The person does not exist who la without something to be thankful for. One who Is appreciative In a sma.l way for the bestowal of favors has, at least,- augmentation to his thankfulness In the fact that he is not under obligation to return as well as to be grateful for large ones. Are you unhappy? Bo thankful that there are plenty to console and more to advise you if only an opportunity Is afforded them. Have you poor eyesight? Be thankful that you are spared seeing more than is good for you and that you have an excellent excuse for faiilng to perform many of the small obligations of life. Are your eyes perfect? Bo thankful that you need not contribute to the support of oculists and opticians. Are you thin? Be thankful that jou are not as the fat, who obstruct the door to progress In many ways and places. If you are fat, be thankful. The stout woman, for example, always looks comfortable and is usually good tempered, no matter what her feelings and disposition may be. Are you beautiful ?x Be thankful that you are able to fulfill every earthly desire with no more effort than is requirea 10 buumuu a aumv v? i ward for those who flock to serve you. Do you lack beauty? Bo thankful 1 that you are not harassed by the fear of losing your good looks until worry has written Its unsightly lines all over your face. If you enjoy the reputation of a wit, ; be thankful; for all persons who have wlis are not witty, and one who Is never lacks companionship or admlr- , ers. Have you a home? Be thankful that wherever you go there accompanies you the knowledge that your own door is always open to you, no matter what the position of other doors may be. If you are a married woman be thankful that you need never suffer, like heroines of romance, from suppressed emotions and overcharged feelings. You have always at hand one upon whom you can vent the one and to whom you may charge the other. You are secure in the stronghold of Irresponsibility. Are you a married man? Rejoice that thero llveB at least one person in \ the world who secretly believes that you are now or at least once were a paragon of perfection. Do you add "spinster" to your legal signature? I^et your sotl be filled with thankfulness that your especial domains may bo kept tidy and furbelowed to a degree neither appreciated nor tolerated by the masculine mind. Remember that a maiden may, If she likes, try on many engagement rings and still enjoy the feminine prerogative of falling to keep the contracts these imply. Are you rich? Pe thankful, for your opportunities to enrich the lives of others are many and even your enemies will kowtow to yo^. Are you poor? Rejoice, for those whose pleasures aro few and bought with an effort are best equipped heartily to enjoy them. Persons who have neither money nor possessions are not harassed by the fear of losing them nor troubled by fluctuations in the world of finance. Have you youth? Pe grateful for it. Nothing is impossible for youth to attempt, and it is from the exploitations of youth that sages draw their i Finally, If you r.re old. be thankful. Age confers privileges vhlch nothing else ever bestows. It is pleasant to be able to tell other people how to bring up their children properly, whether you ever brought up acy yourself or not, and to arrogate to yourself, and sometimes express, all the wisdom which years are supposed to garner. HIS THEOF Y. Ethel?Why is the :urkey regarded no ocnurUllv nnnronriato for Thanks giving? Hoi}?Because any one who can afford to buy turkeys taeso days has reason to be thankful. True Thankfulness. Where true thankfuluess is there can be no selfishness;. For the honestly thankful man must be filled with a sense of his o.vn unworthiness to enjoy the gcod thi lgs that come to him. Humility must nark his attitude toward his own blpssings. The next itep is to share them as far as this hiay ho done with others less fortunate though quite as worthy as himself. Her Sacred Joke.

"You are sure 6he intends to ask us?" "Yes," Mr?. Lawler returned. "Just as I was leaving town I met her on the street She spoke of our being neiglrbors, and then she told me that she was going to ask you all out to an old-fashioned Thanksgiving dinner. I wouldn't have mentioned It, but I supposed that you had your Invitation." "It would be fine to go there," Marlea remarked. "Her pumpkin pies are about three Inches deep, and her turkeys are always oooked to a Titian brown and her cranberhy sauce Is so delicious?" The youngest of the Maddox family was overcome by the fervor of this description. "Oh, let's all go to Aunt Barbara's for Thanksgiving!" he cried. "But I had hinted to Mary Thomas that we might ask her here," said his mother. "Somebody else Is sure to aBk Mary," declared Marlon. "We have tickets for the Thanksgiving matinee." "Take 'em back."

