tention to "the strange and curious
coincidence" that the name of God

Gratitude.

Gratitude is word that
comprehends all the happiness
of fhe human race. 1t turns
the heart to the Fountain of All
Good and SO makes possible a
greater receptivity and greater
joy. Without it even glories OF
heaven could not confer happi-
ness, and all the sweet amenities
of life would fail. With it the
humbles home may be blest with
angel visits, and one step upward
from the depths of grief may be
fraught with new.found joy.
But shall we be grateful for the
mere incidents of life and forget
to be supremely grateful for life
itself? We murmnr SO much at
the conditions of life, and on
reluctant concession we admit that
this is better than that, and 80 we
express our feeble thanks-prais-
ing the beauty of single leaf
while murmuring at the tree that
bore it.
Are you truly grateful for life?
Are you glad that you were born?
Do you accept your life from the

hand of God as his richest gift
the containant of all other possible
blessings?
Life is a wonderful gift-the
most wonderful and the most
blessed gift that the Infinite God
could plan for the objects of his
love. We have hardly begun to
learn how great it is, how great it
can be. Beginning at birth, and
through childhood, youth and age,
it stretches out into the realms of
Eternity-ever growing vaster and
yet more vast in its approximation
of limitless possibilities. If you
had not been born you would never
have known life-the sum of all
blessings.
The unqualified acceptance of
life, with all its mystery and pain,
all its laber and weariness, and
yet all its sweetness and Joy, and
all its latent potentiality-that is
and forever must be the basis of
true gratitude, the one great theme
for thanks. Unless you are CRATE
full for life itself you cannot be
truly glad for anything that life
contains. But being grateful fer
life itself adds a tinge of celestial
glory to every simple blessing and
makes Today akin to the vast
Forever, Exchange.
