the Bible, and especially by the Christ
when He spoke of the one healed leper

glory to God Bt. Luke, 17:1s). 1t is
for US to learn how we can please our
loving Father by our hymns of praise
and prayers Of gratitude.
We must ever count 1t Christian thing
that we have our national Thanksgiving
day. It proves that we believe in God
as q people whom He has blessed. 1t
makes evident our instructive belief that
whatever of good has come to US has
come, not through our effort or by our
deserving, but as a free gift OF God s
love. It demands that on one day yearly
all labor shall cease, while we meet to
praise God and then. In home\or COM

Thanksgiving day. From crowded

To Thee bring sacrifice and praise
With shouts Of exaltation.

The hills with 10y are ringing.
The valleys stand so thick with corn
That even they are singing.
And now on this our festal day.

Upon Thy altar, Lord. we lay
The hrst fruits Of Thy blessing.
By Thee the souls Of men are fed
With gifts of grace supernal:
Thou who dost give US daily bread,
Give us the Bread eternaE
We bear the burden OF the day,
And often toll seems dreary;
But labor ends with sunset ray,
And rest Is for the weary.
May we, the angel-reaping DER,
Stand at the last accepted
Christ's golden sheaves for evermore
To gamers bright elected.
Oh, blessed Is that land Of God,
Where saints abide forever;
Where golden fields spread fair and broad,
Where flows the crystal river!
The strains Of all its holy throng
With ours today are blending;
Thrice blessed Is that harvest song
Which never hath an ending.
