all sorts of childish pleasures, as well

living is the best thanksgiving. A
grateful heart. attuned to praise Is as
acceptable to Jehovah as the acclaims
Of the seraphim and the cherubim-
Lives that are songs of gfadness doubt
less give the Father in heaven as much
pleasure as the celestial choi-s.
A prayer that is all petition, and
without praise, is bad-mannered-
The greatness, the goodness, and the
gentIsaess of Gea should all conspire
to evoke the gratitude of man
Let US learn to be grateful for the
big things. Our notable national bless
ings should be oftsner in mind than
once a year. The spread of brother
hood over the earth should start our
songs. The triumphs of the cross over
the crescent, and all the spiritual vic
tories of the gospel in non-Christian
lands, should meve US deeply. The
swift progress of science, overthrowing
the things that have hurt the race for
ages, should inspire real gladness In all
who love their kind. So should the new
sense of the value OF human life and
human welfare. There never was an
age which had such reason as this to
offer thanksgivings to the Giver Of all
good gifts.
If had faltered more or less,
In my great task OF happiness;
If had moved among my race,
And shown no glorious morning face;

And stab my spirit broad awake.
