share of the worlds goods, and to tell
yourself and others you are grateful,
but to actually feel grateful; in other
words. to be cheerful and trustful, to
see the bright aspect Of the important
and unimportant issues of your life
and to have faith in the power that
controls them.
If you are cheerful and hopeful, you
feel the Joy of life, and unconsciously
give thanks for life itself; and that
is genuine gratitude.
You cannot voluntarily become
imbued with the spirit Of gratitude,
any more than you can voluntarily
fell real affection for a stranger.
Be thankful, therefore, in the truest
sense, and peace and contentment
will hallow the day.

THANKSGIVING.
| 1t was years and years ago,
Mid the winters ice and snow,
That our sturdy old forefathers kept
the first Thanksgiving Day;
What though hearts were sorely
tried!
What though half of them had died!
LET us make feast together and
give thanks to God" said they.

Tossed between them and their

safe in Gods protecting arm.
And they labored and contested
Till from forest gloom they wrested
Game and fowl in great abundance
fit to grace the festive board.
And the snarling sea they plum
dered,
While it's breakers roared and thun
dered,
For the fish to flank the wild fow
and the harvest's gathered
hoard.
Then they sang with souls upliftet
Till the gloomy skies seemed rifted
And heavens glory shown upon them
filling all their hearts will
cheer.
Let us read Times yellowed page
! For this story of the ages,
And like them in grateful praise
sing the harvest of the year!
