MESSAGE

Another year of life is now in the past, a new year is opened before us. What will be its record? What will we each inscribe upon its spotless pages? The manner in which we spend each passing hour will decide this question.
Let us approach this new year with our hearts cleansed from the defilement of selfishness and pride. Let us put away every sinful indulgence and seek to become faithful, diligent learners in the school of Christ.
As each new day unfolds before us, let us allow the true spirit of brotherhood to reign among us and strive to maintain the standards of the church. We must eliminate hostilities and personal satisfaction at the expense of others.
On this day we can only say thanks to God for His mercy and goodness towards us in the past. Let us take the time to consider that we are on the borders of the eternal world, only one step to make it in and that this is the place where we are going to be weighed in the balances. I hope none of us will be found wanting.
