Y re CELEBRATE that great
NV holiday. Thanksgiving, at
" this season. In the gay
round Of pleasures the day
always brings, perhaps not n of us
will stop a moment and seriously look
back over the past year, now rapidly
drawing to q close. Many Of us-in
fact, all Of us-should pause a moment
and quietly review the past months.
Perhaps these months brought us
many trials, but they also brought US
many blessings. 1t is the blessings we
should itemize and magnify and for
get the crosses We may sigh dis
%contentedly and say. well, last year l
had many more reasons to be thank
full than l have this year." but II we
are fair and honest with ourselves we
will have to admit that, even II
troubles came our way, the blessings
that followed them were far greater
in number.
Who has not read the story Of that
first Thanksgiving Dayf Fancy a
woman In these times enduring the
hardships and worries those strong
hearted New England pilgrims en-.
dured; and what a wonderful lesson
in un%selfshness they have handed
down to us!
Argue and elaborate as we will on
our burdens, we know fate has been
good to us. Life Is not all sunshine.
If 1t were we would very soon grow
tired of life. DisappOintments, set
backs, Establishments cOme to every
one, and we must expect they will
come to us. Indeed, we have no voice
in the matter. They will come to us
as surely as day follows night but dc
we accept them patiently? That Is
another story.

side Of life. whats the user" they
