THANKFULNESs FOR AMERICA

a New York dispatch tells how a
l6-year-Old messenger boy who with
his family fed from Germany three
years ago. recently published in a
high school magazine a prayer of
Thanksgiving for his home in Am
erica"
Among various expressions OF graf
itude. this prayer said: IL am thank
ful that | am given the opportunity
To enjoy many privileges that are
unheard of in European countries.
am thankful that | live in land
where one is not prosecuted. am
thankful that shall be able to real
ize my ambitions. which would have
been impossible had remained in
my native land"
Most of us who have always lived
i'll America need to realize better the
blessings which belong to us in
this favored land. Instead of feeling
blue because of various troubles. we
should realize that on the whole We
are far better off than the people
Of other lands.
There in no country in the world
where such opportunities are given.
The free schools of our country are
more generous to the poor boy and
girl. They have a chance to rise,
and their success and future de-
pend ON themselves. If they show
perseverance, willingness to learn
and work. they attract attention and
people give them a chance,
Some of the young people who
have not been able TO find work. in
spite of earnest effort, feel this is not
true. Yet the country has been very
generous to all who are out of work
1t has poured out the money by bill
lions. and doubled its debt to provide
for them.
Snch conditions in the past have
proved only temporary. Meanwhile.
instead of government that is in
tolerant of race and religious and
political differences, we have one
where freedom of thought and faith
is permitted. Well we can thank
God for home in such land of the |
free.

THR RON HORsE

President Roosevelt tells congress
something needs to be done TO helT
railroads out OF their financial diff.
culties. Twenty-Five million motor
vehicles, whizzing all over the land
make a very hard competition for
the iron horse. He has 10 stick
right to his track. while the gas
buggy can climb the high noun
tains and poke its nose into the re-
motest back roads.
The railroads used to give employ
ment directly and indirectly to sew
eraI millions of men. Hard times
for them go far to make hard times
in the country. The iron horse
shouldn't be SO loaded up that he
cant climb the hills.

spRTNG THOUGHTS

Somehow the poets have always
burst into song when the spring
has come. The editor may laugh a
bit at some of the rhymes they
bring in, but he knows that a new
feeling of happiness has come over
the land, which inspires some pe0-
pie to blossom out into verse. So
even if he has to tuck some dull
verses into the wastebasket, he
knows that the people are rejoicing
over the return of the sun and the
cheerful songs of the birds. and the
world looks better to everybody.
Said Martin Opitz. a German
poet; 1T is not the variegated cOlors,
the cheerful sounds. and the warm
breezes which enliven us so much in
the spring: it is the quiet prophetic
spirit of endless hope. a PRESENT.
ment of many happy days. the antici-
patton of blossoms and fruits and
secret sympathy with the world"
The people do love the outdoors.
They don't like season of cold
when it is necessary to be shut mp in
houses and workshops most Of the
time.
They want to get out and roam |
around the country. to hear the crack
of the batted baseball. to swat the
little golf ball down the field, to make
the wOOlly tennis sphere spin over
the net. to pursue slippery Mr.. Fish
to his remOtest lair. to observe the
of the birds as they pre-
pare for the eternal renewal of life.
These and a hundred other joys come
with the spring.
The people are already revolving
plans of what they propose to do
hiring the coming summer. Some
will travel far and see many states ,
nd foreign lands. Some will get
ust as much pleasure learning about (
Delaware. Some who never leave
iilford can find beauty and happi- /
ess anywhere under the blue sky.

When any of us entertain with a
bridge party or luncheon, we do so
like to have something that is not
only different, but attractive. Now
some of these attractive dishes, like
we see in famous hotels really require
an infinite amount of patience-but
others are really simple affairs, with
the same results as to flavor and
looks. Here is one that you really
should try sometime soon.

RADIANT LIVING
The Glow of Triumph
By Rev. c. Nj. Griffith
Methodist Pastor of
Deals Island, Md.


Christians are radiant people. There
is a peculiar light upon their counte-
nances. 1t shines forth from then en-
pressions. You are conscious of it as
you talk with them.
There is a glow about their fea-
lures which is suggestive of hidden
Joy, an inward peace, and mastery
victory.
What can be the secret of this
subtle yet impressive radiancy
In some way unknown to others,
Christians have attained a victory
over the distressing things in life
which have brought descouragement,
defeat and disaster to many another
| life.
The radiancy of these triumphant
people is due in no small measure to
the fact that they no longer are liv-
ing in these low places of immortality
that are dark and dismal because of
permitted sin, where the sunlight of
righteous seldom penetrates, but by
that peculiar light which streams
from God.
There are some people whom we
pass on the streets whose faces are
darkened because they live down in
the swamps of condemnation where
the sink holes of sin abound. Others
carry on their faces shadows that per-
tain to the lowlands of fret and worry
where the light of faith shines but
dim.
But the face of the Christian is un-
Swallowed. There is upon it the unob-
structed light which bathes the high
lands of Divine fellowship. Here in
these upper regions of holy living one
is enabled to get an unobstructed view
of Him from whom all light streams
forth.

I'm two years old this very day,
That's what I heard grandma say,
Altho' I'm rough, Pm never bad,
Pm just a tiny little lad.
AS the years pass me by,
I'm going to work, or at least I'll try
I'll try my best to accumulate,
A fortune if it be my fate.
If I fail by the way,
A poor man I'll have to stay,
I'll try and be satisfied,
While in this world whate'er betide.
For a rich man when called away,
Just as the poor returns to clay,
If our hearts are always true
Well live with God above the blue.

through the high waist, tying in
front with two gold tassels. :, The

greater security for the future, lab
or troubles abound. And he point
ed further to the fact that "since
1910 well-being of the average work
ingman has increased 700 to 800 per-
cent"
The CLIO operates, he said, on the
basis that industries have long
enough had control, that it's poet

it's fling now, even if they have to
break few laws to get it. It's
their responsibility he pointed to
as devastating and pointed that the
Ford strike was staged for no 9th

"The solution" he said, lis the
long road of slow growth and evo-
luton out of selfishness, unwise &C

and spiritual stagnation and retro
erosion; and understanding of true
economic situation and faith in a
leadership which though it may not

Local Boy Champion
Mucker of Juneau
Evan Wruck Likes
Northern Country And
Has Plenty of Work

Nosing out nearly two-score of OPP
ponents, Evan Wruck, tall mucker
deluxe, won the championship
mucking contest and $50 in first
prize money the afternoon of July
Fourth, at the new Firemen's Rec
reation Park as part of the Fourth
sporting events, said the Juneau,
Alaska, newspaper.
In the fast time of five minutes,
% and four-tenths seconds, Evan
headed Ed Dull and A. ]. Miner by
n seconds. All contestants moved
one cubic yard Of Alaskan Juneau
crushed ore from one box to an
other.
Evan, in a letter to his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Wruck, of this
city, says that a mucker is Just an
other name for a shoveler. Each
contestant had bin filled with 5000
pounds of crushed rock, or a little
over ton and a half. An empty
bin is placed aside the full one,
both being Of the same size. The
man who shovels the crushed rock
out Of the full bin into the empty
bin in the fastest time Is declared
the champion Of southeastern Alas
ka, although Evan says 1t is only
for the city Of Juneau and the sur
rounding territory.
