the Holy One of Israel, 
 — the channel through which pours 
 the highest spiritual thought of to-day; 
 of which one "came up (embraced 
 Christian Science) last." 
 
 59 
 
4- 
 
 I saw the ram pushing westward, and 
 northward, and southward; so that no 
 beasts might stand before him, neither 
 was there that could deliver out of his 
 hand; but he did according to his will 
 and became great. 
 
 And again, pouring through the "two 
 witnesses" or "two horns" of the ram, 
 the Hght of Truth, rising in the east, 
 is seen "pushing westward, northward, 
 and southward." 
 
 The Prophet next sees Truth meet 
 error in the final battle of Armageddon 
 (Revelation i6:i6). 
 
 5- 
 And as I was considering, behold, an 
 he goat came from the west on the 
 face of the whole earth, and touched not 
 the ground: and the goat had a notable 
 horn between his eyes. 
 
 6. 
 And he came to the ram that had two 
 horns, which I had seen steuiding before 
 the river, and ran unto him in the fury 
 of bis power. 
 
 7- 
 And I saw him come close unto the 
 ram, and he was moved with choler 
 
 60 
 
against him, and smote the ram, and 
 brake his two horns: and there was no 
 power in the ram to stand before him, 
 but he cast him down to the ground, and 
 stamped upon him: and there was none 
 that could deliver the ram out of his 
 hand. 
 
 8. 
 Therefore the goat waxed very g^eat: 
 and when he was strong, the great horn 
 was broken; and for it came up four 
 notable ones toward the four winds of 
 heaven. 
 
 9- 
 
 And out of one of them came forth a 
 little horn, which waxed exceeding great, 
 toward the south, and toward the east, 
 and toward the pleasant land. 
 
 10. 
 
 And it waxed great, even to the host 
 of heaven; and it cast down some of the 
 host and of the stars to the ground, and 
 stamped upon them. 
 
 As the ram pushed westward against 
 the forces of error, behold "an he 
 goat" with "a notable horn between 
 his eyes" (hypnotism, — the illusive 
 force of mortal mind), "came from 
 the west," — the opposite side of Truth, 
 
 61 
 
— being mental, for it "touched not 
 the ground," and smote the ram, 
 breaking his two horns, — a mental as- 
 sassination ("but he shall be broken 
 without hand," Daniel 8:25) prophe- 
 sied and further described in Revela- 
 tion 1 1 7. 
 
 And the "he goat" prevails but for 
 a short time only, — error risen to its 
 height, destroys itself. The "little 
 horn" came forth out of one of the 
 "four notable ones," — the "Branch" 
 grew out of the roots of the "rod out 
 of the stem of Jesse" (Isaiah 11 :i), 
 and waxed "exceeding great" (grew 
 strong in the realization of divine 
 Love) toward the "pleasant land," — 
 the New Jerusalem. 
 II. 
 Yea, he magnified himself even to the 
 prince of the host, and by him the daily 
 sacrifice was taken away, and the place 
 of his sanctuary was cast down. 
 12. 
 And an host was given him against 
 the oaily sacrifice by reason of trans- 
 gression, and it cast down the truth to 
 the ground; cind it practised and pros- 
 pered. 
 
 62 
 
13. 
 
 Then I heard one saint speaking, and 
 another saint said unto that certain saint 
 which spake, How long shall be the 
 vision concerning the daily sacrifice, 
 and the transgression of desolation, to 
 give both the sanctuary and the host 
 [daily sacrifice] to be trodden under 
 foot? 
 
 As demonstration follows demon- 
 stration, and the world sees the prac- 
 tical illustration of the power of God 
 as reflected through man, the "daily 
 sacrifice," or time sacrificed daily by 
 mortals in the universal practice of 
 prayer to a personal, corporeal God 
 ("Whom therefore ye ignorantly wor- 
 ship," Acts 17:23), — what has always 
 been looked upon as the Truth, will 
 be taken away, and the "sanctuary," or 
 this belief in mortal consciousness uni- 
 versally worshipped, will be "cast 
 down." Spiritual power will be given 
 in the warfare against this ignorance 
 of the age, and the "transgression of 
 desolation," — the transgression of the 
 true worship, — spreading desolation, — 
 will be "trodden under foot," the world 
 
 63 
 
rising above the slavery of mortal be- 
 liefs through spiritual understanding, 
 and learning to reflect divine Love 
 through the channels of thought, will 
 worship "the Father in spirit and in 
 truth" (John 4:23). 
 
