December! One the bleakest
of months, one of the most' depress
ing, the culmination, of the old and
worn, yet it is one golden, glor
ious day. It is a day of hope and
cheer in which the young revel and
the old find again the buoyancy of
youth, a beam of light sending its
rays through all the year, an oasis
in a drab desert—'Christmas Day.
If we were to- express in fewest
words the spirit of Christmas, the
most comprehensive, as well as the
most compressed, -would be "peace
and goodwill,” the latter the cause,
the former the result; for there is
no peace nor concord, international,
social or otherwise without that at
titude of mind which feels and

evinces the spirit of benevolence.
(Since the great war, so ghastly and
so costly in resources and in the in
finitely more valuable asset—men--—
the -heavily-burdened nations are
making an effort towards -outlawing
this futile means of settling inter
national disputes and finding some
less costly and more efficient arbi
trament, some way whereby they
may be free from the nightmare of
armed forces which carries in it pos
sibilities of a destruction more hor
rible than even t-he last war, with
all its savagery, brought into use.
It is a necessary and rational ideal
which must one day be attained, if
for no- other reason than that of
self-interest.
How is it to be attained?
In seeking a remedy the first and
most obvious thing is to diagnose
the disease, to get at the cause be
fore we find the cure.
What then are the causes of
strife?

DEER IS SIGIITEt) CLOSE

far many years unknown in this dis
trict. A few years ago they return
ed and have been observed again
this year, in the Hay swamp near
Exeter. Observers are careful to ex
plain that this does not mean- that
deer are always in the swamp, for
they roam for miles and appear
from time to time. This week, a
more venturesome buck is reported
to have aproached within a mile of the village limits on the bashwood
road.
The annual meeting of the James
Street W. A-. was held last Thursday
