The Tien Tsn correspondent Of the

For the last three days the whole

outward manifestations of the spirit
that should be within and unless
that spirit is within the manifesto
tons are but sheer hypocrisy. IL,
we are thankful to the Supreme
Being and surely no people have
more cause for gratitude; we
should show it not on Thanksgiv-
ing Day alone but on every day.
We should show it by being help
ful to others, we should show it by
trying to be more worthy and by
making the most of the talents and
the blessings given US. The man
who does not do his best is a fail
ure. People may think he is a
success, but the Ruler of the Uni
verse who knows what powers, what
talents, and what opportunities he
has given, also knows that unless.
they are used to their fullest, the
man is failure. Judged by this,
standard, how many failures there
are in this world. How far short
do the best of us fall when our ac-
complishments are judged by what
we might do.
What community this would be
II every man was doing his best.
Just think of it. You know what
you could do, how much better
you might make your home life,
how much more you might add to
the sum total of happiness if you
lived up to your opportunities.
Denison would be the model
town OF all the world if each man
did his best. There would be no
crime, and no heart-aches. There
would be no poverty, for there is
work for ALL There would be no
gossip and no gossipers,no scandal
and no scandal mongers.
BY doing ones best we do not
mean that men should give up busi-
ness ana become ldeal1sts;We mean
that the mechanic should do the
very best he can, that the merchant
should make the very most of his
business, that the editor should
print the very best possible paper.
We also mean that each man
should do his best to make Others
happy and to be helpful and just.
/, 1t is too much to hope for,it will
never be done in any community
until the millennium comes, but
while you eat your Thanksgiving
dinner, while you offer up prayer
of Thanksgiving for the mercies
and the blessings bestowed upon
you, just include in that prayer one
little statement and that is that
during the coming year you will
try to do the very best you can, by
yourself, by your fellows, by your
country and by your God.

THANKSGIVING.

There are two ways of giving
thanks. The professional beggar
takes and gives thanks and takes
again. He has no thought that
gratitude extends farther than words
or that the receiving of blessings
entails any responsibility upon the
recipient. The best way to give
thanks, is to act them. The up
lifting ofeyes, the bowling of heads,
the singing of hymns does not con-
stitute thanks giving, they are but
