Preface
O those leaning on the sustaining infinite， to-day is 1
big with blessings. The wakeful shepherd beholds
the first faint morning beams， ere cometh the full radiance
of a risen day. So shone the pale star to the prophet-
shepherds; yet it traversed the night， and came where， in
cradled obscurity， lay the Bethlehem babe， the human 6
herald of Christ， Truth， who would make plain to be-
nighted understanding the way of salvation through Christ
Jesus， till across a night of error should dawn the morn-
ing beams and shine the guiding star of being. The Wise-
men were led to behold and to follow this daystar of
divine Science， lighting the way to eternal harmony. 12
The time for thinkers has come. Truth， independent
of doctrines and time-honored systems， knocks at the
portal of humanity. Contentment with the past and 15
the cold conventionality of materialism are crumbling
away. Ignorance of God is no longer the stepping-
stone to faith. The only guarantee of obedience is a is
right apprehension of Him whom to know aright is
Life eternal. Though empires fall， \"the Lord shall
reign forever.\" 21
A book introduces new thoughts， but it cannot make
them speedily understood. It is the task of the sturdy
pioneer to hew the tall oak and to cut the rough 24
granite. Future ages must declare what the pioneer
has accomplished.
