AN OPTIMIST!
'',XO THE EDITOS 0» THB PBEbS Sir, —That our friends of the '-. feathered world often set us a good example in our outlook on life was brought home to me this morning, when, in the raw fog of an exceptionally . , Wintry dawn, before the sun had made ~ 'any headway, I caught sight" of a good,sized thrush on the topmost branch of a big pear tree singing away merrily ...and, continuously, carolling, as a thrush does, his song over and over again. Ho knew, by past experience, the mistresa of-the house would, sooner or later, % . eome along with the fowls' bucket-full of warm, appetising food, which—the young rascal!—he boldly shares each morning with the egg-raisers. Of Course, his optimism was rewarded, as ours would be—and will be—in this , time of depression and general gloom if ''we all have faith in our country and " our and its ability to overcome the ob-■--Jjtacles that appear—to the pessimist—- '• insurmountable. —Yours, etc., WEST CHBISTCHUECH. July Bth, 1930.
