children was there The good deacon's
voice trembled with Joy as he asked the
blessing and poured out his thanks before
God.
"But you know, father" said Thomas
Phipps, slyly, there are several OF us
who couldn't possibly have come if it
hadn't been for those automobiles that
you hate so.'
The deacon ahemmed, and bristled a
little, but in the face of the loud merri-
ment which greeted this perfectly true
reminder, his few rather growing remarks
could not be heard.
"You know there really isn't much
danger from automobiles nowadays,
father" proceeded Thomas Phipps Dip
lomatically. 1.-The chauffeurs are better
taught than they used to be, the machines
can be stopped more easily-oh, in every
way they are improved"
"Improvedp shouted the deacon, I'M
able TO restrain himself longer. "You
can't pick up paper without readin'
about some shockin' accident through
carelessly driven automobiles. Improved |!
They are inventions OF the evil one HIM
self. You can't tell me read the pa
pers."
"Wait minute, father I" laughed
Thomas, amid the eager looks OF all the
others, who were evidently full OF sup
pressed excitement. "We-well-we-
we feel as though we all wanted to see
more of you and mother than we have
seen lately, but we don't feel safe 10 have
you travelling around on the cars any
more. Your horses can't take you as faras
most OF US live, so we have dubbed TO-
gether and have bought you the strongest
and handsomest limousine car that we
could find. We have put sum at in
terest in the bank TO pay for the keeping
OF it, and we have had Job taught how to
run it. You know he has been away a
good many afternoons. Well, he has
been learning how 10 run car. You can
trust him, and now you and mother can
heat a big soapstone and climb into your
limousine and some and see us all, and
we expect you 10 do it. Now what do
you say to that, father ?"
What could the old man say
He turned red, stammered, looked at
his wife, who was. smiling significantly,
and then had the grace TO accept and
thank his children for their munificent gift.
All OF Deacon Phipps' neighbors laugh
little when they see him riding by in
his splendid automobile. But they are
wise enough 10 sober up when they catch
his eye.

In The Spirit OF Thanksgiving.

Have you counted your blessings and
are you truly thankful? ?
Or are you one ofthe army ofungrateiul
who each year declare they "have nothing
to be thankful for ?" There isn't a wo-
man living, or a man, who has nothing
to be thankful for
Those who protest against fate. who
say theirs is hard life, void OF all beauty,
comfort, cheer or anything whatsoever to
give thanks for, are wrong with the world.
Something is the matter they need re-
adjustment and different point OF view.
The peeviSh, dissatisfied woman who
allows herself to be unhappy because she
does not possess as much OF this worlds
goods as her neighbor. and then says she
has nothing to be thankful for, has only
10 90 into city hospital and there she
willsee many reasons for her own thanks
giving.
You mothers who have healthy chill
dren, strong OF body and straight OF limb,
may be thankful that your little ones are
not compelled to inhabit home for in
durable cripples.
You fathers who have kind, gentle
wives and well-bred children may be
thankful that you are not married to a
shrew, a woman who neglects her home,
children, and makes her husbands life
unbearable.
Every one Of you Gu be thankful Tor
the sunshine, t.!e RAIN, the beauty OF the
hills and fields. the fruits OF the earth
that will appcase your hunger, the clolli-
ing that keeps you warm. and, above all,
for the roof that covers you. Many there
are, you know, that have not these bless
ings. The blind cannot see the sunshine
or the beauties OF nature the poverty
stricken cannot enjoy The fruits OF the
earth and warm clothing; the homeless
have no roof-tree 10 shelter them, and the
cripples cannot feel the softly falling rain.
Are you, then, making the world about
you more livable and Iovable for some
poor, dishearened mortal? Or are you
in your seliishness making the world
bleak and cold and nhospitable for those
about you
You can do something 10 help The un-
fortunate ones TO be thankful. Perhaps
you cannot give bountifully supplied
basket OF provisions TO your poor neigh
Dor, but you can send her plate OF bis
cults or call upon her and cheer her up a
bit. You can write cheerful letter 10 a
shut-in or take her bright bunch OF
posies or a basket OF fruit. Flowers and
fruit are always welcomed at the hos
pitals; but if you take them there your
self, adding the brightness Of your pres
ence. they will be doubtly welcome.
Dc not lei The day pass without per-
forming some act OF kindness or charity,
Tightening some burden or making the
heart Of some sad friend sing joyful
melody.
Be truly thankful for your own bless
ings and dispense blessing wherever
you may.

