Heart throbs, persistent anxiety, con-
tinuous tempering of the spirit to sac
nfice, Americans know this autumn
as they never have known them before,
Gayety is a discordant note. Is Thanks
giving a d%iscordant note also? The de-
vout soul gives thanks even out of the
deepest mourning for the strength that
bears and suffers. Emerson says in
his Essay on Eloquence:
l have heard 1t reported of an elo-
Quent preacher \ \ n that, on
occasions OF death or tragic disaster,
which overspread the congregation
with gloom, he assembled the pulpit
with more than his usual alacrity, and
turning to his favorite lessons of devout
ard jubilant thankfulness-"Let as
praise the Lordu-carried audience,
mourners and mourning along with
him and swept away all the impefti-
hence of private sorrow with his h0san-
nahs and songs of praise.
Flooded with the same feeling,
Woodrow Wilson, President Of the
United States, must have turned to the
writing of his Thanksgiving day Proc
lamation. He realizes as WI all realize
that this November Is different from
all others. "We can see the great bless
ings God has bestowed upon US, bless
ings that are better than mere peace of
mind and prosperity of enterprise, +"
and then:
We have been given the opportunity
to serve mankind as we nee served
ourselves in the great day of our Dec
laration of Independence by taking up
arms against q tyranny that threatened
to master and debase men every where
demanding for all the nations of the
world what we then demanded and OBJ
tanned for ourselves.
In this day of the revelation of our
duty not only to defend our rights as
a nation. but to defend also the rights
of free men throughout the world,
there has been vouchsafed us 10 full
and inspiring measure the resolution
and spirit of united action. We have
been brought to one mind and purpose.
IA LCW lkOL vi 1Oa46C Al1
common action has been revealed In
US.
The spiritual is more significant than
the material, it demanded first place.
But the President also notes that 1--WE
have, II we but observe a reasonable
and practical economy, abundance
with which to supply the needs Of those
associated with us as well as our own.
The great duties of a e day awaken
a new and greater national spirit IN US.
We shall never again be divided or
wonder what stuff we are made Of"
Therefore is it fitting that we give
thanks on November 20, to Him who
is the Giver o fall things, spiritual and
material. Therefore we shall s'cease
upon that day from our ordinary oc-
cupations." Therefore, Tin our several
homes and places of worship" we shall
offer voiced gratitude for all we enjoy,
even the opportunity of sacrifice. The
spirit of the President is the spirit of
the Nation. Strenuousness and devout-
ness In the history of nations have al
ways gone hand In hand, forward to
the highest triumphs.-Brooklyn Ea-
