COMMITTEE OF THE VANCOUVER, SEW WESTMINSTER AND DISTRICT TRADES AND LABOR COUNCIL HE most pleasing feature associated with the Christmas season is the exchange, between friends, of kindly greetings of good will and cheer. Throughout the length and breadtli of t'lirist- endom, this happy custom prevails, and, in common with others, it is our sincere desire to take this opportunity of extending to all our friends and associates the season's most cordial greetings ■ and good wishes. •' It is timely on this festive occasion to remember that the same lowly Nazarene, who inspired that greatest of all commands, "Peace on earth, goodwill toward men," was also responsible for the equally inspiring injunction that reads: "Be ye not weary in well-doing." The thought of these words comes uppermost in our. minds in inditing this message. The l-abor movement is a humanitarian movement. It seeks to protect the weak and to help /ythe needy. It is a movement of men and women banded together, not for personal and individual gain, but, rather, for the^ attainment of justice for all mankind. May our message, therefore, inspire you with greater faith, hope and courage, conscious in the righteousness of our mutual endeavors and convinced of the ultimate achievement, and may your efforts during the coming year be filled with the desire for greater accomplishment in the task of uplifting humanity.
