----- ------ -- RESTITUTION
Written in the Vibration of a Master in The White Brotherhood
AUM is the vital key of the message of Immortality. When a Master
has arrived, he knows AUM. Jesus of Naza reth proved that he knew;
and AUM is the Presence in which each Atman lives. Buddhic Wisdom
and Devotion and Love, as taught, lived and proved by Jesus Christ,
of Nazareth, bring us to the Redeemed state now; not a mental now,
as anyone in the mind can say, “now.”
As an object lesson, look at a tree filled with buds. Ob serve the
expression of life through the tree. The bud is destined to become
the fruit. The fruit is destined to become ripe and perfect on the
tree. There is one Tree that is Life. This expresses throughout
infinity. The essence of Infinity is AUM; and each Atman is of that
Tree. The last birth in relativity is where Atman, by Jehovah’s
help, has become liberated from the bondage of the carnal
illusion.
This, being the time of Restitution, the subtle forces of the
Anti-Christ, are cunningly conniving to deceive the elect, who are
those old souls here to catch the Light, the Love, the Peace and to
partake of AUM. Blessed are those, it matters not of what race they
are or in which part of the planet they abide, who catch the
fragrance of the essence of the Reality, and assist now as the
Kingdom is being established by Jesus Christ, who functioned in
Jerusalem; and is now functioning in the Aliveness of the Eternal
Reality. Catch the deep key of the message here in Wisdom, Love and
Devotion, and per ceive that death does not belong in this
Dimension. The bodies are to be returned to the Father, and He, by
that Divine touch, causes Immortality to express through your
bodies.
AUM is Positive Essence. Relativity does not enter here. With the
balance, and anchored in AUM, let the Atman-
self rejoice, for the battle of Armageddon is drawing to its
close.

TRUE CHRISTIANITY IV. JESUS CHRIST AND THE FRUITION
By Dr. E. W. Miller Jesus Christ is now the Living Messiah. He is
the greatest
Master and Adept who has ever expressed on this planet. He is more—
the chosen Son of Aum-Jehovah; and, by Divine appointment, in
active charge of the Spiritual affairs of this planet. Jesus Christ
is thus, by Divine Right, the Head of the Great White Brotherhood,
which is composed of the Re deemed members of this humanity,
dwelling in “The King dom” now, and as Masters in Love, Compassion
and Wis dom, under the direction of the Messiah, busily engaged in
assisting in the establishment on earth of this “Kingdom of
Heaven.”
As the humble Nazarene, Jesus completed the circle of human
experience, solved every problem, became the Christed son of the
Living God, and before all men demonstrated his Mastery over the
third dimension and death. By Jehovah's help, his body was saved
and transmuted into Spirit; and Immortality in the body was proven
beyond all doubt. He was Redeemed in BODY, Mind, Soul and Spirit,
and ascended into the “Kingdom” in God-conscious Freedom. He was
and is the greatest Incarnation the world has ever had; and is now
recognized and appreciated by every Master in the White
Brotherhood, and every truly Illumined one on this planet, as the
Messiah in charge of the establishment of the Kingdom upon earth. A
similar recognition and appreciation of Jesus Christ, and
acceptance of Him as the Divine One who is to reign in Peace in the
Golden Age now at hand, will be of the greatest help to every
sincere soul earnestly seeking “The Kingdom” within and the right
to consciously dwell therein.
Aum-Jehovah is guiding the destiny of this planet, and whenever
humanity is ready for a step upward, he lights the way. The Light
of T ruth which Jehovah is causing to shine brightly now is the
true relation of Jesus Christ and The Great White Brotherhood to
humanity and the ushering in of the Kingdom of Peace and
Righteousness in this New Age. Jesus Christ is closer to the people
now than he was in the Jerusalem birth, because the time of FRU
ITION is here. The Great Drama is being taken up by Him, under
Jehovah’s guidance, where it left off in Jerusalem and the players
are being made ready to perform their parts. [ P a g e T w o
]
What is the FRUITION of “True Christianity,” as taught by Jesus
Christ? Mastership over the carnal dream or illusion or the third
dimension; full Buddhic Enlightenment or Wisdom; Freedom; and
Conscious Individual Immortal ity, or Redemption full and
complete, in BODY, Mind, Soul and Spirit. This result carries one
into the KINGDOM promised by Jesus Christ. This is exactly where
the Masters in the Great White Brotherhood stand, and they are the
rip ened fruit on the Tree of Life, and this is the goal of every
man and woman of this humanity. Many in bodies now are ready for
this great step, because this is the FR U IT IO N time —the
“Harvest Time” of Souls.
