At this time of year Peace and Goodwill to All Men is more evident than at any other time. It is rather ironic that during war in the midst of indescribable hor- ror, goodwill and brotherly love is a way of life. Whether this fellowship and goodwill is the result of men living from minute to minute, I do not know; never- theless, it exists and it seems unfortunate that this emotion could not be felt now when most of us live in comfort and safety. It has been said and it seems very true that adversity brings out the best in man. We must always remember that our free- dom and all the blessings that we enjoy were obtained by the many who gave their lives for us; in so remembering it should be easier for us to forget our prejudices and petty grievances. The Royal Canadian Legion has always been mindful of this and its members try to show it by service to others. I would like to join all the Members of Branch 156 in wish- ing one and all a Very Merry Christmas.
