DESPITE the slum]) in our primary exports and the consequent unemployment- throughout (lie Dominion, (hose set backs should wii crush the Christmas spirit. This Dominion lias previously passed through periods of depression, Unit our natural recuperative resources have enabled us to recover and it will not he long ere we get back I" normal, provided we are all prepared to Jin instead ol' lean. However, we have much to he thankful Cor when we compare our position with other parts of the Empire. The Christmas spirit is not dependent altogether upon material wealth and prosperity, hut springs from a higher source, which, if properly understood, inspires its with hope and joy. The message of ‘‘peace and goodwill'’ dispels all uneharitableness and selfishness and points the way to real happi - ness. May this message dominate the hearts and actions of all this Christma-stide and enable us to see llie silver lining and to be happy and communicate- happiness to others. Tn this spirit we convey to our readers the time-honoured wish for a Merry Christinas and a brighter outlook for the New Year.
