Angelic Overtures of Mary Baker Eddy's
"Christ and Christmas"
  Alice L. Orgain

Excerpt from FOREWORD:

"THE TITLE of this book, Angelic Overtures of Mary Baker Eddy's Christ and Christmas, has been chosen in the light of Mrs. Eddy's placement of Christ and Christmas in the charge of 'angels, with overtures' to 'announce' its 'Principle and idea,' her statement in an article in Miscellaneous Writings under the title of 'Christ and Christmas' reading as follows: ' ... Christian Science and its art will rise triumphant; ... Angels, with overtures, hold charge over both, and announce their Principle and idea' (Mis. 374: 11-16)--implying that such angels alone hold the key to the interpretation of Christ and Christmas. Could a book which draws its every life breath from the inspiriting premises of Mrs. Eddy's own statements do other than place itself under the same angelic charge by its title, thereby insuring that its presentation will be true to Mrs. Eddy's vision and song?

Thus Mrs. Eddy has locked the interpretation of Christ and Christmas with the golden key of the spiritual idea which hears only in tones of the musical cadence of angelic 'overtures,' and so speaks to human heads and hearts. . . . " (p. vii)
