the way of Truth and Life. This ideal was demonstrated throughout the whole earthly career of Jesus, showing the difference between the offspring of Soul and of material sense of Truth and of error."

Mrs. Eddy continues to harp on the phrase, "Rabbinical error." The entire term is unhistorical and illogical. The rabbis of Israel have held various opinions regarding Religion, and these views are scattered through a period of two thousand years or more. If the author had in mind the rabbis and Jewish teachers of the time of Jesus, she was very much mistaken in her estimate of their spiritual worth. Evidently, Jesus did not come to rebuke rabbinical error, but rather to confirm the doctrine of the rabbis and Jews of his day. The following passage from the Gospel of Matthew is proof sufficient. In the famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus paid the following tribute to Judaism: "Think not that I came to destroy the law of the Prophets. I came not to destroy but to fulfil, for verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or ore tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished. Whosoever therefore shall break one of the least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter the kingdom of heaven."