 14. 
 And he said unto me, Unto two thous- 
 and and three hundred days; then shall 
 the sanctuary be cleansed. 
 
 The third verse of the eleventh chap- 
 ter of Revelation would indicate the 
 measure of time of a thousand, two 
 hundred and three score days, or three 
 years, five and a half months elaps- 
 ing between the announcement of the 
 "New Jerusalem" and the time when 
 the mental assassination of the two 
 witnesses, as described by Daniel in 
 the eighth verse above quoted, is" to oc- 
 cur. 
 
 To this period of three years, five 
 and a half months, the Prophet in the 
 fourteenth verse adds a further period 
 of two thousand three hundred days, 
 or a little over six years (nine years, 
 eight and a half months from the pres- 
 
 64 
 
ent time), when the belief in a per- 
 sonal, corporeal God will be destroyed 
 in the universal consciousness, and sup- 
 planted by the understanding that God 
 as Spirit must be reflected mentally; 
 and prophesies that within one thou- 
 sand two hundred and ninety days 
 from the ending of the six-year period 
 mentioned, or three years and a half 
 thereafter, "the abomination that mak- 
 eth desolate" (Daniel 12:11) will be 
 "set up," — the rule of Spirit, an abomi- 
 nation to the human (mortal mind) 
 will be recognized. ". . . . Surely I 
 come quickly" (Revelation 22:20). 
 
 The Apostle John, in the eleventh 
 verse of the twenty-first chapter of his 
 Gospel, writes of the universal ac- 
 knowledgment of Christian Science, — 
 Truth, in an allegorical reference to 
 the number of fish caught in the net 
 by Simon Peter, — typifying number of 
 generations : 
 
 Simon Peter went up, and drew the 
 net to land full of great fishes, an hun- 
 dred and fifty and three: and for all 
 there were so many, yet was not the net 
 broken. (St. John 21:11). 
 
 65 
 
In the one hundred and fifty-third 
 generation from Adam (the generation 
 of Queen Victoria being the one hun- 
 dred and fiftieth, — Poole's Anglo Is- 
 rael), Christian Science as the Truth 
 will be universally acknowledged, — 
 "yet was not the net broken" (more 
 work still to be done), — "the end is 
 not yet" (Matthew 24:6). 
 
 The Christ-Principle, universally ac- 
 knowledged at the expiration of the 
 next thirteen years, as above indicated, 
 will not, however, be universally de- 
 monstrated until the year six thousand 
 from Adam, or ninety-seven years from 
 to-day, and, for the thousand years 
 thereafter, mortals will enjoy heaven 
 (harmony) on earth, with Satan bound 
 (Revelation 20:2). 
 
 20. 
 The ram which thou sawest having 
 two horns are the kings of Media and 
 Persia. 
 
 The two witnesses stand as firm in 
 the realization of divine Love as the 
 law of the Medes and Persians. 
 
 The words Media and Persia are 
 
 6G 
 
used by the Prophet to turn the thought 
 of the world away from the true mean- 
 ing of the prophecy until the secret 
 could be seen at the appointed time, 
 and so again, in the following verse, the 
 mention of the King of Grecia directs 
 the thought back to ancient countries. 
 
 And the rough goat is the king of 
 Grecia: and the great horn that is be- 
 tween his eyes is the first king. 
 
 This rough goat is a type of the 
 highly cultivated (Grecia) avenues for 
 mortal mind ; which has been the king, 
 or ruling influence, with mortals be- 
 fore they are awakened to the Truth of 
 being. 
 
 22. 
 
 Now that being broken, whereas four 
 stood up for it, four kingdoms shall 
 stand up out of the nation, but not in 
 his power. 
 
 Thanks be to God for the glorious 
 promise that the power of mortal mind 
 is temporal, and that Spiritual power 
 will prevail. 
 
 67 
 
23. 
 
 And in the latter time of their king- 
 dom, when the transgressors are come 
 to the full, a king of fierce countenance, 
 and understanding dark sentences, shall 
 stand up.

CHAPTER III. 
 
 Spiritual Laws and Bible Sayings 
 
 AS Seen in the Light of 
 
 Divine Science. 
 
 For the law of the spirit of life in 
 Christ Jesus hath made me free from 
 the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:2). 
 
 To gain the true understanding of 
 God and His idea, — man, — the Bible 
 must be interpreted spiritually. "When 
 the Scripture is understood, the spir- 
 itual significance of its terms will be 
 understood, and will contradict the in- 
 terpretations that the senses give them ; 
 and these terms will be found to in- 
 clude the inspired meaning" (M. W., 
 p. 190). 
 
