In the, tenth chapter of the Gospel according to St. Luke it is reported that Jestis sent seventy of 'bis dis- ciples out into the world te practice the science wbich he had been teach- ngthem. According,.to the -narra- tive, the seven ty retur n edý unto him with joy, sayiiig, " Lord, even the devils 'are subject unto us, through tby name."- To wbich Jesus replied, "Rejôice flot, that the. spirits are sub- ject. utoôyou;, but rather rejoice, be- caus e your niames, are written in be'aven." By whicb. of- course, he meant that, tbeyý were to rejoice nlot Sc much over the, works that they did as over the fact that tbey. had the- spiritual uniderstanding to do them., Inthose few words Jesus eniphasized the fact that one's spiritual under- standing-that is, 't he understanding of- God and man's' relation to. God- is a necessary prerequisite to the overcoming of m'ateriali conditions, and that the inevitable 'consequence, of such 'understanding or right thiking is,. amiongotbee things, in dividual dominion over materiality. We cati but infer, therefore. from his statements that the principal pur-- pose of our great Master's career was to endomw men with that mental equipment or spirituaiity which' would enable them to conforn to bis injunction ,to do the works that be did without restriction or limitation. Jesus' words, and works proved flot otly the supremacy of spiritual understanding in connection >witb things material, but they proved that as one .grows in the understanding of God 'and Godes, spiritual universe one's individual ability to control the material or the unreal is correspond- ingly enlarged and perfected. Jesus taugbt that spiritual understanding is a necessary foundation for al Christian endeavor; that the spirit- ual is the real, .and matter, or the. material, is unreal, because not of GCod, and tha t, therefore,. as. the spiritual gains ascendancy in our concept of creation, to that extent are we able to bring out in our ini- dividual experiences a more har- to God, ment bi and the and con, tii. ope ere insteacl of regtu ling the material thi n of thc human w or Barbara,.
