THROUGH the understanding and utilization of the ever-present power of Life, God, the master Christian, Jesus of Nazareth, burst the bonds of belief termed death, and presented himself to his disciples, including the doubting Thomas, as the same loving Way-shower and friend they had known and trusted before the crucifixion.
