Plan to End Interference

ing resolutions:
sResolved that the conference on

he Secretary of Commerce adequate
kgal authority for the effective control
a the establishment of all radio trans
ntting stations except amateur, exper-
mental and government stations and of

do transmitting stations.
Resolved that it is the sense of the
snierence that radio communication is

salated and controlled by the Federal
s,ernment in the public interest.
Resolved that the types Of radio

The recommendations point out the
necessity for government control of
radio telephones as the only solution
to the present chaos of interference
asserting That unless there is definite
regulation Of all telephone transmitting 6
Stations the whole system will be de-
stroyed by interfcrences.

RELIGION BASED
ON GRATITUDE
Truth in Assertion There Cannot
Be the One Without
the Other.
Therein Lies the Particular Better
rnent to All Men in the Devout
Feeling and Celebration Of
Thanksgiving.

He that urges gratitude pleads the
cause OF both God and men, for with
out 1t We can neither be sociable nor
religious" says the pagan philosopher,
Seneca. Thanksgiving, then, If this be
true. is not only an act Of worship, but
an influence for social advancement.
Gratitude Is said to be the rarest of
virtues, yet it exists, and 1t runs like
golden chain throughout society. bind
ing men together. Nor is it as rare as
we are likely from experience and OBJ
servation to think it is. False graft
tude may be eloquent, but it is not
easy to express real gratitude In words.
No metaphysician ever felt the def
cheney OF language 50 much as the
grateful" and through that deficiency
gratitude is often dumb. Neither is
conduct true test. for circumstances
may deny the opportunity Of its ex-
preston, or conflicting circumstances
may prevent its expression when op-
portunity arises. There is much graft
tude in the world, between men and
men, for which evidence is lacking. vet
there is probably no man who cannot
recall a feeling Of gratefulness within
himself which he never voiced and for
favors which he never reauited. Know
ing more of our own thoughts and
feelings than we do of those of Others
we are likely to think the quality Of
gratitude Is our peculiar possession
and cynicaliy to agree with Rochefou-
cauld that gratitude in the generality
OF men is only strong and secret
wish to receive still greater benefits.
Undoubtedly there Is much ON the sur
face to justify that view, but while the
quality of real gratitude may vary con
siderably in its strength there are few
II any who are wholly lacking. and the
mere consciousness of ii makes II \
potent force in the social advancement
of man. Whether thanksgiving be ex-
pressed or withheld 1t is an influence
for betterment within every one of rs. !.
for the feeling toward others is the !
test OF our souls.
But If that is true as between men
4 IS much more true. and much more
potent influence, between men and God. 1

of devotion. If it is a mere utterance

| its source, with "a consequent enrich
nient Of new strength and new courage
Gratitude, as the old pagan said, is
essential to religion. There is no reli-
gion where there is no gratitude. And
the power of religion is in exact pro-
portion to the sense of thankfulness
it inspires That does not mean that
God is great almsgiyer who dispenses
charity for the reward of appreciation.
He gives because he is God, and giving
is the expression of his unaItering
goodness. He gives freely regardless
of thanks. He cannot be bribed to
larger favors by gratitude. The effect
of gratitude is upon ourselves, In the
exercise Of our souls and in the APP
proach to deity through that exercise,
which Is the essential essence of reli-
gion.
And that effect may be collective as
well as individual. We are today q
nation engaged in thanksgiving. We
are, in totality, hundred million souls
expressing gratitude to Him for His
blessings to us as people. If that Is
a mere formality 1t is nothing--it is
worse than nothing. We may be quite
sure that God does not delight In
rhetoric that is but sounding brass and
tinkling cymbals. We may be equally
sure that we as a nation are not adj
yanced or upiifted by sermons or pray
ers or speeches that, however beauti- |
fully attired, are but words. But If
that thankfulness is real. If it Is felt
within, If we are conscious of 1t, IL its

COMMON TO ALL HUMANITY
Every Nation Has Set Apart Time for
Special Services in Gratitude
for Gods Mercies.

Thanksgiving day did not originate
In the United States, but days Of
thanksgiving were set aside for special
purposes many centuries ago. Days
set apart for special thanksgiving to
the Lord were known to the Israelites
and are mentioned throughout the
Bible. They were not uncommon in
England before the Reformation and
among Protestants afterward.
The first thanksgiving held In North
America was conducted by an Eng
iish minister named Wolfall. in 1878,
on the shores of Newfoundland. The
pastor accompanied the expedition IN
der Frobfsher. which brought the first
English colony to settle on those
shores
The earliest record of any observ-
ance of a similar service within the
present territory of the United States
was held by the Popham colony set
tled at Sagadahoe, on the coast of
Maine. IN August, 1907
But the real origin of Thanksgiv-
ing as day specially set apart for
prayer and rejoicing must be attrib-
uted to Governor bradford, first gov
ernor Of Massachusetts colony. In
gratitude for the pIenteous harvest OF
1921, following upon q period Of great
depression, he proclaimed day Of
thanksgiving to be observed December
