THANKSGIVING DAY
: x x x X x y \ x 4 4 x y 4
By the Rev. R. N. Avison.


As we read the proclamation of our
president and the governor Of our state,
we are reminded Of how near is our an
nual Thanksgiving. Surely as indiv-
iduals and as families we do not for
get to give our thanks every day for
the manifold bounty of God. But on
next Thursday let us join with our
|neighbors and friends and citizens gen
orally in q great community thanksgiv-
ing that will be worthy of our pro-
gressive, prosperous law abiding, home
loving and beautiful city of Salem.
No nation of the world has greater
reason for thanksgiving tnan ours and
in our own city surely goodness and
mercy has crowned the year and sup
piled us abundantly with the "Finest
of the Wheat,
In recognition of the day, the Salem
Ministerial Union has arranged num-
Der of groups or community meetings.
In south Salem at the Friends church
on South Commercial In north Salem
at the Highland Friends church. In
east Salem at some church to be desig-
mated. The German speaking people
are invited to the German Evangelical
church on Liberty street. The English
speaking people of the central section
of the city will meet at the First Meth
odist Episcopal church. These services
will be at 1880 in the morning and it
is expected That the people will support
the services in their respective COM
munities. An offering will be taken at
all these services for the relief of the
suffering Armenians.
If you substitute the name "Salem' v
for the word "Pohick, the following
verses will, in homely way, suggest
our duty and our privilege.
Preparedness.
We re mighty glad we re livin down
to Pohick on the Crick.
We re ready fur Thanksgivin an it
can 7 come round too quick.
| Of course, we have our sorrows, same as
other people get,
But they don't outweigh the blessin s
we kin mention-not as yet.
We haven't had our share of all the
funds the nation pays
Erectin public buildin s an improvin
waterways
But we find the sun a-shinin' an the
shy d-btuHllH piueJ
Even though we pay more taxes than
we really think is due.
We know the cost of food is high, an
goin' higher still,
But les the same we go ahead an
labor with a will,
If we can't join the banquetin', ;, assay.
in, Happy days!"
Wen drink the water from the spring
an eat the stuff we raise.
We have our own opinions, though We
mix up the debate
Till we have to git some lecturer to
come an set us straight.
The wheels of time move softly. Taerc
is musi, in this click,
An we re ready fur Thanksgivin down
to Pohiek on the Crick.
