And Shall We Yet Thank Him?

lne season IL again WIFI us
when, from custom and from
the inner promptings of the
spirit, we are wont to lift CRATE
full hearts to II merciful and
bountiful Creator in thanks and
gratitude for His dealing with
us during the year that is past,
Aud shall we yet thank Him:
Let us see.
At this same season one short
year ago we thanked Him from
full hearts that He had kept us
from the madness that was de-
vastnting our kinsmnn across
the waters. But today we have
beaten the pruning hook into n
sword, and from ocean to ocean
the tramp of armed forces re-
sounds
In view Of the staggering is
sues with which our people are
face TO face, are we 10 content
ourselves with thanking an all
powerful God for life and health
and plonty-material plenty;
Are we to look no further than
the mere creature comforts with
which He has SO bountifully
showered us?
Some may answer, "For what
else should we thank Him? has
not the madness fallen upon us,
tooi Are not our young men
thronging to the sacrifice, and
are not our wives and mothers
and sisters and brothers and
fathers, with bleeding hearts,
helping them on their wayf"

this they dedicated unseliish
lives, for this they fought, and
for this they died, But their
lives and their deaths and their
unseliish sacrifices prevailed
and today that edifice stands

grounded and built on the etern-
al principles that guarantee to
one and all the right to life,
liberty and the pursuit. of hap

But these beneticient princi-
Piles are not all-prcvailing. In
other lands are forces that would
set them al naught and make
of their advocates, serfs and
vaeeals. II is with these forces
that we are now at variance, as

us an inheritance of Freedom
