reminds me of the lines.
There is nothing, good or bad,
But thinking makes it So"
If we are not thankful it is our own
fault. There are few of us whom for
tune has so abused. but on this one day
of the year we cannot find something
to be thankful about-if we but think
We can at least be thankful for the
free blessing of light, the blue sky so
clear and deep in the November days.
the sunshine that brightens the earth
and the life that runs in our veins,
There are few of us too so poor we
cannot give thought of gratitude for
other blessings we have. There are
few of us so placed in life that we
cannot help someone else to be thank
full II we try.
From the first Thanksgiving day
when Governor Bradford sent out men
to bring in wild turkeys for the feast.
in honor of the first harvest in Ply
mouth, there has been a general opin
ion that this is a harvest festival and
80 it becomes a home festival. That
is one of the blessings of thu day to
mothers and fathers. They can give
thanks in truth when they see their
children and grandchildren around
them. 1t ought to be In the minds or
sons and daughters, a pleasant duty,
TO pay especial attention to their par
ents on this day. II they cannot be
at home they can at least send let
ter or a telegram of greeting to the
''home folks"
The thought of Thanksgiving being
a home festival sometimes Is stun
bling block in the minds Of men and
women, who have either no home ties
or are prevented by circumstances
from being in their own home circle or
from Joining the circle OF their
friends. So they shrug their mental
shoulders and say to themselves, Why
should | be thankful? No one cares.
Something like that was the first
thought of young woman, alone in
large city, making her own way in
the world Her second thought was
better. She reasoned: IF am alone
here with no one to give me Thanks
giving dinner, there must be great
many others in the same position, and
maybe some who cannot buy even
good dinner
IF I'm going to show any gratitude
Tor the blessings Of health and
strength and courage, I'll look out for
someone else" She did so, by going to
the superintendent of newsboy home
and asking for three boys who had no
relatives or friends In the city who
should be her guests at a Thanksgiv-
ing dinner The superintendent en-
tered heartily into the plan. On
Thanksgiving day she made these
boys her real guests mot charity
guestsD, in every sense. There was
turkey dinner with all the "hxings,
and there were tickets to matinee
in the afternoon. BIT best OF all, she
became acquainted with them to such
a degree that these boys looked upon
her as a friend and showed In diff
ferent ways later how much they ap-
preciated the Thanksgiving treat.
