Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands; Sing forth the honour of His name: Make His praise glorious. Say unto God, How awesome art Thou in Thy works! Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thy enemies submit themselves unto Thee. All the earth shall worship Thee, And shall sing unto Thee; They shall sing to Thy name. Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the children of men. Come and hear all ye that fear God, And I will declare what He hath done for my soul. (Psalm 66:1-5,16)
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures casts out all error and reestablishes Spirit over matter, Life over death, Infinite over finiteness, Health over sickness and Light over darkness. God is perfect, and therefor, His creation must reflect His perfection. The natural state of man and the world is total perfection, eternal life, harmony, Peace, Truth, Health and infinite Love, and therefor, all that is opposite of this is illusion and error and is created by mortal mind. All that is evil, is projected into manifestation by mortal mind and the belief in matter and sin. Christian Science explains the method used by Jesus Christ in healing the sick, raising the dead and defying all the so called laws of matter.

Caesarea Philippi:
Also known as Baal-gad, Banias, Baniyas, Banyas, Barias, Belinas, Caesarea Neronias, Caesarea of Philip, Caesarea Paneas, Caesarea Panias, Caesareia Sebaste, Keisarion, Kisrin, Medinat Dan, Mivzar Dan, Neronias, Pamias, Paneas, Paneias, Paneion, Panias, Panium
Situated 25 miles north of the Sea of Galilee and at the base of Mt. Hermon, Caesarea Philippi is the location of one of the largest springs feeding the Jordan River.
This abundant water supply has made the area very fertile and attractive for religious worship. Numerous temples were built at this city in the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
Apparently known as Baal Hermon and Baal Gad in the Old Testament period, this site later was named Panias after the Greek god Pan who was worshiped here.
There is no record of Jesus entering the city, but the great confession and the transfiguration both occurred in the vicinity of the city (Matt 16:13), then known as Caesarea Philippi.
Grotto of Pan:
The spring emerged from the large cave which became the center of pagan worship. Beginning in the 3rd century B.C., sacrifices were cast into the cave as offerings to the god Pan.
Pan, the half-man half-goat god of fright (thus “panic”), is often depicted playing the flute. This city, which was known in ancient times as Panias, is now called by the Arabic form of this name, Banias.
Sacred Niches:
Adjacent to the sacred cave is a rocky escarpment with a series of hewn niches. We know that statues of the deity were placed in these niches by depictions of such on coins of the city.
One niche housed a sculpture of Echo, the mountain nymph and Pan’s consort. Another niche housed a statue of Pan’s father, Hermes, son of nymph Maia. Inscriptions in the niches mention those who gave large donations.

This image was scanned from an item in the Williamson Collection of some 450 photographic glass slides and other items, which was acquired by the archives section of the Auchmuty Library. The collection was assembled by Archdeacon A. N. Williamson, who served for many years in the Diocese of Newcastle, as well as travelling extensively in the South Pacific area. The collection vividly portrays town and country life in Australia, particularly in Sydney and the Hunter Valley, soon after the turn of the century. The collection also illustrates life in Japan, Papua New Guinea, Nauru and Fiji, from the turn of the century until the mid-1930s.
