WHERE IS DAVID?

Harold Molter

Almost three thousand years ago the Israelites won a victory over the Philistines when a young shepherd boy, named David, faced the giant Goliath, the personification of destructive materiality, and brought him down to defeat and death with a sling and a stone. About one thousand years later, the lowly Christ Jesus faced the world's hatred of spirituality and individually overcame every one of its false claims to presence and power. This great work was accomplished through the might of unselfed love and spiritual understanding and entirely without material weapons.

But the world was not yet freed from the specter of materiality claiming to control the lives and minds of men. Therefore in the middle of the nineteenth century there appeared another wonder in the world, described in John's book of Revelation as "a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet" (12:1). And this woman "brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron" (verse 5).

This Apocalyptic event signals the full appearing to mankind of the Science of the Christ, the Comforter promised by Christ Jesus. Its mission is to destroy the Goliath of material sense and to establish the fact of man's eternal perfection and safety in God, divine Love.
