En a war-torn world we approach another
Christmas, chastened by sorrow and sacrifice, but
determined and confident that the forces of strife
and aggression shall be overcome.
Only when victory crowns the great crusade
can we again celebrate the birth of the Prince of
Peace in a spirit of joy and festivity. .
Today we join with you in the earnest hope that
our aims will be speedily achieved.•
