Norwich bulletin., 1915-11-20


 Dear Editor and Corner Sisters: How are you, one and all? Welcome, all new writers; there is room for all, our family bond is elastic and stretches and expands, and always a hearty well come is given to every new member.
 Older Sisters let us hear from you often. We do not want to miss any of your bright, cheery and helpful letters
 l think there has been a unanimous vote that the Brothers in The Corner should remain. Now, boys (eXcuse that utle), we expect much of you, and, above all, we wish you to win the respect and vote of those who opposed you. Why. Brothers, you are not only helpful. but entertaining at the picnics and good times, but we do like your letters in The Corner. So write often, that we may know your opinion re- garding the questions preached by us in The Corner.
 Thanksgiving day is at hand. Many of us regard it as a festive day, and so it IS; but older people regard it also as a day. 10 give thanks for Our Fathers guidance throughout the year.
 Many changes have been wrought in many families. Worries and trou- bles have come to many, for it has been a disappointing year, in New England regarding crops, although they have done well elsewhere. Then death has entered many homes, and hearts are sad and aching because a link in the family chain has been broken and some dear one has gone to the Eternal Home. Yet, no matter what has be- ralIen us, every one has cause for thankfulness on this day. Thanks that though many losses have been sustain ed. some things remain.
 Thanks for the guiding hand that has sustained us and given us strength and courage to persevere and rise above our troubles while endeavoring to meet the need of the day. Thanks Tor health. Thanks to Him by those whose plans have been so frustrated that they know not which way to turn, for pointing out ways and means and enabling one to begin anew, and if again and again we fail, for strength and patience to enable us to try and try again and again until one meets with success. Thanks to Him for sym pathy. strength, grace and healing power by those who are broken down with grief and sorrow
 Remember, dear friends and Sisters that the transition of our dear ones is their gain, so let us .on this day be glad for them, and instead of spending the day by giving up to our grief and sorrow. let us comfort ourselves by re- calling memories of the sayings and doings ofathe dear absent ones on such days. Then we shall feel their infiu- ence and they will seem near and not lar away. Also in endeavoring to cheer | and help others We will be helped our | selves.
 It seems to me that the greatest cause for thankfulness is the promise
 given us by our Heavenly Father that l If we endeavor to live alright, that
 when our life work is finished we shal 1oln those who have gone on before | never more to be parted.
 Let. our hearts on this particular l day be full of thankfulness to tho
 Maker and Giver of all things and lei
 us endeavor to make the family re.
 union one of joy and happiness. 1 Let it be never-to- o-be- forgotten da, l because wa have extended our love
 cheer and kindness to everyone arounf us.
 l I wish you all a happy, peaceful anC
 a pleasant Thanksgiving.
 DIANA.