 The mortal laws, grown fixed in con- 
 sciousness by centuries of belief, are 
 overcome to-day in a lesser degree only 
 than in the days of the Patriarchs. 
 Every so-called material law is false, 
 because not of God. "What are termed 
 natural science and material laws are 
 
 75 
 
the objective states of mortal mind" (S. 
 & H., p. 484). Through the spiritual 
 realization of divine Love alone can the 
 demonstration over the laws of belief 
 of impersonal evil, — mortal mind, — 
 be accomplished. Through Christian 
 Science the world is beginning to learn 
 how to destroy the false, unreal laws 
 of sin and sickness, — not by fighting 
 against them as realities, — ("I am not 
 come to destroy, but to fulfill," Matthew 
 5:17), — but in mentally realizing the 
 one law (the law of God,) when, like 
 darkness disappearing before the light, 
 mortal beliefs sink into self extinction. 
 When sin and sickness yield to Truth, 
 greater demonstrations of the power of 
 divine Mind as reflected through man 
 will be evidenced, until finally the last 
 enemy, — death, — (a false illusion and 
 law of mortal belief) will be overcome. 
 
 When Moses first discovered that 
 the laws of mortal mind were subject 
 to his control through spiritual realiza- 
 tion, in casting his rod "on the ground" 
 (Exodus 4:3) he realized its nothing- 
 ness (ground) as a form of belief, and 
 
 76 
 
was thus able to turn one belief into 
 another, as the rod into a serpent. 
 Startled at the exhibition of his Christ- 
 power, he "fled from before it," but 
 taking the serpent "by the tail" (Exo- 
 dus 4 :4), — (indulging in mortal beliefs 
 as little as possible, thus keeping in 
 the spiritual thought), — the operation 
 was reversed, and the serpent turned 
 again into a rod. In the manifesta- 
 tion of leprosy, by putting his "hand 
 into his bosom," — realizing the God 
 power within himself, — Moses com- 
 manded mortal mind, and "when he 
 took it out" (Exodus 4:6) he took his 
 spiritual dominion, and brought out 
 the demonstration, (the phenomenon 
 of "leprosy,") on mortal mind's own 
 manifestation, the hand; and again 
 realizing his God-given power within 
 himself, he "plucked it out of his 
 bosom" (Exodus 4:7), — healed the 
 diseased member by the same spirit- 
 ual realization. These manifestations, 
 forerunners of other demonstrations 
 wrought upon Pharaoh in the form of 
 plagues by Moses, were accomplished 
 
 77 
 
through the obedience of mortal mind 
 to the word of God reflected through 
 man. In Hke manner the cloud on 
 Mt. Sinai, the manna in the wilderness, 
 with its lesson to live day by day only, 
 and the pillar of cloud by day and fire 
 by night, one and all, appeared under 
 Moses' command to mortal mind. And 
 to-day, sin and sickness likewise disap- 
 pear at command under the realization 
 of divine Love. This disappearance 
 of disease through the reflection of 
 Truth, in the least degree, proves the 
 Principle revealed in the so-called mir- 
 acles of the ancients. It is indeed but 
 a question of time when the capacity 
 to reflect divine Love will develop 
 through self-purification to an extent 
 sufficient to perform the "greater 
 works" prophesied by Jesus (John 14 : 
 12). 
 
 In the days of so-called miracles 
 there has ever been some man, or 
 men, more or less cognizant of the 
 Christ-Principle, — "kept secret from 
 the foundation of the world" (Mat- 
 
 78 
 
thew 13:3s), — as fully revealed in 
 Christian Science to-day. 
 
 Moses demonstrated over the law of 
 friction, among other laws of mortal 
 mind, when the "raiment waxed not 
 old" in the forty years of wandering 
 of the Children of Israel ( Deuteronomy 
 8:4). Elisha, in bringing the axe to 
 the surface of the water (II Kings 6: 
 5-6), overcame the law of gravitation. 
 
 When Jesus walked on the waves, 
 he demonstrated over this same law 
 (Matthew 14:25-27) through the un- 
 derstanding that all force of attraction 
 is in divine Mind alone, not in matter; 
 and when "immediately the ship was 
 at the land whither they went" (John 
 6 :2 1 ) the law of resistance of the mor- 
 tal belief of water was annulled by the 
 divinely reflected power of Jesus. His 
 command to the fig tree that no fruit 
 should grow thereon and presently it 
 "withered away" (Matthew 21 rip) was 
 a rebuke from God, through the Christ 
 idea, to the mortal law of capillary at- 
 traction. Jesus said : "... if ye have 
 faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye 
 
 70 
 
shall say unto this mountain, Remove 
 hence to yonder place; and it shall re- 
 move; and nothing shall be impossible 
 unto you" (Matthew 17:20). 
 
