  	    Beloved Students: — My heart has many rooms: one
12	of these is sacred to the memory of my students. Into
  	this upper chamber, where all things are pure and of
  	good report, — into this sanctuary of love, — I often
15	retreat, sit silently, and ponder. In this chamber is
  	memory's wardrobe, where I deposit certain recollec-
  	tions and rare grand collections once in each year. This
18	is my Christmas storehouse. Its goods commemorate,

  	many weary wings sprung upward! and how has our
27	Model, Christ, been unveiled to us, and to the age!"

  	and jewels, — all gifts of Christian Scientists from all
30	parts of our nation, and some from abroad, — then al-
