THANKFUL

The annual Thanksgiving day
is here and we are all truly CRATE
full for the past blessings to- the
Diety who gives all good things,
We should pause long enough to
consider where all our help,
health and strength comes from.
1t is only mans duty to return
thanks for everything he re-
ceives. This great American ma
ton surely needs to be thank
full considering the advantages
we have, living in a land of
plenty and where democracy
reigns, where pit is not necessary
to bow and scrape to rulers who
have inherited power and where
the Individual can feel a sense of
power and protection under the
constitution if he fully appreci-
ates it.
This is the harvest time of the
year. The results gathered meas
ures our efforts combined with
the yielding powers of the earth.
So may we do as the Psalmist
says Give thanks and be glad.

WHEN is IT SAFE, NOT TO
SAY RIGHT, TO KILL!

When people have been SO
near deaths door either through
sickness or injury that it would
seem almost impossible to save
them, the remark has often been
passed that it would seem right
to relieve them of their suffer
ing by administering a quick end
ing. In an editorial the other
day under the above caption, the
Duluth Herald gave out some
good sound thoughts on that sub
ject which are well to ponder
over. The article follows:
A Denver man, lying in a hos
pital suffering from what his
doctors call fatal illness, asked
the directors of the church of
which he is member to pass on
the question whether he can't be
put out Of his misery by painless
ly killing him.
The board, presumably after
due elaboration, voted that he
should be comfortably killed, pro
viding it is true that his case is
hopeless, and providing that a
legal way to do it can be found.
The provisos are quite i'm
portant.
In the first place, no legal way
can be found to do this kindly
meant murder. And u is for
tunate that that is SO.
In the second place, while it
may be presumed that the doc
tors who give this man no hope
know what they are talking
about, there are many people
who have lived to hale old age
after hearing just such condem-
nations as that.
The mystery of what life is, of
what gives it and what keeps it
going, of what takes it away and
what sometimes returns it when
it seems surely on the point Of
going, is still pretty deep. Science
has gone far far, at least, COM
pared with where it started-but
it hasn't solved that mystery yet,
The old saying, while there's
life there's hope, is still pretty
sound philosophy. and pretty
good medical practice, too. Any
body who would fly in the face
of it and commit murder, how
ever mercifully meant, is taking
a greater responsibility than
most of us would care to assume
