"A man sent from God"

HENRY J. ARMSTRONG

Christ Jesus said, "Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things," and our Leader defines "Elias" in part as "Christian Science, with which can be discerned the spiritual fact of whatever the material senses behold" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 585).

It may be observed that some sincere students of Christian Science in their warfare of extermination against all human beliefs are apt to be so dismayed by the odiousness of evil that they do not realize the full joy and satisfaction they should have in their work, and are sorely tempted to become discouraged. These workers need more clearly to realize the truth of Mrs. Eddy's statement, already quoted, that Christian Science enables us to discern the spiritual fact of which the material belief is a counterfeit, and to prove that this realization gives us dominion over material belief.

"Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things"—restore the right sense of body, of business, home, and environment, the right sense of God and man. Jesus said, "I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." In fulfilling the law of God, he restored the normal sense of things, for in the light of his clear discernment of the spiritual fact, no abnormal sense or condition could claim presence or reality.
