Our Thanks to God.-Psa. 1873. 1-s.
The sweetest, richest music that
swells and sweeps through Gods
word and Gods world Is the music of
thankfulness. Bible writer's summon
us more frequently to praise than to
prayer Grumbling Is not commend
able. Murmuring makes no music.
No true person ever admires 1t. Com,
plant against Providence is ungrac.
ious. 1t soon mars and jars the soul,
rendering the spirit harsh and dis,
cordant.
What burning shame! American
Epworthians finding fault when their
lines have fallen in such pleasant
places and they have so goodly
heritage! How can we feel migrate.
full who live in this best age Of hu.
man history, this freest land beneath
the sun, with all the light and warmth
and inspiration of the purest form of
Christianity ever enjoyed by man?
How can we be ungrateful who daily
breathe the wholesome, exhilarating
air of happy Christian homes, loving
and being loved, shielded, guarded,
sheltered by affections tender con.
siderateness? Why complain? The
recollection of Gods bounties ought to
shame us out OF the ugly practice.
Said missionary of Persia to a
young friend, "Do you ever feel
thankful when God blesses you?"
Always" was the reply. "Did you
ever tell him so?" well, l don't
know that / have" "Then try it, my
young friend. Tell him so; tell him
aloud; tell him so that you will hear
1t yourself" Sing thankful hymns
Pray thankful prayers. Live thank
full Lives. How easily we forget his
benefits toward US!
Ingratitude has been styled the
DEVILS sponge because It wipes out
from the memory the favors our
Father has bestowed so lovingly and
so literally. The Israelites had
scarcely dropped their chains of
cruel bondage when they murmured
against God who had delivered them,
by miraculous power and infinite COM
passion. When we sustain losses and
meet new trials we forget past
mercies.
Thanks to Him from whom comes
every possibility of enjoyment. 1t
ought to be easy to feel grateful to
him constantly. A lady said one day,
'My husband feels thankful all the
while: | only know that ought to
feel So" Each Christian heart ought
to be perennial fountain Of thanks
giving Let us increase and improve
the tone of our thankfulness by think.
ing much upon Gods character. Re-
member that thankful and thought
full are derived from the same root
and have a kindred meaning.

Gods Overture to Us.

Jehovah is the unt hanging God. To-day
He answers our longing desires. saying.
There is place beside Me-" He would
hot keep us at distance, but always woos
US to nearness That place is the place of
understanding. You must see the picture
at its right angle if you would know its
meaning. So it is in life. History and ex-
perience have their dark problems. The
stained glass window is a mystery when
seen from within by artificial light. But
when the sunlight streams through and
transfgures it, we read its meaning. So
God would let His light fall upon our past
experiences, and reveal His purposes work
ing through their ever-changing vicssi-
tudes. 1t is also the place of His presence.
Jacob is, much slower to leave Bethel than
he was to run into it. The thought of
Esau filled him with fear. But he saw
."the. place beside God" and said, "The
Lord is in this place" The experiences
Of life may not alter, but they are vastly
different when we are conscious of Gods
presence amid them. 1t is the place of
TRANSPORTATION. The unbroken calm Of
Gods peace, and the assurance Of eternal
security and success take possession of the
soul and the outer life responds to this in.
ner possession. This reserved place and
waiting blessing is Gods overture to US at
the threshold of another year. May His
Spirit help us to stand beside Him and ac-
cept this unspeakable gift.

Lesson Thoughts.
"The things we should miss the
most II we did not have them are
just the things for which we forget
to be thankful"
You are not in the right habit of
thanksgiving unless you pray a word
of thanks to God just as soon as a
good thing comes into your life."
Just as you use your handsomest
hote paper in writing notes of thanks,
so use your best powers OF express.

Selections.
The best thing that hearts that are
thankful can do
Is this-to make thankful some
other heart too.
1t is a pleasant sight to see any.

sorrows that have taught me more
than my joys. Grateful for health
and for sickness which has been

The fact that We said, Thank you,"

us at the table. does not excuse us
from saying THANK you" today.
Gratitude is for every day.

A Huge Charger.

When the celebrated king Of Mace
donia, Alexander the Great, was car
rying on a war In the East he went
against prince OF India called Porus.
1t Is said that SO large was Porus
that when he rode his elephant into
battle he looked In proportion to 1t
al an ordinary man does to a horse.
This elephant was almost human In
his cleverness. and when his master
was fainting from the many wounds
he had received. the faithful beast
knelt carefully down. drew his master
gently on his back and pIucked out
the sharp darts from the wounds with
his proboscis.
You may have seen the elephants
take peanuts into the opening at the
end OF their trunks and then pass
them into their huge mouths, using
the trunk almost as an arm with two
fingers. but surely you never dream
ed that clumsy. stupid.looking beast
had such q remarkable cleyerness
that he could care for his master as
did the pet OF the Indian Prince
Porus.

There's no such thing as living Gods
way until you love Gods way.
No human character can ripen or
sweeten without the sunshine OF love.
Some try to quench mans thirst by
throwing him into boiling water.
The people with the opera cloaks
won't have all the front seats In
Heaven.
Many people who reside In hell got
there by resting on the road TO
Heaven.
God never fails to open you path
though. He may refuse you philoso-
ply.
The clouds may shut out today's sun,
but they cannot hide yesterdays prom-
ises.
Many who fear to walk under lad
der have no hesitation In climbing all
over the commandments OF God.
II Is hard to catch heavenly fruits
when you are carrying earthly frets.
The flowers OF sweet character bloom
where the storms OF tsssA naye Liown.

God is love God is light! This ancient
message is also the most recent report of
our own personal experience. Oh, God il
our home indeed We can no more de-
scribe this consciousness to man who has
founding from a workhouse understand
the mysterious joys of an earthly Christian
home. Yes, we are at home with God. He
satisfies! He satisfies! 1t is He who gives
the completing touch to thought, TO work,
to pleasure and to life. Without Him our
intellectual ladder has neither foundation
to stand upon below nor rest to lean
against above. Without Him our purposes
miss their best fruition and our joys their
perfume. He is our nome indeed, and we
know the unmistakable sign when we feel
the outstretched love Of Our Father bend
ing over us.

will see a lowering OF horns and q

reason dates back for hundreds OF

to use horns and hoofs to keep them

Keep Moral Ideas Clear.

We need, above all things, to keep our
moral ideal clear and high. "Woe unto
him that puts light for darkness and dark.
ness for light, sweet for bitter" etc. That
is. woe unto him that confounds moral dis
tinctions. Not our patriotism or our par.
tisanship must blind US to truth. Neither
for ourselves nor our country nor our
party may we condone sin or falsehood or
meanness. If prophecies, chosen mes.
senger of God, could go wrong, how easily
may we. Dean Hodges is just publishing
book on "The Human Nature of the
Saints" A companion volume might be
"The False Judgments of Christian Peo-
ple." Bias is almost irresistible. What
helps on that which we much care for we
are apt to praise without looking too close
ly at its moral quality. So doing, We close
our insight, extinguish the light OF God
kindled within us, and by and by we may
find ourselves walking in darkness rather
than light, perishing, perhaps, as Balaam
perished among the enemies of the Lord.

- For bright, impossible things
Don't SIT supineiy yearning
For the swiftness OF angel wings
Don't spurn to be rushlight
Because you are not star
But brighten some bit OF darkness

The humb,est deed is ennoblcd
When it is worthily done.
You may never be called TO brighten
The darkened regions afar
So I'LL for the day your mission

Just where you are, my brother,