Jesus Christ, the great shepherd, is calling 'His Sheep,” and those
who know his voice will give heed, hear and enter the fold (the
Kingdom).
In this issue of the Greeting Messenger, in the article en titled
“The Devotional Path,” the journey of the Soul up the mountain of T
ruth is shown, and Mastership is the goal. Then the Kingdom is a
Reality and one is worthy to fellow ship with the Masters in the
White Brotherhood— “W hite” because the “White” or “Christ Path”
has taken him there, and he is given the “White Robe” to wear. As
stated in Flashlights of T ruth (page 221) ;
“ The prodigal son has now returned Home to his Father’s Flouse,
and the Father places the robe of Righteousness upon him, which
robe is his pure Spirit ual Body.”
In that article is also made clear the important parts played by
Jesus Christ and the Masters in the White Brotherhood in the Divine
Plan for the Redemption of each one of this humanity.
Jchovah-God is a conscious expression of the Infinite; Jesus Christ
is the Conscious Son of the Infinite in expression. That which
expressed the Conscious Mind of God in Jesus was the Christ, the
Son of God.— Flashlights of Truth, p. 414.
\
CHRISTMAS True Christianity of this New Day brings forth a
new
concept of Christmas and its deep significance. Christmas marks not
only the birth of a great Spiritual
teacher, but the beginning of a divinely appointed drama in which
the Nazarene, under Jehovah’s guidance and the help of the Great
White Brotherhood, climbed the steep Mountain of T ru th to the
very summit (Freedom Divine) solved the ‘ Problem of the Ages,”
overcame the "world” and the last enemy— death, and proved that the
Spiritual or Divine Self (Atman) may rise in supremacy over
nature’s laws in the relative world (Redeemed in Body and Mind)
into Life Eter nal or Conscious Individual Immortality.
Jesus Christ is the “first-fruit” of this humanity, be cause, in
his last birth, the Jerusalem birth, he completed his karmic
pattern and rose to a Spiritual height not attained by any other of
this humanity. Of his own life he said (Aquar ian Gospel of Jesus
The Christ, Ch. 178) :
“All my life was one great drama for the Sons of men. I lived to
show the possibilities of man.
“My human life was wholly given to bring my will to tune with the
deific will. When will of man and will of God are one the
resurrection is a fact.
“What I have done all men will do and what I am all men will
be.”
True Christianity brings the joyous message that Jesus Christ is
close with humanity now, to bring into outer ex pression (as the
Kingdom of Heaven upon earth) the Father hood of God and the
Brotherhood of Man, in accordance with, and in fulfillment of, his
promise; and to actually reign in Peace in this Fruition or Harvest
Time. Let us all rejoice, for the Kingdom is NOW at hand.
The birth of Jesus Christ brought Love Divine, Peace, Life and
Light to this planet to a degree theretofore un known. It brought
our Great Shepherd, our Elder Brother whose Love, Compassion and
Kindness is so great that he tenderly watches over, guides, helps
and assists each one, great or small, high or low. honored or
rejected of men, into the Love-Presence of our Father, Aum-Jehovah.

renewed: ’Till holy music fills all space, And Love reveals the
Master s face.
Rejoice, and sing the Song of Songs, That to the Child of God
belongs. Rejoice and sing: the Christ is here, T o spread abroad
the Christmas Cheer.
[ P a g e F i v e ]
HEALING
When the need for T ruth is great, the Father, Aum- Jehovah,
responds.