 Were the spiritual realization of to- 
 day sufficient to annul the law of gravi- 
 tation, which holds the seeming pon- 
 derous mass in its place, the matter 
 formation of earth and rocks (admitted 
 by scientists to be but a form of illusive 
 consciousness) would move as de- 
 scribed in direct obedience to the word 
 of God. 
 
 This promised power is the re-dis- 
 covered spiritual realization of divine 
 Love, and is beginning to be univer- 
 sally reflected through His highest 
 ideas, — the sons and daughters of God, 
 — "heirs of God and joint heirs with 
 Christ" (Romans 8:17). 
 
 Elisha fed his hundred on twenty 
 loaves of barley, and "they did eat and 
 left thereof (II Kings 4:44). 
 
 Jesus fed the five thousand on five 
 barley loaves and two small fishes, with 
 twelve baskets of fragments (John 6: 
 13). 
 
 80 
 
Peter, the fisherman, healed the 
 cripple (Acts 3:8). 
 
 Jesus said to the impotent man: 
 "Rise, take up thy bed and walk" (John 
 5:8). 
 
 Peter, the fisherman, raised up Dor- 
 cas-Tabitha from the belief of death 
 (Acts 9:40). 
 
 Jesus cried with a loud voice : "Laz- 
 arus, come forth" (John 11:43). 
 
 All these so-called miracles were ef- 
 fected through the reflection of divine 
 Mind through man. 
 
 The power to control the elements 
 is but a degree of spiritual realization. 
 Noah produced the flood when "the 
 Lord shut him in" (Genesis 7:16). 
 That is to say, when the material sense 
 was shut out and Noah abode in the 
 God-consciousness; and in this way 
 Elijah, on Mount Carmel, likewise pro- 
 duced the rain (I Kings 18:44-45). 
 
 The cause of the earthquakes, of such 
 frequent occurrence during the past 
 year as to challenge the attention of 
 scientists throughout the world, — pro- 
 phesied to occur "in divers places" 
 
 81 
 
(Matthew 24:7),— is plainly apparent 
 to-day. The spiritual thought going 
 out into consciousness, reflected through 
 thousands of God's ideas, disrupts the 
 so-called natural, or material, laws of 
 cohesion and adhesion which hold the 
 earth (a mental product of mortal 
 mind) together, and these laws, yield- 
 ing to the influence of Truth, the earth 
 quakes along the lines of least resist- 
 ance. 
 
 The "sweating of drops of blood" 
 (Luke 22:44) in the garden of Geth- 
 semane was but the beginning of the 
 subjection to Christ of these same laws 
 of cohesion and adhesion afterwards 
 accomplished, "When he ascended up 
 on high" and "led captivity captive" 
 (Ephesians 4:8). 
 
 The sun, giving heat and light to 
 the material world to-day, is mortal 
 mind's concept of the real sun, — the 
 creation of God. In other words, the 
 material sun is the false concept of one 
 of the ideas of God, through which idea 
 light is reflected to the real universe, — 
 of which the material is the unreal. 
 
 82 
 
Were the material sun of God's cre- 
 ating, never would it have stood still 
 for Joshua "upon Gibeon" (Joshua lo: 
 12), nor could the shadow have been 
 brought "ten degrees backward" by 
 Isaiah the Prophet (II Kings 20:11). 
 
 The object of leading the children 
 of Israel forty years through the wil- 
 derness (Numbers 14:33 and 32:13), 
 which journey could have been accom- 
 plished in a few weeks, was to impress 
 them and the world at large with 
 Moses as a spiritual leader and oracle 
 of God. His sayings and teachings, 
 as incorporated in the Bible, must first 
 be universally accepted, and thus be- 
 come fixed laws unto themselves, if the 
 human race was ever to awaken from 
 the mesmeric dream of life in matter. 
 
 Moses, through the wisdom given 
 him of God, early appreciated the ne- 
 cessity of shortening the span of human 
 life, until the world would come to the 
 understanding that life is in Mind and 
 not in matter, well knowing that fre- 
 quent death, in strong contrast to the 
 then existing length of days, would 
 
 83 
 
cause the race to ponder, think and 
 reason over man's relationship to God. 
 
 And until the days of David, under 
 Moses' law of limitation, the span of 
 life was shortened to an hundred and 
 twenty years, 
 
 ". . . yet his days shall be an hundred 
 
 and twenty years," (Genesis 6:3), 
 
 and, at the time of the promulgation of 
 the ninetieth Psalm, became further re- 
 duced to three score years and ten, to 
 which settled belief of the centuries 
 humanity bows to-day. 
 
