The 'King
KING GEORGE VI , broadcast to the
Conunouweaith from London Christmas Day,
December 25. His. Highness said:
Since I spoke to you last Christmas storms
have begun to- come to the horizon in spite
of all our hopes and endeavors. To many of
you sitting listening to me in your homes,
this fact must be uppermost in your minds,
It is herd to feel the happiness and merri-'
meat which naturally belong, to Christmas when
the grim shadow of war hangs: over the world.
• For, within, the laet few months, our country,
men have once again been called upon to lay
down their lives on the field of battle.
Deep Anxiety
Once more the sorrow of mourning has
come to not a few British homes, In many
more there is deep anxiety for sons and bro-
thers who' are facing death, enduring hard-
- ship and sickness far away beyond the sea.
To those homes, on Christmas Day, the
thoughts of the Queen and myself 'turn first.
We ,pray that Christmas may bring to them
comfort in their present trial and courage
to face whatever the future may hold in store.
lit is 13 years now since I first spoke to
you at this season. During that time we have
been through many vicissitudes together.
There have been vast alterations of good for-
tune end bad. It would .be foolish to pretend
that it has yet 'become smooth and easy.
I am often reminded of a book, one of
the most famous in the English tongue, which
was much loved and widely reed by our fore-
fathers, and is not unknown to many of us
today,
It seems to me that this book :the Pilgr'im's
Progress—still offers a yivid picture of our
life in this troubled world.
Like the pilgrim, we have gone forward
only to fall back, Like .him, we have fallen
back only to press onward once more. We
have passed through the: valley of the shadow
of death; but always, with the determination
- natural to our race and training we have kept
our eyesfixed on the faroff, delectable moun-
tains of peace and goodwill.
And, like the pilgrim again, everyone of
us has laid his own individual burden to
shoulder. Too often we have laid it down for
a brief respita only to be obliged to pick it
up once more and find it heavier than it
was before,
Thus for each of us goes on our progress.
In a world of studendous happenings it is not
surprising that the individual pilgrim — the
everyman of that great book — should feel
Broadcasts
overwhelmed by his own insignificance, be-
wildered by continual blows of fate, and fin-
ally tempted to take faintheart as his friend
and his guide.
But that must never be. His motto must
rather be whatever comes or does not come
I will not be afraid, for it is en each indi-
vidual effort that the -safety end happiness of
the whole depends,
It is the spirit in which each of us fulfils
his or her appointed task that counts., and
that spirit is vouchsafed to us in the message;.
of this and every Christmas Day.
We stend at the' beginning ate new half -
century. In it men will have to decide be-
tween these 'two creeds—perhaps the most
momentous choice that he has had to make
in his whole history. It will be made not as
a result of any abstract political theory but
through the way of life, the way of thought
that each one of us practises at home.
If each one of us will have to determine
whether to consolidate what past generations
have 'achieved for us or to acquiesce in its
being brought to nought; to preserve the
spiritual inheritance common to.. our mother
country and her kindred nations or to witness
its extinction.
That inheritance is not the product of any
rigid system. It Is something far more human
than that. It is the collective expression on of
the lives of countless thousands of men end
women, many of them quite unknown to fame,
who have labored incessantly for the good of
their fellows. Like the great Coral Reefs in
the Pacific, its growth has gone on silently
and invisibly from century to century, strong
to resist the surge and- thunder of the tides
of fortune and of time.
As with such a reef if some extruding
peak should crumble away there remains al-
ways a solid foundation on which to build
anew.
This foundation derives its permanence,
its power to endure, from faith; and it is at
Christmas especially that faith—faith in all
that is good—is renewed and strengthened.
That is why the meaning of Christmas and
its outward expression in .all the age-old cele-
brations associated with Christmas never lose
their force. In goad times or in bad, undee
clear skies or under the shadow of sorrow, it
is always right to seek happiness' at Christmas.
You. may be sure that the Queen and I and
all our family with us here today hope whole-
heamteelly they you will not fail to find it.

THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
We have been in the Christ-
mas season again —; with its
beautiful songs end stories, • The
latest song •runs: "If you. drive
don't think. If you .drink, don't
drive. Call a taxi" -- a grim
Christmas song. The latest `Christ-
mas story is about Edie . and
Chuck. Edie had three or four'
drinks, Chuck had seven or eight.
As they left their office, their
friends said, "take a taxi•" But
Edie knew that Chuck was a
smart driver. They went careen-
ing down the street. There Was
a crash. They found Chuck crush-
ed to death behind the steering
wheel and Elie a crumpled heap
on the street. This is a true
story, but it is not beautiful.
Drinking is taking the beauty and
sanctity out of Chrisibnuts.--Advt,
