Preface

The Christian life is the best and happiest that can be lived on earth. It is the life to which God calls us. It is that which Christ makes possible to us by his death, and into which the Holy Spirit brings us, if we accept the divine grace offered us in the Gospel. The Christian accepts the truth as it is in Jesus. He finds spiritual and eternal life through trusting in Jesus. He follows the example set by Jesus, and finds this the one sure and safe path through life. The Christian is trustful and tranquil; loving and loyal; thoughtful and thankful; helpful and hopeful. He makes the most of this world by trying to do the wil of God as long as he lives here. He makes the most of the next world by accepting from God's hand the free gift of eternal life through Jesus Chri&t the Lord. He has promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. Of all possible ways of living, this is highest, holiest, happiest and best. This life is to be not one-sided, but complete, symmetrical, developed in each department, foursquare in experience, worship, belief and service.
