Hints on Esoteric Theosophy #1. These letters are published with the permission of the writers, not because any of them are altogether free from errors and misconceptions, but because it is hoped that they may help to explain to all interested in the question the present position of Theosophy, and, by increasing the earnestness of all concerned in the movement, pave the way for more authoritative and less imperfect views on the whole question.

Thomas Hardy - Christmas Carollings

Andrew Norman

A tradition at Christmas was for the choir of local musicians and singers to assemble at the Hardys’ cottage, prior to setting out into the snow to do the rounds of local farms, homesteads, and manor house, in order to entertain their occupants. Hardy recreated this magical scene in Under the Greenwood Tree, published in 1872. 
In the days when labouring classes worked long hours, and for the majority, material comforts were small, Christmas was a time (aside from the formalities of necessary religious observance,) for the exchanging of news, folklore, legend and jokes. For those fortunate enough to be invited to the Hardys’ cottage on Christmas Eve, there was the added bonus of food and drink to feed the body, and music – home-made of course – to lift the spirits and nourish the soul.  
Hardy’s descriptions of such Christmases, as were celebrated by himself and his family, together with his colourful portrayals of characters – in particular the members of the ‘Mellstock Quire’ (Choir,) whom he described as his favourites - have delighted generations of his readers, and continue to do so.  
This then, is the story of Thomas Hardy and of Christmas; of what that greatest of all Christian festivals meant to him, and of how his beliefs changed as the years progressed.

An Essay on Christian Philosophy

Jacques Maritain

This important essay by the French Catholic philosopher articulates the foundation for his influential interpretations of Thomas Aquinas. Known for his influential writings that brought fresh relevance to the work of Thomas Aquinas, Jacques Maritain was one of the most important Catholic philosophers of the twentieth century. Although An Essay on Christian Philosophy is not generally considered to be among his major works, it is, in a sense, the key to unlocking his massive synthesis of modern Thomism. This provocative essay reveals the inner springs of Maritain’s ideas concerning mankind’s relationship to God.  This lucid translation by Edward H. Flannery includes a glossary of technical terms, making it even more accessible for the general reader.
