    4 Jesus plunged beneath the material surface of things, and found their spiritual cause. To accommodate himself to immature ideas of spiritual power—for spirituality was possessed only in a limited degree, even by his disciples—Jesus called the body, which by this power he raised from the grave, “ flesh and bones” ’ (p. 209). 4 Our Master declared that his material body was not spirit, evidently considering it a mortal and material belief of flesh and bones ’ (p. 297). What authority has Mrs. Eddy for the interpretation of the words in italics ? (They are not in italics in her text.) 4 Wearing in part a human form (that is, as it seemed to mortal view) . . . Jesus was the mediator between Spirit and the flesh, between Truth and error. . . . Christ was manifested through Jesus to prove the power of Spirit over the flesh—to show that Truth is made manifest upon the human mind and body, healing sickness and sin ’ (p. 211). How could Jesus deny the existence of matter and yet mediate between Spirit and flesh, and 4 show that Truth is made manifest upon the human mind and body,’ etc. ?
