WHY DO We GIVE THANKS?

As we look backward on the year
and on the years, why should we
be thankful? For life, its pleasures,
its enjoyments, its good; for its
sorrows and diasppointments even,
for are they not often part of the
ministry of heaven to make us bet
ter? For friends, for parents, for
wife and children, and for the Great
Friend who leaves us not when
others sometimes fail.
For the kindly fruits of the earth
which have come to us, the products
of our labor conjoined with the
blessing of God. For who of us, of
himself alone, can make one ear of
corn, one leaf? For our fathers who
won for us the right of self-govern-
ment. For peace and the prospect
of greater peace must we as a nation
give thanks. A wide peace which
will forever brood over the three
nations on this continent giving an
example and inspiration to the less
favorably situated peoples of the old
world, and lifting them up we hope
to its emultion.
For the spirit Of progress, for the
reform of old evils, for the pruning
of corruption from the body polite
we can give thanks; not only for
good accomplished but for the
augury of greater and better things
to come. For our churches and our
schools, and for the millions of
happy pure homes which dot this
continent. For the fact that we are
not nation of the past, a decaying
nation, but a nation of the present
and the future. For the great open
ings up of Natures wondrous secrets
which seem now to he coming upon
us. For larger, cleaner, healthier
thought, and for the old truth, old
and ever new, that this God is our
God for ever and ever. He will be
our guide even unto death.

Very recently a wealthy man died
in New York and bequeathed
s25, 100000 to numerous religious
and benevolent causes. Tha
amount, stupendous as it was, was
not the whole of his benefactions
for throughout his life he gave large
sums for similar purposes. A few
weeks before another wealthy man
died, also in New York, and left a
fortune of over 5000, 100000, but
he left not one cent for philanthropy.
What difference between the two
men. One recognized his obliga-
tions to the world and the value of
religion and benevolence in the
formation of character and the up
lifting of humanity. The other
man seemed to have no such con-
seriousness and therefore built up
his mighty fortune for himself and
family alone. The two facts in all
their details convey their own lesson.
