The Risen Christ

GEORGE SILAS HADDOCK

A sense of deepest joy comes to all who discern the teaching of Christian Science as to the risen Christ. That which confounds Christ with person and relegates the divine idea to a remote past will not stand the light of inspired reasoning. If Christ left earth for a distant heaven two thousand years ago, then the comforting words, "Lo, I am with you alway," cannot be true. The recognition that Christ, as the divine idea, had never left us but was ever near, — this inspired Mrs. Eddy to say with earnest conviction (Poems, p. 12), —

And o'er earth's troubled, angry sea
I see Christ walk,
And come to me, and tenderly,
Divinely talk.
