We have been blessed - - with a prosperous year. We have, among us an abundance of good things, sufficient for "ourselves and for those who are less fortunate than we. This is t’he-.blessedness of Christmas, that it awakens that Christian charity which sees beyond the happiness of self, beyond the sadness and the sorrow of self, to those other ones who are sitting in the shadow of poverty or of bereavement. “ The message of Christmas, ringing down through the ages, ringing in the darkness of poverty and sor- row, through centuries of strife, through prosperity and adversity, to “bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, . . ~ to give beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning; the garment 0f praise for the spirit 0f heaviness.” This is the message of Christmas, heard faintly in the gloom of troubled ages, in personal and national sorrow but never silent and today it rings out clearer and stronger and more Christlike than in any other age since the angels sang the glad song of triumph over the plains of Bethlehem. Charity, the very soul of Christianity, is more alive today than ever before; it is reaching out into the dark places nearaiid afar. It is binding up the broken-hearted, giving joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Let us unitedly encourage the. spirit of Christmas, the spirit of charity. There is work for, it to do in this favored province of ours, in this city} of ours and our Christmas will be all the brighter: and all the ‘happier because we have helped to smoothe thelway for some little one, because we have helped to bind up some broken heart. To all our readers we wish a Christmas made g 'oyous and happy throu h having contributed to the y’ 10y and happinessnofot ers. ~ PFIILK‘ 0P1 NI ON Sir Robert Peel, one of‘ Britain's greatest states- men,in the course of one of his greatest speeches, said-“England is governed by public opinion." This is asgtruc of Canada, as true of Prince Edward Island- as of England-- ‘ Public opinion is either the salvation or the damiiationof any country. It became the damna- tiomjof" Germany; it may in the not distant future, ‘if she has learned her mistake, become her salvation. Whether she shall settle down to a peaceful, indus- trialblife or revive her old dream of world domina- tion ‘will dependlupon public opinion. For forty years her public opinion wasbeing artfully moulded Mby a; group. of mllitarists who had themselves been led into “an exceeding high mountain” from which they were shown. “the kingdoms of the world and the glory" of them," and which they were made to believe they could possess. Instead of resisting the temptation they accepted the, conditions, prepared for the possession and eventually discovered they had ‘been duped. If their eople have discovered it also they will ‘henceforth ive in peace;' if not they will again go to their ruin. Next to our homes, the schools are the cradle and nursery of public opinion. It is ‘here that foun- dations are laid; here that a healthy wholesome outlook upon life, or the reverse of ‘it, is obtained; here that the difference between right and wrong is indelibly impressed upon the young mind; here that the right o_r the wrong of the coming man or woman is determined. “A great life,” said a French writer, “is a thought of youth carried out in mature years.” The reverse of this is also true, a small, nar- row misguided life is a thought of youth carried out in mature years. Life is largely what it is made in early years. The injunction “train up a child in the way heshould go and when he grows old he» will not depart from it,” has divine wisdom behind it, also ‘a divine command. ~ ' , "s-‘province and this dominion, is now being form- 'ir_i_ our homes and in our, schools.