At present, there is a growing demand for definite Light on the
important subject of HEALING. Already the Father has responded. In
the publications authorized by the Great White Brotherhood (the
Masters never act except under the guidance of the Father),
particularly TH E FLASHLIGHTS OF T R U T H and THE HIGHER
METAPHYSICS, writ ten through the Holy Ghost, by Elizabeth Delvine
King, Healing Instructions from the standpoint of Truth Absolute
are given.
It is our purpose to present outlines of the vital teach ings
there set forth, with the prayer that many of our readers may come
to such a clear understanding of the subject of Healing from a
purely Spiritual standpoint that they may be able to follow
somewhat in the footsteps of our Elder Brother, Jesus Christ, and
be of service to those who need.
The foundation or rock upon which to stand is the Absolute T ruth—
Aum, whose Intelligence and Presence is everywhere. The stand on
this ‘'Rock of Ages”— Aum must be from the Divine or Atman-Self
concept; and not according to the imperfect, false and limited
concept of the carnal mind of man. Although the carnal mind fails
to perceive it, there is a gulf or dividing line between the ‘‘Mind
of God” whether cosmically expressed or manifesting in the
individual Atman, and the carnal, or human finite mind. Above this
line is that which is Spiritual; below it, that which is carnal and
mental. Mental activities, no matter how refined cannot reach or
pene trate the realms of spirit above this gulf. The Higher is the
Real; the lower is the counterfeit, or the shadow. Hence, the
Masters knowingly present “The Higher Metaphysics.” As stated in
Flashlights of Truth, in the chapter on ‘‘Science in Action” page
280, the man who steps out from under the "tyranny of the carnal
mind, takes as his foundation stone upon which to stand, ‘God is
All; there is none beside Him.’ From that foundation his next step
is, ‘God and his mani festations or expressions are all there is.’
This means, God and his Spiritual Creation, the universe and
systems and myriad of systems of universes and all within them,
includ- [ P a g e S i x ]
ing man, ‘the crowning glory of God.’ His next step is, ‘I, man, am
created by God, in his image and likeness.’ So reads the allegory
given in the first chapter of Genesis. This is the Absolute Truth
and is the foundation upon which to stand —the three stones in
one.”
This man, created in the likeness of God, is the Perfect Divine
Self of each one, which is now covered and obscured by the
encrustations (false concepts) built by selfishness and ignorance.
Within them are contained the causes of disease and death. They can
only be removed, ‘‘By the washing process of denials of their
reality and power, until the selfish desires are removed from the
mind. Then comes the garnish ing, which is accomplished by
affirming the Truth of man’s Being in God. When man’s mind is thus
emptied, swept and garnished, he will then ‘stay’ his clear mind
upon God, it be coming filled with T ruth and Good, and the result
will be that the Perfect (Atman) will come into expression. ‘It is
God who ever giveth the increase’.” (Flashlights of Truth, p.
349.)
This, in brief, is the scientific Prayer, not only for Health, but
for Freedom from the bondage of the carnal mind, its doubts, fears
and superstitions. There is a vital point about the Scientific
Prayer which deserves emphasis at the opening of these articles on
Healing. The one using it must ever remain clear in understanding
that "it is God who doeth the works.” (See Higher Metaphysics, p.
26.) Any departure from this recognition that God (not man) must
ever be the "doer” in all Spiritual Healing, takes the whole
process out of the field of action of the Spirit (AUM ) into carnal
or lower mind action, with an undesirable result.
As pointed out in the November number, Jesus Christ employed
nothing but Spiritual Healing. None of his work was in the carnal
mind plane.
Jesus Healed by the Sacred W ord (A u m )
And while they tarried in the place a man, a Pharisee, invited
Jesus and a few of those who followed him, to dine with him upon
the Sabbath day, to celebrate the marriage of his son.
Among the guests was one afflicted with a dropsical dis ease. And
Jesus said to those who had been sent to get from
[ P a g e S e v e n ]
his own lips some words by which they might accuse him of a crime,
you lawyers and you Pharisees, what do you say about the
lawlessness of healing on the Sabbath day?
Here is a man, one of your own, and he is sore distressed. Shall I,
in God’s own strength, say out the healing Word and heal this
man?
