RECOUNT BLESSINGS

minded of Gods Gifts.

III HERE Is no more important da,
L In our national calendar than tina
on which we are called upon by oul
national and state executives to as
semble In our accustomed places OF
worship to render devout Thanksgiving
to God for our blessings, both collec-
tive and individual.
1t Is we'll for our entire nation thus
emphatically to be reminded of Its
dependence on God and of its obliga-
ton to Him.
1t Is well for us both as individuals
and as a people thus seriously to take
account of our blessings and thus for
mally and ultimately to express our
gratitude.
For we are entirely too much in
clined to magnify the Ills we suffer.
the difficulties we encounter, and the
disappointments which befall us that
we lose sight of the things which
II received and used in the right way
enrich and ennoble our lives. One
need not make very diligent search
In order to discover a vast number
OF things In this favored land of ours
which call for thanksgiving. Nor does
1t require much further investigation
TO make clear that the ills which af.
hict us most deeply are due, not to
any failure of divine benefcence. but
TO our own sins and follies. And what
is true In this regard of the nation ia
true also In large measure of each
individual. Our only unbearahla
troubles are those which we bring
upon ourselves through our disregard
or the laws Of God So long as we
remain In vital union with Him tho
real values of life are still left nc
Whatever sorrows may overtake us
Inc occasion which bids us recall
our mercies may also be an occasion

that policy bids of foreign manu-
facturers were sometimes accepted.
Congress, in the opinion Of Presi-
dent Coolidge, should amend the
present laws so as to allow the
department to exercise their best
Judgment in the purchase of all
supplies. In many instances, in
the Presidents opinion, it is of adj
vantage to the country, at large
that the department purchase Ger.
tain supplies abroad, but in the
majority of cases it is best for all
concerned, the White House spokes-
man said, that such supplies be
purchased in the United States
where their manufacture gives en-
plOyment to a large number of
workers and adds to the national
wealth.
The question arose through the
desire of the War Department to
purchase certain grades Of khaki
abroad for uniforms. The khaki
desired, it is said, is made only by
foreign manufacturers and cannot
be duplicated by American manu-
facturerS.
