Thanksgiving Greed
By DR.. Charles StelZle


In religion, Thanksgiving is
just as important as faith.
With thanksgiving - let your
requests be made to Cod" the
apostle wrote. We ask and re-
ceiv not, because we have failed
to thank God for what He has
already given. We are like care
les children who grab what is
offered them without saying
THANK you"
If you were to study the Bible
in connection with the subject
of prayer you would find that
Thanksgiving is one Of the es-
sentials of receiving. This is
not because God wishes to humi-
late us bue because He has
chosen to develop our characters
by being grateful.
Ingratitude is always the sign
of smallRes or immature charac-
ter. A really big man is always
Grady to acknowledge his indebt-
edness to the humblest person
who may have assisted him. To
be thankful, therefore, is an in
dication of supremacy rather
than inferiority.
81 am the debtor both to the
Greek and to the barbarian, "
said the apostle Paul This show
ed that he was grateful to men.
But he was chiefly thankful ii
God for these men, and for his
associates. 81 thank my God for
Iyou all" he wrote to the Ro-
mans. =. 80.
Paul was also grateful for what
God had done for others, and
this was a sign of still greater
gratitude than merely thanking
God for what had been done
for himself. This was shown
when he said:
Il thank my God always OF
your behalf, for the grace OF
God which is given you by
Jesus Christ; that in everything
we are enriched by Him."
| Here then is the outline, O.
what dmight be built into, {
Thanksgiving creed:
| / thank all men for what they
| have dcne for me.
| / thank God for what He ha,
! done for me.
| | thank God for what He has
done for my fellowmen.

Millions OF Great Auks

There were millions of great auks
when French fishermen found them
around Newfoundland in the Fiji

they were all gone. They and their
eggs were priced as food; their
feathers for down. Once French
sailors filed two boats with bodies

what he refers to as sinister
exhibition of undemocracy. He
refers to the fact that Alabama

Iowa cast about 100000
votes more than Alabama-and
yet Iowa has only II, the same
number as Alabama. Alabama's
II went to Mr.. Roosevelt, and
lowa's II to Mr.. Willkie - that
is, in the Electoral College, two
