anticipation. and it had been crowned
by a satisfactory Halloween revel, but

Thanksgiving

Having Kved more than a half cen
tury in America, a descendant Of the
early settlers, and having given to my
children the message of hope received
from my parents, | am qualified to
express publicly a word Of thanksgiv-
Ing, says correspondent of the New
York Evening Post. Inseparable in my
mind are our Father, my country, my
home, my neighbor. Thus apply:
"The Lord is my Shepherd; | shall
not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures; he leadeth me beside the still
waters.
He restOreth my soul; he leadeth me
In the paths Of righteousness for his
names sake.
Yea, though | walk in the valley OF
the shadow of death, l will fear no
evil, for thou art with me; thy rod and
thy STAFF they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in
the presence of mine enemies; thou
anointest my head with oil; my cup
runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy shall fol-
low me all the days of my life, and
viii dwell in the house Of the Lord
forever"
And America. like the good wife In
Proverbs, 'shall do me good and not
evil all the days Of my life"
My country, 'tis Of thee
Sweet land OF liberty.
OF thee / sing.
Here more than elsewhere on earth /
is practiced that sum Of knowledge,
Love one another"
America. thank, love. l serve thee.
Thy honor is mine My best, my all,
are thine.

What could the mother do? She
cast around in her mind-a mothers

the mind of a mere being who is not a
mother-for something with which to
glorify Thanksgiving to her child.
OF course she finally dug up the story
Of the sufferings and triumphs of the

through the forest and through the
hearts of these pioneer folk when they
realized that God had so prospered
their hard, hard work that there was
food enough to last them during the
coming winter.
When the mother pictured the log

full of grain. Little Boy said. "Oh. I'm
