>488 CHRIST, THE MESSENGER.they bore a gigantic world on their shoulders. We arepunies and pigmies, and yet, we are doing the same task ;our little circle, in our little homes, our little crosses weare bearing. There is none so evil, none so bad, who hasnot some cross somewhere. There is no soul in the worjf1but has a skeleton hanging behind ;and with all our mistakes, with all our evil deeds and evil thoughts, 1 there isstill the golden thread somewhere, there is one bright spotsomewhere, in which we are always in touch with thedivine. For, know for certain, the moment that thetouch of the divine is lost there would be annihilation.And because none is going to be annihilated, there isalways in the heart of our hearts however low and degraded we may be, the re -is somewhere one little circle ofwhiCil ly in constant touch with the divine.lightThus, our salutations go to all the past prophets, whoseteachings and lives we have inherited, whatever mighthave been their race or clime ;our salutations go to allthose men and women, god-like, who are working tohelp humanity, whatever be the race, the colour or thebirth. Our salutation to those who are coming in thefuture, living Gods, working unselfishly for our descendants.