"I don't see how I can get away," Mr. M*\ddox said. Hut Mrs. Maddox had gone o v to the enemy, and she proceeded to nw how they eould all leave the city s on Wednesday afternoon and ret early on Friday morning, send regrets to the Grangers, return their matinee tickets and defer Mary Thomas' dinner Invitation until Christmas time. "After all, Aunt Barbara is getting old and we ought to make an effort to go," Maddox said. So all the details were arranged and the family settled back in a state of expectancy, awaiting the written invitation. Every day the youngest Maddox met the postman, demanding a letter from his great aunt, but the days passed, and none came. During the last week before the holiday the Interest of the family became almost feverish. Four days before the feast Mrs. Maddox spoke of writing a note to AUnt Barbara accepting the alleged Invitation conveyed by Mrs. Lawler. But the others argued that if Aunt Barbara had forgotten to send a formal invitation, she was not expecting a formal acceptance. "She takes silence for consent, and she's too busy making pies to write," Jack said. The day before Thanksgiving came around, but no letter from Aunt Barbara. The family held council at breakfast. "Of course, she expects us." Marion observed. "She's absent-minded, and she probably wrote a letter and stuck it behind the clock, waiting for somebody to go to the postofllce." It was agreed that Maddox and Jack should return early from the office, then they would all take an eveulng train to the country and drop In on their aunt Just at bedtime. Mrs. Maddox told the cook and housemaid that they could go away Immediately after lunch and not return until Friday. The Maddox family were almost ready for the train when the postman left a letter in Aunt Barba:a'9 cramped writing.

The man who scoffs at an idea or doctrine which he does not fully understand has at least the courage to show where he stands. The gospel of Health has many converts who formerly laughed at the idea that coffee and tea, for example, ever hint anyone. Upon looking into the matter seriously, often at the suggestion of a friend, such persons have found thatPoslum and a friend's advice have been their salvation. "My sister was employed in an eastern city where she had to do calculating," writes an Okla. girl. "She suffered with headache until she was almost unfitted for duty. "Her landlady persuaded her to quit coffee and use Postum and in a few days she was entirely free from headache." (Tea is Just as injurious as coffee because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) "She told her employer about it, and on trying it, be had the same experience. "My father and I have both suffered much from nervous headache since I can remember, but we scoffed at the idea advanced by my sister, that coffee was the cause of our trouble. "However, we finally quit coffee and began using Postum. Father has had but one h?adache now in four years, due to a severe cold, and I have lost my headaches and sour stomach, which I am now convinced came from coffee. "A cup of good, hot Tostum is satisfying to me when I do not care to eat a meal. Circumstances caused me to locate in a now country and 1 feared I would not be able to get my favorite drink.

Director of Evening Department The Moody Bible In. stltute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 24 THE TRANSFIGURATION. LESSON' TEXT?Mark 9:2-13. GOLDEN' TEXT?"A voice Jirao out of j the cloud, saying. This is my beloved Son: j hear yo Him."?Luke 9:35 R. V. 1. On the Mountain, vv. 2-6.?Peter's confession is connected closely with the lesson for today. There is no record of the intervening "six days." We are left to surmise what of fear Mid perplexity filled the minds of the disciples after listening to the words of Jesus found in Mark 8:34 ana ?:i. These words must certainly have filled them with doubt and dismay. As if to meet this condition of mind Jesus takes Peter, Jaines and John, tn-jse three partners in business, who w?ire also present in the home of Jalrus, and later went with him into the garden, and withdrew to a mountain, probably Mt. Hermon. Here he was transformed, i.e., metamorphosed, completely changed in appearance; read carefully the parallel accounts. Paul's inspired Words. Joined with Jesus there stood Moses the law-giver and Elijah the great reform prophet. What a commentary as to the interest of heaven in a dying Messiah and in the glory of that death. We need to read Paul's inspired words (Phil. 2:6.7) in this connection. Ho who thought it not a prize to be grasped after to be equal with God, yet took upon himself the form of a slave and was made in the habit or fashion of a man. Upon the mountain Jesus reversed the figure and the "servant"?the Son of Man revealed, e. g.