Charles W. J. Tennant, Committee on Publication for London, England, in the Torquay Directory
In speaking of man made in the image and likeness of God, the Christian Science lecturer referred to immortal, spiritual man, and not to the mortal and material counterfeit. In the eighth psalm we are told of the real, immortal man as follows: "Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet." This is the man referred to by the lecturer as God's image and likeness—the Christ-man spoken of in the twenty-sixth verse of the first chapter of Genesis. The other type, which seems so real to the critic, is the mortal, finite, and material concept of man, whose "days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more," as referred to in the one hundred and third psalm. This is the counterfeit mentioned in the second chapter of Genesis. The material sense, which is false, must be given up for the spiritual or real sense of man. Mortality must be put off, and immortality must be put on, as Paul declares. Sin, disease, and death seem very real to the carnal senses of mortals, but they are not so to the spiritual senses of spiritual, immortal man. Christian Science is enabling those who understand it to know how to put off mortality and put on immortality.
