who seek happiness in things material, and forget that the
real man is the likeness of spirit, and that joy is spiritual. The
trusts, and the men of wealth, are not all malefactors; the churches
are not wholly filled with evil men. But all, yes all, have 'missed
the mark' through the belief that matter and evil are real, and must
grope amid sickness, poverty, crime, and death, until they are willing
to turn from such false beliefs, and from self, and seek their own in
the reflection of Him, who is Love, to their fellow-men. It is only as
men join to search for and apply the Christ-principle that they truly
unite to solve the world's sore problems and reveal the waiting

lie which has engulfed the world? But, oh, the depths of that divine
knowledge! The knowledge which heals the sick, gives sight to the
blind, and opens the prisons to them that are captive! We who are
gathered here to-night, feeling in our midst that great, unseen
Presence which makes for righteousness, know now that 'in my flesh
shall I see God,' for we have indeed already seen and known Him."

With them sat the man who, swept by the storms of error and the carnal
winds of destruction, had solved his problem, even as the girl by his
side told him he should, and had been found, when his foul prison
opened, sitting "clothed and in his right mind" at the feet of the
Christ. Jesus "saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit--God--like a
dove descending upon him--im
