Christmas 1947
Hi Friends,
Here is the Christmas Greetings sent out by Charles Fillmore in December 1947 — seventy-five years ago. Exactly one year earlier, December 25, 1946, the Soviets had created their first atomic chain reaction and the world knew it would be only a short time before they would have a nuclear bomb.
But Charles Fillmore’s message is one of confidence, that God controls the world through his people, that only a few — united in truth and righteousness — will make way for our civilization to go “right formed to its fulfillment in the Millennium.”
Let's do what Charles Fillmore called us to do seventy-five years ago — to take some time this week, in preparation for the birth of God’s Love in the heart of all creation next Sunday, and align our mind with the Mind of God in earnest prayer for world peace.

Christmas, 1947
Dear Folks—
At the very beginning of this letter I was warned "But let your speech be Yea, yea and Nay, nay."
There are so many things I would like to discuss with you! What does the Lord say about the signs of the times, will there be another war? How about the prophets who say that our civilization is about to end?, etc.
Frankly, I have had no direct revelation on any of these points. I only know that our God, who controls this world through His people, is greater and far more powerful than all the destructive forces of the universe, and that if only a few of us stand steadfastly for truth and righteousness they will prevail, and our civilization go right formed to its fulfillment in the Millenium.
United in this truth we shall have a Merry Christmas and Very Happy New Year.
In the Unity of the Spirit
Yours faithfully,
Charles Fillmore
