knowledge of Gods Love and Power
ls the Supreme Cause for
Thanksgiving.

Abundant harvests, national pros
government of our own choice-thesi'
are certainly grounds for thanksgiv
ing in which every citizen can and
should take part. But 1t is quite
possible-in fact it is a common mis-
take-to accentuate these and other
outward blessings in such way as
to make 1t appear as II. without them.
we would as nation have little or
no ground for thanksgiving; whereas
thanksgiving would still remain IL
none Of these were present.
The knowledge that God loves the
world, that he reigns supreme and
controls all forces, and is overruling
all events to the ultimate overthrow
of everything that is evil and estab-
lishment of absolute Righteousness
that is the supreme cause for thanks
giving in as far as the things OF this
world are concerned.
But national thanksgiving can nev-
er be anything more than hollow
sham unless the hearts of the wor-
shippers are warmed by personal
gratitude to God for his personal
love and care and protection, and for
the precious and exceeding great
promises which he has given us. No
heart can be truly grateful to God
that has not learned to trust God and
to see his hand and his love in all
the experiences OF HE.
