lage the missionary, passing through,
had left few pages Of the gospel in
the Indian tongue. Our Indian read
and rejoiced. Measuring the mission
ary's footprint, he fitted it with mag
,nificent mOccasins, and travelled 200
miles to give them to the missionary
as an expression of his gratitude.
Thus the missionary was enriched by
the present, but the Indian was en-
riched by the thanksgiving.
The best thanksgiving is a happy
heart, Blossoms mean nothing on a
dead stick. Once when the car Wis

.boughs of the trees innumerable paper
flowers, very pretty as a spectacle, but
very unworthy as a symbol, since they
were false. Our praise will be quite
valueless unless it is rooted in the
daily life.
Train yourself to be grateful for the
common blessings. There had been a
great cotton famine in Lancashire,
England. For lack of material to
work upon, the mills had been idle
for months, and there was great dis
tress among the operatives. At last
