Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is of little avail
without thanksgiving. The man who
is truly grateful to God should show
it by his life. CD By performing all
duties owed to God. "I will paw NV
vows unto the Lord now in the nrns-
ence of all His people" This was
the Psalmist's answer to his own
question. "Howw "By paying NV
vows unto the Lord" w owe God
reverence, devotion, and service. let
us pay these debts, that we may ex-
press our gratitude unto Him. on
By performing our duties toward our
fellowmen. "Pure religion and IN
defled before God and the Father Is
this, To visit the fatherless and
widows in their affection, and to
keep himself unspotted from the
world" DANES /. 27.) God may be
thanked by good deeds toward others
in His name. How could we better
thank a father, who had done us q
favor, than by being helpful to his
children in their day of need? The
fatherless and widows and all other
afflicted ones are the special objects
of Gods love and care, and we can
thank Him by visiting them, with
comfort and support. Being asked,
"Where is heaven" a noted e~vangel-
list told the inquirer of a widow who
was in great need of coal and provi-
sions: eco to her with these things
and come back and [ will answer
your question" The man who made
the inquiry took his advice, and came
back with his face aglow and the
question answered. He found heaven
on earth by showing kindness toward
Gods needy ones. Nor can we doubt
but that in such a way we can thank
God for His blessings to us. Has He
blessed us with health? Let us thank
Him by comforting the sick in His
name. Has He blessed us with
wealth? Let us thank Him by ad-
ministering in His name to the poor
and needy. There is no doubt that
He will be pleased with this form Of
thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving can only be shown
to be sincere by Thanksgiving. Words
to be effective must be accompanied
by deeds. Let us not merely say,
"Iord, I thank thee" but let us show
our thankfulness by doing the will
of our Father who is in heaven

in vain for the thrasher?
These are examples of the ques-
lions that may well arise in the mind
of the thoughtful farmer, and think
ing along these lines he may see
clearly that the Lord gives a posi-
bic crop each year, sometimes more,
sometimes less, and that the man who
by the study of natures laws and
obedience thereto gets all, or ever a
large per cent, of this possible crop
will always have his cup of blessings
full and running over. For the
Giver of all good always gives to
men who study and obey the laws of
nature (Which are but the immediate
and direct expression of His wild
good Scripture measure of blessings,
heaped up, pressed down, and
shaken together, and running over"
The grass, the small grain, the corn,
the milk, the wool and the meats are
all the gifts of God, bestowed in the
measure of our perception of and
obedience to the laws governing their
production. The measure of the
heat, moisture and sunlight deter
mine a possible crop, and all these
are solely and exclusively in the
hands of the Ruler of this world, the
Lord of the harvest. 1t is our bust
ness to get the full of that
which is thus freely given us each
year in such proportion as the Ruler
of this world thinks best for His
children. The sooner we realize all
this, the better farmers we will be-
come, the better men, the better citi-
zens, the better Christians.
To grandpa and grandma Thanks
giving has another meaning. To
them there come the ~recollections of
Thanksgiving of long long ago when
other feet were under the table and
other voices gave spice to the abund-
ant meal, when the turkey and oys-
tiers, the pies and doughnuts we're far
better than any they have tasted 10
these many years, and while grandpa
may think the world is going back
wards and the young men of to-day
are not so handsome, mol the girls so
beautiful, as those of fifty years ago,
grandma will insist that there were
never better children than her grand
children and that the very latest ar
rival is sweeter and prettier than any
of the rest. Let the old folks have
their way. Voices will soon beckon
them from another shore. They have
had care and sorrow and trouble
enough. Honor the ancestral home.
the old Preside, as often as possible
with your presence, for after they
leave it it will be a house to you but
not a home.
We hope this Thanksgiving will be
a joyous one in every home where
this publication is a regular visi
tor, for in the way of national anc
industrial peace, in bountiful crops

Thanksgiving.

