CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.

GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S , MESSAGE.

The following message has been issued by the Governor-General. Lord Liverpool:— " Lady Liverpool and myself desire to send to all ranks of the Army in New Zealand our best wishes for Christmas and the New Year"lt is splendid to think that a.t this season of the year we can rejoice that the work which the Empire set herself to accomplish has nearly been achieved, owing to the unselfish heroism of our sailors on tho sea and our soldiers in the field, and also to those who, while not permitted to leave the Dominion, have worked so steadfastly to insure that no part of the machinery required for our Armies should be lacking. " To tho sick and wounded amongst us, Lady Liverpool and myself desire to send out best congratulations now that they are once more among their kith and kin, and we pray that they may quickly be restored to health and strength. " To all, we wish every happiness in the years to come."
