THE GARMENT

From the October 1895 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In Matthew 27: 35, we read, "They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots."

We read also that his garment "was without seam, was white as the light" — this robe of righteousness." And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them." We know that no material sense can purify this garment of ours — that it must be done by divine Mind,— washed in the fountain of incorruptible Love.

Now are we, as Christian Scientists, as followers of this blessed Truth,— parting this garment among us, or are we accepting it in its wholeness? Are we leaving all for Christ, dropping self at the foot of the cross, and walking in his footsteps, if it be with bleeding feet? Are we walking with our eye upon Him who leadeth, turning not to the material senses, as a reality, but overcoming all with the Truth of Divine Science, which puts to flight the manifestations of evil, it matters not how strong the seeming claim?
