Year by year the struggle went on. Mist, and frost, and tempest', and darkness annually marshalled their battal­ ions only to be withered by the victorious shining of the glorious and triumphant sun. The idea in this apcient legend be interpreted by the Christmas experience. For Christmas perennially reminds mankiria of the yictory of light—of knowledge, of good will, of plenty for every son of Adam and love and reward for all who labor in faith and kind­ ness of heart. Victory, and not defeat, gladness and not sorrow constitute the destiny of man. Reverse and perplexity may mark his lot but as surely as earth’s mists do not’ destroy the sun so surely will God’s light disperse the darkest cloud misfortune ever stretched. In this Christian confidence The Exeter Times-Advocate wishes its readers the merries; and happiest of Christmas-days! INVITED TO AYLMER Rev. D.