The lawyers and the Pharisees were dumb; they answered not. Then
Jesus spoke the healing Word and healed the man and he, rejoicing,
went his way.
— Aquarian Gospel of Jesus The Christ, Ch. 141.
TH E D EV O TIO N A L PA TH Written in the Vibration of a Master
in
The White Brotherhood The Divine Reality is that for which the
awakened ones
of all times have searched, among all peoples and in every age. The
Reality is found, understood and brought into expres sion by only
a very few. Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, brought the Reality into
expression here upon earth, having taken birth on the Hebrew Path,
in a Jewish family, among Jewish relations according to flesh, in
the plan through the guidance of Jehovah-God. Crude, indeed, were
the manners and cus toms of those people among whom he lived and
grew to man hood, meeting many baffling experiences with courage
and faith, as he knew the key of Prayer.
There were many prophets of old among the ancient Hebrews; Malachi
being the last prophet before Christ. If the reader will take a
short time daily and read a little con cerning the prophets and
their place in the Father’s plan, the outer mind will understand a
little more clearly the present times, the conditions and the
actions of the people. Moses was chosen by Jehovah, the Father, and
through miracles, through suffering, and very many years of
preparation even tually established that branch called the Hebrew
branch, about six thousand years ago; the purpose being that,
through those people and their descendants, the teaching be
gradually given. These prophets of God (the pioneers), blazed a way
through the wilderness and this way now stretches across [ P a g e
E i g h t ]
plains, the mountains, the deserts, and over the great ocean and
the islands of the sea and to the people of the Far East, where the
first and firm foundations were laid of religion, the first
recognition of God, through revelation, and the ancient Holy Ones
gave life after life in search of the great cause, the first and
only Reality. Many temples were built, some only caves in the side
of the mountain where these truths were taught to the initiates who
could gain entrance thereto. Down the ages this has continued and
there have been many temples built in different parts of the world
and in the desert.
There is a connecting link between the teachings given in the
Temples and Monasteries of India, of Egypt and in earlier times the
heart of Africa (of which very little is now known); also those of
Greece, Persia, Arabia and Palestine, and from there on
westward.
Jesus Christ took birth in Palestine, among a people quite far from
refinement and culture, as it is known in the civili zation of
this time, twenty centuries later; because Jehovah- God had chosen
these people for a divine purpose; for, as you know, the Father
seeth the end of events, even before they begin. The Christ was to
manifest at that time in a new expression of the Reality— God: and
it was his mission to prove the Divine "dominion” over the carnal
world, and all its influences. This, at the right time, Jesus of
Nazareth accomplished successfully, after he became the Christed
Son of God. which means, that Jehovah-God gave him the mystic
touch, making him a Master.
It is to be understood and known that the Holy Ghost is a gift from
the Father, and that it cannot be scientifically attained. It can
be attained only through Adoration, Thanks giving, Praise, Prayer
and Renunciation. When, through Re nunciation. the vessel is
sufficiently cleansed the Gift enters to abide within this somewhat
purified temple. Then it is that the Father truly assists the child
of earth (if he earnestly perseveres) until his temple becomes
pure, through and through. Then, when the Master, Jesus Christ, who
is the Guardian of Humanity, secs the one who is ready for the next
step, which is preparation for entrance into the Great Order, he
commissions the Masters whom he chooses to quicken and vibrate with
him. Thus the Masters finally find many who respond and come into
training. This is the Pro bation Path, at that stage. Then comes
the Initiations. Each
[ Page N i n e ]
V )
Initiation is given at the place upon the Path, where the Initiate
is ready to take a higher step. Vital, indeed, are these
Initiations. Few there are in the Western World who com prehend
their deep significance. However, the few are verily blessed and
assisted until the lessons are learned. When suffi ciently
learned, the call to Mastership attainment is given. Then it is
“alone” that the individual steps over the Path, but, hark! as soon
as the Master Consciousness begins to express within him, he
perceives no loneliness, and ere he has traveled in this degree
into deeper Mastership Consciousness, the Masters are his
companions and comrades. Alone! no, never alone. Mastership means
that the individual has made the conscious At-one-ment with the
Father. There is then no more going out, neither returning. He has
stepped aside from that wheel of night and day. He now lives in the
light supernal, where the mantle of green is spread, the flowers
bloom continually, the birds sing sweetly and everything is in one
accord— the Tranquillity of Aum in expression, and, lo, man loves
his fellow man, for God is, Christ reigns and man perceives Divine
Reality everywhere.
