"Time's pastimes"

MARGARET MURNEY GLENN

Christian Science takes no joyous holiday away from mortals, but it lifts these occasions to a vision of Christliness that adds to their permanence, usefulness, and refreshment. Through spiritualization of thought, or through thinking in a Godlike manner, we perceive the joyous facts of Truth which these occasions but typify, and thus we find that holidays afford an opportunity to demonstrate these facts.

Thanksgiving Day becomes to the Christian Scientist a daily experience, not a yearly holiday, although he welcomes this yearly reminder of the spiritual blessings which are his.

The early settlers of New England who observed this day were enabled, through the wonderful quality of gratitude, to glimpse God's presence, protection, love, and peace in spite of the discomfort, hardship, danger, and lack which they were experiencing.
