A Thanksgiving Poem.

Thankful, each morn, for the bright light OF day:
Thankful for interest in work and in play;
Thankful for those who e'er greet me with love;
Thankful for white clouds and blue skies above;
Thankful for raiment and thankful for iood
Thankful for biid-songs. and ilow'rs in the wood
Thankful for showers 10 freshen the earth;
Thankful for sweet sounds Of gleeiul child mirth
Thankful for cen sorrows softening touch;
Thankful for little and thankful for much:
Thankful for snowials, so peaceful and white;
Thankful for moonlight and dark, restful night;
Thankful for laughter and thankful for tears;
Thankful for each OF the lengthening years;
Thankful for all Thou hast given TO me
Heart that can feel deep, and eyes that can see.

Much To Be Thankful For.

Ifever we are tempted TO say though
others have much TO be thankful for, our
lives are hard and our paths are thorny,
LET us stop a minute and see by what
standard we are measuring our blessings.
If we look at a cripple plodding along
with crutches we cannothelp being thank
ful that we have feet which serve us well
and that we can walk and run without so
much as considering the effort. live
see somebody who is barefooted, we may
be thankful for shoes. When the rain
beats on the roof at night we may be
thankful for the house that shelters us.
When the doctor calls next door to see
an invalid who is tossing with fever we
may be thankful that we are well. If
there are flowers on the door bell across
the street we may be thankful that there
are no vacant chairs in our home.

'You vain, conceited bird" said the
turkey, "you are proud OF your looks and

Thanksgiving.

Let US be thankful for the loyal hand
That love held out in welcome to our own,
When love and only love could understand
The need OF touches we had never known.
Let us be thankful for the longing eyes
That gave their secret TO us as they wept,
Yet in return found. with sweet surprise,
Loves kiss upon their lids, and. smiling. slept
And LET US. too. be thankful that the tears
OF sorrow have not all been drained away,
That through them still. for all the coming years
We may look on the dead face OF Today.

In Sunday school in a Northern town
there was one little negro girl in the class.
The teacher asked each girl TO think OF
something that she should be thankful Tor.
Each girl told OF some special blessing
that was hers. When she came TO the
little negro she said
"Now. Sadie, what is your special
blessing 2"
"Dat my face is black an don't have

London, July S.-The Russians have
