Millions of people will become
familiar with an unusual and
beautiful Madonna this Christmas
season. Actually it is just a part
of larger painting, Flight Into
Egypt, by Murillo, a 18th century
Spanish painter. The full picture
shows Joseph walking beside a
donkey on which Mary and the
baby Jesus are riding. The picture
is reproduced in full color on the
cover of the Christmas issue of
The Upper Room, daily devotional
guide.
That art speaks a language all
can understand is clearly demon
strated by this picture. Christians,
and many non-Christians, around
the world can interpret it for
themselves. On the covers of all
of the thirty-four editions of The
Upper Room the picture will tell
it's own story, but the name of the
publication and the text matter of
the dcvotions will be translated
into the % languages in which
this devotional guide circulates.

personal problems
and worries and In counting the
many things for which we are
thankful.
It Is good to take inventory
at least once . year, and to bow
our heads in gratitude and thanks
giving for the spiritual and ma
terial strength that sustains our
lives in a nation blessed by Divine
Providence.
We think Of Thanksgiving as an
American institution, originated
200 years ago by the Pilgrims, but
the Bible mentions thanksgiving
many times. In it Paul says, Let
YOUR requests be made known with
Thanksgiving" That Is, thanks TO
God should be given at least as
often as requests to God are made.
Thanksgiving Day is as truly
American as roast turkey, with
dressing, cranberry sauce and
pumpkin pie. In two centuries it
has not changed. THANK YOU has
become an established part OF our
language and customs.
AS a boy, at home, recall we
always said thank you for the
biscuits" or thank you for the
butter" instead of please pass"
All of us, of course, use thank
you" as an expression of apprecia-
ton.
As a nation of free people, we
are thankful that today we can
enjoy the democratic privileges of
freedom, peace and prosperity.
Those are blessings enjoyed by the
people of few nations in the world.
Earlier this month we chose our
local, state and national public
officials to preserve and administer
our democratic system of govern
ment. We did it in the true spirit
of democracy and without violence
or bloodshed.
Freedom and democracy are
priceless possessions. Once they
are lost, the price for regaining
them, as in parts of Europe, Asia
and Africa today, is q fearful one
to pay. And yet the people pay It
with their lives If necessary.
Our material wealth and income
is unequalled anywhere else in the
world. With more than 81 million
people employed, we have a ma
tional income of over $4OO billion
this year.
Although farmers have not
shared as fully as others in that
tremendous growth of prosperity,
they have maintained the most
productive farming system in the
world, and the future looks
brighter.
When we compare farming today
with when I was a boy we have
much for which to be thankful.
Much of the drudgery has been
taken out of life on the farm, and
in the farm home, through modern
conVenienceS such as power ma
Chinery, electricity and other ad-
Vancements in science.
Automobiles, good roads. radio,
televiSion, running water in the
home, more and better educational
opportunities, are only a few of
the things that make life on the
farm more satisfying and reward
ING.
With only about SO Of the
worlds population, Americans
own tWo-thirds of all automobiles,
have more than one-half of all
paved roads, use one-third of all
electricity, own three-fourths Of
all television sets, and have better
homes and more modern con-
veniences than any other nation.
In world where violence and
revolution exist or are threatened,
we have dedicated ourselves and
our nation to maintaining peace.
Second only to freedom and dem
ocracy, it is priced blessing for
which we are thankful.
