And again we find the world dispensing hate and war, for the very reason that We have forgotten God! The earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein. He is a God of Peace. He is the King of Peace. And he has placed His sons and daughters here that they might live in peace and serve Him in righteousness. His Son is the Prince of Peace, whose message is a message of peace. And His Spirit will speak peace to all those who will turn their hearts to Him. As we approach a season heralded as one for glorifying God and proclaiming peace on earth, good will toward men, it is for us who believe, again, to dedicate ourselves to Christ and the cause spoken by the heavenly hosts when they announced His birth to the shepherds. f Turn to Christ: turn to Him with all your hearts. The plan of peace and salvation is to follow Christ as He follows the Father. Behold, I am the law, and the light, He says. Look unto Me, and endure to the end, and ye shall live; for unto him that endur-et- h to the end will I give eternal life. He who doeth the works of righteousness shall receive his reward, even peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to MARY' LOIS REICHERT . . .
