Topekans Haze Much. To Be
Thankful For This Day as
They Count Many Blessings
One of Chief Blessings Is Being Part of Greatest
Richest, Most Powerful and Most Enlightened
Country in the World.

enlightened and most advanced coun-
| try in the world. 1t is a blessing to
be a part of a state like Kansas. 1t
is a blessing to live in a city so clean.
| so beautiful, so prosperous as Topeka.
But these are blessings that have
come to- the individual without his
choosing. And here's where Roose-
Velt'S statement comes in. How many
Topekans, as they. sit down to the
Thanksgiving dinner today, will stop
to think of their less fortunate broth
ers? How much joy have they spread
during the past year, or how much
sorrow? How many curt, short words
when smile and a handshake would
have made the way seem brighter for
someone? How many opportunities
ignored to do someone a good turn? :?
How much gold snatched from the
grasp of the weaker? 1t is a peculiar
fact that in the modern world the
limit of friendship is too often the
lining of the pocketbook.
OF course, there are unpleasant
things too. There are things one
wishes had never happened and con-
ditions one would like to see changed.
But weighed in the balance they form
the lesser portion of that vast con-
glomeration of events that make up
the lives of men and women. They
are no proof that civilization has not
wended her tortuous way upward
very great distance, nor that she will
not continue to climb to still more
lofty pinnacles.
Dark Days May Come.
Dark days come; moral courage
flags in the face of inevitable suffer-
ing. Sometimes all effort seems use
less and life but a taunting parody on
some more ideal condition that the
human mind yearns for. yet cannot
grasp But these illusions fade when
one surveys his surroundings, sin
cerely seeking his blessings and fairly
weighing them against the evil
So Topeka today has, after all, much
to be thankful for. Perhaps it wouldn't
hurt some folks, for the easing of their
own cOnsciences. to even dust off a
spot in the carpet and humbly ac-
knowledge that they would not have
accomplished so much. in spite of their
own energies, If fortune, or God. as
they see fit to call ii, hadn't been kind
to them.

THANKSGIVING day again.

LAeAAAASeA NSAS eA9e1AAi"
And what have Topekans to be
thankful for?
1t is very old, this custom of setting
aside special day for thanksgiving
a custom that has come down to the
present generation, as some claim,
even from the Mosaic law. And it is
a beautiful custom as well: a custom
fitting and proper for an enlightened
people and without the observance of
which America would be slipping an
important cog in her progress.
And while today is a day of uni
versal joy, there must be many per-
sons in Topeka to whom it can seem
but a travesty. There are many whom
a cruel fate has seemingly stripped OF
every favor. There are homes where
there is insufficient food and fuel and
homes in which q vacant chair will
place of some departed loved one who
has occupied it for SO many Thanks
givings before
Many Things To Be Thankful For.
But usually there is one thing to
be thankful for-''it might be worse.
If there is any soul in -s+ch despair
that he cannot get comfort from this
thought, may He to whom thanks are
ascending today comfort him in his
agony. For he is the only one who
cannot lift his voice in gratitude He
is the only one who cannot look with
Il IeeIfHG OIL nope uPOn the
of his country and the world as a
whole He is the only one who can
not see, or at least cannot care, that
huma nifty is being whirled along in
the swift current of time to greater
and better things.
we can best prove our thankful
ness to the Almighty" said the great
by the way in which on
this earth and at this time each of us
does hs duty to his fellow man.
No statement could be more to the
point. This has become an age of
self-assertion, an age of individual eff
fort and accomplishment Undeniably
it is a progressive age, yet perhaps it
would be a little better, after all, il
there were more of the spirit which
tends 70 loEe the individual in that
most essential thing. the nation.
Without the nation the individual
must drift like a rudderless ship
personal sacrifice there can
be no national progress and without
rational progress humanity can make
no. advancement toward that ever re-
,eding goal of perfection, nor can
here be any permanent individual ac-
,omplishment. The one is dependent

cooperation is necessary.
