In
his earthly ministry Christ Jesus made it very clear to his followers that in order to escape the injurious effects of limiting and enslaving beliefs they must continually be on guard against wrong thinking.
Several new members have been received into the organization during the year, and the normal attendance at the regular meetings has, on the whole, been maintained.
