The Christmas season will ever remain in memory...

John C. Hansen

The Christmas season will ever remain in memory as an outstanding happy event of my life; for it was then that I saw the necessity of presenting my body "a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is ... reasonable service." "Acceptable unto God"! How simple it now seems! What led me to this harmonious presence was entering a Christian Science church out in the Philippine Islands, and there gazing on the words which I now know to be the truth—that, indeed, "God is love."

As a soldier in the regular army of the United States, both in this country and overseas, I had been aimlessly drifting about, searching here and seeking there, and wondering about the who, what, why, when, and where of life. Others seemed to find satisfaction in their church; why could not I? Had any one told me at that time that I would now be attending services regularly and using the teaching not only Sunday, but in everyday practice as I now am, I should have replied that they were talking in riddles.
