WHY Give THANKS
Manifold Blessings Accorded to
This Nation.
Surely One. Needs only Few Mo.
.ments' Reflection to Realize the
Causes for Gladness.

1t is written Of Plato that, .'looking
through the dim spectacles of nature,
he gave thanks to God for three
things: First, that he was created 81
man and not beast. Second, TINT
he was born Greclan and not
barbarian. Third, that he was born
possible philosopher"
If this represents the pagan ideal OF
gratitude, 1t is in marked contrast to
the Christian ideal. a bonstful spirit
has no place in true thanksgiving to
Cod The Pharisec who went up to
the temple to pray and thanked God
that he was not as other men, was
roundly rebukcd by Christ for his pre-.
sumption. The last place for one TO
display his egotism should be before
the throne of God. "Wh0socver will
be great among YOU, let him be your
minister" said Christ. 1t is time
for true humility OF spirit
Now that this nation has grown rich
beyond the dreams Of the austcrr
pioneers do Americans OF today rec
ognize the source Of their manifold
blessings, and Will they with true hu.
the giver Of all good gifts. Forgetting
not all his bcncitS?'
America is today the richest and
most powerful nation of the earth, and
It is this very Opulcncc that leads the
people, most literally blessed of all, to
neglect TO remember the source OF
good In days of Opulence and power
men are prone to put their trust in
themselves and to underestimate those
influences that have made them great
IngrNtitudc has been called The mos;
popular sin in the world. because it is
the result OF SclfiShncSS or ugntiSm
or ambition or whatever the case may
be. Nations being an aggregation OF
individuals, in their days Of power
have Il tendency to trust in themselves

Europe, before the Reformation. special
days were set apart as days Of re,
ligious thanksgiving The American
Thanksgiving day Is traced back TO the
Pilgrims.
Shortly after the landing Of tho Pil.
grlmS. while searching for a suitable
place in which to build their homes,
they one day came upon some deserted
indian nuts. In which they found some
baskets filled with corn. From this
supply they succeeded in saving enough
to plant their first years crop.
In the spring OF 1921 the seed corn
was sown and It's growing watched
anXionsly by the people of the little
colony TO their great joy, the hnr-

thereof. Wild turkeys, geese, ducks
and water fowl, corn bread and vcgc-
tables no doubt formed the chief con
stitucnts Of their feast, not to speak
Of the five deer brought in By II tribe
of friendly Indians.
This festival is supposed to be the
first real Thanksgiving day from which
we date our celebration. This cole.
bration, although without doubt the
origin of our national THANKSGIVING

local observance, being held hy the
