Not long ago a little girl was asked
by another little girl what she usually
did on Thanksgiving day. II eat all

quick reply. THAT'S a pity" re-
marked her Questioner, "for it doubt
less makes you i'll, and does nobody
good. Now, l enjoy a good dinner,
too, but I eat in moderation. And 1
carry a basket of nice things to some
poor sick person who otherwise
might not get any Thanksgiving din
ner."
II every child who has a good home
and plenty to eat on Thanksgiving
day would remember the words OF
the thoughtful and kind-hearted little
girl quoted above there would be
cause for much rejoicing and thank
fitness on the day that we all look
forward to with SO much anticipation.
But 1t is a fact, sad to relate, that
too many persons-not merely chill
dren, but grown-ups as well-think Of
Thanksgiving merely as a day of
feastfng-I might say of gorging. Par
ents make the mistake Of not remind

Irving Berlin, the author of my

a recent dinner in New York.
"A true happening was the inspira'
tion of this song.
"In July a Brooklyn woman set out
for Ocean Groove, and on her arrival
discovered that her watch, a small af'
fair, was missing. She thought 1t
had probably dropped on the thick,
soft dining-room rug, so she wired to
the maid at home:
"'Let me know if you find anything
on rug in dining-room.'
"A few days later she got from
the maid a letter saying:
"'Dear Madam: l was to let you
know If l found anything on the din

this morning: Three champagne corks,
18 cigar butts, five cigarette ends, four
blue chips, SO burnt matches and one

DR.. Pratt then read an address on the
association, tracing first Its growth
from the synod which met at Saybrook
in September Of 1908 1t is a notable
fact, he said. that the Congregational
church Is now returning to that idea CT
organization which was adopted 200
years ago. Congregationalism does not
mean independence united by a few
social amenities. but rather q church
which looks to Christ as not only its
mystical but its political Head.
1t has bean a bane Of the Congrega-
ttonal church, he said. that they have
exalted the idea of separatisn1, freedom
from outside control. But cf this very
idea Jonathan Edwards wrote: Il have

best expression of that for which the
