Next Thursday is Thanksgiving,
and it may truthfully be said that
the people of this state have much
10 be thankful for. Of course here
and there will be found a person
who will opine that life in general
is sort Of nightmare with him.
But if such a person will look
about and take the correct view of
life, he will find that. although his
affairs may be in bad way, they
might be worse, and be should be
thankful for this phase of the affair.
There is scarcely a man, woman, or
,hild whose lot seems dreary but
~ comparison will conclude that
ome other persons condition is
worse than theirs, ard they would
lot exchange places with the per-
on in mind. There is truth in
he saying that thinking makes it
o." and if one makes up his mind
O be thankful he may readily find
omething for which to be thankful.
