THANKSGIVING.

From the time Of the landing Of the Pilgrim
Fathers, Americans have been accustomed to set
aside one day in the year wherein to review the
past year and take stock of the dealings of Prov
idence with US as a people.
What was at first the spontaneous expression
Of grateful hearts soon became a custom, and as
the years sped this custom became fixed, until to-
day it assumes the sacTeGness of a permanent in
s~tl.ution.
This season is again with US. The fruits Of
the broad acres Of our fair domain have been
gathered in. The warehouses and g%raneries are
fairly bursting WITH their contents and prosperity
sets a guest at almost every fireside.
Our beloved Presider 7Nodrow Wilson and
the Governors OF the vario have designat-
ed the day Thursday, No a. o0th, ON which
ne people shall express H. : '~o.1ntiful Creator
their gratitude for these i ngs.
and to the many posi- md material bless
.ngs which have been ours : c is added on this
occasion the especial bless : 70 as a people have
escaped the madness that 800 fallen as a blight
On cur peighbors and kins n across the waters.
The magnitude Of that blessing we cannot at this
time begin to estimate.
But while we have these palpable blessings for
which to be thankful, We have other things for
which to express our gratitude, and these ante
date and underlle our present happiness and
prosperity, our peace and safety. We have to be
thankful that back in the days when our nation
was belng born, a land Of heroes, than whom the
> 0Tlu has lieFei produced greater, had impressed
upon Their hearts to lay the foundations of that
nation upon the only possible true and lasting
base-tne tatherhood Of an on1nipotent God and
the brotherhood OF 1naf.
And we have to be thankful that all down the
years since that time there have been heroic souls
worthy sons of noble sires-who have never
ceased to call to us with clarion voice to watch
and preserve the old landmarks, to plant our feet
lroi the everlasting rock and stand firm. g
And over and above all else, we have to be
thankful that a meTciful God has sounded the
ncaGts and lives OF the people Of this nation that
We are enabled to look above and beyond self and
see for ourselves the great principles Of eternal
truth and justice that must ultimately rule the
whole earth; that we are enabled to grasp the
truth that an ill., II TO ourselves, and that a kind
ness to our fellows calls down q benediction upon
our own heads.
So that the one supreme blessing for which
should at this season return thanks, is the fact
that our God has enabled us as a people to know
do the RIGHT.
And let our prayer be-, that it may ever be
with this people.

TALK THAT HURTS.

The most insidious attack that can be made
on the character of a person is that sneaklng way
of spreading a story on the authority OF another
and at the same time protesting not to be be-
lieve it yourself.
People should learn not to believe these things
which men or women will not say and take the re-
snonsiblity of saving. When words are spoken
against any one by irresponsible, thoughtless peo-
ple, it is the duty of those of us who try to be TAR,
to discount what is said until some PROOF IS act
nally given or some responsible person accepts the
authorship of the story.
Before repeating anything that is doubtful
learn who the author is and nine times out or lel
after learning who started the ruraor lying f1rst
you will keep your mouth shut. Be careful
what you say, and you may find that you have
some friends left when you finish a busy career.
