RAMBLING REMARKS
By Geo. O. Blake

society sagely discussed the
question: How Does God Want
to be Thanked?" Now do not
profess 10 know the will OF the
Almighty. but that question set
me to thinking about several
things which always struck me as
incongruous in so-called religious
exercises. From my youth l
have heard public prayers offered
from the pulpit. either to the
Deity or the congregational never
was certain which. and their tone
was always that Of an abject slave
imploring master for mercy.
These prayres never appeared to
me to be complimentary to the
Deity because thr inference to be
drawn from them was that the
Master was a hard one whose i'll
temper must be placated as a pre-
lude to favors asked. Some of US
at least have had wise, just and
considerate fathers. In the phe-
nomena we see around us are
evidences of wisdom and writ
large on the face of nature are
laws just and benehcent. 1t has
always seemed to me that the
Almighty is certainly as good as
any earthly father. certainly as
wise and certainly as broad
minded. Now imagine an ideal
earthly father coming home to
dinner, which of course he had
furnished. being confronted by
his entire family down on their
marrow bones, their eyes and
hands uplifted in supplica,ion
and abjectly protesting their en-
tire unworthiness. reminding him
of his manifold kindness to them.
proiusely thanking him for the
same ard incidentally praying
continuance of his favor. He
would certainly conclude that his
family had gone daft. How does
he want to be thanked2 Ger
tainly not in that way. Does the
Almighty want to be thanked
in that wayr An earthly father
is proud ofhis children when they
cammand the respect of their
fellows. He doesn't need to Be
told in words. He knows by their
acts whether there is thankful
ness IN their hearts. He needs
no flattery to make Him kindly
DISPOSED toward them. His store
is at their command and he ex-
| poets them to use what he has
provided for them without cere-
mohy. Our Father above has
spread out His bounty before US
and expects us to use 1t as ocr
needs require. just as an earthly
father does for his family. The
earthly father does not expect his
family to offer formal thanks for
his bounty. neither l imagine
does our Father above. 1t seems
to me that the Almighty desires
to be thanked in as sensible way
as an earthly father desires it.

a favor OF his father in the way

he waited for something. My per

Miss Gertrude before flying from the
country. Then, when he had shot
down Arnold Armstrong that night, he
had TO choose between two evils He
did the thing that would Immediately
turn public opinion in his favor, and
surrendered himself, as an innocent
man. The strongest thing against
him is his preparation for flight, and
his deciding to come back after the
murder of Arnold Armstrong. He was
