These countries await the stimulus OF

4 AAS ~ NIlAlEU News,
Ny Dear Brother Martin; Yours
to hand asking for the news. What
with the prestilence that prevails in

that have come in its wake, and the
sore distress of some of our peonIe
whose boys have "passen on" in tn,
fearful world-war "over there, we
might feel like indulging exclusively
IN m.series, but there is more
excellent way, at is verg meet and
right and our bounden duty, that we
should at all times, and in all Places
and for all things, give thanks to the
Great Father Of US all.
Let Us therefore begin with the
great Thanksgiving Service which we
had in our church this year. The
pews were full of praiseful people.
1t was union service in which all
the Greenwood pastors participated,
but from Start to finish it was the
regular service as we have it in
% ""nual of Worship, and printed
leaflets were provided for those not
A~.mnIar with the ritual.
Mrs. Prosser presided at the organ
(and We all know that she knows
how'll and the combined choirs led
in the singing. "Ecce guam bonum,"
as dear old Percy W. would say
Cur good Brother Hall of the
Methodist Church delivered the
message and, if slang were at all
permissible, we would be tempted
to say that he got there with both
feet" But it is of course more in
keeping with the dignified character
of The Church News and its rev.
erend Editor to say that he preached
an earnest, interesting, instructive,
eloquent and appropriate sermon.
Everybody said so. And then, there
was a real, sure-enough offering for
the benevolent work of the Kings |
Daughters.
The influenza has been and still is
and, rs we fear, will be for some time
great drawback to the work of the
parish, but it didn't prevent the Yes
try from making a handsome and
generous addition to the parsons sal |
ary; and it was done, Mr.. Editor, in
the most gracious way imaginable.
These Delta people know how to do Il
nice thing in a nice way. 1t is .
great art and there are not few
"philanthropists" who ought to study
it.
Thanksgiving naturally suggests
Turkey. Not Turkey in Europe or
Asia but turkey here and now, done
up brown and on the dinner table,
But we hadn't been thinging Of