 This law of limitation is even now 
 beginning to yield to the power of 
 Truth, statistics showing a notable 
 lengthening of life within recent years, 
 while the death rate of The First 
 Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, 
 furnishes a marked illustration of pro- 
 gress made in the understanding of 
 life over the belief in death, among the 
 ranks of the Christian Scientists. Of the 
 22,139 members in the year 1901, the 
 death rate was 2.32 per 1,000, ori7.38 
 per 1,000 less than the death rate in 
 the city of Boston. 
 
 84 
 
And again, as a further regulator of 
 the human race, Moses evolved the law 
 "in sorrow thou shalt bring forth chil- 
 dren" (Genesis 3 :i6), thus imposing a 
 limitation on propagation through the 
 efficient operation of fear. 
 
 If within the past two hundred years 
 both men and women have suffered at 
 the stake, or scaffold, for their reli- 
 gious beliefs, is it a cause for wonder 
 that Moses failed to disclose to the 
 dense understanding of the Children 
 of Israel the fact that man is a mental, 
 not physical, being, or covered his 
 face with a veil (Exodus 34:33) to 
 hide the change of countenance, — the 
 Christ on the flesh, — wrought by his 
 mental communion on Mount Sinai? 
 Jesus declared sixteen hundred years 
 later, "I have yet many things to say 
 unto you, but ye can not bear them 
 now" (John 16:12); and alluded to 
 the fact that we are mental beings in 
 a few instances only, such as "A spirit 
 hath not flesh and bones as ye see me 
 have" (Luke 24:39), and again, "Ye 
 
 85 
 
are of your father, the devil' (John 8 : 
 
 44)- 
 
 The declaration "I have meat to 
 eat that ye know not of" (John 4:32,) 
 carried with it the hidden meaning that 
 the Master was sustained by the Sub- 
 stance of thought. Even to-day the 
 human mind resists the Truth embod- 
 ied in the statement "All is Mind and 
 Mind's idea" (S. & H., p. 492). 
 
 There is No Death. 
 Man (not matter) was made a spir- 
 itual being after God's image and like- 
 ness. 
 
 So God created man in his own im- 
 age, in the image of God created he 
 him; male and female created he them, 
 (Genesis I '.27), 
 
 And if man, — immortal, — created after 
 God's image, man is the same immortal 
 being, "yesterday, to-day, and forever." 
 An immortal man can never die. 
 
 "Mortals waken from the dream of 
 death, with bodies unseen by those 
 
 86 
 
who think they bury the body" (S. & 
 H., p. 429). 
 
 Question. — Where do they waken? 
 
 Answer. — On other planets. 
 
 And when he had opened the fifth 
 seal, I saw under the altar the souls of 
 them that were slain for the word of 
 God, and for the testimony which they 
 held: 
 
 And they cried with a loud voice, say- 
 ing. How long, O Lord, holy and true, 
 dost thou not judge and avenge our 
 blood on them that dwell on the earth? 
 (Revelation 6:9, 10). 
 
 The opening of the fifth seal of 
 error follows the present period, which 
 is the beginning of the opening of the 
 fourth seal (Revelation 6:7). Then, 
 when consciousness is leavened with 
 Truth, the thoughts of those who have 
 passed on and are on other planets will 
 be spiritually discerned by those on the 
 earth. 
 
 The words "I saw under" are typical 
 of understanding; "altar," typical of 
 worship. Therefore, "I saw under the 
 altar" would indicate: Understanding 
 what is universally worshiped in be- 
 
 87 
 
lief.^-namely, that man dies; but 
 knowing the reverse, that life is in 
 Mind, and man is immortal, — through 
 this reflection of Truth, John spiritually 
 discerned the thoughts (souls) of those 
 who "were slain for the word of God," 
 namely, foresaw a mental communica- 
 tion between the martyrs (the most 
 spiritually-minded Christians) who have 
 gone before, and those on the earth. 
 
 To "judge" is to bring understand- 
 ing; to "avenge," to vindicate or prove 
 true; "blood" is typical of life. Hence, 
 "How long,. O Lord, holy and true, 
 dost thou not judge and avenge our 
 blood on them that dwell on the earth?" 
 is a cry from those looking backward 
 and saying: How long will it be, O 
 Lbrd, before understanding will be 
 brought to those who dwell on the 
 earth (showing that those who have 
 gone before dwell on other planets) 
 to vindicate and prove it true to them 
 that our Life was never taken. 
 
 The answer is found in the follow- 
 ing verse : 
 
 88 
 
And white robes were given unto 
 every one of them; and it was said 
 unto them, that they should rest yet for 
 a little season, until their fellowservants 
 also and their brethren, that should be 
 killed as they were, should be fulfilled. 
 (Revelation 6:ii). 
 
