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
it's helping from the amply filled
boards of the American home. These
two attributes of the American people
fully express the secret of America 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.A
The fatherhOod of God and the
brotherhood of man-theSe were the
leading conceptions of the Pilgrim Fa-
theirs. They are the leading concep-
tons 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 I'M
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 a ma
ton whose one aim is to exalt the
ends of human liberty, to extend hui
man democracy and to exalt the ideals
of human equality. AS this nation
touches the world at large it does so
through it's leading national concep-
tons, and only when these are vitality
assailed can it take up arms for it's
own defense. It 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
thanks is a day of pure and unadul-
terated Americanism, into which no
alien sentiment can possibly enter
Hence it 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 it's 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.

Peace Ambassadors.

General Mangin possesses a vein OF
sardonic humor. When, in the autumn
of 1916, he had helped to undo in a
few days the work for which the
crown prince during eight months had
sacrificed the flower of the kaiser's
army, at Verdun, Germany launched
a peace offensive. Reviewing his men
one day, Mangin eyed them over and
remarked with a grim smile, "Ah,
you're the sort of peace ambassadors
the republic wants"

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
4 nation. That custom we can follow
now, even in the midst of the tragedy
of world shaken by War and immeas-
I,rable disaster, in the midst of sorrow
and great peril.

OF existence can QOUDL IudI
l-G&N1 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
ten 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
bounds of the earth. The curse of au-
tOcracy, the curse of blasphemOuS
assumption that God is on the side of
the strongest battaliOns, the curse OF
Gebauchery of human ideals and hui
man aspirations, the curse of the es-
adjustment 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 it's all
on the altar, realizing that sacrifice
is the noblest virtue of a nation.
Hence, while exuberance may not
abound, the spirit of thanksgiving is
filled with praise over the mighty
manner in which the mind of the AL
mighty is being made clear in the
movements of the times; with the
United States playing a leading part
i'm its impressive unfolding.
