upon us that we need not pass through the portals of seeming death or seeing death.

If a man keep the Words of pure Truth he shall never see death, or experience death, or taste of the bitterness of death. We begin to realize in Truth and in Fact that we are regenerated, or reborn or born again. If this is a fact, if we really know and feel that we are born of the Spirit, then we know, absolutely know, there is no death; not only for us but for everyone. Some may even seem to pass through the condition called death, but it is because they set themselves that way.

Those that know, that come into the understanding of Truth, do not even have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death. As they get further into the understanding of the Truth they will speak to those that are in that seeming sleep, and they will wake up and go about the walks of life; they will be able to talk with their friends and relatives that have gone on just as Jesus did with Moses and Elias. And as they go on into a knowledge of spiritual things they will find that all things are theirs.

We get into the Kncwledge, the Truth, by denying away the falsity, or by turning away from it, by telling it to get behind us just as Jesus told the devil in the wilderness, Get thee behind me satan. We get rid of the belief in and of satan by denying its presence, its power, its wisdom; and just so we get rid of the fear of the last enemy by denying its power over us; its authority over us; its presence.

The last enemy to be overcome is the belief in death. Jesus met the belief and overcame it in others as well as in himself. We are commanded to follow him. We are to know that as he liveth in the Father, and the Father in him, so we are to live in the Father, and the Father in us; we are inseparable from the Father, and in the degree

that we realize this we do his work. We are of the Father, and the Father is of us.

We can't possibly be anything else but a likeness of the Eternal Presence. It seems to show Itself to Its children in so many ways, and we are constrained to say what Ruth said to Naomi, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee; for whither thou goest, I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.

We are created in the image, after the likeness, of the Living Spirit, and are to have dominion over all things in and of the earth, air and water. We have been spoken of as clay or earth, but we now know that we are not of the earth, not of the clay, but of the Supreme Life, and as we come into this knowledge we find it is Life Eternal. It is knowing God aright. God is Eternal Life, and to know Him is to know what Eternal Life is.

The more one studies or thinks about having dominion over the earth, the world, the clay, the flesh, which is all one and the same, the more they begin to realize the possibilities there are in store for those who hunger and thirst after the Truth. It is indeed the same command that Abram received, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee.

The Truth is continually leading us out of the land of our birth, out of the land where we have spent our youth, out of narrow places, out of fixed ideas, out of conditions that we seem to have been born into, out of and away from what our friends and acquaintances think and approve of, out of creeds and dogmas, out of churches and isms into the Promised Land.

Abram was told to forsake his father, country, city, home, and follow the bright star of conviction, and he

should be a blessing; and the Master taught that a man must forsake all for him.

He tells us that Abraham is yet alive, That God is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and that He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Just think of that, God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. The dead must have some other God than the God of our fathers, for the Master says very plainly, that He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. In fact there are no dead, they are all alive.

The Jews spoke of Abraham as being dead, but Jesus spoke of him as alive. He couldn't be dead and alive both, he must have been one or the other, and if he was alive then, he is alive now. Moses and Elias were shown to the discipies as being alive. Enoch was translated bodily and be must be alive. Jesus was seen by many, a long while after the crucifixion, and he tells us that where he is, there. we may be also. He must be alive. We speak of them all as alive and dead, let us stop it, let us begin to think of them as alive, well, happy, strong; let us speak of them as alive.

Some may say, don't you think it well to prepare to die? I say No! Do not prepare to die! Prepare to live! Begin now to put your house in order, so that you may live. Begin to search the scripture because ye think to find Eternal Life in them, and these are they which testify of me.

Eternal Life is to be had for the asking, Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you; all things.

"Tis Heaven alone that is given away,

'Tis God alone that may be had for the asking."

He that creates all things, is ever ready to renew. We take him at his word just as we take the word of anyone that we trust. Trust God and all things are yours.

Jesus trusted not man, for he knew what was in man, but he trusted God. God does not deceive us by seeming to promise things or hold them out with one hand and draw them back with the other.

ness.

He has promised Life, Health, Strength, Peace, HappiJesus shows us how to take hold of the promises, he shows us that there is no death. He made the sick, well; the blind, to see; the lame, to walk; he raised the seeming dead to life, and told us all how these things were done, and as we come to him, we find that we too are able to do the works that he did, and greater, if we go to the Father.

For it is the Father, the Supreme Life, working in and through us that doeth the works. It is the knowledge that the Supreme Life, the Father, is one with us; that the Father is everywhere, and that the opposite can be nowhere, for in God there is no death.