Old AS The Race.

The idea is prevalent in the United
States that our Thanksgiving is peculiarly
an American custom of New England
origin. This is true in part only. The
general observance through many years
of a set day on which TO give thanks TO
Almighty God for his blessings has made
the custom distinctively American but
its origin long antedateS The settlement oi
the western continent, and we must look
elsewhere for it. The idea OF Thanks
giving day goes back to remotest an
tiquity. 1t is part OF natural religion,
and is probably as old as the human race
In written records, we have ample evil
dence that the festival was celebrated il
connection with "the fruits of the earth
by the ancient Egyptians, the Jews. the
Greeks and the Romans. Long before
Luther's revolt from Rome in the six
teenth century it had been observed by
the Christians and after the Reforma-
ton, Thanksgiving days were in frequent
use by the Protestants, especially those
of England.
The festival appears early in Jewish
history, and, as il was connected with
the land and its possession, may have
had Canaanitish prototype. It's cele-
bration was annual, and each festival
continued through seven days. At The
beginning "two vessels OF silver were
carried in ceremoniouS manner to the
temple, one full OF water, the other oi
wine, which were poured al the foot oi
the altar OF burnt offerings, always on the
seventh day Of the festival" Plutarch
describes this ceremonial, which he be-
lieved was feast OF Bacchus. He says
"The Jews celebrate two feasts Of Bac-
chus. In the midst OF the vintage they
spread tables, spread with all manner OF
fruits, and live in tabernacles made es-
pecially of palms and ivy together. A
few days later they kept another festival
which was openly dedicated 10 Bacchus,
for they carried boughs of palms in their
hands. with which they went into the
temple, The Levites going before with
instruments OF music"
Analogous TO the Jewish festival and
possibly borrowed from it was that of
the old Greeks, the Thesmorphia. This
was feast to Demeter, the goddess Of
the harvest. II lasted nine days and
consisted Of sacrifices Of the products Of
the soil with oblations OF "wine, milk
and honey" Theocritus refers to it in
the Seventh ldYll," where Simichidas
says: Nov, this is our way TO the Thai
ysia; for our friends, in sooth, are max
ing feast TO Demeter OF the beautiful
robe, offering the first fruits Of their
abundance, since for them, in bounteous
manner, the goddess has piled the thresh-
ing floor with barley"

Gratitude For Daily Blessings.

Gratitude is word that comprehends
the happiness OF the human race. II turns
the heart toward the Fountain CT All Good
and so makes possible greater receptivity
and greater Joy. Without it even glo-
ries OF heaven could not confer happiness,
and all the sweet amenities OF life would
fail. With il the humbleSt home may be
blest with angel visits, and one step up
ward from the depths of grief may be
fraught with new-found Joy.
Bnt shall we be grateful for the mere
incidents of life and forget TO be supreme
ly grateful for life itself? We murmur so
much at the conditions of life, and on a
reluctant concession we admit that this is
better thar that, and so we express our
feeble thanks-praising the beauty OF a
single leaf while murmuring at the tree
that bore it.
Life is a wonderful gift-the most Won
derful and the most blessed gift that the
Infinite God could plan for the objects OF
his love. We have hardly begun to learn
how great il is, how great can be. Be-
ginning at birth, and through childhood,
youth and age, it stretches out into the
realms OF Eternity-ever growing vaster
and yet more vast in its approximation OF
limitless possibilities. If you had not
been born you would never have known
lfe-the sum of all blessings.
The unqualified acceptance OF life, with
all its mystery and pain, all its labor and
WEAKNESS, and yet all its sweetness and
Joy, and all its latent potentiality-that is
and forever must be the basis oftrue graf
itude, the one great theme for thanks.
Unless you are grateful for life itself you
cannot be truly glad for anything that life
contains. But being grateful for life itself
adds tinge OF celestial glory TO every
simple blessing and makes Today akin TO
the vast Forever.
