Must Set Example
"Some one people must be first in
setting an unselfish example rising
above the greed of territory and coin,

that the AnglO-SaXon nations, not
withstanding their internal difficulties
will prove the rallying point for a
disunited world world wide family.

among this people the modern star of
Bethlehem rose. Here Christian
Scientists, clear in thought, patient in
love and calm in endeavOr, are in
f1uencing and moulding national
thought.
