-sfO eton colonies of the eastern
seaboard has proved the greatest sue
cess In government the world has ever
known. Democracy sits at the tables
of the land today. Brotherhood asks
its helping from the amply filed
boards of the American home. These
two attributes of the American people
fully express the secret of Americas s
success as a nation. The growth of
the nation has been in accord with the
extension of these ideas. They are
both home ideas, and therefore they
are both ideas that express the inner
spirit of the day of thanksgiving.
The fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man-these were the
leading conceptions of the Pilgrim Fa-
thers. They are the leading concep-
tions of the sons of those fathers to-
day. They are the conceptions that
can never be made hackneyed by hypo-
critical use or by designing abuse.
They will stand forth in the genius
and action of the American people un-
til each year shall add praise to praise
in the measure of the fullness of rea-
sons for the giving of thanks.
Peace, provision, protection-these
are the priced possessions of ma
ton whose one aim is to exalt the
ends of human liberty, to extend hu-
man democracy and to exalt the ideals
of human equality. As this nation
touches the world at large it does so
through its leading national concep-
tons, and only when these are vitality
assailed can it take up arms for its
own defense. 1t has the obligation
resting upon it to conserve the true
needs of liberty. and this can be done
only by insisting upon the sacredness
of human rights and human opportu-
mites. Hence the day set aside for
terated Americanism, into which no
alien sentiment can possibly enter
Hence 1t is that every head of the
family in acting in his capacity at
the head of the family board becomes
the priest of the things made precious
in the life of the country and of which
mention is made as thanksgiving
themes of the day. No more can the
nation depart from its lofty mission
and progressive ideals than can the
earth swing away from the solar at
traction. The day of home happiness,
the day of praise, the day of felicity
is sacred and singular day in the
annals of American progress and Amer
lean world Influence

is not as other men, but in greater hui
mllity because he has perhaps been
more greatly blessed than others.
Outside of the many material bless
ings that have come to the American
people during the past year, which are
good in so much as they contribute to
wholesome human happiness, there is
reason for the people of this country
upon this Thanksgiving day to be un-
usually thoughtful concerning their
place in the world, and to remember
how this emlnence has been obtained.
Who can look back and not see the
hand of Providence shaping the des-
tiny of America? This liberty which
is the marvel and the hope of the
world today was set up on these shores
by Godfearing men-the pioneers who
inaugurated this very Thanksgiving
holiday. 1t was for the love of the
service of God that liberty was estab-
| lished in America, and 1t was this lib
erty that has been the basis of our ma.
tionai greatness and which Is to be
the political salvation of the world.
America cannot look back upon its
history without seeing God. and by
taking thought cannot fail to acknowl-
edge It's gratitude for all his benefits
With that stage of our development
passed we are now permitted to enter
upon that new era when America par
F1icipates in abolishing>tyranny and In
justice, ever hateful to God, and to
carry to the oppressed nations OF the
world those principles of liberty
through which our own chief blessings
have come.
This is the supreme service that one
nation can render to another-to safe
guard the liberties of its people. In
this momentous time the burden of our
Thanksgiving this year 1t seems should
be that we are to be chief among the
ministers in working out the Divine
purpose to have all men-Greek and
Barbarian-free.

No Time to Abandon Custom.

1t has long been the honored custom
of our people to turn IN the fruitful
autumn of the year IN praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God for his
many blessings and mercies to us as
nation. That custom we can follow
now, even in the midst of the tragedy
of world shaken by war and immeas-
urable disaster, in the midst of sorrow
and great peril.

In This Life.

We hear much Of love to God. Christ

Christ made much of peace on earth.
Religion is not strange or added
thing. but the inspiration OF the secus
lar life. the breathing of an eternal
spirit through this temporal world.

KTf and sees the mind of the AL

p of existence can doubt that
l-StND out from the cataclysms of
the world war the choice of blessing
or cursing will work out in the victory
Of the good? The old cry, Hath God
forgotten to be gracious?" needs no
longer be voiced. God has not forgot
ter to be gracious. So that, as the
Americans assemble in their churches
on the day set apart for expressing ma
tional gratitude, they will rejoice
above all else that the nation of free
men has adopted as its motto: "Whom
the Lord makes free is free indeed"
Let them rejoice that America is bent
upon proclaiming liberty to the entire
hounds of the earth. The curse of nu-
tocracy, the curse of a blasphemous
assumption that God is on the side of
the strongest battalions. the curse of
debauchery of human ideals and hu-
man aspirations, the curse of the es-
tablishment of force in the place of
purity; of power in the place of peace
this is the cursing that is being
wiped out in blood. The blessing of
world peace and the prevalence of the
spirit of brotherhood and of mutual
advancement for the peoples-such is
the peace that is being wrought out.
The United States has placed its all

is the noblest virtue of a nation.
