Thanksgiving. Services.


notwithstanding the low temperature

at II O'Clock TO observe THANKSGIVING

selections. appropriately expressing
the sentiments of joy and gratitude.

which cnjOined the Jews not to forget

land "tilowing with milk and honey"
and when their gold. silver and other
possessions increased and say in the
pride OF their hearts by my W pow
en- and the strength of my own hand
have | gotten this wealth. but TO re-
member il was God that giveth the
power to get wealth. Itcv. Emery
led in an earnest prayer of thanks for
blessings past and entreaty for guild
ancc and future favors. Wiley Mount
JOY then read the presidents proclama-
ton, appointing a day of National
Thanksgiving and the Apostles in
junction to be always thankful. He
then spoke for half an hour, giving by
way of introduction a brief ccoun of
the origin and evolution of the dav.
He thon pointed out some reasons for
Thanksgiving. These were necessarily
general and particular. National
greatness, progress peace. prosperity,
freedom from pestilence famine, etc.,
are blessings enjoyed in common and
for which it is appropriate for us to-
gcther to render thanks. These are
the conditions of individual blessings,
There are two general causes of in
gratitude. Pride and envy-the first
comes from placing too high regard
we come to believe that we ourselves
T. the chief factors in our SUCCESSES.
by our W power have we gotten
wealth, fame or learning. Very often,
the eminently successful man can see
very little reason to count either God
or his fellow man as partners in his
success. He generally esteems him
self q self made man and wOrships his
Maker. Another cause of inoratitudc
is other peoples prosperity. Many
people are given to thinking more
about the good things" that other
people have than of their own bless
ings. The ordinary. every day ravors
of life are infinitely moro important
than the great prizes for which the
world contends. The ono is essential.
the other contingent or accidental.
Health, friends, home. food ana raim-
cnt are things which we may all have
in this country. We cant afford to sac
rilicc these for the worlds great prizes.
The great blessing without them would
bring happiness. We can get along
without wealth, fame Of place if we
have health. friends. home and a ro-
bust conscience. Let us seek the best
things ann be thankful.
