"We exist only because of the gift of life.
We continue only because of the bounty of Nature which forever supplies, but demands little.
All the essentials of life were originally given to us, and we were fashioned as gardeners to guard and use the treasures and riches of the earth.
Good is, was, and ever shall be, and from Good flow the work of goodness, that we may be happy and secure."
— Excerpted from Manly P Hall's Pamphlet - 'A Christmas Message'
