After explaining that Puritans
was not only a revolt against

business and servility, vice, sloth.
and self indulgence, he continued:
But they were not opposed to a
wise and even joyous use of life
under the restraints of virtue.
They were not opposed to art and
music or literature. They could
enjoy life as thoroughly as the
gayest Cavalier, but it was in a
wise spirit of restraint which dis
dained 10 make pleasure the prime
end of existence. They loved the
noble things of life too well to
be attracted by the ignoble. They
lived by admiration, hope, and
DISCRIMINATION of all things
lofty; hope in all things true;
love of all things pure and lovely
and of good report; know
ing how to use the world and not
abusing it; people whose simple
pleasures leave no defilement on
the mind and no burden on the
conscience; with whom piety and
joy went hand in hand.
This year the tercentenary is
bringing out the thought of the
Pilgrim Thanksgiving of 1921 as
a decOrOus combination of Joy
and piety." In our more careful
and thorough studies of early
colonial history, we have learned
that there were many Thanksgiv-
ing previous TO November, 1921.
To the Pilgrims a Thanksgiving
Day was no novelty; in fact, they
had been surfeited with them in
England. where the king or queen
proclaimed a day of thanksgiving
so frequently and where the peo-
pie observed such days so bolster
ously and recklessly as to render
them hateful and Objectionable
TO men of such type as the Pill
grim fathers.
In Holland the Pilgrims became
accustomed to an annual Thanks
giving Day in the autumn, as the
Dutch observed October 3 as such.
DR.. William Elliot Griffis, in
his book, The Pilgrims in Their
Three Homes, says: Their an
nual Thanksgiving Day was on
October 3, when all the Dutch
people of the city Ueyden) went
TO church to thank God for de-
llverance from the enemy ana LOT
his mercies, and then returned
home to eat their favorite histor-
ic dish-a stew of meat and veg
etables, Spanish hodge-podge, or
hutch-putch, as they called it
in memory of their fathers. To
this dish they added dainties and
rich things for JOY and gladness.
Thus the Pilgrims had before
them a living example, which
they could never forget, of an an
nual Thanksgiving Day to God.
In reality.it seems that our
forefathers had not waited for
any special season for formal
thanksgiving, but upon many oc-
casions had spontaneously obser-

such as she should be stoned, but that
they desired to know what he had to
say. The record states that he stoop-
ed and with his finger wrote on the
ground. Is it not possible that in that
moment the Master turned his gaze
away from the group that he might
pray, that he might see each one Of
that group as Gods idea, an express
sion of Gods goodness and God 8
love? He did not want to see self
righteous condemning Scribes and
Pharisees, nor did he wish to see an
impure, sinful woman, but he did want
to see each one as child of God, ex-
pressing God-like qualities.
Judge by Result
From the result, we may judge
whether or not the Masters treat
ment, or prayer, was effective; the
men, one by one, went out and left the
woman alone. The Master, then look.
ing upon her asked where were her
accusers and being informed that
there were none he answered. Meth.
er do l condemn thee; go and sin no
more" Thus Jesus taught that his
mission was not to condemn, but to
save the world. AS followers of him
are men more apt now to condemn or
to seek to save? Is not our way to
group men in our thoughts and to
label them-one group with certain
disease, another group with some dis.
ease. then one group guilty of this
crime, and another group guilty OF
some other crime-in other words
condemning them to disease and sin
when God has not?
Let US rather be followers of the
Master and try to save our fellowmen
by knowing and understanding that
they are Gods children and as such
neither sick nor sinful.

read Divine Science, rising above
physical theories, excludes matter, re-
solves things into thoughts, and re-
places the objects Of material sense
with the objects of material sense with
spiritual ideas"
Try in Household.
Let US try this plan in our destruc-
ton of evil. We may begin on the
members Of the household by seeing
them as thoughts; thoughts of God,
expressions of His goodness and His
love, existing to bless the home and
all mankind. Contrariwise, let us not
see them as selfish, impatient, intoler-
ant and all such evil thoughts or be-
liefs will be banished from the home.
Then home will become the abiding
place of love, goodness and harmony.
Perhaps some of you are workers in
other lines-clerks or proprietors of
stores.
1t does not make any difference in
working Gods way about ones rank,
whether he be clerk or proprietor.
The proper business or work for him
in either instance is to prove God and
His all-ness. Then do not see the
business as so many selfish clerks to
be handled or as a cruel boss to be
dealt with, or as so much material to
be shown to customers, then put on
the shelves day after day. Resolve
all the business into thoughts of God,
expressions of Gods goodness, Gods
love, existing to bless clerks, proprie.
tors, customers and all mankind. To
wait on customers is added opportun-
ity day after day to show forth the
goodness and love of God whose re-
Election you are. 1t thus means oppor-
tunity to bless each customer and
should mean great joy to you and to
them.
Christian Science is trying to teach
men that for every human need they
should look to God. to the spiritual
and not to the material. There is
nothing in all Gods creation to fear,
for God is All-in-all and one cannot
fear God or good.
Forgiveness Of Sins.
It has sometimes been asked if
Christian Science teaches that sin is
forgiven. 1t does. Sin is forgiven
when its nothingness is understood
and the sinner no longer INDUCES
therein. To pray for forgiveness, and

man to any new state of consciousness
or well-being. 1t is like praying to an
idol, it does not accomplish anything
but to know and understand that the
illusions called sin are unreal, and
confer no sweetness, or power, is to
rise above sin and destroy it, conse
quently to find forgiveness.
Let us consider an instance in the
life of the Master. On the occasion
when the Scribes and Pharisees
brought before him a woman taken in
adultery, they were seeking the de
struction of the woman and meaning
at the same time, to involve the Mas
ter in conflict with Jewish law. They
assured him that the woman was gull
| ty, and that the law commanded thai

OF Interest to Women

A prominent physician says that by
far the largest number of women's all
ments are not surgical ones, that is
they are not caused by serious dis
placements, or growths Symptoms
similar in character are often brought
about by much simpler conditions. We
therefore urge every woman who
suffers from backache, headaches,
bearing down pains, side ache, irreg-
ularities, nervous dependency, or
weakness to give Lydia E. Pinkhar n s

as a natural restorative and often
prevents more serious troubles.
