Thanksgiving Sunday, the pastor
will take for his morning sermon "The
Songster Who Sings of Thanksgiving"
and in the evening, "a Glorious
Thanksgiving Song-Bless the Lord,
Oh my Soul, and all that is within me
Bless His Holy name"
Thanksgiving must ever be the song
of the heart. Our hearts are at times
not full of thanks, so we have no
songs to sing. Yet there are songs in
the night. What we have not, what
we cannot get, does not make the life
less thankful for what we have receiv-
ed and in measure enjoyed. The spirit
of Thanksgiving needs to be more
widely cultivated. Our rights are al
most first and foremost, so we feel we
do not need to thank anyone We are
all debtors. We are all working on
borrowed capital. We are all indebted
to the past. We have received largely,
literally, generously, from the Giver
OF every good and perfect gift. Let
the heart of thankfulness flow from a
free spontaneous spirit, Let us on the
Lords day meet in some sanctuary
and really and truly from the heart
say with n of old, "They shall abun-
dainty utter the memory of Thy Great
Goodness and shall sing of Thy Right
eousness.'
For the third time this season, AL
fred Foster, the well-known Australian
Lecturer, gave an interesting travel
talk on Through Mexico" in the First
Baptist Church. In spite of the fact
OF the Chamber of Commerce meeting,
the audience filled the house. For an
hour and a half Foster kept his audi
ence in good humor, and with splendid
interest in the travels over Mexico's
! mountains and rolling plains, Visiting
the scenes of Villa, and then to Mexico
City. The various peoples and Gus
toms, the wonderful churches, lovely
homes and wretched novels made it a
wonderfully bright travel. In the clos
ing scene was the famous Bull fight
shown in it's different stages. The au.
dlence was delighted and expressed a
unanimous desire for him to return,
he hopes to come for two MONDAYS in
January, 1920, with his wonderful pic.
lures.

Jim rose and sauntered over to

his fingers through my hair.

Across my mind there flashed a
picture Of Pat Dalton leaning across
