George, age fourteen, is the only child at the small gathering in the evening. After dinner, around midnight, Gurdjieff gives advice. 'I wish give *real* Christmas present. Imagine Christ. Somewhere in space *is*.' Mr. Gurdjieff forms an oval with both his hands. 'Make contact. Not to center, but to outside, periphery. Draw from there, draw in *I*. Settle in you, *Am*. Do every day. Wish to become Christ. Become. Be.'"

Faith is therefore to be considered as the gift of God, not on account of its being offered by God to man, to be accepted or rejected at his pleasure, but because it is in reality conferred upon him, breathed and infused into him; not even because God bestows the power or ability to believe and then expects that man should by the exercise of his own free will consent to the terms of salvation and actually believe in Christ, but because He who works in man both to will and to work, and indeed all things in all, produces both the will to believe and the act of believing also.
