RICHARD C. CHEENY
FATALLY INJURED
SUPREME SACRIFICE
MADE FOR COUNTRY
Family Receives Only Brief Notice
of Death of Their
Only Son

Mr.. and Mrs. C. C. Cheeny Of Leroy
received the sad intelligence Tuesday
noon of the death of their only son,
Richard C. Cheeny, which occurred in
France on Nov. 3, the result of in
juries received in action. The tidings
were conveyed briefly in letter from
a nurse in Base hospital 80, and gave
no other details. 1t appears that a
telegram from the war department
had been sent, but miscarried to an
other Leroy, in Lake county, o.
The deceased enlisted on Dec. 9 of
last year at Columbus, O., in the I'd
Regt. Heavy Motor Ordnance, prev
ious to which he had been associated
with his father in the automobile busi-
ness at Medina.
He was born in Leroy, April l,
1892, being in his twenty-seventh year
at the time of his death. He re-
ceived his early education in the Le-
roy schools, later taking a two-years'
course at Wooster university, and
still later graduating from Case
school, Cleveland. His preparation
had been for a career in electrical en-
gineering.
In his army service he was at first
Ord. Sergeant, and promoted in June
to Top Sergeant. These positions en-
tailed no particular danger, and a
few months ago, at his personal re-
quest, he was detailed for action at
the front.
Richard C. Cheeny was well-known
to Medina people, who will remember
him for his happy disposition and his
energetic application to business.

CLARENCE RICHARD
INJURED IN ACTION

A letter received Monday night by
|. Fl. Rickard, from his son Clarence,
who has been with the United States
fighting forces in France, stated that
the latter had been confined in hos
pital since Oct. 23, the result of in
juries received in action from explod-
ing shrapnel, the left leg being brok-
en-, the right one severely injured, and
the left shoulder blade fractured.
According to Mr.. Rickard the in
jury to his left limb is the more SER
ious, although the attending surgeon
was of the opinion that he would not
be permanently crippled. He was
struck by eight different sections .of
shrapnel. The letter did not state
the circumstances under which the
wounds were received, nor MIR. Rick
ards location at the time. 81

the autumn of the year in praise and
Thanksgiving to Almighty God for His
many blessings and mercies to us as
4 nation, With this Thanksgiving our
gratitude to the giver Of every good
and perfect gift should be hearty and
shontaheous.
With a future before US OF marvel
GUS prosperity we approach Thanks
giving Day. is there anything fol
which we should be thankful? We
should be thankful that there is a
God Of justice and right, and that
he is our God. That he is the Goo
that never fails. Kingdoms may rise
and fall, but God is the refuge OF
his people andsin Him do we trust
Therefore, we will not fear, evel
bearing in mind the struggle
of the past four years. God in his
providential goodness and mercy has
been unfolding To the world, the plar
of the ages. We ought to be thank
full that he has spared us another
year; we might have been called into
his presence, as many millions o1
others have been, to give an account
Of our stewardship.
We have been permitted to come
to another Thanksgiving time; le
Eus make it real Thanksgiving Day
We have so many things to be thank

good thing which the Lord thy God
hath given unto thee and thy house" |"
Notwithstanding the sad conditions
caused by the great war, we AZ a
people can approach our Thanksgiv-
ing Day with many reasons for sin
cere, heartfelt gratitude.
The Psalmist tells us ut is good
thing to give thanks to the Lord. II
those at the head Of our nation feel
it is a good thing for the nation to
have one day in the year on which
the people can give thanks to God,
how much more should the individual
feel his need of observing one day
when he can balance up the blessings
and adversities and see how gracious
God has been To him.
Z True it is that many homes have
been saddened by the results of the
war an1 tile terrible seIidefnic which
has been throughout the land. but let
us remember the blessings also. The
awful struggle between nations has
ceased, God has given us q more
bountiful harvest than the preced-
ing year, and the curse Of alcohol Is
to be put out Of our state. Last

The Passion Of Praise
Psa. 116:13


Surely the words of the sacred writ
er stir US when he says, deep calleth
unto deep" He who cannot find ex-
preston in words of gratitude for
Gods abundant goodness and long
suffering is indeed thankless soul.
He who does not rejoice in the ma
jestic march of truth and justice is a
passionless soul. He who cannot see
in the glorious spirit Of this hour a
token of glorious triumph for right
eousness is visionless soul. There
are not many such.
Man is capable of praise. The
spirit of thanksgiving is abroad. The
catastrophe of the world war swept
over US the proud and iniquitious
forces of selfshness, incarnated in
men, wrought dire havoc in human
life and property, but the sons OF
freedom and humanity's rights, gave
themselves in defense of honor, jus.
tice and manhood and the hand Of
God turned back the stubborn foe.
"What shall we render unto the
Lord for all his benefits to us? W.
will take the cup of Salvation" Tht
passion of praise is the result of thu
recognition, acceptance and practice
of the life Of God in the soul.
The manifestations Of life are man.
and. varied. The life of man find
expression in action, in plan, in pur
pose, in achievement. The product
of art and science and industry ar
the evidences of life. Truth, honor
love, justice, righteousness, are no
mere abstract forms of life, the,
glow with warmth Of heart, with fir
of imagination, with the fadeless hue
4 of mans soul; they find expression
i through eye, and lip, and hand. III

That the children rose in these mod

And have taken part in this great

Meaning Of Personal Blessing

make Joyful noise unto God, all we
lands. ."-Ps. 66:1.
That is what Thanksgiving means
this year--a joyful sound Of praise TO
God from out the Nation and the
lands. 1t is the sound of jubilation.
OF all the years we have expert
enced, verify, this is the one, when in
neither public speech nor printed page
should we give prominence to person
al blessing OF private gain. Have
we been in health, others just as good
and dear to the Heavenly Father have
been in sickness and in wounds. Have
we been prospered in basket and in
store, others just as good have lost
their all and have suffered the pangs
of cruel hunger.
We have learned the real meaning
of personal blessing; namely, that we
may be a blessing. We have learned
the deep significance Of private gain;
| namely, that we may walk the road
that leads down from the Jerusalem
of every land TO it's Jerecho, in COM
pany with the Good Samaritan, who
walked it in company with his dis
ciples, twenty centuries ago.
/ We are thankful that we are re-
turning (for our prayers and tears,
our hopes and fears have been one
with our. Allies) from the trench,
from the rain and the mud-in out
of the darkness and privation-and
] from the brutality Of the prison camp
and the long, long night of nameless
4 horrors.
s We are joyful for the new fire
and glow in the stars Of freedom ano
democracy, and for autocracy un-
4 horsed.
q We are thankful for the Diplomat
i'm The White House; that the profes;
