One Comforter comforts all

BEULAH M. ROEGGE

The Comforter is the teacher is the advocate. You can't tell where one begins and the other leaves off in applied Christianity. The teaching and the defending are one in effect—one with healing. Predominance comes to this or that aspect as needed, though the functions cannot be separated. Where there is teaching there is healing; and where healing, teaching. Teaching and healing act as advocate to plead man's innocency.

Christ Jesus promised, "I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever." The Master explained, "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." John 14:16, 26.

The Glossary of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, in which Mrs. Eddy gives the metaphysical interpretation of Bible terms, contains this helpful definition: "Holy Ghost. Divine Science; the development of eternal Life, Truth, and Love." Science and Health, p. 588. Those who practice Divine Science find this Comforter, the Holy Ghost, to be not a mystical, obtuse religious term, but the Christly presence unfolding to them their true spiritual nature and the reality of the universe.
