THANKSGIVING.


Msuy years ago when the Pilgrims
landed at Plymouth, on Bonded knee
they offered up simple prayers IN
Tbankspiying to the Most High God
for their safe journey across the
water to the land of promised future
happiness and security as well as
liberty 10 pursue life Of liberty and
freedom.
Yesterday in all the sacred ed'fice.
in this country on bendgd knee many
thousands Of people IL this country,
which Las grown and expanded il
many ways since the day Of out
Pilgrim fathers, offered ~ a prayer
Of Thanksgiyi lg for the many sless
ngs that have been bestowed apoa
them personally and on our country
bya Just God.
Our country has been blessed in
wsys tio numerous TO mention at
tins lime. However, there are two
thirgs that the people, as a whole,
must call to mind and be deepl,
thankful, first, that we are now
erjoying an era Of prosperity, and.
second, that We are at eace with al
nations of the world. We must feel
a pang of sorrow for the people OF
the nations across the water that ART
now engaged in terrible bloody con
flict and that our prosperity is due
to this moie than anything else
While we must be thankful, as a ma
tion, for our condition, we must also
be thankful that the conditions on
the other side of The ocean are mol
worse and pray that the bloody strife
now raging there will soon come To-
an end and that The good people
there will again be able to settle dow
to enj ,yment Of life Of peace and
happiness
Individually and pers. nally many
of rs have faced misfortune and adj
versity while others have nj7yed
prosperity and happiness, yet in all
when we stop to thiuk there have
been many blessings bestowed upon
us by good aud jast God ior hich|
we should eli up a prayer ot|
Thanksgiving.
Death and sickness have been inI
our midst aad cast gloom over the
freside, yet all for good purpose inI
the wisdom Of the Heavenly Father.
Great though oar sorrows may he
We must bow to the viii Of the dis
penser OF all that Is good in thi.
world.
In our country, our people are
happy, conddions are better thar
ever before, we are mascbiag a head
10 the van guard of proaiess and
prosperity for ali OF wliga we are
and should be deeply grateful and
thankful.
