Florence Wattles on a Very Special Christmas

"'You knew, didn't you, that he lost a good position in the Methodist Church because of his 'heresy'? He met George D. Herron at a convention of reformers in Chicago in 1896 and caught Herron's social vision. I shall never forget the morning he came home. It was Christmas. Mother had put her last dollar into a cuff box and we had placed it beneath an evergreen branch which served for our Christmas tree and which we had illuminated with tallow candles and strung with popcorn. Finally Father came. With that beautiful smile he praised the tree, said the cuff box was just what he had been wanting - and took us all in his arms to tell us of the wonderful social message of Jesus, the message which he later embodied in A New Christ. From that day until his death he worked unceasingly to realize the glorious vision of human brotherhood."

"You knew, didn't you, that he..."

Writing of her father, Wallace D. Wattles, in a letter to his primary publisher, Elizabeth Towne, shortly after his untimely death in 1911, excerpts of which were published in a later edition of The Science of Being Great...

"... lost a good position in the Methodist Church because of his 'heresy'? He met George D. Herron at a convention of reformers in Chicago in 1896 and caught Herron's social vision. I shall never forget the morning he came home. It was Christmas.
