December 29th.  The end of Salvation is perfection, the Christ-like mind, character, and life.  Morality is on the way to this perfection; it may go a considerable distance toward it, but it can never reach it.  Only Life can do that. . . .  Morality can never reach perfection; Life must. For the Life must develop out according to its type; and being a germ of the Christ-life, it must unfold into A Christ. Natural Law, p. 138.

December 30th.  Perfect life is not merely the possessing of perfect functions, but of perfect functions perfectly adjusted to each other, and all conspiring to a single result, the perfect working of the whole organism.  It is not said that the character will develop in all its fulness in this life.  That were a time too short for an Evolution so magnificent.  In this world only the cornless ear is seen:  sometimes only the small yet still prophetic blade.  Natural Law, p. 129.

December 31st.  The immortal soul must give itself to something that is immortal.  And the only immortal things are these:  “Now abideth faith, hope, love, but the greatest of these is love.”  Some think the time may come when two of these three things will also pass away—­faith into sight, hope into fruition.  Paul does not say so.  We know but little now about the conditions of the life that is to come.  But what is certain is that Love must last.  God, the Eternal God, is Love.  Covet therefore that everlasting gift.  The Greatest Thing in the World, pp. 54, 55.
