never thought Of going further than
herself When her cousin Seraphs who
had been the only companion OF her
lonely childhood, had married, against
her express wish, chat shiftless Joe
Parker" she simply elet her go her own
way"
The neighbors called her hard" and
so she was. What was the matter to-
day? She vas growing old-55 last
midsummer. Perhaps her mind was
weakening.
She had never noticed before how
lonely the small, weather-stained house
looked as she turned in at her own
gate. How would It seem to have a
face smiling a welcome from the win
dOw-or some one watching at the
door?
She put up" Tom, made her cup Of
tea and ate her cold ham and bread,
but it did not refresh her.

keeping Thanksgiving for, can't see.
You haven't got a bit of it in your heart,
and you know you haven't. You are

You don't love anybody but yourself,

pretty halt and poor thing to offer, but
I guess III have to give up, and let Him
lead me awhile" she whispered softly
with the fading shadows, and then
came peace
The next morning Miss Hannah was
up betimes, and her small washing
waved in the earliest breeze. That was
nothing unusual, but the trip that she
took with Tom, soon after, was more
so. There was a smile as she passed
the rickety house and weedy cornfeId,
but no stop until they reached the town
POOrhOuse, standing bare and unshut-
tered, on its bleak hillside

.Cynthy Ann, and stay awhile" Miss
Hannah said to a gentle, faded little
woman who came stif1y to meet her.
''Are you willing?"
''The Lord be praised!' was the an

twas hard trusting Him in this place,
so He's going TO brighten it up for me-
'And you are not coming back again,
not while I live" Miss Hannah said, as
they wound their way among the hills
''YOu can't exactly be said to be rela-
tive, though my grandfather's wife was
your step-grandfather's sister. But it's
been given TO me to see that it's nigh
enough relation for the Lord to find a
duty in it And Cvuthv Ann. now that
I'm getting old and gray, guess it's
about time for me to be looking up my
duties" she admitted, grimly.
That was all the confession Miss Han
nah could be expected to make. Her
nature would be one rather to do than
TO talk.
And all that day and the two follow

such life and activity as it had not seen
for many a year.

THANKSGIVING MEMORIES.
The Blessed Annual Family Reunion



Day.
How dear to US all they are-Thanks-
giving memories, the Thanksgiving
DAYS in the dear old home when we
were all together. No other day in the
whole year is such family day as the
annual Thanksgiving. Blessed indeed
are those who can still 60 home to the
old homestead and gather around the
table where father and mother glorify
it with their loving presence. But
there are very few old homesteads now;
we have become a migratory people.
The majority of US do not stay long
enough in a place to have those hal
lowed associations about it that the
dear ones Of long ago did. To many
of the present generation Thanksgiv-
ing has lost much Of its significance
Just because we have become so mi
gratory. But do let US preserve it in its
full import if we possibly can this year.
Let every one Of US try to keep up the
old-time sanctity of the day set apart
for special thanks to God for all our
mercies, and for the gathering together
around the table Of the dear ones.
Some Of the dear ones have gone out
from our homes since last ThanksgiY-
ing, and we think of the vacant places
with heart-heaviness. Some little chill
dren who loved US and made our homes
bright with sunshine have gone from
our arms to the loving arms Of the
blessed Jesus who cares for them and
blesses them continually. Their tiny
life torches filed our home with light
that does not go out, but fills our lives
with sweet remembrances, and bids US
minister with sweeter ministries than
ever before to the little ones of earth
who need our love and care.
Then there are others who glorified
the home loves and the home ties for
many, many years who have gone to the
Father.
As Lucy Larcom beautifully says:
eve feel that much of our life has gone
with these dear ones. Gone? No,
translated. lifted up with them to their
new estate"
It is the love Of the ALLOWING One
that brings US closest together in fam
lily ties We cannot love each other too
much, and we are still joined to the
dear ones who are gone, and the light of
their new light enters into ours. In
thanking God for the many blessings
He has given US this year, let US stretch
our well-flled hands to the needy.
When we gather around our table to eat
our Thanksgiving dinner let US have the
satisfaction Of knowing that because
of our thoughtfUlness and considera-
ton others are having a good dinner
who without our help would have
missed the sustaining powers of a real
Thanksgiving.-N- Y. Evangelist.

however, a quick run as soon as he was
outside the gate.
'.Seraph'H hear all about it now, !"
Miss Hannah said TO herself.
But some way the work went on more
quietly after this. The truth was, the
t.mid little Cynthy Ann was making up
her mind to the doing Of disagreeable
duty
.sHannah," she broke out at last,
Saint you going to invite Seraph and
her family here to Thanksgiving You
and can't ever eat all this stuff"
I'm thinking Of it, yes" was the
answer that almost took her breath
away.
"Oh, I knew it, knew you would,
Hannah You're too good to hold spite
longer"
' No, amt, not bit; but I told you,
didn't I, that the Lord was a leading
me to see duties. I amt no believer in
signs and things, Cynthy Ann" Miss
Hannah went on after a little, "but last
Sunday, I'm free to tell you, was
troubled in my mind beyond anything
L remember before, even when I was
converted, and asked the Lord for a
sign; and then I put my finger in the
Bible and opened il, and what I read
was, in Deuteronomy, like this: that if
there was a poor man among our
brethren, or needy, we was to open our
hand and to give TO him. And now I
don't dare do anything else, you see,T
and Miss Hannah really looked relieved
at this confession Of faith"
THE Lord be praisedI" calculated
Cynthy Ann; It seemed TO be a way of
hers. Have you invited them yet?'
NO" CURLY.
"Ohi wouldn't they enjoy thinking Of
IT, and kind Of getting ready?'' she.

''Cynthy Ann, and Miss Hannah spoke
slowly, Il do not think best to make
II too easy and pleasant. Sarah was a
member, and she had no right to marry
a man who wasn't. She must suffer for
her sin still. ! shall not invite her until
Wednesday afternoon
If we could imagine an "avenging
angel, with thin, gray hair drawn into
a tight pug, two pair Of spectacles
pushed high on forehead, and lips set
close, Miss Hannah might have served
for the character at that moment But
IN spite OF herself she grew gentler with
every hour until Thanksgiving. One
cannot cherish love in the heart with
out its showing, Of course. It was like
the asters Seraph's youngest girl
brought, all the ehoicer for being so
late.

Who, insane with the joy OF receiving
Are glad for no sake but their own
Who are deaf to the song Of thanksgiving
