LET AMERICA BE THANKFUL!

Let America be thankful! Not in any sense
of SNUG self-righteousness though she were
better than others in any sense of complacent
self-satsfaction as though she had achieved her
goal but in devout and humble gratitude to AL
mighty God for blessings far beyond what she
deserves.
Let America be thankful for peace; for free
dom from the threats of war; for democratic
forms of government where civil and political
liberties are safe guarded by constitutions laws
and traditions and where changes of government
are made by popular consent rather than by
bloody revolution
Let America be thankful for homes that are
the castles of those who live therein, where the
knock in the early dawn the ring of bell at
midnight brings blood-chilling fear of Gestapo
or Egpu; where children dwell in safety and are
ignorant of the use of bomb-proof shelters and
where only chldrens camps those OF
Boy or Girl Scouts or of churches.
Let America be thankful for religious freedom
for the right to worship God according to the
dictates of the individual conscience; where no
creed is prescribed and creed prescribed but
where every creed is free to make its appeal to the
intelligence and conscience of mankind and where
the only test of faith is the spiritual validity OF
that faith itself
Let America be thankful even for her problems
that still unsolved for faith and courage
that is ready and willing to meet all difficulties
in the conviction that we have the resources
necessary to meet all problems that may arise.
Let America be thankful this Thanksgiving
day and on every day; let her be clothed in right
eousness and humility and arnored with I'm
conquerable faith Let America bend low before
the Throne ard sing Praise God from whom

TAKING SENSIBLE VIEW

When the conscrption measure was passed, we
expected terrific howl to go up all over the
country but such was not the case and people IN
general seem to feel that it was necessary, and
wonder why it not done long ago. No matter
how peaceful the world may become-Gf it ever
does) it is likely that the conscrption law will be
continued. People taking the sensible view
of it-namely that arming for peace and
not for war. They know that armed force is our
greatest insurance against Soldiers know
that the training they will get in camp will be
beneficial, and parents too realize that the dis
ciplining they receive will be most valuable.
Many boy who has ruled at home with high
hand, and carried just he pleased against
the will of his parents, and could not be discipln
ed will get the very lesson he needs, while In
camp. The other day mother of several sons of
draft age, said to the writer, Il don't want my
boys to go across the ocean to hght-and | don't
thank they will have to, but if Hitler ever comes
over here surely want them to fght-in fact [
think that I would grab gun myself and go af-
ter him" We believe that statement represents
pretty much the feeling of parents and people in
general It is certainly true Americanism.

A WHOLESOME SIGN

Workmen have been busy putting Emery
church in condition for church services, and we
understand Sunday school and church services
are to be held there This church building,
which was one of the best located in the county
had been abandoned and about to fall down.
1t had been advertised to be sold; and on the date
fixed for the sale the auctioneer was present, with
plenty of bidders for the building, and the auc-
tioneer was just beginning the sale. But there
was something present at that sale-sometnng 6
that seemed to be saying this building should not
be sold-this church has been a power tor good,
in the past and should occupy the same place IN
the future. To make long story short, 1T was
not torn down. and was not sold, and is being re.
stored and put in condition for worship, like 1t
was when the founders of that church were on
earth Here we will state that anyone who has
not made contribution, for this church, and wish
es to do so, get in touch with someone in that
community or send to the Democrat office, ano
we will see that it reaches the proper hands,
While we are on the subject of this country
church. we would also call attention to the fac
that another country church that had been prac
tcally abandoned, has too been restored with
Roads church, between Reinersville and Hackney
Also in this connection we would mention th'
fact that McKendree church--perhaps the strong
est country church in the county, has been un
dergoing extensive repairs and remodeng; an<
the same thing is true of the Bristol Presbyterian
church, another strong country church.
We believe that this revived interest in countr.
churches, is a wholesome sign.

LET'S STOP FIGURING

Political mathematicians have worked overtime
since the election trying to figure out what
GREAT race Mr. Willke made for the presidency
Let them figure as they may, but when the official
results show that he received but 81 electoral
votes to his opponents 449, it does not look so
very good, no matter how it is figured 1t is not
our intention to present figures to show how wen
Mr. Roosevelt ran. However there is one thing
that is being worked overtime to which we
would call attention and that is the claim IS
made that if something more than halt million
votes had been scattered throughout number OF
states, the result might have been different we
will not present any argument to refute the'r
6gures-they may be correct but why not do a
little figuring the other way. much smaller
number of votes distributed here and there
would have given Mr.. Roosevelt every electoral
vote Keep in mind that Mr.. Willkie carried sew
eral states by very small margins, and had no
really outstanding majority in any of them.

