ton of Independence which give
10 our nation its distinctive per-
sonality.
For ours is a country
grounded in religion and in that
document, which is the founda-
ton some of our national exist
ence, it was recognized that we
owe our freedoms not TO man
but 10 God. The declaration
begins:
when in the course Of hui
man events, IL becomes neces-
sary for one people to
assume among the powers Of
the earth. that separate and
equal station to which the laws
Of nature and OF natures God
entitled them :" and the
document closes:
"a. And for the support Of
this declaration, with n firm re-
lance on the protection of Di-
vine Providence. we mutually
pledge to each other our lives,
our fortunes, and our sacred
honor"
DERHAPS it has always been

turned TO God that we have

his decentralization.
We take our great men In
our stride and thank God they

No one has ever grasped the
spirit of the American Thanks

Lincoln. perhaps because among
our great men none stood before
God in deeper humility. In his
Thanksgiving message of 1863
he said 10 his people:

ents of the choicest bounties OF
Heaven; we have been preserved
these many years in peace and
prosperity; we have grown In
numbers, wealth and power rs
no other nation has ever grown.
But we have forgotten God. We
have forgotten the gracious
hand which preserved us In
peace and multiplied and en-
riched and strengthened US. and
We have mainly imagined, In
the deceitfulness Of our hearts,

In many cases it either makes
