GODS WORLD.

Thy winds, thy wide, grey skies!
Thy mists. that roll and rise!
Thy woods. this autumn day, that ach,
and sag
And all but cry with colour Tha
gaunt crag
To crush! To lift the lean OF tina
black blum,
World world | cannot get thee clos,
enough!
Long have known a glory in II ali,
But never knew | this;
Here such a passion Is
AS stretchest me apart, Lord, dc
fear
Thou'st made the world too beautiful
this year;
My soul is All but out OF me.--let fall
No burning leaf; prithee let no bird
call.

As Thanksgiving Day comes again,
we may well ask ourselves II we have
done our best to Increase and share
those blessings for which we were
| thankful last year. Perhaps we were
thankful for good health. Have we
lent our aid in combating disease and
helping TO raise the standard of health
among others? We were thankful that
we were not in need. Have we helped
our less fortunate neighbors, relieved
the distress Of the poor and worked
for better economic conditions.
We were thankful that we lived In a
free country. Have we lent our in
tluence in combating all forces which
tend TO lessen this freedom? We were
thankful for peace. Have we embraced
every opportunity 10 abolish war and
insure peace for our posterity?
When all things tending towards
peace and happiness have been richly
bestowed upon us. we should try to-
bring the same things into the lives
OF others, II il only as we give that
we can receive. and IL we cease To
give. we soon find that we are no long
er advancing to the goal where evil is
vanq1ished and good is all.
II we are sincere in giving thanks
for our blessings. we viii earnestly
strive 10 bring these blessings to all
mankind. so that all may have ocoa-
sions to be thankful AS we give
thanks for the many things which we
have enjoyed during the past year, let
us firmly resolve that through our
efforts. there will be greater cause for
among others next year. |
Every marriage contracted has its |
own individual problems. An outsider (
never knows the real statistics OF the /
case and IL consequently, very foolish 1
indeed to interfere. He would indeed.
be rushing in where angels fear 10
tread"
However there are n few basic laws
about marriage which nearly every one
can learn by observation. One Of
Lhese Is that cheerfulness on both sides
would do much to create harmony,
Since we are human beings II is to be
expected that there will be time when
trouble or worry gets the best OF us
