THE BEST THANKS
pose

(EdWard Chandler in Boston GlODe)
 The possible method of giving thanks for the blessings of life is to live joyoUsly and timely When the flowers of spring break forth in their simple beauty because of the suns they make the response of gratitude When human be- ings expand in the richness and genialty of hearts and sincere desires thev showing the supremest gratitude. The sparkling air of frosty fall day makes feel good" but feeling good. is nothing else than grateful recognition of the atmospheric stimulus felt in the blood.
 It may be that formal phrases of gratitude are not spoken readily sin earlier days. It may be that there is less informal phrasng of grateful emotions than there when life less complex and disturbed Quantitative compari- sons of emotions hard to make and sure to be inaccurate. Who shall say that there is less genial and joyous living today, sluggish sponse to the warming spirit of fellowship?
 Mere laughing does not signify happiness nor does the pursuit of commercialized amuSe ments mean true joyousness. But the judgment of the capacity of humanity for thankfulness must beN based wider evidence than the wretchedness wrought by crime and poverty. or the cynical pess- imism of those who have been cheated in life's game. the unhappy restlessness of the wanderers in q great city.

(Joc Mitchell Chappe in National MagaZine)
 When Horace Greeley had guest over Sunday by request of his wife, he seemed to feel neces- SarY to write sermons for them, to be delivered on the morning of the Sabbath The religious beliefs of his visitors would be ascertained and then he would set to work. If one q Baptist. Greeley would preach real Baptist sermon; if a Presby- terian, Presbyterian Episcopal, EpiscopaIan sermon. Whatever might be the creed of the guest Greeley always had fitting and apprOpratc to the occasion. He read the Bible thoroughly and said that he felt that human mind able fully to cOmprhend that great book, it's depth and profundity being beyond human capa- city; it seemed universal and broad he declared that 1t would cover almost sort of belief. He used to remark how many ministers would put fuSi- tive phrases together support various religious dOgmas and example the quotation And went and hanged himself, thou and do likewise The two phrases of course, separate. but they served the purpose to make illustration for Hor Greeley to how much depends not only upon punctuation but q study of the context.
