THE COMFORTER

PAT PHILIP ADKINS

Christ Jesus prophesied the coming of the Comforter. He said (John 14:16,17), "I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 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."

The high esteem in which Jesus held the object of his prophecy is indicated by the name he selected for it—the Comforter. Today Christian Science appears in fulfillment of the Master's prophecy. Moreover, this Science is proving itself to be the promised Comforter by restoring health and happiness to many. It makes no attempt to change the teachings of the Master, but rather does it interpret and amplify them in fulfillment of its mission as the Comforter.

Jesus predicted (John 14:26), "The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." Today the Master's prediction is coming true, for Christian Science does indeed call our attention to all that Jesus has said, including his command (Matt. 10:8), "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."
