THE GOSPEL AND THE CHRISTIAN.

"And Jesus went about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of diseases among the people" (Matt. 4:23). "Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God (the kingdom of the Spirit and Life) and saying, The time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God (the Kingdom of Spirit and Life) is at hand, repent ye and believe the Gospel (repudiate the flesh and consider God as the only true life)" (Mark 1: 1415). "And He said unto them, Go ye, unto all the world, and preach the gospel (life) to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned, and these signs shall follow them that believeth (that consider God as life and come into the conscious realization of Him as life) in My name, shall they cast out devils (carnal thoughts and desires of the flesh) they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents (carnal desires) and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover" (Mark 16:15-18). "And this gospel of the kingdom (of life) shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all the nations and then shall the end come." (Matt. 24: 14). "And Jesus went about all their cities and villages teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom (life) and healing every sickness and every disease among the people" (Matt. 9:35). The question is, what is the Gospel? Jesus, the Christ, defined it both in deed and precept. He defined the Gospel in deed and in act by healing the sick and restoring men unto their right minds; and He define dthe Gospel in precept and principle when He forgave the sins of men and cast out the lust of the flesh from

the consciousness of their souls and restored their souls to life. There was no death until man sinned; until man indulged the lust of the flesh and then man died. Man is not a material, a corporeal being; but man is a spiritual being, made in the image of God, who is spirit; and man reflected the life of God as long as man retained the image of God; but when man the spiritual being, who was made in God's image, partook of the lust of the flesh in thought, mind, desire and consciousness, man, the spiritual being made in God's image, lost the image of God and the soul died spiritually, and the corporeal man died physically. The spiritual death of the soul, and corporeal sickness and death are the results of sin. There are sin, sickness, disease and death, but they are within the senses of the corporeal man; and as the man, made in God's image, partakes of the lust of the senses of the corporeal man, in thought and desire, he becomes spiritually dead and the corporeal man suffers sickness, disease and death. It was the thoughts of the senses-the desires of the lust of the flesh-the carnal mind-which was placed at the Garden that constituted the cherubim and the flaming sword, which turned man out from the image of God and produced all the sickness, disease and death to which man is heir. The lust of the flesh-the carnal mind-is death. The Divine Mind is life. The carnal mind is of the senses -the lust of the flesh. It is composed of male and female in thought. It is of mortal creation in mind, thought and desire. The Divine Mind is of God. It is neither male nor female-it is life. God is the only life that there is in the Universe. All spiritual creation reflects God as the only life. The Gospel is the God Mind-the good news of the good tidings-the good thoughts-the spiritual thoughts of the Divine Mind as they flow into the soul, imparting life to the soul, and eradicating the death sting of the serpent and the consciousness of the lust of the flesh from the soul. The Gospel is God-the Divine Mind, imparting the Divine Mind-life-to the soul. When God created man in His image, He imparted life to him and he became a living being. That is, the Divine Mind, imparted life to the soul, made in God's image; and the soul became a living being, reflecting the image of God, who is life. When the soul partook of the lust of the flesh in thought, desire and act, the man made in God's image

lost the image of God as life, and had carnal desires and thoughts. The Gospel is the Divine Mind restoring the soul to life by regenerating it and casting out the consciousness of the lust of the flesh from the soul, and imparting life to the soul-restoring the soul to the state of life which man possessed originally, when made in God's image. The Gospel is God, the Divine Mind, the all life-the Universal Intelligence, revealing Himself as life to the soul and eradicating the desire and the lust of the flesh from the consciousness of the soul. The Gospel is the Divine Mind in thought and life within the soul, and where Divinity and Life are, the lust of the flesh and death cannot be. Jesus preached this Gospel-this kingdom of life this Divine Mind-this all life, because He was conceived by the power of life and the Divine Mind; and because He had been anointed, and had received the Life of His Father-all Grace as the Gift of Life. Wherever He preached this Gospel-this kingdom of life-the Divine Mind of God-the Universal Intelligence of the Universe, Life was imparted to the souls of men and the death sting of the serpent-the lust of the flesh and the carnal thoughts and desires of the flesh were eradicated from the souls of men and the souls of men restored to life and the corporeal bodies of men to health. The Gospel-the kingdom of life-the Divine Mind casts out the evil thoughts of the flesh from the mind, consciousness and the soul of man, and restores the man to his right mind-to the mind of God, who is spirit and life. Wherever Jesus went preaching, He imparted life to the souls of men and restored them to their right minds and healed their material bodies. The Gospel is Life to the Soul; it is the all power; it is the All Life; it is the Divine Mind eradicating the carnal mind from the soul and thoughts of man. The Gospel-the kingdom of life -the Divine Mind, casts out every evi! thought of lust, avarice, greed, malice, hatred, murder and death, and restores the soul to life; to the thoughts of love, harmony, peace, charity, chastity, and life. The soul that has received the Gospel has received the gift of life, and thinks thoughts of God, which are love, purity, and life. There can be no sin, sickness, disease and death, except within the mind of the serpent-lust, avarice, greed, hatred, murder, malice, and death are the results

