On Thanksgiving Day of 1917 We Have Greater Cause to be Thankful for the Fruits of the Earth and the
 Fulness Thereof Than in Many Previous Years

Redoubled Is our song this Thanks giving day to our Creator who nas blessed us with the best in the lanp, full harvest the wherewithal to Ieeu and clohte our soldier boys!
 Some lines of Whittier's suggest them selves today lines written many years ago for an Autumn Festival, ana which are now fraught with new mean ing and seem especially appropriate TOT Thanksgiving in the year of our Lord' 1917.
 These are the beautiful lines: And we, today admidst our flowers
 And fruits, have come to own again The blessings of the summer hours,
 The early and the latter rain; To see our Fathers hand once more
 Reverse for us the pientenous horn Of autumn, filled and running OCT
 With fruit and flower, and golden
 cornl
 Once more the liberal year laughs out
 Der richer stores than gems or gold Once more with harvest t-song and shout,
 Is natures bloodless triumph told Oh, flavors every year made new!
 Oh, gifts with rain and sunshine sent! The bounty overrun our due,
 The fullness shames our discontent We shut our eyes, the flower blooms on;
 We murmur, but the corn -ears fill; We choose the shadow but the sun
 That casts it shines behind us still. Who murmurs at his lot today?
 Who scorns his native fruit and bloom Or sighs for dainties far away,
 Besides the bounteous board or nome! ,'u Thank heaven, lnsteao' lhal iieei arm
 Can change a rocky soil to gold That brave and generous lives can warm A cline with northern ices cold.

best; it was beautiful in it's promise it was beautiful in it's fruition, and the aftermath has beauty, too, all it's own. Again it comes to mind that on this Thanksgiving day of 1917 we have greater cause for thanksgiving for the fruits of the earth and the fullness thereof than 1 in many previous years the harvest over the seas-alas, how different it is, and
 has been for the past four years from
 our own.
