Some Thanksgiving Thoughts.

In accordance with a long
established custom and by virtue
of law, both national and state,
the last Thursday in November
in each year has been set apart
to be observed as a day of
Thanksgiving to Almighty God.
Some weeks previous to this day
the president Of the United
States issues a proclamation and
the governors of each state do
likewise, calling upon the people
to gather in their respective
places Of worship and render
thanksgiving and praise to the
giver Of every good and perfect
gift. Few people observe this
as it should be and as it is in
tended to be-. Instead of making
it a day Of praise, Thanksgiving
and joy, it is usually spent in
rivolity, sport and pleasure.
Deep humility of soul and a de-
vout feeling of dependence upon
God should characterize each
!ile on this day.