( showed forth, the glorious appearance of the Son of God. The disciples there caught a faint glimpse of that glory which he had with the Father before the world was (John 17:5). But the work of redemption wbs not yet accomplished, and so once more he turns back upon that glory. Small wonder, though, that as they beheld these heavenly visitors Peter should exclaim: '"Rabbi, It Is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles (booths), one for thee, one for Moses and one for Elijah." Notice, however, that Peter spake "for he wist not what to say" (v. 6). Mark alone records these words, and Mark largely received his gospel from Peter. Peter should have kept still. Some revelations are too sacred for speech. Paul had such a one. But while the mount of vision Is glorious, Jesus knew the need of crystalizing that vision in the lives of those In the valley below. There was work yet to be done (vv. 14, 15). Luke tells us that the transfiguration came "as he was praying." So even yet there Is no greater transfiguring and transforming power than prayer. Moses and Elijah appeared "in glory," whereas Matthew tells ub that "his face did shine as the sun" (17:2). This was not a reflected glory, but the outshining from within. Three Heavenly Voices Heard. We have only to read 2 Peter, 1:1G18 to answer any question as to this being a vision in the modern acceptance of that term. We are also told that the word "vision" found In verse 9 of the lesson can bo translated, "things seen." Indeed the disciples were "fully awake" (Luke 9:32 R. V.). The question as to how the disciples could recognize Moses and Elijah, whom they had never seen, is not at all difficult for the believer. They appeared "in glory" and when the glory was withdrawn they saw "no man save Jesus." This also serves to help answer the question, "Shall we recognize in glory those whom we have lost awhile?" Three heavenly voices were heard. Jesus' voice in prayer, his compan* ? ? I ? ~ trroo t pvpnt ions cunverauift ui iua? ...... jet to bo accomplished (Luke 9:31) and the voice of (2od, "This is my be-1 loved (only begotten) Son; hear him." What matters the opinions of earth's greatest lawyers and prophets, or the suggestions of our dearest friends, "Hear him." That Is the crux of the heavenly message: "Hear him," as teacher, observe him as an example, accept bim as Saviour and obey him as Lord and Master. Fear fell upon them and they fell upon their faces in humiliation, but with tender compassion Jesus said "arise and be not afraid." It almost seems like a rebuke to Peter, who had so freely protested against the suggestion of the manner of his death. Jesus' transfiguration and the words of his companion, as well as the command of the Father, were a vindication of his authority and a revelation in advance of the supreme wonder of the cross. Arising they "saw no man save Jesus." It is far better to "see him" than to see, hold converse with, or have communion with, the greatest of earth, past or present. 2. The descent, v. 9:13.?As they descended from the mountain Jesus charged them to 'ell no man. Very different from our modern method. Hut the need is clearly shown as wo read Peter's words (2 Peter, 1:15-21). Peter places great emphasis upon the importance of this experience, declaring himself as an eyewitness of his "majesty" as well as the "honor and glory." Peter and the others could not talk Intelligently of this experience until after Christ's work was "finished" upon Calvary, vindicated at the tomb and glorified on the day of Pentecost. Hence they "kept that saying with themselves," obeying his injunction of silence. On the return they caught some word about his rising from the dead, hence the question about the get urn of Elijah. Jesus tells them that Elijah had returned in the person of John the Baptist and that he had been rejected (see Matt. 17:11-13). There Is slight grounds for Impostors and insane people to apply these words to themselves. The transfiguration is a glorious fact; it is a wondrous light upon the | "scdndal of the cross:" a wonderful revelation of the glory which "he had before the world:" and it is a prophecy of the glory yet to be revealed. It served to help the disciples during those days of darkness and doubt through which they were about to pass and It has been an Inspiration to the Christian church throughout the subsequent ages. It is also a most significant warning "This is my son. my chosen; hear ye , Mm:" and a pronouncement upon his 1 work and office.
