Gratitude.-Ps eXlvh, ~ Thanksgiving
day meeting1 Edited BY Rev Sherman
II. Doyle. - D.
Gratitude is Que of the most heaud-
full OF all the ChrIstian graees What
is more bscomlng than n proper ex-
preston of appreciation of benefits
that have been received, whether from
God or from man? Yet it is u grace
that is very often sadly lacking How
many receive blessings and benefits
from their fellow men and yet accept
them as a matter of course and mani
fest no appreciation of what has been
done In their behalf. lnappreciation
of kindnesses done is one of the chief
hindrances to continued we'll doing. 1t
is not that good is done for the pur-
pose OF praise, but the lack of graft
tude stamps the one benefited as I'M
worthy. But men are especially I'M
grateful to God Every good and
perfect gift" comes from God. and yet
how thankless we are in spite Of all
His goodness and of all our unworthi-
ness! At this national Thanksgiving
season we may well search our own
hearts and see If we have rendered
unto our God gratitude fer all His
benefits unto us.
There are many reasons for gratitude
to God. For national blessings today
we may well be grateful unto Him
What nation has He more abundantly
blessed In the past year than our own?
We enjoy peace and prosperity unex-
celled in the history of the world We
have had abundant crops. industrial
prosperity. national and international
peace. What more as a nation could
we ask from the God of nationsi The
blessing Of God has been poured out
upon His church in our land. There
has been no great spiritual revival. yet
steady and sure progress has been
made. The great Christian denomina-
tons have more than held their own.
Such great causes as temperance and
social and political Righteousness have
been advanced Souls have been saved
and saints built up and comforted in

fngs come from God, and we should
not only feel grateful. but express our
gratitude. For the blessings of home
and individual life we have reason for
thanksgiving unto God
There are various ways of express
ing gratitude to God. First of all. II
should really be felt In the heart By
meditating upon the character and the
goodness of God we should be filed
with a feeling of gratitude toward
Him. True gratitude must always be-
gin In the heart But ii should not
end there 1t should also be expressed
in words and in deeds. In private
and in public worship we should de-
voutly thank our God for az His bene-
fits But above all we should express
our gratitude in deeds. Has God been
Kind to us, let us in His name be kind
to others. Has He helped us in the
time of need, LET us In His name help
others In their hour of need. Has He
forgiven US. let us forgive. In every
act let us show increased considera-
ton and devotion to Him and to His
cause. The best thanksgiving Is

PHILOSOPHY or LIFE-
Ii isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave andoue
That givss you bi. o; he4rtaehe
At the setting Of the sun.
The tender word forgotton;
The letter you did not write;
The flower you did not send, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brothers way;
The bit Of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much TO say;
The loving touch OF the hand, dear,
The gentle, winning tone,
Which you have no time or thought for
with troubles Of your own.
Those little acts of kindness
so easily out OF mind.
Those chances to be angels
Which we poor mortals ind,
They come in night and silence,
Each sad, reproaehful wrath,
When hope is faint and tagging
And a chill has fallen on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And ebrrow 10 all too great
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late;
And 1t isn't the thing You do. dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you bit OF heartache
At the setting OF the sun.
