silly to permit the idea to enter our minds that the
great war is in some way a punishment visited upon
the nations for their wrongs. That is hardly for US
to Judge. Every b~elligerent calls upon Deity for JUS
LITIGATION, and who are we that We should question
the sincerity Of any Of them?
What We Americans may truly and Justly be thank
ful for is that ourselves, or our fOrefatheTs, were en-
dowed with the spirit to choose the way that has
led to comparative freedom and comparative peace-the
spirit that directed our people westward across the
seas and then across the mountains and plains, to found
a new natOn-the spirit that has made Us measureably
content with our possessions, and tolerant Of differences.
measure from the consequences even of our OWN mis-
doing.
Generally speaking, the tendency to offer thanks to
God for material gains, for abundance of yield, and for
peace, seems a little barbaric-it implies that no thanks
would be due in a famine year or a panic year OF a year
OF war. The spiritual side of Thanksgiving ought chiefly
to be emphasized. There IS grace in poverty, grace
in defeat Humility, not exultatiOn, ought to be the
spirit Of this annual festival. In spite of all we have
done to tempt fate, we are yet spared, perhaps for
some larger work than any that has yet been given in
our charge.
We Americans may justly be thankful for having
the opportunity to serve. We may be thankful that
any little tiniest spark of righteousness or wisdom
which, as a nation, we possess, has been conserved, in
spite of the huge debt We have written up to IN
righteousness and unwiSdOm. We may ask for another
chance, while We grope for truth and now and then
permit our better selves to have expression. But to
assume that in some way we have been chosen as allies
Of the Almighty, chosen for special reward or for special
merit, is to play the fool. Such an attitude is not re-
hgiOus, not worshipful-it Is cheap and silly arrogance,
fit for the ceremonial equipment of an aboriginal medi-
cine-man-

Nor can The Herald become enthusiastic over any
plans that would involve setting the United States up
in the international priesthood as Giver of Light and
world-reformeT. We have infinitely more to gain from
other peoples and nations than we have to offer them.
Our own problems are enough to demand all our at
tentions and energies. If our example IS not enough
to induce Others to follow our leadership, argument viii
not do It. If our friendships, nationally and inter
nationally, are one sided: if our sincerity is doubted:
If our offers Of moral help are spurned, the place to
look for the fundamental trouble is in ourselves, not in
our n~eighbors, the other powers Of earth.
When we pray for our nation, let Us pray for
guidance to enable US to avoid unwarranted interference
in affairs which do not primarily concern US, and for
strength to enable US to manage our own national
affairs wisely and f%OrcefuIly. Let US determine to
avoid alliances, formal or informal, that entail respon-
sibilities outside Of our egitimat sphere. Let US be
careful that We do not PREJUDICE any people or any
nation. Let Us be tOlerabiy sure we are right ourselves,
and then devote ourselves to protecting what we deem,
with our fearfully limited and feaTfully dim human
intelligence, to be those things vital to our national
welfare.
There is nothing to be proud of in our national
history The spirit was given to the fathers TO eStab-
lish the foundations, and such opportunities as never
came to any people before have been ours. Our na-
tiOnal catalog of failureS-mOral, ethical, religious, po-
ItieaL, economics endless. That retibution has been
generally withheld is something to be truly thankful
for.
We may be thankful for the glimpses Of the Spirit
that have been given to our leaders now and then.
We may be thankful for the boundless opportunities
that have been opened to US. But let US beware lest
we take to ourselves uniustly a measure of grace for
having achieved a little Of what we might have achieved.
There is no other element in our national spirit
at this moment so offensive, so likely to lead US into

E We plan Thanksgiving services, De they or
wv a religious nature or not, there IS danger
that we Americans may be led into the
pharisaic frame of mind, Lord, we thank thee we are
not as other men are. The thought Of the European
war is uppermost at this time. We Americans are apt
to try to deceive ourselves into thinking that IN some
way we have deserved TO escape from its horrors: We
mix with our spoken thanks the self qualification that
seems to set ourselves up on a sort OF PEDESTAL or
superiority, as if some merit we deem ourselves to
possess had in some way saved Us from the war.
And when we thank Deity for the vast material
gains and benefits Of this rich and prosperous nation,
we do not forget to make all allowance for our national
industry and brains. There IS smooth self praise IN
much Of the spoken thanks which go up to heaven at
this annual period. We are not a little proud OF the
record we have made, and not averse from rendering
to Deity a catalog Of the excellent things we have
brought about-al to the glory Of God Of course-even
the hundreds Of millions of dollars worth of "war
orders" the record breaking exports, and the flood
Of gold.
It Is Just as well to be frank with ourselves and
with Deity about this business. If we are to praise
and thank God for sparing Us from the wal, that atti-
tude involves a kind of censure for Gods having brought
war down upon Europe and Asia and Africa and the
islands Of the sea. If the b~eligerent nations thank
God for victory, why should they not equally thank
him for defeat? Assuming that the course Of events
in the world is following some sort Of Plan which
mankind cannot comprehend, is it not a trifle preSump-
tuous for mankind to pick and choose the things that
God is to be thanked for and the things he is to be
blamed for?
Above all, let US keep ourselves free from that
attitude Of self assumed superiority which is always
and everywhere offensive to men and perhaps may be
as offensive as it must be Iudicrous to Deity. 1t is
