Church and Home
BY REV. M. MIKKELSEN
To Gratitude.

Although prosperity has a greater
attractive influence and appeal, and
is at any time preferred to poverty
and adversely, it is by no means Ger
tain that it also contains the greater
and deeper gratitude.
One would imagine that such cir
cumstances in life which afford the
greater appreciation naturally would
be the more attractive and more read
lily aspire to ostentation than mere
exuberancy.
Gratitude, however, is spiritual
virtue, and it should never be mis-
taken for, or confused with, ostenta-
tious display of satisfaction. 1t may,
of course, to some extent, be influ-
enced by circumstances and environ
ment, but it is not in any way con-
tingent upon the presence of wealth,
rather may excessive riches detri-
mentally effect its genuineness.
There is a danger attached to
wealth, the danger of forgetting God.
The rationing of certain items may
prove to be blessing to all of us,
and especially to those who are of
the opinion that money can buy any
thing and as such is mans supreme
security. There is no harm in learn
ing that money has no real value, and
that all the riches in the world can
not buy even a pound of sugar, or
coffee, or any other commodity which
is either rationed or has been taken
out of production. Rich and poor
alike have been placed on equal
terms for the time being, at least as
far as these things are concerned.
Perhaps the poor can appreciate
this better than the rich?
It has not always been a matter
of easy convenience to keep that
pride down which is apt to accom-
pany exuberance, or the jealousy of
the unfortunate poor who feels him.
self displaced in unfair competition.
Yet gratitude can emerge only if heart
and mind are unconscious to such
inequality.
Luke quotes Jesus as saying, that
on the day, when the Son of Man
shall be revealed, let him that is on
the housetop, and his goods is in the
house, not 60 down to take it away.
can well understand that it shall
not be necessary to worry about ones
possessions, but am still not so sure
that under such circumstances my
first thought would not be the things
in the house.
However, let's try to be thankful
for it all, whether it be the good
things of the world or of the spirit
of God. There is a purpose back of
all things. In time, it may teach
us to appreciate not only the things
that we enjoy now, but also that
which we but dimly visualize in
moments of spiritual exaltation, and
may be apt to forget between times;
it is there we shall find the real value
which is to remain when our own
security has vanished.
