will certainly not be human. =

Well, that's the dark side of the
picture. But it isn't all black by any
means. There is much that is highly
encouraging on the opposite side of
the canvas of life as it is being lived
today We can console ourselves
with the knowledge that evil and
wrong have always been powerful,
and probably no more so today than
in former times. Thoughtful and
righteous men are today striving as
never before to free the world of
the horror of war. There are good
reasons to- hope that fear of the
atomic bomb and its utter destruc-
tiveness may force nations to live
together on this earth without war.
One sees universal generosity, a
kindness of heart that only requires
that human need be pointed out to
it to call forth an immediate and
nation wide and most generous re-
Spouse. Despite the hatreds of war,
one can discern that all mankind is
slowly being bound together by a
spirit of brotherhood. Charity today
has no national boundaries. 1t is
worldwide.
Atheism may be rampant; crime
and evil of all sorts may be wide
spread. But the contending forces of
right are also on the march. Despite
the dark forebodings of the pessi-
mistic Wells, the mind of man is not
at the end of its tether. 1t is just on
the brink of discoveries that give
promise of creating a new and a
much better World-a new and in
comparably better social order.
Therefore let us not abandon hope
nor give up our enthusiasms Today
in this day of thanksgiving let us
give thanks for the vision we can
see of the coming of a better world,

Reasons For
Thanksgiving in q
Perplexing Time
By ChaS. ID. Rowe

The grateful people of this nation
are supposed to raise their hearts
today in sincere thanks to a kindly
Providence for the many manifest
blessings He has bestowed on them.
Thousands will do so in real sin
Probably more thousands will only
see in the holiday an occasion for
feasting and gay celebrating If
their hearts give thanks at all, it
will only be in an obscure way to
something they know not what
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1945-11-22
nor do they care.

nor do they care.
There are many reasons today
for unalloyed thanksgiving for those
who have genuine gratitude in
their hearts. There is the joyous
thankfulness that the carnage, hor-
ror and heartache of war are for
the most part ended. We can be
thankful that not more of our brave
young men are to be sacrificed to
wars dreadful toll; that the number
of those who fail to return is not to
be larger Peace should and will
bring a great thankfulness.
And of course there are all the
usual reasons why all of us should
give thanks. Comfort and abund-
ance are our lot. The love and COM
partnership of friends and dear ones
give JOY and an uplift to life.
Thankfulness wells upward for the
rt-lifting beauties of nature, and
for the generous abundance of a
prolific land. Surely Americans
shuold sing glad paen of gratitude
on this unusually meaningful day
of thanksgiving.
As these songs of thanksgiving as
cend to the Divine Creator, may we
imagine what his thoughts must be
as he looks down from his heaven
on muddled and struggling human
ity? What an awful mess has the
human race made of the opportuni-
ties placed in their hands A world
war has just ended in which people
that were supposed to be civilized
have committed acts of unspeakable
and almost unimaginable atrocity,
cruelty and horror. Men and wo-
men have committed the most awful
cruelties against those Of their own
kind-cruelties that in their horror
chill the very blood in ones veins.
A war in which we find mass mur-
der planned as a calculated policy.
A war in which the utmost in fiend-
ishness and suffering is justified as
proper military strategy. Not a
pleasant picture.
And turning our eyes from the
contest of nations, what do we find
at home? While thousands give true
thanks, other thousands live their
lives apparently on the principle so
aptly expressed in 'eat. drink and
be merry for tomorrow we die. :
Debauchery IS common. We see our
women, in their neW-found freedom
and equal rights (2). croWding the
men from the saloon bars, sucking
away at cigarettes and abandoning
their one-time virtue. We see.
drunken women staggering down
our streets. We see a nation worried
by its juvenile crime problems.
All of which casts black cloud
of pessimism over even mind of
great learning. Read what the great
r. G. Wells recently wrote in his
Mind at the End of Its Tether.' as
reported in late issue of Time
Magazine.
Homo sapiens, as he has been
pleased to call himself is. in his
present form, played out The stars
in their courses have turned against
man and he has to give place to
some other animal better adapted
to the fate that closes in The new
animal may be Of an entirely alien
strain. or may arise as new modi-
fication of the man specles-but it