of sin—the lust of the flesh. All diseases of the corporeal man and of the soul are results of sin-the death sting of the serpent. The Gospel-the kingdom of life-the Divine Mind, eradicates this death sting of the serpent, from the soul, heals the corporeal body, the diseased mind and the sick soul. There can be no healing of the soul, without the Gospel of the kingdom of life. The soul which is dead to the lust of the flesh must receive the impartation of the Divine Mind of God, the all life, before it can realize God as Spirit and Life; until this veil is "rent from top to bottom," there is no life for the soul. The Gospel --the Divine Mind of God-the All Life-imparted to the soul as life, rents this veil-the lust senses-from "top to bottom" and restores the soul to life, to purity of thought and love. The same Divine Mind that imparts life to the soul and casts out demons-carnal thoughts from the soul-and restores the soul to life, restores man to his correct mind and heals the material body. The soul that is conscious of God as life, that soul has had the Divine Mind-Life-imparted to it; it is neither sick nor dies; such a soul is in the image of God, the Father, and thinks thoughts of the Divine Mind, and has complete power over all disease, sickness and death.

The Gospel-the Kingdom of Life-the Divine Mind revealed to the soul as life heals the sick soul, restores the deranged mind and cures the diseased corporeal man, that soul has had a revelation; it has had the veil liftedthe lust desires removed from the soul. When the human family shall have subdued the flesh and overcome the sensual, the corporeal man will no longer be diseased; insanity will cease, and souls will live unto God. Eliminate the mind of the serpent from the consciousness of the mind and the soul of man, and the corporeal man will cease to be diseased and mentally deranged and the soul will live unto God. The mind of the serpent-sensuality -is the father of all diseases of the corporeal man, mental derangements and the death of the soul of man. And "these signs shall follow them that believe, in My name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink of any deathly thing is shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover" (Mark 16: 17-18).

The Divine Mind imparted to the soul casts out devils -the thoughts of sensuality and lust-imparts life to the soul; the soul speaks with a new tongue-the language of the spirit and life. The Divine Mind imparted to the soul eradicates the serpent-the lust of the senses-from the soul; and where the lust of the flesh is eradicated from the soul, there is no disease in the corporeal man nor death in the soul. The lust-the senses of the flesh—the mind of the serpent, cannot impart death to the soul, when the Divine Mind is imparting life to the soul. Death cannot be where life is. The soul that is thinking the thoughts of the Divine Mind is not thinking the thoughts of the senses-the lust of the flesh. The soul that is thinking thoughts of the Divine Mind has had life imparted to the soul. The Holy Life has come upon that soul and that soul has complete power over sin, sickness and death. The Kingdom of Heaven is the Kingdom of Life-the Kingdom of the Divine Mindthe Holy Life. The Kingdom of Heaven-the Kingdom of God the Gospel-is the Holy Ghost-the Holy Spirit -the Holy Life coming into the soul eradicating the thoughts and the consciousness of the lust of the flesh from the soul and restoring the soul to life. This is the Gospel the Divine Mind, imparting life to the soul. The soul that has had this revelation of the Divine Mind -this lifting of the veil of the senses from the soul— has come into the Kingdom of the Divine Life, and thinks the thoughts of the Divine Mind and not the thoughts of the lust of the flesh. Such a soul is in the Kingdom of God-in the Kingdom of Life and can commune with the angels and understand their language of spirit, as did Mary when Gabriel spoke to her and she conceived Jesus. The soul that has not had this impartation of life-the Divine Mind revealed to it as life, has not had the veil of the senses removed from the soul and thinks thoughts of the senses-the lust of the flesh and is spiritually dead. The Gospel-the Kingdom of Lifethe Divine Mind, revealed to the soul is the Holy Ghost, the Holy Life, the Holy Spirit, generated into the soul, restores the soul to life and heals the corporeal man. The real man the man made in God's image and who is spiritual, is neither sick nor dies--when he bears his correct relation to God-the Divine Mind-and lives with
