seOson which our iOrefathers very
wisely set apart US II time of ma
tlonal gratitude and personal
thankfulncss. But n time is not
sufficient: there must also be a
disposition. Thanksgiving, if it be
sincere and abundant must flow
from tharksleeling. We cannot
iorce our emotions. Like love. the
spirit of gratitude cannot be com
lnandad. it must be wooed There
must he an inner well OF joy and
content ever yielding up the sweet
fountains of gladnesS n well spon-
.aneous and continuous in it's flow.
What is the secret Gs such thanks
feeling Fow men have endured
and suffered as dif the Apostle
Paul. and none were ever 60 thank
full. He said. II have learned in
whatsoever state | am Herewith
20 be content" that is, self suffi-
rIcnt or Independent of external cir
'nmstanccs. Paul means. Il have
learned in whatsoever condition |
find myself to be Independent Of
those conditions, and superior to
them Paul exemplified this in his
life and work. He was ever sustain
ed by a thoughtful, tried and
trustful optimism. Not the Opti-
misiln of the foolhardy. nor that OF
the inexperienced nor that of the
mere stolc--but an optimism sim
cere, sane and saglciOus
Here are briefly five specifics to
insure such a spirit OF thanksgiving
in us all:
/. Cultivate imagination and
ideality. AS a people we are too
sordid and matter of fact. We
need. now and then, to lift our
noses from the grindstone, to
cease undertaking, to have visions
and dream dreams. Some one has
said that one prolific cause of di
vorce is that people do not read
enough poetry. We need to ideal
ize life and forget it's barrenness
and wretchedness. Chas Sheldon.
in speaking of his boyhood home,
q log hut of two rooms, said, TN the
late afternoon. when the work was
done we drew an imaginary line
through the living room and step
ping over it said, This is now our
grand parlor.'
A second specific for content is
this:
2. Remember how often our
fears have proved groundless and
have failed to materialize.
How many ghosts of fear have
vanished in mid air! 1t is the mot.
to OF Atheism and not OF Christian
fty: 1T is safer to trust our fears
then our hopes" Some ono has re
marked Let us be of good cheer,
that the mOsfOrtunes
hardest to bear are those which
never happen. As James Whitcomb |
Riley says, For, we know, not ev.
cry morrow can be sad: so, forget.
ting all the sorrow we have had |
let us fold away our fears and put
by our foolish tears, and through |
all the coming years, just be glad"
3. Akin to this is third specific:
Let us refuse to brood over our
trials. Life is not all sunshine:
There are real sorrows in life But |
LET rs not brood over them. Many
Il bundle of dormant fears would
never have warmed to life had we
not cherished them in our bosOms.

not have achieved anything great !

THANKSGIVING IS THE
PRODUCT Of THANKSGIVING

But Jesus, absorbed In others
woes, said, 81 have meat to eat that
We know not of. My meat is to do
the will of Him that sent me and
TO accomplish His work.
4. Another specific for the ills OF
Dassimism is this: Look for better
thirgs and expect them. According
to your faith be it unto you. Who
can measure the magnetic power of
strong faith to draw things down
from hcavan. DR.. Parkhurt says,
Expectation is the door through
which blessing enter. and no enter
ing blessing can be larger than the
door it has to go through Things
come to us as rule about as fast
as we get into such condition as
to be looking for them" Passing
between foul river and lumber
yard man groWled, What a stencil
from this river" but his vile re-
marked in an admonishing voice.
How good these pine boards smell
Someone has said that all the pur-
traits of the Pilgrim Fathers look
as though they were always scent
ing a bad odor. Pessimism was the
peculiar pest of the Puritan.
How happy everyone lOOks!" ex-
claimed Il child. behOlding his null
tiplicd visage in the mirrors of
Moorish Palace. Laugh and the
world laughs with you, weep and
you weep alone"
Some poet sings:
Don't look for flaws as you 90 thru
life;
And even when you find them.
1t is wise and kind to be somewhat
blind,
And look for the virtues behind
them.
For the cloudiest night has hint
of the light
Somewhere in it's shadows hiding:
1t is better by far to hunt for star
Than the spots on the sun abid-
ing.
s.. Lastly: Possess and develop
the consciousness of hidden and
abundont reserves of power. II
can do all things through Him that
me-" Said the Governor
of New York in u Thanksgiving
"A nations strength
is measured by its faith In the
Deity. The indwelling God is the
secret source of our greatness.
Many people have defined opti-
mism. One has said. "a pessimist
is one who is always mierable when
he is happy and an optimist is one
who is always happy when he is
Another '.The pessi-
mism is consciousness of hidden re-

But Dir. Hills seaks wisest, "Optl-

serves. Pessiinism is poverty of re-
source
Reserve is good thing to have.
SO the general has reserves In the
fort. The eloquent speaker posses
ses reserves of eloquence The
housewife has special reserves or
preserves In ease OF sudden com.
pany The wise bank has reserves
in ease of run The wise man
has spiritual reserves of power to
meet sudden strain and stress of
life. TOO many have carcely enough
grace to get along on in normal
experiences. We need stores Of
grace to meet the crises of sudden
care. sorrow and trial We have
them only as our trust is In the
Eternal.
Thanks be to God!
Let the heart of man sing 1t.
Let the far echoes bring it.
Let the little birds wing it.
Let the glorious winds fling it.
Let the bells OF heaven ring it.
Thanks be to God!

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The con-
stitutionality of the woman's suffrage,
or nineteenth amendment, was sus-
tanned today by the supreme court in
an unanimous decision rendered by
Justice Brandeis.
The challenge came from the state
OF Maryland where Oscar Lesser, and
others, sought to prevent the regis
trationl of two women as qualified
voters in Baltimore. Lesser and his as
sociates contended that the constitu-
tion OF Maryland limited suffrage to
men; that the legislature of Maryland
had refused to ratify the women's suf-
frage amendment, and that the
amendment had not become a part OF
the federal constitution. The Mary
land state court sustained the amend
ment.
The contention that an amendment
to the federal constitution relating To
additions to the electorate cannot be
made without the consent of the state
the court disposed of by reference to
the fifteenth or equal suffrage amend
ment, declaring that "one cannot be
valid and the other invalid" 1t pointed
out that the validity of the fifteenth
amendment had been recognized for
half century.

LONDON. Feb. 27-London is ablow
tonight with a feeling bordering some
what on excitement over the wedding
tomorrow of Princess Mary. The
brilliant assemblage which is to wit
ness the service in Westminster Abb
hey will be more in the nature of
friends than is usually the case in
great state functions, for the majority
of those invited are really friends, or
at least acquaintances of one or both
of the principals, rather than guests
merely hidden on account of court
formality.
When the betrothal of the princess
was first announced, it was expected
that many members of royal families
from abroad would he invited to the
ceremony, but only the son and daugh-
ter of the King of Spain and Grand
Duke Michael and Prince Mich
olas of Rumania will be present, they
being the only members of other royal
houses CHANGING to be in England at
this time.
The list of royal wedding presents
issued at Buckingham palace tonight
comprises 908 separate articles.
Among the latest announced is a sun
