The Times. Published on Tuesday and Friday Afternoons. Motto: Public service. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1920. CALL OF CHRISTMAS.

Once again in the piping times of j Peace the Christian world may cele-J bratc the festival of the Prince of Peace. Though memory fades not, the healing influence of time has softened the griefs of the millions whom the Great War bereaved, and all may now take heart of grace and join the merry throng. In the Motherland the extreme coldness of the weather necessitates much staying indoors, hence the traditional Christmas of the British Isles. But in fair New Zealand, jewel of the Pacific, Nature is more kindly at Christmas time, and humanity hereaway responds to the call of the myriad voices of the bush or the music of the waves. And although New Zealanders may not !bo able to arrange those delightful family reunions as conveniently as can be done J in Great Britain, they arc not infrequent. To-morrow the glad anniversary arrives. Let as take the opportunity on this eve of Christmas of extending to our readers the Good Old Wish.
