There is less luck in it than golf and more science than in billiards. It is a mans game with ancient lineage and tenacious demo- cratic nature.

Thanksgiving

These hardships laid the foundation for sturdy race and for alone, we ought be thankful

 We thankful that have been spared the devastation of which stalks through Europe, scattering, wide spread, than the world had known. We have been spared the plague and most of us have had loved spared Taking al we have never had greater be thankful
 Thanksgiving is a day for rejoicing like Christmas. IT is day of contemplation and sats- faction It is time for the gathering of strength of character and of preparation for another year The harvests have been laid by come to time for meditation and planning.
 Thankfulness is frame of mind rather than result of fortuitous Many of may be thankful for very little many find our blessings burdensome even galling. In many poverty stricken homes this will be day of satis- faction and of happiness. while in many homes which envied by the unknowing, it will be a day of bitterness and gloom.
 There is another thing that would like to speak of. is to construed as a com plant against Providence which believe orders all things for good. Our earthly sufferings at the worst small by comparison as most of us will realize in after years. But there some things that do not quite fair. Preachers and friends cannot tell that we will under stand it, that sufferings for own good and that have been treated fairly. The sufferer must feel within himself that his chastisement is for his own good The words Of outsiders a empty the words Eiiphaz and Ehu.
 We have in mind the concrete case of poor who Phoenix a few years ago that the life of her invalid daughter might be prolonged She without money but she labored by washing and hard housework keep herself housed within mean hovel and provide simple comforts for the sick girl The other day that woman had her right arm amputated. She deprived of her fast feeble line of defense.
 And this is Thanksgiving morning. If that is thankful today she is blessed with something that few other people in the world enjoy a some thing within that is proof against the severest and without hope she is buoyed up by strength which fail, her. Few of us have such support
 We present this unpleasant case as additional food for meditation today, which as we have said is day for meditation. We also hope that inquiry will be made into the condition of this that she may have more material reason to be thankful and that others may enjoy that satis- faction which of worthy deed.

 And I have no doubt it's right, To leave about two inches

 And quite the thing to do, And personally I like it
 And no doubt. you do, too. You sometimes feel like laughing
 When yoU see them passing by; And other times you're helpless