All down the centuries, those who have arrived at the day when the
urge within the Soul-Self leads them onward, as they feel
intuitively the call from on high, and searching deeply, perceive
the unsubstantiality of things and conditions in the home of the
carnal man. Then, reaching outward in the search for knowledge,
each one passes into and finally through the Hall of Learning,
having therein gleaned suffi cient knowledge and as he sees each
flower fade and each aspiration crumble, he then is ready for a
higher step, and passes the portal into the Wisdom degree. This, as
you know, requires many years, extending, in the majority of cases,
over many births. Thence onward to the Sacred Portal. Thence, in
Humility, Love and Thanksgiving to God, he enters the Devotional
precincts which lead to Spiritual Mastership. Jesus Christ, of
Nazareth, exemplified it on earth. Endeavor to follow his example.
It is his example that is to be followed in the daily life of the
disciple, and not the ecclesiastical teaching of the Hebrews, the
Jews nor the Christians.
There have been temples built for the searchers after the Divine
Reality all down the ages; many ages before the coming of Jesus. He
as a lad and a young man visited and studied in many of these
temples and monasteries. There is now being [ P a g e T e n ]
brought into expression the deeper light of the depth of Truth
leading to the birth, the life, the ministry and the works of Jesus
Christ, because as he comes again into mani festation as the
Messiah, in the midst of humanity, it is rea sonable to perceive
that his teaching, his coming and his mes sage, then given, cannot
be ignored in this time. The foun dation is well laid. It is Aum,
which has been known to the Illumined prophets, apostles and sages
of all times.
Now, as the continuation of Jesus Christ’s ministry is to begin in
a vital and definite way, speedily, every religion is being
clarified and harmonized that the Christ may find lodgement in its
midst. Man must know the Truth, as Jesus proclaimed. Scientific
understanding of the Spiritual Reality is required of the chosen
ones today. Thus equipped, and travelling on the Devotional Path
understandingly, they rest in action, in kindness to their fellow
man.
The mental current, flowing in the great mental wave, will become
dry and the mental wave cease, as Jesus Christ, the Messiah, again
comes into objective activity among the inhabitants of earth. There
will be a temple built on the Western coast of the great ocean
which rolls near your City of Light.
Jehovah-God is watching over; and Jesus Christ is guid ing, and
that which was given to the Hebrews, to Moses, to Abraham, to Isaac
and Jacob, as well as that which Jesus proclaimed, w'ill come into
expression, now, at this time. Become not confused in the midst of
the much confusion among the children of men. All religions will
become refined and transmuted into a higher Spiritual Light and a
higher vibration.
— Written at 927 West 36th Place, Los Angeles, June 24, 1926.
Jesus Christ lived upon the earth in the body of the flesh in the
Divine Consciousness that he is a Son of God. His teachings and
examples proved distinctly that the Father who sent him desires all
men. His Sons, to awaken from the illu sive concepts and become
conscious Sons of God. But that is not sufficient, for we remember
Jesus’ call to all men is, ‘‘Follow Me” ; and he met and mastered
death and took his transmuted body with him.— Flashlights of Truth,
p. 416.

ACTIVITIES OF CHURCH TR UTH UNIVERSAL— AUM
THANKSGIVING DAY was observed by Church T ru th Universal— Aum, and
our close friends, at the La Crescenta Valley Unit, at Highway
Highlands, 3612 Foot hill Boulevard, known as the "Aum Center,” in
a manner befitting the New Age. The day was given over to morning
and evening Devotional Services in the Spirit of deep Devo tion,
Thanksgiving and Praise to our Father-Mother God, Aum-Jehovah,
Jesus Christ, the Now Messiah, and the Mas ters in the Great White
Brotherhood.