 "That they should rest yet for a lit- 
 tle season," — in the year nineteen hun- 
 dred and seven, or until such time as 
 a second illustration or proof that life 
 is in Mind and not in matter come to 
 a doubting world in the overcoming of 
 the "last enemy." 
 
 Blessed indeed are they who "die in 
 the Lord" (Revelation 14:13), or pass 
 on with the light of Truth, having 
 overcome mortal beliefs, for "he that 
 overcometh shall not be hurt of the 
 second death" (Revelation 2:11). 
 
 As those who pass on and "die in 
 the Lord," — that is, understanding the 
 Truth, — tell the secret to others, the 
 process of wakening from the dream of 
 life in matter will extend to other 
 planets. Truth will be understood by 
 those who are most spiritual, who in 
 
 89 
 
turn will encourage others in their 
 struggle for freedom. 
 
 Thy faith hath made thee whole. 
 (Matthew 9:22). 
 
 The word faith is defined as the 
 "assent of the mind or understanding 
 to the Truth of what God has re- 
 vealed." This definition finds illus- 
 tration in the circumstances surround- 
 ing the healing of the woman by Jesus, 
 as told by Matthew. It was not the 
 material blind faith that healed, but 
 the turning of the human mind to 
 Christ, through whom God revealed 
 himself in the force of divine Love. 
 "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is 
 dead, being alone" (James 2:17), but 
 faith, as spiritual understanding, which, 
 when awakened, brings into quickened 
 activity the force of Spirit, is alive 
 with results. This quickening influence 
 of divine Love, as reflected through 
 the Master, entering the woman's con- 
 sciousness, awakened her Christ, — or 
 spiritual understanding (which was 
 what Jesus referred to in using the 
 00 
 
word faith), — and, dispelling the mor- 
 tal beliefs, made her whole. In other 
 words, Jesus declared in substance: 
 
 Thy awakened Christ, — faith, — 
 quickened into activity by the reflec- 
 tion of Truth, Life and Love, "a law 
 of annihilation to everything unlike 
 themselves" (S. & H., p. 243), hath 
 made thee whole. 
 
 Again, metaphysical healing finds 
 illustration in the words of Paul, the 
 apostle : 
 
 The same heard Paul speak: who 
 steadfastly beholding him, and perceiv- 
 ing that he had faith to be healed, 
 
 Said with a loud voice. Stand upright 
 
 on thy feet And he leaped and walked. 
 
 (Acts 14:9-10). 
 
 In "steadfastly beholding him" Paul 
 silently realized to himself the cripple's 
 spiritual reality, and in "perceiving he 
 had faith" knew that through this 
 realization, the force of divine Love, 
 surging through his consciousness, was 
 awakening the cripple's spiritual un- 
 derstanding of God, — his Christ, divin- 
 ity, or faith, — which quickened activity 
 accomplished the healing described. 
 
 01 
 
Day of Judgment, 
 
 The "Day of Judgment," in the gen- 
 erally accepted meaning of the words, 
 conveys the idea of an arraignment 
 before a Court, with the attendant pas- 
 sing of judgment, by a Supreme Judge, 
 upon the misdeeds of mortals com- 
 mitted upon the earth. The Judg- 
 ment, or "mental operation by which 
 facts are weighed," lies, however, in 
 man himself, not in any Judge; 
 
 For the Father judgeth no man, but 
 hath committed all judgment unto the 
 Son. (John 5:22). 
 
 Hath committed the "mental opera- 
 tion by which facts are weighed" 
 unto the Christ-understanding (Son), 
 — available to all alike upon awaken- 
 ing to Truth. 
 
 God's Creation Spiritual, Not 
 
 Material. 
 
 . . . Behold, I have ^ven you every 
 
 herb bearing seed, which is upon the 
 
 face of all the earth, euid every tree, in 
 
 92 
 
the which is the fruit of a tree yielding 
 seed; to you it shall be for meat. 
 
 (Genesis 1:29). 
 
 Of all creation, man is the highest 
 idea of God, — and animals, herbs, and 
 trees, likewise ideas of God, perfect 
 and eternal. Divine Love, — sustain- 
 ing spiritual Substance, "meat," — re- 
 flects through man, the idea of God, 
 and through animals, herbs and trees, 
 — His ideas as well. 
 
 And Moses said, I will now turn 
 aside, and see this great sight, why the 
 bush is not burnt. (Exodus 3:3). 
 
 Moses "turned aside," — turned away 
 from material thought, — and saw, 
 where the false material bush seemed 
 to be, the spiritual bush, scintillating 
 with the "consuming fire" of divine 
 Love. 
 
