THANKSGIVING

Another year has rolled by, bring
ing us to our great holiday,-Thanks-
giving. Holidays are as old as man
but we presume that the earlier holi-
days were events of religious signifi-
canoe. Some things have taught us
to believe that early worshippers
sought to buy the help or goodwill OF
the Gods. SO the offering of fruits,
vegetables, the choicest lambs OF the
flock or the finest bulls of the herd,
was a logical part of their worship.
And so the grateful Pilgrims, although
differing from the early observers OF
holiday in their reverential aspect,
gathered together for a Thanksgiving,
deeply moved by their abundant har-
vest. The faith which they inherited
and shared could trace its recogni-
ton of the goodness and love OF God,
in the care of his earthly creatures,
back across the ocean TO England and
then across the continent to an Older
world than the Motherland. For our
ancestors, it was a religious festival,
and one of intense thankfulness and
gratitude. With succeeding genera
lions the day has come and gone and
to many it means simply day OF
feasting and merriment. Would 1t
not be we'll. however, to really give
thanks as we gather around the festive
board, not only for the blessings of
the present period but for those
sturdy people who came into a new
country, far from the old home and
"builded better than they knew?

ONE WAY OF OBSERVING THE
GOLDEN RULE

Following our Thanksgiving Festi-
val comes another event which, this
year we should heed, that of Golden
Rule Sunday. This is primarily a
plan toeat Golden Rule dinner next
Sunday of a menu similar to the plain
meal eaten by the orphans in Near
East Relief institutions. The saw
ing effected by substituting 1t for the
regular Sunday dinner will be given
to Near East Relief to continue the
work for children. When people
break bread together, they become
friends. On this International Gold
en- Rule Sunday people of all nations
figuratively will gather around the
same table, partaking of the same food,
representing the meal which the un-
fortunate children hope by the bene-
violence of the West, to eat 1856 days
in the year., But even this simple
menu the orphans cannot have unless
the rest of the world in some measure
practices the Golden Rule and share
prosperity ~ftr these children of ad-
versity. A great service will be rem
dered to pure religion without form
or creed IL the adherents of these re-
ligions can be led to apply their Gold
en- Rule to these homeless, country
less people of the Bible lands. 1t
behooves the people of Somerset
County to do their part by eating a
humble meal next Sabbath Day as
practical application of the Golden
Rule

The Ingratitude OF Republics
(By r. T. Patten)

10Y ". l. Il dtlenJ
Men of great abilities and ample
means are sometimes generous of
both toward public matters. There
are splendid examples to justify this
observation. Perhaps there are
more with willingness to donate from
their wealth than from their time
and talents. For public charity
1t Is often easier to secure dollars
than services. Generally speaking
men of great capabilities are quite
reserved when asked to devote them
for the public well-being. There
should be little wonder.
A man of great capabilities will
not strive on forever unless he can
accomplish measure, at least, of
what he sets out to do. Many a
youngster on coming to maturity, is
hOrror-struck at the disparity be-
tween his ideals and the actual con-
ditions of the world into which he is
about to plunge. Fortunately for
the rest of us, at the threshold, the
task of r1ghting matters seems COM
paratively simple. he goes at 1t with
enthusiasm. confident that great re-
suits will follow. At the beginning
he cannot know the lack of co-opera-
ton, misinterpretation of motives and
the actual opposition he will en-
counter. Could he understand this
he would probably throw up his hands
at the start. In his private affairs
he has courage which only grows
by meeting obstacles. the sort of
pluck which is bound to land him a
winner. This same wonderful pluck
will sometimes carry him through in
public endeavor but more often 1t
only makes the tragedy more impress
sive.
Republics are ungrateful". The
