AT ST. ANDREWS CATHEDRAL.

At ST. Andrews Cathedral the servi-
ces were those provided in the Prayer
Book for Thanksgiving day. The at
tendance was good, ami the musical
portion of the service was OF the hest.
The Rev. Canon V. H. Kitcat con-
Quoted the service, which began at 10
o'clock in the morning, and the Rev.
Frank F'itz read the appointed lesson.
Bishop Restarick preached from the
text, 20 go your way into His gate
with thanksgiving, and into His courts
with praise" Psalm 100, 4th verse.
Bishop Restarick spoke without manu-
script He said in part:
This day carries US back to 1921,
when the Pilgrims at Plymouth set
apart a day of thanksgiving in ac-
acknowledgements of their first harvest
in America. 1t became in no sense a
national festival, until in 1863, when
Lincoln, hoping that he saw some sign
of a cessation of carnage, and of a
time when there should be again one
flag floating over all people in the
United States, issued a Thanksgiving
proclamation. Since that time it has
become more and more observed as a
day of thanksgiving TO Almighty God
for His blessings to US as a nation.
But it has always maintained its old
characteristics as a day of thanksgiy-

ity of evolving it in man. So witt
every achievement of man. When we
, think of the various applications OF
electricity we are apt to think only of
the human mind and forget that cleo
tricity has pervaded nature ever since
man lived, awaiting the needs of the
world that would bring forth the genius
who would bless humanity with his
work. Let us not eliminate God as a
factor in the progress of the world.
We express our gratitude in worship.
There can be no true worship without
gratitude. 1t is the very essence of
worship. When we contemplate the
hymnology of the ancient Hebrews as
found in the Psalms, and the hymnoio-
gy of the Christian church as EXPRESSED
in the hymns that have called forth
the greatest geniuses in Christianity,
we recognize the fact as we have of
the element of praise and prayer and
Thanksgiving, that worship is but an
expression of gratitude
We express our gratitude also in the
formation of character. The character
that Christ came into the world to de-
velop, is best developed by keeping the
heart and life in one constant attitude
and expression of gratitude The de-
velopment of character is the unfolding
of the soul to God that he may stamp
own character-upon it, 1t
Is like the opening of the rose that it
may drink in the sunshine to its life
with hundred fragrant petals. Char
acter is not the result of a selfishness
but is simply the unfolding of self in
gratitude and praise to its Maker.
Then we express our gratitude in SER
vice. Indeed, there can be no such
thing as grateful Christian who will
not serve. There are too many in the
world, or we may say too many in the
church, who have named the name of
Christ, who look upon service as a
sacrifice, but the real sacrifice does not

in two. If we want good times to re-
turn to our islands, if we are really
having hard times, they will come soon
err if we sincerely thank God for the
blessings we have.
In that exquisite little book, Mrs
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch,'' in the
first chapter, Mrs. Wigs gives express
sion to her philosophy. Alice Caldwell
Higgins shows her sense of harmony
when she makes Mrs Wigs introduce
this verse in her Sunday school:
when upon life's billers you are temp
est tossed,
And you are discouraged thinkin' all is
lost,
Count your many blessin's, and name
'em one by one
And it'll surprise you what the Lord
hath DONE
The little ragamufins sang it Justify
and afterwards some of the children
get to quarreIling and Mrs. Wigs, in
stead of teaching Sunday school gives
them a little lesson on living peaceably
in which she quotes the quaint philosO-
ply of her mother, which has two ex-
quisite puns in it. She said: Ma used
to say Twin is like quiltin'-you orter
keep the peace and do away with the
scraps And then she closed the school
with prayer that is a marvel of sim
piicity and sublimity. It beats the
prayers of the preachers. She said:
"Oh, Lord, help these here children to
be good and kind to each other and to
their mas and pas; make 'em thankful
for whatever they have got, even when
a a
live as they ought to live. and praise
God from whom all blessin's flow.
Amen
This prayer of Thanksgiving was
sincere expression of a woman who had
no carpets on the floor and not a decent
chair or table in the house and the

last bucket of coal on the fire. 1t is a
lesson of grateful contentment.
When shall we thank God-for what
shall we thank God? Shall we thank
Him in adversely? Yes, for adversely
may be blessing, and always is the
blessing to a grateful soul. Shall we
thank God when sorrows bear heavily
, upon us and crush tears from our eyes? ?
Yes, for tears may be the telescopes
through which we catch a clearer and
larger and more blessed vision of the
Infinite Father and His infinite good
ness.

