Sermon Delivered by
Rev. ". B. Curtis

on this occasion to the Children's
Home at Jacksonville.
IL gives US pleasure to reproduce
herewith the Thanksgiving sermon
OF Rev. Curtis, which follows:
Ephesians $500 Giving thanks al
ways for all things unto God and the
rather in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ"
we are here assembled in accord
snce with the proclamation OF the
PRESIDENT and the civil authorities, APP
pointing this day as day of national
thanksgiving to Almighty God for the
great benefits we have received at His
hands during the year. Permit me to
enumerate briefly, by no means all, but
at least several, of the many great
blessings of which the people of this
great nation are the recipients and
for which we should at this time ex-
press our gratitude.
As in former years, so in this pres
ent year, our harvests have been
bountiful. Today. the United States
OF America is both ready and willing
TO place food into the outstretched
hand of needy Europe. We should
thank God that by His help we are in
position to be of such service to
humanity.
| As result Of our participation in
the war of the nations, we have gained
a clearer understanding of our nation
al ideals. Our conception of indie
pendence, of freedom, of liberty, o.
democracy, which we had gained for
ourselves by former wars, we have
nourished in this war; and we now
realize that this LIBERTY should be
g legacy of this war to all the ma
tons upon earth.
How grateful we should be for the
splendid morale of our soldiery and
our citizenry for the effect upon our
allies which this morale had; for
the agencies which successfully kept
this morale so high! How grateful we
should be for the spirit with which
the army at home gave of their time
and wealth and with which SO many
of our citizens have borne the hard
ships and sufferings that come in the
path Of war.
When we think of our nations ser
vice flag and of the golden stars up,
on it, we should offer things % God
for our faith in, immortality-for
those who have gone to enrich His
beaverton the wonderful examples
left us by those who laid down their
lives for home and country and hu
manity, a cause for which 1t is al
ways worthy to die.
And now | mention that which you
all have in mind-Gods great gift of
Victory to the cause of human liberty,
Please note that | speak of this vic
tory as a gift from God to the Allies.
