「

Wintry blast rattles over the earth: all living creatures are paralysed by the cold shell into inactivity.

By God! What a terrible picture! Nature, brilliant and full of life as it was yesterday, become, now desolate and despondent. All and all is dead and dull. Blizzard, frost and ice carry in their wake havoc and destruction. How can we the most sensitive of creatures stand against such a pressure? Well, the only way is to struggle, to resist!

However great is the menace of winter, however fierce is the force of chill blast, we are not despaired. No! Never! What we have is warm courage; what we have is the spirit to struggle. March forward! Let us do away with the evil environments and establish ourselves in a new happy and idealistic world!

March forward with a cheerful heart! Spring, that beautiful and lovely spring, is waving to us!