Christ and opened at the other end by
Him that 1 may enter into eternal

Let US, therefore, wash our hands in

Possibly the highest expression of
gratitude is contentment 1t is not in
my thought this morning to speak of
that mysterious contentment to which
the soul gives expression, as by hope
and faith and love which grows tow

hood and womanhood. But 1 speak of
that peace and restfulness and quiet Of
soul that belongs to the man who is
trusting God, who has done the best
he knows how with the powers that God
has given him. Paul is the best eX-
ample of that contentment. When he
acknowledged the material help given
him by the Church at PhiIippi he said:

instead of looking for harmony they
look for discord. Instead of looking for

looking for joy, they look fr misery
Instead of looking for faith they look

they look for dependency. Instead of

Instead of looking for heaven they look
for hell. and they find what they're
looking for. They are never miserable
except when they are happy, and they
are never happy except when they are
miserable.
There is another class whose gratitude
is the result of the comparison of their
own conditions with the conditions of
others. They rejoice that they are not
like other people, but there can be no
SeHuIue gratitude Inat results from the
comparison of the more favored with
the less favored. Indeed, the rich man
may not have so much to be thankful
Tor as the poor man, and the poor man
may have ten thousand times as much
to be grateful for as the other, because
he has God, he has Christ and the
promise of the Father to stand upon.
Then there are many who are in the
habit of expressing their gratitude only
to men, leaving God out of the equation
altogether, or regarding Him as a very
insignificant factor. When we compare
ancient with modern history we cam
not help but note the marvellous prog |
ress of the human race, but in account

ton has developed the many stamens
into petals, he thinks of the man and
forgets that God by the possibility of
evolution in the rose placed the possip.l-l

ing for the fruit of the earth, and as
such runs far back of 1921. In the old
church from which the Pilgrims sprung
it was and is the custom to hold har-
vest festivals, and further back, we find
in the old Jewish church the Feast "
First Fruits, when an acknowledgment
was made to God as the giver of all.
1t is important to note that if the
President or the Governor did not call
us to a day of Thanksgiving, the
church has appointed a day and a serv-
ice, as appears in the Prayer Book.
There is, then, a twofold aspect of
this Thanksgiving day. We give
thanks to God for His blessings to us
as people; we give thanks to him for
the return of seed time and harvest,
for the fruits of the earth.
And first, as to the nation. When
we come to such a day as this, there
should be no glorying in our strength
and wealth and power If there is a
sense of humility before God, it is upon
such day as this. Every sane man
must be impressed with the magnifi-
cent country which God has given to
the American people. The opportuni-
But what do these things mean? They
mean tremendous responsibilities.
True thankfulness means a recognition
of these responsibilities. A lip service
is the emptiest and poorest thing pos
sible. l always pause in my mind

Thanksgiving at the words May we

to thank God it will be by showing in
our lives that we recognize the great
responsibilities of citizenship which
His blessings have laid upon us.
Prosperity, material possessions,
banks, and blocks, and stocks, and
ships, are blessings only as we recog-
niZe responsibility. They of them
selves have in them the seeds of decay.
History is strewn with the wreck of the
nations which have failed to recognize
responsibility. What would remain il

Continent were swept away? What Of
the cattle and hogs that we kill, or
the corn that we raise. or the ships

it was loyal to truth. Greece sought to
express truth in art. Because that in
fiuence remains. we today abhor that
which is false in art. Greece set the
standard for all time.