 This reflection of Spirit through 
 Moses, far from consuming the false 
 material bush, quickened it with "heal- 
 ing in its wings," and had the bush 
 been diseased, or withered, a restora- 
 tion to health and harmony would 
 have occurred, even as the Spirit 
 
 93 
 
quickens the mortal body (Romans 
 8:ii). When God called to Moses 
 "out of the midst of the bush" (Exo- 
 dus 3:4) "Infinite Love" became "re- 
 flected in love" (S. & H., p. 17)- 
 Through this understanding of love, 
 even as "one touch of nature makes 
 the whole world kin," peace and rest 
 of mind and body ever comes to man, 
 while roaming in the forests alone 
 with nature, or listening to the lan- 
 guage of the flowers. 
 
 And when thought is universally 
 changed, and God's creation recog- 
 nized as spiritual, and not material, 
 then only will nature be transformed, 
 and, 
 
 Instead of the thorn shall come up 
 
 the fir tree, and instead of the brier 
 
 shall come up the myrtle tree; and it 
 
 shall be to the Lord for a name, for 
 
 an everlasting sign that shall not be cut 
 
 off. (Isaiah 55:13)- 
 
 That divine Love is reflected through 
 
 the animal kingdom, as well as through 
 
 herbs and trees, finds illustration in the 
 
 feeding of Elijah by the ravens (II 
 
 Kings 17:6), and the reflection of the 
 
 94 
 
word of God to Balaam, in the way, 
 through a seemingly dumb animal 
 (Numbers 22:28). 
 
 Battle OF Am ALEKITES (Exodus 17). 
 
 8. 
 Then came Amalek, and fought with 
 Israel in Rephidim. 
 
 9- 
 
 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose 
 us out men, and go out, fight with 
 Amalek: to-morrow I will stand on the 
 top of the hill with the rod of God in 
 mine hand. 
 
 10. 
 
 So Joshua did as Moses had said to 
 him, and fought with Amalek, and 
 Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the 
 top of the hill. 
 
 II. 
 
 And it came to pass, when Moses 
 held up his hand that Israel prevailed; 
 and when he let down his hand, Amalek 
 prevailed. 
 
 12. 
 
 But Moses' hands were heavy; and 
 they took a stone, and put it under him, 
 and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur 
 stayed up his hands, the one on the one 
 side, and the other on the other side; 
 
 95 
 
and his hands were steady until the go- 
 ing down of the sun. 
 
 The meeting of the Israelites with 
 the Amalekites, won only by the most 
 faithful work on the part of the spir- 
 itual leader of that age, describes the 
 type of the mental battle between Truth 
 and error of to-day. 
 
 Moses is pictured as sustained by 
 the Christ-Principle, — the stone, or 
 rock, under him; while Aaron and 
 Hur's assistance, in holding up his 
 hand (power), was the impersonal 
 mental work on their part reflecting 
 strength and support to their leader. 
 
 When the claim of weariness comes, 
 and hesitation to press forward in the 
 race for immortality, the Amalekites 
 will prevail; but when loyal Christian 
 Scientists hold up the hands of the 
 spiritual Leader of the world to-day, 
 sustaining her with the impersonal 
 power of God, as reflected through her 
 faithful followers, the battle turns in 
 favor of Truth, and the victory will be 
 won in the final fall of error, the "go- 
 ing down of the sun." 
 
 96 
 
And God said, let the Earth bring 
 FORTH Grass (Genesis i:ii). 
 As the Earth is "a sphere; a type 
 of eternity and immortality, which are 
 Hkewise without beginning or end" ( S. 
 & H., p. 585), so is Grass a type of 
 humility : — "The grass beneath our feet 
 silently exclaims 'the meek shall in- 
 herit the earth'" (S. & H., p. 516). 
 "Let the earth bring forth grass," — 
 allow the understanding of immortality 
 to enter the consciousness, bringing 
 forth humility, the only quality through 
 which all things are inherited! 
 
 Sufficient unto the day is the 
 EVIL THEREOF (Matthew 6 134) . 
 Spirit uncovers, each day, error suffi- 
 cient to demand the fullest realization 
 of divine Love for harmonious demon- 
 stration. 
 
 But pray ye that your flight be 
 
 NOT in the WINTER, NEITHER ON 
 
 THE SABBATH DAY (Matthew 24 :2o). 
 
 Pray that ye neither flee away from 
 
 your problem, — from coldness of heart 
 
 97 
 
toward those who are leading you, — 
 nor neglect the call of duty, being lulled 
 into a state of ease and rest in error, 
 
 through mesmerism. 
 
 I BEHELD Satan as lightning fall 
 FROM HEAVEN (Luke loiig). 
 I saw how the law of reversal imme- 
 diately struck back, in revenge on sin's 
 destroyers, and protected you. 
 
