this summons, they would open their
window blinds, their eyes would b
charmed by the view that they saw.
1t is not every one who sleeps at night
in such a place as Brentwood, and can
have a Coniston morning to greet his
vision when he awakes and opens his
windows. But there Is glory enough
in the morning anywhere to start our
hearts singing at the dawn of the day,
If only we would look out. 1t would
be we'll If all Of US could be awakened
every morning with the call, Are
you looking out?" There IS always
something worth seeing If we would
draw our curtains and look out.
This is true not only Of nature, but
Of all the experiences of life. We
allow ourselves to be too much i'm
pressed by somber views. We let the
troubles and the unpleasant things
bulk too largely in our vision. We
live too much indoors, with our wv
frets' and cares. If every morning
we would fling open our windows and
look out on the wide reaches of Gods
love and goodness we could not help
singing. Some one writes: Many
a day would be brighter If begun
with some thought in the heart that
might open the door to a nobler
vision of life, and would not some
of our less cheerful moods be dis
PEELED by a wider outlook"
Our lives are all too apt to run IN
grooves, and often they are very mar
row grooves, indeed. Yet all about
us are scenes of beauty, not in ma
ture alone, but in the lives of our
fellow men. Often in the most IN
expected places, in some nook or
Granny of a nature that seemed only
%forbidding, we shall find some BIOS
som Of rarest fragrance. In those
quiet hours Of meditation, when our
hearts reach up to the great heart OF
God, we may stand upon the noun
tain tops with Him and catch glimpses
of that land which too often seems
afar off. Are you looking out?"-
Rev. 7. R. Miller, D. D., in Advocate
and Guardian.

GETTING THE HABIT OF
THANKSGIVING.

that these changes in our circum"
stances and experiences shall not at
feet us in our inner life. That Is
what Saint Paul meant when he said
that he had learned in whatsoever
state he was therein to be content. 1t
was no easier for him to have to suf-
fer and endure want and p~rivation
than it is for us. There was no lux
ury to him in being cast into a dun
geon and having his feet made fast
in the stocks. But he had learned not
to fret when his condition was IN
pleasant. Wherever we find him he
is singing, never despairing. The

this golden organ. Nothing Should
ever silence its music. Even when
the floods Of sorrow flow oVer it it
should still continue to rejoice and
sing.
One of the secrets of such a life is
found in the cultivation Of the habit
of thankfulHess. Nothing less than
this will do. Most people have brief
hours in which their hearts are filled
with grateful feelings. and when all
the world seems beautiful to them.
But these sammy times soon pass, and
then for days they give themselves
over to discomfort and complaining.
Anybody can sing when walking amid
the flowers and in sunny ways; the
test OF life comes when the garden
path becomes a bit of a desert road.
We are not fully ready for living I'M
til we have strength enough to carry
us through the hardest places and the
deepest glOoms.
Thanksgiving Day is not intended
to gather into itself a whole years
thanks. BY being full of gratitude
For the n day, we cannot make up
for three hundred and sixty-four days
of ingratitude. Every day should be
a thanksgiving day.
OF course, there is a difference in
the days. Some Of them are dark,
while others 4 bright. On certain
days things seem to go wrong with
US and our affairs get tangled; on
other days life flows along like n
song. We want to learn to live so
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1908-11-25

habit of Thanksgiving had been so
wrought into his life that nothing
could ever break it.
Just how to learn this habit Of
thanksgiving is the question. One
thing is to learn to trust. The cause
of all complaining and discomfort is
want of trust in God. If we believe
in God as our Father, that He loves
us and will care for US, and put at
once into His hands all matters that
would disturb or fret US, God Him
self will keep US in perfect peace.
Worry is death to the thanksgiving
spirit, while nothing so drives worry
from the heart as a thanksgiving
SOng.
Another thing that helps in form
ing this habit of thanksgiving is to
make sure of seeing the good and
lovely world. 1t could not be other
wise, for it is our Fathers world. He
made it beautiful because it was to
be the home of His children. Yet
some see nothing of the lo~velinoss
which lies about them continually
everywhere. They are like men tour
ing through a country with glorious
scenery, in a stage each, keeping the
curtains fastened down all the time
and seeing nothing.
1t Is said that Mr.. RusKin's guests
Lat Brentwood were often awakened
carly in the morning by a knocking
at their door and the call, Are you
looking out?" When, in response to

Blouse or Shirt Waist.

There is no waist quite so useful al
the simple tailored one, and this model
would be charming made from linen
or soft finished pique. from the pom
gee that is so s~erviceable and so
fashionable, from the thinner madras
and also from silk or from washable
flannel. It makes a most satisfactory
model whatever the material may be,
and it suits both the separate waist
and the gown. The tucks that are
stitched for their entire length give
a tapering effect and the wide box
pleat allows successful use Of the or
namental buttons that make such a
feature of the late season. In this
case white linen is trimmed with big
pearl buttons and worn with a collar

in the Berks County Jail yard.
