f4T nobody suppose that "holiness" is a static, fix ed, and final state, a sort of mountain peak to be reached ~ .... once for all with no peaks beyond. ... To live is to go on. No person is holy who is not stretching out to be more holy. ... There is, too, no holiness which is an end in itself, which is sought for its own sake. Saint.s are not made for haloes or for inward thrills. They are made to become focus points of light and power. The true saint is a good mother, a good neighbor, a good constructive force in society, a fragrance, and a blessing. The true saint is a dynamic Christian. who exhibits in some definite spot the type of life which is fully realized in heaven. -RUFUS M. JONES 366 FRIENDS JOURNAL June 7, 1958
