THANKSGIVING.

The Pharisee gave thanks that he
was lot as other men. He believed
himself to be more righteous than his
ne1ghbors. On another occasion he
might have given thanks that he was
better clothed, better fed, better hous.
ed" moreTcomfortable, more fortunate
IN every way, than others were. And
his thanksgiving was in the one case
cited. and would have been in. the
others, destitute of the one thing that
makes thanksgiving anything but the
expression Of gross selfishness-the
spirit Of b~rotherly love. E,
We may give thanks, and it IL ap-
propr'ate that we should, for mate
rial well-being; for the Joys of home
and family, and friends; for liberty,
political and religious; for peace

him as to anyone else, and which

There is no place in human society

We do well to give thanks. We who
