A Gift From the Magi

When thoughts of peace good will toward man
ring out this special day, shall we forget what’s
going on around us?

Life today is a sea with waves rising in ominous 
regularity, and break in on the shore of our individual 
conscience. Are we prepared to discharge our duty?

We have a Department of War who’s business it is to 
wage war; why not have a Department of Peace whose 
duty it is to make peace?

The outstanding religion today seems to be Confucianism.
We need reminding from time to time that God is not baffled or bewildered by all of man’s muddles and follies. 

Is Religion based on what is grasped by brain or is Religion
based on what is grasped by the heart?
