FRIENDS GUESTS At
ELI HANKS HOME
OCCASION WAS FIFTY NINTH
BIRTHDAY OF MRS. HANKS.
FIFTY PRESENT

The Banner is in receipt of very
nice account of the birthday gathering
held at the home of Mrs. Eli Hanks
last Thursday written by Charles
Johnson. An original poem read on
the occasion accompanies the article.
Here they are:
On November 18 about fifty of the
friends of Mrs. Eli Hanks assembled
at her home. south of the city, to
celebrate her ffty-ninth birthday.
Early in the forenoon the company
began to arrive and it was well af-
ter midday that the last guests came.
About one o'clock the announcement
was made that dinner was ready. The
neighborhood knows the meaning of
that expression when made at the
Hanks home. Over-ruling her oppos-
ition the company demanded that on
this occasion the guest of honor
should be waited upon, and led her to
the first table.
At the close of the meal a well Sc
lected signet ring was presented to
Mrs. Hanks in token of the perfect
circle of friendship by which she was
surrounded. A shower of about fifty
postal cards gave further evidence of
personal good will. Mrs. Hanks in
her brief but hearty way, expressed
her gratitude for the efforts of her
friends, who in return wished her
many more such opportunities.
Following the dinner well arrang-
ed program opened by music by
"Wid" Howe was given. ovid" has

at such meetings as this. Mrs. Spen-
Ger Cowles very clearly and express

"Silver Threads Among the Gold,"
and later responded to the wishes Of
the company and sang one verse in
German, of the German national an

tional way, enlivened the company
with her recitation, "Poor Doodles,"

Thanksgiving Day
By ROBERT BRIDGES

We give thee thanks, Lord,
Not for armed legions marching in their
might,
Not for the glory of the well earned fight
Where brave men say their brothers,
also brave,
But for the millions of thy who work
And do thy tasks with joy and never shirk
And deem the idle man burdened slave.
For these, o Lord, our thanks!
We give thee thanks o Lord,
Not for the turrets of our men-of-war
The monstrous guns and deadly steel they
pour
To crush our foes and make them bow the
knee,
But for the homely sailors of thy deep,
The treless fisher folk who Danish sleep
And lure living from the miser sea.
For these, o Lord our thanks
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1915-11-24

We give thee thanks, o Lord,
Not for the mighty men who pile up gold,
Not for the phantom millions bought and
sold
And all the arrogance of pomp and greed,
But for the pioneers who plow the field,
Make deserts blossom and the mountain
yield
Its hidden treasures for mans daily need.
For these, o Lord, our thanks!
We give thee thanks, o Lord,
Not for the palaces that wealth has grown,
Where ease is worshipped, duty dimly
known
And Pleasure leads her dance the flowery
way,
But for the quiet homes where love is
queen
And life is more than baubles, touched and
seen,
And old folks bless US and dear children
play
For these, o Lord our thanks!
