appealing to mans spiritual nature,
are so clear and logical as to appeal,
also, to mans mental nature. The
Rev. Mr. Franks is intensely in earn
est in his efforts to bring sinners to
repentance, and all the people Of Col
umbus viii wish him and his CO.

our hearts should be filed with graf

THANKSGIVING DAY
By S. N. b.

( est Of vihnds. 1t is fact OF history
that the immortal stonewall Jackson
never so much as drank glass Ui
water without bowing his head and
thanking God for the refreshing
ldraught.
! When we look back through the
vista of years and think how long
this occasion has been observed, II
seems that we have been living IN
Dream Land. SO, on through the
ages, let US make each day a red let
ter day, a real day of Thanksgiving to
the Divine Father.
All Nature is grateful. Old Sol,
riding in his chariot of fire, holding
his reins more majestically than a
king. on his throne as he sweeps
across the highway of the skies, seems
to say, Thanksgiving" Each flower,
from the tiny rose bud to the gor-
geous chrysanthemum, all bow their
heads in thanksgiving. The forest
children mingle with the birds in
their singing and cooling to their
mates and all render thanks to the
Creator. Even the little streamlet
that sings its way to the great river
speaks thanksgiving for an outlet.
Let us this year celebrate Thanks
giving Day in manner befitting the
occasion. Let us celebrate it with
open hearts and with loosened purse
strings and make it a day of thanks
giving to all.
This year Columbus win have its
annual Thanksgiving service at night.
The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings Of night,
As a feather is waited downward
From an eagle in its flight.
X X x
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse Of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer
X x X
And the night shall be filed with
music,
And the cares that infest the day,
Shall folds their tents, like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.

Every year ON the last Thursday
in November people give formal
thanks for the blessings of life. A
"bountiful harvest usually comes
FIRST on the list. But who remembers
to give thanks for the mon whose
long years of study Of seed breeding,
Of methods of cultivation, and Of in-
sect and disease control have made a
good harvest possible?
Good health" is always on the list.
Should not thanks be given most fer
vently Just here for the heroic souls
who have dared contagion and death
times unnumbered to study methods
and management that have meant a
whole worlds welfare? Surely, these
should be remembered,
"peace" of coursel How our
hearts all go out. in thankfulucss for
that greatest of all blessings Has
the terrible price we have paid and
are all still paying for peace still inn
pressed itself upon Us definitely
enough so we win not stop at thank
fulness? Let us hope so.
Even in a year like this, a year Of
and uncertainty for many
of us, we have much left to he thank
ful for. One year with another, our
land is safe and comfortable and hap
py. 1t is the unselish and progress
sive spirit of mankind that has opcr-
ated through all the ages to make il
what it is. When all is summed up,
it is this vigorous and potent efIici-
ency of our own kind that we should
be most thankful for, and that will
bring us back prosperity

THANKFULNEss

Thankfulness is one Of the most
fragrant of the graces. Il is an
emotion which must not only be ex-
perienced, but also gladly and fully
expressed. The expression Of it deep
ems the capacity for feeling it, and
sweetens not only the life Of him who
gives utterance to il, but also the
wide life Of mankind The sense of
gratitude is one Of the greatest ira
ditions Of the American Republic, and
to keep .it alive and hand il on to our
defendants is one Of the high privile-
ges Of everY loYal American.
