TO be grateful is defined as having a
due sense Of benefits received. The
word grateful is close kin to the wore
agreeable So that gratitude may be
said to be our sense of pleasure in or
satisfaction with benefits received
which are agreeable to us. Much Of

things have gone pleasantly with us,

reasons for thanksgiving. So we set

The true Christian ground of
thanksgiving is deeper than any ma

go deeper than what we look upon as

Ground for Thanksgiving.
'In all these things we are in dam
ger Of mistaking our satisfaction with
things agreeable for true Christian
thanksgiving. It is worth while to
study deeply into our spiritual states
that We may render unto God the graf

Our ultimate ground Of thanksgiv-
