The brighter outlook is no excuse for a lazy settling
down with a sense of being at ease in Zion. We shall
have problems and difficulties abundant and arduous
during the next twelve months. But no reasonable
man who recalls what the world has got through
since the armistice need doubt that it will be able to
struggle up the path before it till it reaches assured
peace and stability. A calm survey all round justi-
fies making this New Year a time to bid all mankind
hope.
