Norfolk, Eng- land, Dec. 25 - (CP) m The King said in a world-wide broadcast to- day that mankind must make the most momentousiciioice of its his- tory and decide between the creeds of love and hatred.

There. as is usual, he is spending Christmas surround- ed -by members of his family. He spoke of the "grim shadow of war Changing over the world, making it difficult to feel the hap- -piness and merriment natural to Christmas. These troubled times often rc- minded him of John Biinyan's "Pilgrim's Progress." For. like the -pilgrim in that book. "we have Eons forward. only to fall back.” ”Like him. we have fallen back only to press forward once more," iihc King added. "We have passed through the valley of the shadow of death; -but always, with the determina- tion natural to our race and train- ing, we have kept our eyes fixed on the far-off delectable moun- tains of peace and goodwill." The King said it was not sur- prising that the individual pil- grim - "the Christian of that great book" - should feel almost over- whelmed by his own insignificance and bewildered -by continual blows of fate. ' But he counselled his listeners .not to take "Faint Heart" as their friend and guide. but to adopt as their motto: "Whatever comes or does not come, I will not be afraid." ' Important now. he declared. in the spirit in which each one carries out his appointedt task. He added: "Each one of us will have to de- termine whether to consolidate what past generations have achiev- ed for us, or to acquiesce in its being brought to nought: to pre- serve lihe spiritual inheritance common to our mother country and ilier kindred nations, or to witness its extinction.
