THANKSGlvEN.

Once each year the people Of
these United States and terri.
tories are called upon to cease
their various labors and usual
daily vocations, assemble at the
churches and other places of
meeting and give thanks to the
all wise God who has permitted
us to live and enjoy life, giving
US peace, happiness, contentment
and prosperity as nation. 1t is
but fitting that we should all
comply with the proclamation
issued by the President and those
issued by the various states to
give thanks and praises to Him
from whom all blessings flow.
Yet in this land of plenty and
happiness there is not plenty and
happiness to all of its people.
We who have plenty and happi-
ness should strive to help our less
unfortunate and see that they too
enjoy the blessings, at least for
one day. Make it a day of real
thanksgiven and then when we
sit saround our over laden tables
of tempting viands we all may
sing that hymn, "Praise God
from Whom all Blessings Flow
and the American people will be
more closely united then ever. be-
fore. =.-#.
