We are about to step out of the old year into the new. Let us do so with the firm resolve to receive more and more fully into our consciousness the Truth of which the babe born in the manger nineteen hundred years ago, was the fleshly exponent. Let us shut him no longer out in the dark manger of our human pride and human selfishness. Let us open wide the doors and windows of our hearts that the Sun of righteousness may shine in. Let the matching of our lives to the life of Christ, be the centre and circumference of our purposings. As Christian Scientists, we have undertaken a deep and serious task. We may not trifle with our prerogative. To reflect the Christ in our lives is our mission, nay our Commission. It bears the seal of divine Truth; it is attested by the hand of Love.
