As
the new year approaches, mortal mind is busy with many figures; inventories are being taken, profit and loss are being calculated, books are being closed, and symbolically, as literally a new page is being turned.
At
this season when custom bids mortals devote so much thought to gift giving and receiving, it were well to ponder earnestly the spiritual significance of true giving.
