Praise an Act of Worship,
Says BiShOp-ELect Harding

Simplicity marked the Thanksgiving
services at st. Paurs Episcopal Church,
where DIT. Alfred Harding. Blshop-elecL
OF the diocese Of Washington, OBLIGATED.
He took as his text the last two verses
OF the CHI Psalm: Praise the Lord
o my soul, and ali that is i'm me Praise
the Lord and forget not all His bene-
hts."
Praise is an act of worship" said Dr.
Harding. 1T is higher act than
thanksgiving, for thanksgiving is more
selfish. We need first cultivate the at
/ titude of praise before we car enter
into the act of Thanksgiving.
"Think OF the great generosity OF God,
who was perfect and needed nothing
Himself, yet cut of His bounty. sent
to us those wonderful words, Let there
be light. and who gave as atterward
all the wonderful inventions, comforts,
and joys Tor which we ought 10 give
praise
Merciful and Just.
Remember His mercy 10 the just and
unjust alike. Let us give praise for His
love. May all that is within us praise
IIim-praise Him with our bodies and
with our minds. The more reverently
we use our minds. the more we viii
realize the patience, mercy, and love of
Sod.
Thanksgiving is the remembrance of
great benefit. If we forgot Gods 5ene-
fits we are guilty of great ingratitude
10 Him. The whole book IF deuteronomy
is a warning not TO forget when ya
have eaten ana are run forget not 20
give thanks,
Il think often of the American SOL
diers and sailors with the fleet now on
a cruise around the world. 7 think with
thankfulness Of the way God has pre-
served them from all the perils of the
sea.
Il think Of the wonderful evidence Of
cvility of our republic which has just
passed through what is crisis I'm other
natlons-a change OF government In
other countries IL often leads to revo-
luton. But here we have gone through
a hard campaign, a political battle in
which there was much lighting. But
now that Ii is over, we not only ac-
quiesce, but we come to the support Of
the common choice
Parish Newly HonOred
we think Of many benefits today. but
1 think that we especially think of the
honor that has come to the parish of
st. PauIs through the election of your
rector to the bishopric OF the diocese of
Washington. Although I feel only the
great responsibility, yet I am truly glad
the honor has come to this parish, where
YOU have worked hard and faithfully,
where you have been generous and kind
I'm all the church work, / wish also TO
