ThanksQivinp.

Thanksgiving is one Of the most
benehcent forces in forming character.
It begets cheerfulness, content, radi.
ance Of face and heartiness Of human
intercourse. The man who Is bent on
discharging his debt in the way Of the
recognition Of the kindly services Of
which every day he is the beneficiary
is sure to get a keener eye for the
good about him. in others. and In the
world. The more sunshine he gives
away the SUMMER will his own life be-
come. Thanksgiving is one OF these
things Of which 1t Is true. that the
more you give away the more you
have remaining. and for two reasons
the giving is self-replenishing, and
the giver is more and more filed with
