Tho Best Thanksgiving.

There Is one blessing which Is never
taken away from those who want 1t.
It Is worthier of our thanksgiving than
all other blessings combined. And
the more we give thanks for It, the
more we shall see in 1t to give thanks
for. This blessing is God himself.
Have we learned the Joy Of thanking
God for himself? Have we practiced
this form of thanksgiving daily? To
pour out our thanksgiving to God for
what he Is has q remarkable result.
It that in the very act Of such
thanksgiving we receive more Of him
to be thankful for. 1t is as though,
when we thanked q friend for a gen.
erous gift Of money, with every word
of our thanks that friend poured more
money into our hands. The outgoing
of our praise to God means the in
coming Of God. Let US take time
apart on this Thanksgiving day, alone
with God, to praise him and thank
him for what he is. A half-hour spent
thus with him, with perhaps the book
of Psalms open before US, can make
the day memorable in u lives
Moreover-let 1t be said reverently-
it will make the day memorable in
Gods own life; for the praise of hif
children rejoices Gods heart. Shall
we not make It a day Of thanksgiv
ing in heaven because Of our thanks
giving on earth?-Sunday Schoo'

Make II all 1t can be, and history will
add q new chapter, and you will be

Let us give thanks. The nation
needs the inspiration Of your song.
There are plenty Of groans and grunts
and growls. We need more song.
It hain't no use to grumble and complains
It's just as cheap and easy to rejoice.
You will feel more manly by being
glad. 1t adds to your self-respect and
makes you feel that you lave a place
in the world. Inspire your age with a
new type Of chivalry. Meet drones
and kickers with a smile and you will

that Is to be. Wherever you are let
this be a real period Of thanksgiving.
