[4 GIFT OF LOVE | A young wife sat i in her modest home thinking about the coming holiday season. She felt a deep desire to ‘give gifts to several friends, but her financial resources were small. So there she sat on that cold December day cherishing this idea of giving, Such a desire is really a form of prayer. So it wasn’t surprising that his woman, whose name is Marion, shortly came upon a solution. She reasoned that she could give the one gift most needed in the world-care and compassion, affection and love for her fellowman. As a student of Christian Science, she had glimpsed through its study the deeper meaning of love, and its availability to everyone, because it comes from God, who is Love. She remembered what Christ Jesus said to his followers at their last meal together before his crucifixion: ‘A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have Jove one to another.” As the woman prayed to know how she could show this love most effectively, it occurred to her that she did have a practical way of giving. She could visit three people who she felt expecially needed the warmth of friendship at that time. The couple she first visited were overjoyed to see her, When she left they insisted on giving her a gift they had just received, a Jarge box of oranges. The next friend lived alone and was as delighted as the couple had been to welcome Marion. A mid- afternoon snack was served with delicious orange marmalade that the hostess had made, She offered to show Marion how to make it. Marion replied that she had a large box or oranges in the car just waiting to become marmalade! And where did the newly made marmalade go? That’s right--to the friends Marion had been wanting to share gifts with. . Thus through turning to God for an answer to an unselfish desire to bless others, this woman truly expressed that infinite Love which is so vital and all powerful. Since God, divine Love, is ever present and the source of all loving, we have a rich abundance to give and the opportunities to give it. In a splendid ‘article entitled “Love,” in her book Miscellaneous Writings, Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, characterizes that highest sense of love which Jesus taught and demonstrated: ‘Love is not something put upon a shelf, to be taken down cn rare occasions with sugar-tongs and:Jaid on a rose-leaf. I make strong demands on love, call for active witnesses to prove it, reslls.” sacrifices and grand achievements as its results.” Area pioneer dies in November Ole Nelson, longtime reaident of Terrace, is dead at age BO.
