The eOUTLOOK.

The OUTLOOK. IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS.
 In Gods great world of wonders, Are gifts in countless store,
 And he who has the greatest May ever look for more. For God is 6 royal giver, In gifts to human kind, With lavish kindness, sending The stores for earth and mind. And so, give thanks for sunshine, For fruit in barn and bin, For corn and wheat to feed us, For harvests gathered in. And as we eat, in gladnees, The fruit of hill and plain, Do not forget the anthem Of praise for falling rain.
 Then too give thanks for friendship,-
 For home and kindred dear,
 The sweetest joys of living
 Are ever centered here.
 For in this world of wandering,
 Where men 50 often roam,
 No place is half 50 blessed,
 As humble, happy home.
 We should give thanks for reason,
 For minds to comprehend,
 And think Gods thoughts of beauty,
 And what His laws portend,
 Thank Him that he has given
 A jewel, in the soul;
 In everything let's thank Him,
 He is our life, our whole.
