The Courier o 111 cc, along willi ever.\ other business house in Wal halla, will bc closed on Thursday, j Thanksgiving Day. Let us all ob serve thc day in a manner titling the j occasion. li is Hue thal lhere is much om-i bal ra.- s men i ai present ill the South owing to the depression In our staple product; it is true that we all lind i more or less depression In business, with new situations to face and new problems to solve; it is true that a measure of our prosperity bas for the time being been retarded. Such reverses have come at various times during tho history of our country; , they will collie again. We are hut facing difllculties thal our Ion-fath ers have faced and overcome. Those who follow ms will meet simi lar obstacles In their paths, alfil the} will overcome thom just as we will overcome ours, and he belter and wiser for the conflicts. How much we have to he thankful for! We have bul a depression of price of a staple product. Contrast this with the late of oar fellow beings in Belgium, facing starvation, a deso lated country, destroyed homes their all mme thrown upon thc Charit} Of t lie world for a bai e exist ence. We have a groat and prosperous country, at peace with God and the inhabitants of tho world. Contrast this condition with thal of langland. Germany, Prance, Austria, Russia with ali the na 'ona now at war. We have lu 'his year -we bear every year abo, is time-the ques tion asked, "Wnat have I to be thankful for ?" In one word the question can bo ?nswered by every true American "Everything." The best way to find oui the things which we have to he thankful for Is to look about us, noar and far, and contrast our condition with our fellow-men at home and abroad. With world events passing rapidly by these days, no citizen of tho United States should find thal degree of Ingratitude In his heart to ask, "For what have I to be thankful?" Let Thanksgiving, 1914, bo the greatest Thanksgiving we have ever spent! Measured by our causes for thankfulness there has been none like it for many years. He thankful for the favor of peace and a wonderful measure of prosper ity; he thankful thal we have high oflicials who have steeled our conn to clear of international entangle ments thal might have brought us to '< straits similar to those ol Europe; 1 bo thankful that our nation is at least nominally Christian and is fostering with great care the great and Christ like principle of peace and good will to all mankind. Ali. what ls there that we have not to he thankful for? If we hut Stop io think we will lind that for every trial, every depri vation, every reverse that seems io face us, we have a thousand bless ings, and each greater than our greatest reverse. Truly our blessings, both as a nation and as individuals, are Inn intertable. Let 11 s follow the proclamation of our ['resident and unite in giving than'-., lo dod for His mercy and goodness to us.
