Notes and Newe Of
81 Interest [N:5:W:

The old, old Thanksgiving Day is
near at hand4 What power it has to re-
vive happy memories and recall bright
scenes of other days. Pictures of peace,
contentment, competence, abundance
and joy are recalled on the return of
this joyous home celebration and feast.
Thanksgiving is festival simple in its
nature humble in its pretensions, set
apart for true freside delights and I'M
selfish thought of others.
The origin of the day was with a peo-
pie who were exiles for the sake OF
truth and liberty. Compared with the
wealth and abundance of the present
day, our pilgrim fathers had little
enoegh to be thankful for, but with
deep gratitude for the scant fruits of
the earth in their first harvest, their
preservation from the dangers always
present in a new land, and from the
hostility of their neighbors, the Indians,
they met in their place of worship and
returned thanks unto "the Lord who
hath done great things for us, whereof
we are thankful %
This is, indeed, the season of praising
God for His gifts. In the words OF
Archbishop French: GAS all things
come from Him, so we are bound to
render unto Tim thanks for all; for the
magnihcence of the earth He has
framed for mans dwelling place, for
the hills which he has set so fast with
His power, for this brave overhanging
armament, fretted with golden fires,
for the beauty of the world. = And
remember, that goodness is more than
greatness, and grace than gifts; that
men attain to heaven not soaring on
the wings of genius, but patiently climb
ing by the steep stairs of faith, love and
obedience.
Let us be thankful in the true spirit,
and cultivate that unselhsh, contented,
cheerful temper that makes every day
one of joy and of thanksgiving.

MOTHERS MEETING.

A very interesting programme was
carried out at the mothers meeting of
the public kindergarten Tuesday. No
vember 10. Beautiful song selections
were contributed by Mrs. Lambert and
Miss Whaling, followed by Miss Schus-
ter's talk, in which she told what the
children had been doing the past month.
The last part of the talk developed the
true meaning of Thanksgiving telling
lhow to teach the children to observe it
to be thankful for the harvest and the
provision for winter. Remember the
poor by giving and sharing with them
true gratefulness is shown.
Piano selection by Miss George v.

How Patty gave thanks. /"
A social chat over the teacups with
Mines. Lambert, Wolfe and Simpson as

The Thanksgiving spirit was beauti-
fully manifested in the comfortable
looking bundles of warm clothing piled
on the benches. These and bags of pro-
visions were offerings from the chill

children with their dear teachers will

NOVEMBER NOTES.

November gets its name from mo
vem," the Latin word for nine. 1t was
anciently the ninth month, before the
calendar was changed in 7I3 B. c. when
January and February were added,
since which time it has been the elev-
enth month. Sagittarius is the zodiacal
sign for November 1t means the archer
and is derived from the Latin word
"sagittus" arrow, and is typical of the
sudden cold which shoots into the
earth causing vegetation to cease. The
sun is in both Sagittarius and Scorpio
during November, and both signs infu-
ence those born in this month, says the
oracle. Scorpio bestows thrift, ambi-
ton, mental and physical vitality and
great executive ability If born during
the last hal fof the month you will be
earnest, fearless, generous, sympathetic,
lust and honest, You will make quick
decisions and be blessed with keen
sense of humor and great wit.