In the morning, from eleven to twelve o’clock, were the opening
services for prayer and the singing of our New Age songs of Praise
and Devotion. Both the words and music of these songs are in the
vibration of the New Day.
At noon luncheon was served and those not serving chanted the
sacred mantrams which greatly assist in bringing into expression
the Christ Light and Love now being ushered in by the
Messiah.
At two o’clock there were held the main services of the day,
consisting of Prayers, singing our songs of Praise, and talks on
the Spiritual side of the observance of Thanksgiving, and the
blessings which are showered by the Father upon those who, in their
Devotions, strike deep notes of Gratitude and Thanksgiving, not
only on one day, but on every day.
On Friday evening, November 20th, at the Science-Phil osophy
Studio, 414 Phillips Building, 224 South Spring Street, a reception
was held for those interested in the Light and Message of the New
Age. The reception was arranged by Miss Edna Phillips, who is in
charge of the activities of the Studio. There were talks on
Immortality and other vital subjects concerning the New Order, and
the passing of the old dispensation. Refreshments were
served.
It is at this Studio that Rev. Elizabeth Delvine King, con ducts
devotional services and talks on Aum-the Foundation, and True
Christianity, each Thursday at 2:30 p. m.; and Dr. E. W. Miller
holds devotional services and talks on the Love and Wisdom Message
of the New Age on Friday eve nings, at eight o’clock. [ P a g e T

CHILDREN’S DEPARTM ENT Christmas
The Birth of Jesus, the Christ
The Christmas-season is here! These words are glad tidings to all
of you, dear Little Ones, because you have been living in the
expectation of the joy and happiness which Christmas will bring.
Now let us this year see if we can approach this sacred season of
the year as children of the New Day.
Up to this time people have been celebrating Christmas, the Birth
of Jesus, in a most peculiar way, that is to say, by feasting,
merry-making and giving presents to each other. It has even gone so
far, that Christmas, and all the preparations for this day, have
become a burden and hardship to many people and the true Christmas
spirit is seldom found any where.
How different from these noisy celebrations in the outer was that
sweet, silent, holy night, near two thousand years ago, when in the
hills of Bethlehem the Christ-babe was born. In The Aquarian Gospel
of Jesus The Christ, we read (Chapt. 3:3-15) :
“Bethlehem was thronged with people going to Jerusalem; the inns
and homes were filled with guests, and Joseph and his wife could
find no place to rest but in a cave where animals were kept; and
there they slept. At midnight came a cry, A child is born in yonder
cave among the beasts. And lo. the promised son of man was born.
And strangers took the little one and wrapped him in the dainty
robes that Mary had prepared and laid him in a trough from which
the beasts of burden fed. Three persons clad in snow-white robes
came in and stood before the child and said, All strength, all
wisdom and all love be yours, Immanuel.
“Now, on the hills of Bethlehem were many flocks of sheep with
shepherds guarding them. The shepherds were devout, were men of
prayer, and they were wait ing for a strong deliverer to come. And
when the child of promise came a man in snow-white robe appeared to
them, and they fell back in fear. The man stood forth
[ P a g e T h i r t e e n ]
and said, Fear not! behold I bring you joyful news. At midnight in
a cave in Bethlehem was born the prophet and the king that you have
long been waiting for.
"And then the shepherds all were glad; they felt that all the hills
were filled with messengers of light, who said, All glory be to God
on high; peace, peace on earth, good will to men.
"And then the shepherds came with haste to Beth lehem and to the
cave, that they might see and honor him whom men had called
Immanuel. Now, when the morning came, a shepherdess whose home was
near, pre pared a room for Mary, Joseph and child; and here they
tarried many days.”
