Christmas Is a Challenge

From the December 1950 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Christmas is a challenge,
A reminder to emulate the ways of Jesus,
Who with Christly thoughts
Conquered sin and death.

Christmas is a beacon light,
A quality of thought,
A consciousness that Truth is everywhere.

Christmas is timeless.
An all-inclusive tenderness,
A reminder of spiritual parentage,
With one grand brotherhood
Enfolded by our Father-Mother Love:

Christmas reflects the joy of Soul.
Teaching us to be our brother's keeper
So long as need shall be.
For spiritual progress,
Christmas is a challenge!
