Rocky Mount, Va, May 4
(Salem Times Register. }

Thank you, is only two small
words, yet how seldom do we use
them. How often do you say" thank
you" TO Providence for life and
health and the comforts of life? How
often do you say "thank you" to
your father who provides daily by
toll and labor for what you daily eat
wear? How often do you say "thank
you TO your mother who spends her
days in preparing your meals, fixing
your clothing, nursing you when
sick and her nights in prayer for
your we'll fare? How often does the
idea of thankfulness take possession
of you? Daily? No. Weekly? No.
Monthly? No. Well how often?