thanksgiving, mas a d1HerenC
meaning to different members of the
household. To the small boy and
girl it means a visit to g~randpa's or
| grandma's. It means visions of tur-
key and cranberry sauce, sweet po-
tatoes, oysters maybe, and celery,
cakes and doughnuts without num-
Der, and pies of all kinds from apple
to pumpkin; and more than that it
means the opportunity of seeing the
little cousins and the liberty to do
| things that it is not quite safe to do
at home, for grandma is sure to in
terfere and at least break the force
| of the parental rebuke. Therefore,
to the little folks Thanksgiving is a
whole lot better than the Fourth of
July, the Sunday-school picnic or
any birthday. To the small boy and
his sister who have a grandma with
in reach it is the best day of all the
year, their only regret being that
after grandpa has asked the blessing
and Uncle John carved the turkey,
and the pies and doughnuts smile at
them from across the table, they can
not under any circumstances do full
justice to the occasion. They fill up
entirely too
To the larger boy, the hobbledehoy,
neither man nor boy, Thanksgiving
has all the attraction of a table
grooming with all the good things of
the season, with an appetite not cas-
lily satisfied and besides a game of
baseball or football, a turkey shoot
ing match, or part of a days hunt
ing. And to his sister standing at
that interesting point "where brook
and river meet" it means, after the
days work is done and the young
sters safe in bed, an evening tete-a-
tete with her best fellow, or a romp
with her cousins, or a moonlight
drive in the counting buggy. Who
is so hard-hearted as to begrudge
them any innocent pleasure9
To the farmer and his good wife
who are bearing the burden and heat
of the day, Thanksgiving has a lar
ger meaning. After the dinner has
been enjoyed to the full and the
small folks have gone to bed and the
larger young people have gone to
their various diversions, the question
arises: For what have we special
reason to be thankful this year
What especially good things has the
Oliver of good bestowed on us this
year? How much more would He
have given us had we done our best,
or, in other words, what of His prof
fered mercies has He withheld be-
cause we did not come to His terms
and meet His conditions9 IF sick
ness has visited the home, how much
; of it was clearly due to the violation
, of His laws, unintentional, of course
perhaps In ignorance, but none the
less a violation which inevitably
brings its penalty with it? How much
more of the crop grown on his fields

tempeSGuOuS doom
Of the turbulent food of the lair of
the storms of the ocean,,
And crest answers crest with a sig
nal of mutinous spume-
a sunset of sulphurous hue on the
waters abhOrrent
That plunge to the north and the
south and the east and the
west,
And leap to the sinister light from
their furious. torrent
As if they would fain break the
spell of their torment and rest.
In the v~itreous CLEAN of the sky with
the darkness impending
The pillows that bowl to the lash
of the wind and the tide
Break UP with intolerant force and
infuriate rending
Of limits rebound and rebound by
the spirit defed.
For the waves they are weary of
sinking and rising and flying,
And weary of wind and the rage
of the stream of the deep;
They are weary of cries of despair
and the means of the dying,
And they long for the peace of a
tranquil and p~assionless sleep;
They are weary of dragging the
~foam-chains in treacherous
places,
Of surge and of swirl and of re-
fluent sweep to the shoals,
And weary of washing the CHASTITY
and drowning white faces
That float and cry out to the part
ing and terrified souls.
But the demon of wreck is their mon
strous and merciless master,
And he comes even now from the
hot Caribbean afar,
Where the torrid sun breeds to his
spirit a host for disaster
That turks for the fall of a night
with no moon and no star.
He has gathered the winds of the
tropic and direful tornadoes
That spread devastation by day
and destruction by night;
He has sent for his herald the light
ming that girts the Barbados,
And his mantle is thunder and
whirlwind the track of his
flight.
He tramples the bays and the straits
with disdain and with frantic
DELIGHT smites the waters that
crouch in his pitiless way
As he sweeps from the Mexican Gulf
to the roaring Atlantic,
Foresignaling storm to the night
and the place of his prey.
From the rack of the sky of the twi-
light a lessening crescent
Sinks into the gathering gloom OF
the blackness of>night,
And the wandering breakers are Iii
with a CLEAN phosphorescent
As landward they grieve in the
glimmer of Hatteras light
A glimmer that tracks a lone ship
which is toiling and beating
Away from the tempest impending
but hopeless to flee
From the demon that comes with {
luminous flame for q greeting
And wings that uncover the NAV
of the ravenous sea.
And the a that are weary o.
wreck and destruction ar,
maddened.
They rise to the call of the trum
peting hurricane king;
They race to salute him in frenzy a