 Take up thy bed, and go unto 
 THINE house (Matthew 9:6). 
 
 Handle metaphysically that which 
 you have relied on (material beliefs), 
 and dwell in the secret place of the 
 most High. 
 
 That the blood of all the pro- 
 phets, WHICH WAS SHED FROM THE 
 foundation of the world, MAY 
 BE REQUIRED OF THIS GENERATION. 
 
 (Luke II :5o). 
 
 The belief that the life (blood) of 
 
 the prophets, or anyone, was ever 
 
 taken will be required of mortal mind, 
 
 to be supplanted by the understanding 
 
 08 
 
that life is in God, and that no one 
 has ever died. 
 
 Automobiles of Prophecy. 
 The prophets of old, discerning not 
 only what had ever been in divine 
 Mind, but the mental picture of seem- 
 ing existence in the mortal dream as 
 well, wrote as in a vision; and no 
 more startling proof of prophetic ac- 
 curacy is to be found in all Bible writ- 
 ings than appears in the fourth verse 
 of the second chapter of Nahum : 
 
 The chariots shall rage in the streets, 
 they shall justle one against the other 
 in the broad ways; they shall seem like 
 torches, they shall run like the light- 
 nings. 
 
 Wherefore I abhor myself, and 
 
 REPENT IN DUST AND ASHES 
 
 (Job 42:6). 
 
 To "repent in dust and ashes" is 
 to gain the spiritual realization of 
 mortal man's nothingness (dust), thus 
 bringing into operation the force of 
 Spirit, — the consuming fire of Love, 
 
 90 
 
which reduces to ashes all false 
 thoughts or beliefs, bringing the "for- 
 giveness of sin in the destruction of 
 sin" (S. & H., p. 497). 
 
 Only Begotten Son. 
 
 For God so loved the world, that he 
 gave his only begotten Son, . . . 
 
 (John 3:16). 
 
 These words have been universally 
 interpreted as indicating the sacrifice 
 of an only son. The word "Son," how- 
 ever, as here used, is the Christ-Princi- 
 ple, — "begotten," — derived from the 
 Father, and brought into the world 
 through Jesus. In other words, God 
 so loved the world that he gave, — 
 (brought to man through Jesus, the 
 only Son,) — the Christ- Principle or 
 only true understanding; begotten, — 
 derived from the Father; lived and 
 demonstrated by the Master. 
 
 Holy Ghost. 
 By means of the "Holy," or pure 
 spiritual realization that God is All, 
 and matter and mortal beliefs illusions 
 
 100 
 
(ghost), Spirit operates through the 
 consciousness, dispelling fear ("Perfect 
 love casteth out fear," I John 4:18), 
 and kindred beliefs, bringing comfort 
 to man through the quickening of the 
 body (Romans 8:11) into health and 
 harmony. 
 
 This Comforter of prophecy (John 
 14:6) comes only through Christ-un- 
 derstanding, and is Divine Science as 
 taught to-day. 
 
 Search the Scriptures. 
 
 Search the scriptures; for in them ye 
 think ye have eternal life. (John 5:39). 
 
 Search the Scriptures, for in under- 
 standing them ye realize ye have eter- 
 nal Life, through thinking. 
 
 I Have Called you Friends. 
 
 Henceforth I call you not servants; 
 for the servemt knoweth not what his 
 lord doeth: but I have called you 
 friends ; for all things that I have heard 
 of my Father I have made known unto 
 you. (John :s:is)- 
 
 ioi 
 
Jesus saw the spiritual man where 
 the mortal body seemed to be, and 
 through the mental reflection of divine 
 Intelligence, awakening the conscious- 
 ness of the disciples by making known 
 unto them all things he had heard of 
 the Father, he lifted their thoughts to 
 the understanding of their relationship 
 to God, — that they were spiritual, not 
 material, and hence passed from death 
 (John 5 :24) (the belief of life in mat- 
 ter) unto life (the understanding of 
 life in Mind). Having risen to this 
 spiritual plane, Jesus was able to call 
 them "friends." 
 
 After seeing Millet's celebrated pic- 
 ture, Edwin Markham wrote the well- 
 known poem: 
 
 " The Man with the Hoe." 
 
 The Author, after seeing Tnith in 
 Christian Science, has written an an- 
 swering poem: 
 
 "Man,— with Life Eternal." 
 
 By the kind permission of Mr. 
 Markham, "The Man with the Hoe" 
 
 102 
 
is herewith produced, together with 
 "Man, — with Life Eternal," in the hope 
 that the reader may, by comparison, 
 understand the distinction made in 
 Christian Science between the sinning, 
 dying Adamic race, — mankind, and 
 God's creation, — Man.
