NATION HAS BEEN BLESSED
Multitude of Reasons Why This Year
Gratitude Should Be Widespread
and Fervent.

II is one of the frailties of human
nature that when all is going wen with
US we are apt to be thankless. But
when peril is imminent, when danger
or death threatens our loved ones, how
quickly and instinctively prayer rises
to the lips and how grateful tho
heart returns thanks when the crisis
is passed. So in other years Thanks
giving has been too frequently APP
preached with a thoughtless spirit as
differing no whit from the years that
have gone. Not so today when a COM
mon impulse ascribes a tangible cause
for thankfulness that alone among
the great nations. we have been spared
the horror or the menace of the world
war. that we have been chosen as The
custodians Of civilization. the one
hope of despairing nations for a return
to sanity and peace.
For 1t is not alone that death and
destruction have passed us by, but
that, under Providence and out of his
bounty, we have been enabled TO miti-
gate the suffering of the wounded, to
succor the starving and help the help
less More than this, too, that. as we
have kept the light of liberty flaming
for the emancipation of mankind from
ancient thralls. today we are priv
ileged TO keep alive the vestal fires on
the altar Of peace. Thus honored
above all peoples. held from harm,
blessed with natures abundance. and
constituted the guardians and ex-
ponents of progress amid an almost
world-engulfng tide of reaction. we
are thrice blessed and should be thrice
thankful.
