Christmas candles will burn brighter this year
and Christmas turkeys have a new and special flavour
for the thousands of Canadians who will be sitting
down to their first Christmas dinner with the family
circle complete. And many a childish face will glow
in the candlelight because "dad” takes his place' at
the head of the table again — with his strange tales
from Italy, from France, Germany or the Pacific.
But even as the candles are lit and the heaped
plates go round, Canadians will pause and remember
— remember those family groups that will never be
complete—those thousands of desolate and homeless
in Europe — that great army of children who have
been frightened and hurt and starved by a war not
of their making.
Let us therefore make a solemn resolve never
again to allow the powers of darkness -- greed,
selfishness and mistrust—to put out the candles of
Christmas, those brave Fights that symbolize the warm
love and kindness that came into,, the world two
thousand years ago.
