OF our Lord. Let as give thanks to
the God that SO magnifcently To-
vented US for our lives and that he
In his all wise benevolence has so
kindly watched over Us for the year
now ebbing away.
Over century and quarter has
passed since this country took Its
beginning among the nations then
In It's plimevial safe but now we
can thank the same God that made
US for giving US such glorious
and grand nation as this awe In
spring United States of America,
tor look at what we have gotten ah!
so much more than other na'ions
that these things are by far too nu
merous to mention and were to
mention them I would have to
build thousands of paper mills In
order to get a suficency of paper
to begin on, and when l should
have begun 1 would have to cater
to the entire world for enough car.
bon to give summary account OF
Its magnitude, then let US again and
again thank this benevolent God
for seeing fit to give 1t to us.
Generation and generation have
grown and passed away each has
had to bear his peculiar burdens
and trials but has not this same
God given him strength to bear
them and should he not to be
thankful even If he might not have
quite as much of this worlds goods
as his neighbor for Is 1t not writ
ten In the Scriptures" "to tuem
that has shall be given and to them
that has not shall be taken even
that which they have" and another
place In the same Scriptures we
will find 1.-The rich and the poor
we shall have with us even to the
end of the world" Then let Us be
up and doing and thank this ever
glorious God.
Il lose thy kingdom Lord, a
house with thy abode the church
thy 1edeemer saved with his own
precious blood"
And each has known the years
of grim trials when the country
was menaced by malice and domes-
tic OF foreign levies when the hand
of the Lord was heavily upon 1t in
drouthe cur floods are pes Hence
when in bodily distress and anguish
of souls 1t paid the penalty OF folly
and forward heart nevertheless
decayed; we have struggled onward
and upward, let US give Goo the
thanks
