10. What Faith Will Do
(Matt. 9:22, 20; 17:20.)


There are no limitations to the
things that faith will do. In He
brews Paul recounts some of the
marvellous things that had been
made possible by faith in olden
times, and we know that faith
has thesame potency today.
Faith will remove all discord
from your life; it will bring
abundance; it will heal every
form OF disease. Some people
have faith in God as health, 9TH
ers have faith in Him as pros
perlty, or as courage, or harmony,
or as some other attribute which
man can desire. But if we can
build up a faith in God as ALL
God, then He will manifest i'm
our lives in the form which is for
our greatest good. Faith brings
God into expression in human af-
fairs.

ANNIVERSARY OF ERECTION
OF THE STATUE OF
LIBERTY

Fifty-seven years ago this coun-
try received as gift from our sis
ter republic of France, the statue
which is known throughout the
world and which adorns the en-
trance into the harbor of New York.
We are celebrating this day as
/ the anniversary of the erection of
] this statue in New York harbor
This is not merely a statue of
!, bronze and marble. not merely a
work of art, or the fruit of the gem
ius Of an artist, it is vastly more
than that. 1t has become a symbol
a symbol of American liberty. We
call it the Statue of Liberty so that
we may forever bear in our minds
the Importance of the preservation
Of liberty on this continent. We
call the island, upon which the
statue is situated, Liberty Island
In fact the face of that statue is
known to every person who has
entered the harbor of New York,
and the lady of liberty, or the old
lady of Bedloes Island, as she is af-
fectionately called, is the represen-
tation of the spirit of our Republic
to everyone who has ever come to
these shores.
Through the portals of New York
City and into the harbor of this
great nation of ours there have
poured, year after year, immigrants
from all lands. The tired, poor,
and oppressed, as Emma Lazarus so
beautifully expresses in the poem
which is engraved on the Statue Of
Liberty, came to this country, as
sured of welcome the moment
their eyes rested upon this great
Statue of Liberty.
Sometime ago attention was call
ed to the fact that while the Statue
OF Liberty was a free gift from the
free country of France, the country
that give us this statue is no longer
enjoying it's own liberty. Our hearts
go out to the people of France, who
now suffer under a dictatorship and
under the heel of a tyrant We
hope and pray that liberty will be
restored to them, and that again
our two sister republics will con-
tinue to enjoy that communion of
the spirit which has always been a
part of our national history in the
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1941-11-20
THANKSGIVING

The beginning of the institution
known as Thanksgiving started with
the Pilgrims at their second cele-
bration July 80, 1923, for here we
find both feasting and public wor-
ship. The idea of the festival was
not new since such festivals had
frequently been held in other coun-
tries; but always before the day
had been set apart by order of the
church. Here in the Plymouth col
ony, in the year 1923, for the first
time in history, a governor desig-
mated the day and called the people
to Thanksgiving. The custom of
appointing Thursday arose from
the fact that it is the most conven-
lent day in which to prepare the
feast, fact of greater Importance
in early times, when everything
had to be done by hand labor AL
though the season was more often
in the summer or fall than other
wise, it remained unfixed for a
number of years.
Washington chose Thursday, Nov.
26; Adams chose days in April and
May; Madison chose August, Sep
tember, January and April. Not un-
til the close of the Civil war, did
the date become standardized as the
last Thursday in November.