Constantine Brown. need of a loose
organization of volunteers-amateu
warriors. He wanted compact di-
visions of trained men who knew
what war meant. The volunteers
were useful to fill the gaps: but
that was not as important as get
ting four or five divisions of profess
sional soldiers with more divisions
to come later.
German Foreign Minister Won
Ribbentrop initiated peace talks
three weeks ago. He wanted Ger
many to become the peace maker Of
Europe. He is an ironical fellow.
The Reich's foreign minister sug-
gested to the SWedes a compromise
solution to put an end to the Fin
nish war. He knew full we'll that
Stain will exact more than pound
of flesh. But the so-called Swedish
proposals reached Moscow and Hell
slnki. They were received in luke
warm manner in both places.
Willing TO Talk Peace.
But in the face of hesitation Of
the allies to even break off relations
with the Muscovites, who were as
guilty of unWarranted aggression as
the Germans, the Firms thought it
might be advisable to try and save
something out of the wreck. And
they indicated their willingness to
| discuss peace with their arch-en-
emies.
AS soon as this report-unCon-
| flrmed at first-reached London and
Paris, the two governments became
unduly worried. They realized that
under present conditions a peace be-
tween Finland and Russia would be
another bloodless victory for the
Reich. They realized that it may
mean the beginning of the forma-
| ton of an economic unit with parts
Of Finland. and the two Scandinav-
ian Kingdoms as one unit. Of the
two evils, the weak has to choose the
lesser. And in the eyes of those ma
tons which for years have lived in
! fear Of the Russian bear. Nazi Ger
many appears less dangerous.
Serious Danger to Allies.
This is being realized now in Lon
don and has been realized for some
! time in Paris. The possibility of a
/ peaceful penetration of the all-in-
portant Scandinavian peninsula is
a most serious danger to the allies.
Hence their appeal to Finland to
hold fast.
But according to all reports, they
are once more too late. If the Ger
man influence in Moscow can induce
Stain to be less exacting and be sat
isfied to take what he wanted from
Finland in October, 1899. there is
every possibility an armistice be-
tween Russia and Finland will be
concluded soon. The repercussions
among the small neutral countries
of Europe will be unfavorable for the
allies to say the least.

eral Government counts on farm
aid and farm advice to improve
that program through the proc
e.ss of actual experience as the
need arises. That 1 call a truly
democratic process of govern
ment.
These are troubled times we
of this generation are living
through. Some of us. I know
are tempted to give way to doubt
and fear. even to despair.
But when We are beleaguered
by thoughts like these. let us re-
member how the Nation has
come through its dark hours of
the past and take courage. Think
OF Adams and Jefferson and
Madison, as they guided the Ma
ton through the confusion of
the Napoleonic period, with ships
rotting at the docks and millions
OF dollars of farm products stored
on the wharves of the Atlantic
seaboard. Think of Lincoln as
year after war-torn year he shell
tered in his great heart the
truest aspirations of a country
rent in twain.
Americans Demonstrate
Strength Since 1929.
We believe our beloved United
States will come through all Its
trials and tribulations of the
present. Ever since 1929 the
people of the United States have
demonstrated the stuff of which
they are made.
One of the reasons we know
we shall win through is the ma
tlonal farm program, the incep-
ton Of which you are commence
rating tonight. The farm pro-
gram is a splendid example of
what 100000 American families
can do when they have the will
and the leadership to do it.
The farmers have had a long.
hard struggle to get laws and
programs which give them an
opportunity to obtain economic
and social justice, to make it pos
sible for them to conserve the
good earth which, next to our
people and our tradition of free
dom, is our greatest heritage.
I am happy in the thought that
American farmers have gone part
way along that road to economic
and social justice, even though
they have not reached the goal.
am happy in the thought that
American farmers = understand
full well that other great groups,
such as industrial and retail
groups in the cities, great and

these seven years they have made
undisputed progress toward it.
Many years ago 1 was told by
men of experience in State and
national affairs that American
farmers could never agree on a
program. / did not share that
pessimistic belief. My friends and
l went out to disprove it and the
farmers of America showed
clearly that we were right. To
them goes the honor and the
glory.
In the spirit of progressive ac-
ton that has animated these
American farm families, all of us
tonight can face with confidence
whatever difficulties the future
may hold.
