THANKaCIVINC PUAYBK
Our HearenJy Father, we thank
Tliee fox Thine uafailin^, mercy de
spite oiir waywardnosr. aod for Thine
abounding' providences e 'eu though
we have been so unfotgetful of Thee
and of Thy love. We thank Thee that
Thou hast so often put the angei with
the drawn sword across our pathway
when we have been bent ou doing
evil and on having our own way. Like
as a father f»itietji his children Thou
hast pitied us and we have received
goodness upon gjoJnesr., and beauty
upon beauty out of the rich, even.fui
year which has passed away fore\er.
Often we have looked ujion the douds,
and dewed the flowers on thi* new-
made mounds with our tears, but as
a mother cuniforteth her children
tut you could : if you \%ould, see that
no little of it was due to your own
mistakes, your own lack of foresight,
your own desire to be more than you
are, your own desire to have what
someone else has, in short, that you
yourself have had a rather big part
in bringing about what is’ now so
irksome and chafing.
The child is a little animal, yes.
Its simple food and drink satisfies it.
yes. But you never see a little child
crying and fighting to lay iy> more
food and drinfc than it can consume.
“For everything”—that’s the state
of mind. Whether you are to have it
all for your own on this Thanksgiv
ing Day and enjoy it or whether you
are to fume and fret over the good
fortune of some one who has more or
over your “bad luck” in not getting
what you had your heart set on, this
depends on you, yourself.
This is Thanksgiving Day. What
is your state of mind?

Parents who allow their small chil
dren to play upon the streets are
daily running the risk of having them
run over by motor-driven vehicles.
The streets are public, of course, but
were not intended as a playground
for children. Drivers of motor vehi
cles are careful, as a rule, but there is
always a chance that they may be
looking in another direction and run
over some child using the streets as
a play place.

The little.gjri took it very well and
was soon back at play in the room, all
intent on what to her was the most
important thing in the world at that
time, how to make a very ragged doll
dress meet around a doll much too
large for the dress and after a time
she began singing. It was one of the
little songs she had heard an older
sister sing. Tlu* sister had learned it
in the first grade or perhaps it was
in the Sunday School. The first
line of'the chorus was about all sh<
knew but she kept singing that line
ever and over again and this is what
rt was:
“Father, we thank thee.”
And you would never guess unless
you heard her just how much varia

earnestness she could put into that
r.ne line she kept singing over and
ever.

Pity the man with no sense of gra-
titude or appreciation in his soul at
this Thanksgiving season. All of us,
without exception, have something to
be thankful for. Blessings innifmer-
able are ours if we will but take time
in the daily rush of life to hunt for
them.
Some of us go through life without,
ever being able to get one wife, but
not so with Zora Agrah, the world’s

life he has had five wives. His pres

is too old and is looking for a young-

Marriages, as compared with divor
ces, are falling off in the United
States. The Census Bureau shows
that in 1923 the number of divorces
increased 12 per cent, the number of
marriages only 8 per cent piore than
the previous year. That isn’t good
news.
Mr. Hungerford writes to this col
umn asking for a definition of the
great “social problem” of the present
day. The greatest problem is to make
a real success of the average mar
riage.
The fault, of course, is with men.
It will take several centuries, prob
ably, to educate them up to’ the only
kind of life worth while.
