To-morrow ls the day sot apart as a day on which it is meet and proper for the people of this country to pause and think, and render I hanks unto an All-wise, merciful and om nipotent Ruler for tho blessings and comforts that have como to us Indi vidually and as a people. Each successive year brings this annual message from the Chief Mag istrate of the United States and the Governors of most of tho states in tho Union-tho pei pel nat ion of a beautiful custom handed down from the early days of our country. As a people wc have been marvel ously prosperous and wonderfully Messed from tho early days down to ihe present. Here and there, from tho beginning to tho present time, In dividuals have boon called to pass through sore trials, adversity, mis fortune; here and there cities and sections of our land have been scourged by lire or parched hy drought, and loss of life and property have followed; other calamities have befallen a few, and at limes lt has seemed i hui the lowering clouds Mere ready tr. envelop us. Then has come again the bright sunshine of prosperity, and the mists ?d' adversity have disappeared from about us, and once again we were constrained to raise our vol ?a with the words of the Psalmist. "Bless the Lord. () my soul, and all that is within nie bless His holy name: Bless the Lord, O raj soul, and forget not all bis bene fits." Days there nave been thai were dark and dreary, and for every such a day : ho sun has shone a thousand fold brighter, and wc were the better lor them. Lot us give thanks, tin n. not alone to-morrow, but. throughout our lives, for the goodness and mercy of tho Lord, who knows our every want and wno gives us every good tljing that we have. Too often we attribute to Cpd our misfortunes and to ourselves our blessings. Have we a misfortune? Let us trace it oui, ami when we have dorie so we will lind that our trouble arises from having "done those tilings which we ought not to have done," or having "left undone those things which we ought to have lon, " lu the future lei tis think and rea son, and we will be thankful. True there are those of us who have much ess than our follows, yoi the mean est and poorest of us has a thou sand-fold more than he deserves. What ls man tipil Cod is inindia] of bim'.'" And yoi the thousand bless ings thal come to us each day ari' forceful reminders Dial He is mind ful ol' us and thai we are His crea tures. Our very lives are In His hands, and they are at His pleasure. Hot us slop and think, and we .will Iben enter upon the true spirit of Thanksgiving, and praise will ascend to Him for all Ilia, goodness ami mercy unto us.
