Ing out an invitation for us all to as
semble and give thanks for the BEN
Gifts we havo received during the past
year, but either the benefits have been
few or the recipients are u%ngrateful
for not many are availing themselves
of the opportunity. Our Thanksgiving
day Is n kind of half Sunday, half week
day. The morning Is given up, to
business, the afternoon to recreation,
the early evening to turkey and the
night to balls and PAL ties. The weather
Is glorious and will be duly dilated on
from the pulpits. This and our soil,
vegetable productions, mineral wealth
and general resources will furnish tho
material for most Of the Thanksgiving
di, c purses. None of the churches will
show any practical thankfulness by
making collections for our needy char
tiles. That particular mode Of testi-
flying gratitude does not find favor
with the elect. They believe more in
faith than works. JACK HoRNER.
