GLENDALE
Armlstiee DAY

meant to the people of the United
States but also to the millions who
live beyond the sea.
It was on the 18th day of Novem-
ber, 1918 when Germany could fight
no longer, signed an Armistic which
ended a war which had been very
destructive to all who were engag-
ed.
1t was on the 18th day of Novem-
Der, 1918, when mothers and fathers
hearts were made glad, by the news
that the war was over and that their
sons (those who were alive) would
soon be at home once more. 1t was
true that many of their boys had
given their lives and were buried on
foreign soil, and many would come
across from the other side crippled
and with incurable diseases; yet it
was welcome news which they
heard that the war was over.
Are we at the present time apt to
be drawn into another war? Will the
hostilities now existing between ia
pan and China spread to other ma
tions, and once more this great
country of ours will be compelled to
engage in another world war? God
forbid.
Red Cross
The Red Cross Society is now
making a drive for funds. No one
who is able should say no when
asked to contribute to the fund for
this great institution.
The Red Cross has shown its
worth in times gone by, by their
presence in all parts of the world
during war, pestilence, floods or any
other calamities, which comes to the /
nations of the earth.
The United States can never re- |
pay the Red Cross people for their |
kindness and care of our soldier |
boys during the World War. Neither /
can the people who recently passed |
through floods and droughths, in the !
South and West ever repay them for |
the help which they gave.
Help the Red Cross.
Thanksgiving Day
Thursday, November 26, has been
designated by the President of the
United States, and the Governor of
Delaware as Thanksgiving Day.
The people of this great country
of ours have much to be thankful
for War has not invaded our bor-
ders, neither have we been compel
led to suffer from any of those
things which other countries are
having today.
1t is true that depression exists in
all parts of our country, that thou
sands of our people are out of en-
but not far away there
seems to shine out things which
would indicate that prosperity is
heading this way. We should be
thankful that we live in a country
so great, that the poor and needy
will be carefully look after at all ]
times.
Let us also be thankful that we
live in a land of churches, where I
people can worship God under their |
own vine and fig tree and none dare
molest the NOR make them afraid.
Above all let us be thankful we /
live in a country SO grand and I
whose people are the most free and
Independent of all the nations of the 7
world.
Then on Thursday, November 26,
let all the people assemble in the +
churches of the cities and towns of
his country and give thanks to Him
he Giver of every perfect gift, for +
he many favors they now. enjoy 7
