God complacently for our harvests,

love. Isn't it so?"
Yes" / admitted
Well" continued the girl, the Pill
grtms did that. too, years ago. But
they did not stop there. After they
thanked God for their own blessings
they tried to pass on the JOY to folk
less fortunate than they were. They
even invited the Indians, beings that
they had every reason to be afraid of,
into their homes and gave them tit
tie OF the season cheer They kept
Thanksgiving.
"Then"-I was choosing my words
rather carefully-"then your idea is
not to be thankful yourself-only to
give someone else a chance to be
thankful?"
But, asked the girl softly isn't
that the right way to be thankfuL?'
Isn't it?
It's very easy thing to pass along
the outside Of life without even Dip
ping down into the depths, and ever so
many people do it because it is the
easiest way. Somehow it is hard to
convince folk that things that tear at
their heartstrings are the things that
they should see and know. It's mighty
easy to eat our Thanksgiving dinners
without thought OF our brothers and
sisters who are starving on some other
street in the same city. and it's only
because ii is SO much easier, | reckon,
that people do forget to pass a bit OF
their plenty and peace.
But as | write. can't help thinking
