Things. TO Be THANKFUL For.


The sentiment Of gratitude is one
that there Is small risk of finding too
much in evidence It is not possible
to grow from childhood to manhood
or womanhood without implicit de-
pendence upon others, without in
curing obligations and running deep
ly into debt--first of all to the God
who made US, then to our parents who
safeguarded our helpless infancy then
to the friends who assisted US ~ our
way. It is impossible for us to make
adequate repayment or return for all
these benefits. What has been done
for us in our creation and our sps
tenance, in all the generous provision
Of love and of sympathy tAat sur
rounds us, is beyond recl4nins o.
valuation-it is without money ant
without price. But we may at 1easi
from time to time express our graft
tude to the Giver Of all good gifts. WI
may occasionally voice our thankful
ness that we are alive and that oul
plain duty lies before us, and thH'
there is useful work to ocupy oul
hearts and souls and senses. Abovi
all, there is the great gift of love-th'
love that transfgures life and make
1t worth while to keep on trying Il
puzzle out the riddle of existence-th'
love that fills the universe and. ae

And helps to fill the house with noise;
