Madam, - The article on "Coping with the mid-December blues" (Thinking Anew, December 13th) was one of the most inspirational writings I have ever read, and will forever treasure.
The author quotes the exhortation from St Paul to us to "Rejoice in the Lord always", and turn all our anxieties and needs over to Him, in the sure assurance that he can and will sustain them.

A salutory message for this time of the year! - Yours, etc.,