Long had the people of Israel been waiting for this child of
promise, Jesus, the great Master, who took birth at the Father's
call, to lead the children of earth to the Light, and to become the
wayshower for this humanity. Greater and of more importance was his
work than that of any king, yet he came as the lowly Nazarene, born
in a cave and laid in a manger. But the Father’s living, loving
presence was there as well as if he had been born in a palace, and
Jehovah God sent his own ambassadors, the Masters from the White
Brotherhood to be near the Babe in this holy night. These
messengers from God appeared to the shepherds on the hills and the
very air was filled with the glorious song of "peace, peace on
earth good will to men,” and the refrain of this song of peace has
never ceased to vibrate over and through this planet. The shepherds
came to bring their gifts and honor the child.
That was the holy night of the Birth of Jesus, the Christ. The
holiness of that marvelous night will never van ish. The divine
Silence and the glorious Light, was God's Presence and his Glory
manifesting on earth when this child, who was Love Divine, in form,
was born.
Jesus Christ’s coming at that time has proven to be the greatest
blessing to humanity, and the example of his holy life, full of
Love to God and Kindness to his fellow men, stands as a beacon
light before us all and he said, "follow me.”
Tw o thousand years have passed and we are now stand ing at the
dawn of a New Day. The glorious Day of Peace [ P a g e F o u r t e
e n ]
on earth is at hand, and this sacred Christmas season is like the
holy night at Bethlehem. All the world is waiting for the Messiah,
but He is not coming to take birth as a babe. He is coming as the
Prince of Peace proclaiming the King dom of Heaven and peace upon
earth. Just as the night was dark in Bethlehem, when Jesus was
born, so is the night dark here on earth now because people do not
understand clearly concerning these times and they are in darkness.
Now, those who are awake and watchful, as the shepherds were, see
the Light of God lighting the heavens now and they hear the same
Peace chanted by the messengers of Light, who are the Masters in
the White Brotherhood; and they hear the call of Jesus, the
Messiah, who chants “Peace, Peace, Peace,” without ceasing.
Let us, like the shepherds, joyfully answer the call and in love
and adoration bring our gifts to Jesus this year. What do you think
might be a gift that is acceptable to the beloved Master? “Give me
thy heart,” God has often said. The heart within us is the place
where we meet Jesus; but Jesus can only enter there when the heart
has been cleared of all selfishness, greed and hatred. This means,
that we have to hold housecleaning first.
The domineering, selfish, carnal self has to be swept out and kept
out, so that our real self, the child of God in all its Purity,
Love and Kindness, can invite Jesus to be the guest and to come and
abide.
Give Him your hearts, oh Little Ones, and invite Him to abide with
you this Christmas season and always. Jesus will respond to your
call for he stands at the door of the heart of every one. Then
partake with him of the manna of heaven, the Peace that he brings,
now.
Be grateful and appreciate all the things kind parents and friends
give to you. Do not forget to share with those who are less
fortunate than you are at this time; but above all let us be awake
as the children of the New Day, like the shepherds were, and
partake of the blessings of this holy time of Christmas in a more
understanding way. The gifts from friends will pass away; but the
gifts and blessings of our Father-God will be everlasting to those
who will open up to them, and, in the true Christmas spirit, let us
join in the sacred refrain, "All Glory be to God on High; Peace,
Peace on earth, Good-will to men.”

PEACE By Dr. E. W. Miller
Peace is the Christ, and its symbol the dove; Love brings this
Peace from the Kingdom above. Aum is this Peace, and this Peace, it
is Aum; Sweet is this Peace of the Christ, it is Aum.
Peace is the Heart of all Hearts; Peace is Aum; Peace is the goal
of all Souls; it is Home. Peace is the blending of Wisdom and Love;
Peace is a gift from our Father above.
Jesus gives Peace to the faithful and true; Peace is the blessing
the Christ brings to you. Peace is the Kingdom of God; it is Aum;
Jesus chants Peace just to call you back Home.
“Peace to the Heart of the bird and the beast: Peace to the Heart
of the greatest and least; Peace to the Heart of all men; Peace to
all; Peace to the Heart of all Hearts,” is his call.
(Chorus)
Peace, Peace, Eternal Peace; Peace, Peace of the Christ, Sweet
Peace; Peace, Peace, Jehovah’s Peace; Peace, Peace to all Hearts,
Sweet Peace.
