THE FREE PRESS
President Coolidge, in sending a
letter the other d^y to the celebration
of the 200th anniversary of New
York’s first newspaper, the New York
Gazette, remarked that the American
prefes has always been an inconveni
ence to bigotry and oppression and an
aid to free thought and aspiration.
If people ask the- newspapers to
accept certain fixed standards of
thought, or bow down to those who are
wealthy and powerful, there is some
thing in the newspaper mind that re
volts.
Newspaper people have plenty of
faults, and admit it. But they chose
their calling orginally, not because
they thought it was the most money
making profession, for it is far from
that. They chose it because thejr liked
the chance for expression of thought.
When they give that chance ■ away,
they throw away the thing they chose
their work for and might as well
“close up shop.” There is not much
danger that the press,'some fear,
will ever be “controlled.’ v 4y
way to thik present day wild feast
and pleasure-seeking day. Perhaps
the children in school-particularly the
smaller ones, come closer to getting
the real spirit of Thanksgiving than
we older ones, for in learning of the
ials and hardships of the Pilgrim
Fathers they imbibe something of the
spiritual outlook.
Is it too much to grant our Creator
one day oK{Jie year to pause in our
pleasure and nmney-seeWng existence
and thank Hini'Cor all the ^blessings
which He continually showers upon
us—blessings more often than not, un
deserved ? We have nordmcarded the
Thanksgiving turkey, why^sjiould we
discard the real Thanksgiving spirit ?
Before we enter into the true Spirit
of the day it is necessary to put aw
our hatreds, our grouches and discon
tents and selfishness and center our
thoughts upon the blessings that have
ccme our *way. If one would give
thanks he must rer.iiz.' the fact of
having been blessed, and in doing so
he minimizes the misfortunes he has
' experienced. The pessimist is in no
position to give thanks. He knows
nothing of the word gratitude.
This Thanksgiving season, if enter
ed into in the old-fashioned, intended
way, will be a blessing to us all. It
will mean not only an occasion when
we may think of others, but we may
express our gratitude to the Most
High for His cares and kindness of
the past^ but likewise a time when
by marshaling our blessings before us
we are inspired with new hope and
courage for the future.

THANKSGIVING PRAYER
Our Heavenly Father, wO x thank
Thee for Thine unfailing mercy^de-
spite our waywardness and for Thine
abounding providences even though
we have been so unforgetful of Thee
and of Thy love. We thank Thee that
Thou hast so often put the angel with
the drawn sword across our pathway
when we have been bent on doing
evil and on having our own way. Like
as a father pitieth his children. Thou
hast pitied us and we have received
goodness upon goodness,‘'"and beauty
upon beauty out of the rich, eventful
year which has passed away-forever
Now that the football season is clos
ing, our colleges will get back to nor
mal again. ,
With Christmas coming, this is the
ihe of the year when ever
gins to be good to father.
Another trouble with a fast young
man is that he is usually slow pay.
Speaking of Jucky boys, what about
the one whose father owns a filling
station ?
The trouble with taking things as
they come is that you don’t know who
may be watching.
Often we have looked upon the clouds,
and dewed the flowers on the new-
made mounds with our tears, but as
a mother comforteth her children
Thou didst comfort us. In all our ex
periences Thy grace has been suffici
ent for us. We bless Thee, our Father,
and pray that Thou wilt still lead u?
on over whatever way may prove to
be our future path. We thank Thee
for our homes, our country, our
churches and our friends. We thank
Thee that we have had strength and
a task for those who love us, and
whom we love. Grant it unto us that
we may live in Thy light .and truth
as a nation, as families, as churches
and as individuals, and that thus the
way may ever grow brighter for us
and for the world. Ever give us, if
Thou will it, work and flowers, and
friends with laughter and love. If it
must be otherwise with us, grant us
the strength still to sing and be glad.
And may our whole life on earth be
a service to Thee and to our fellow*
men and then will our heaven be an
eternity of thanksgiving. Through
Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen,—Chris
tian Herald.

A.t our appraoching commencement
we look forward for an address from
Prof. James H. Thorn well (HI) of
Winnsboro. The Thornwell Orphan-
was named for his grandfather,
father was a devoted friend of th&
institution and we are pleased to in
troduce the third of that illustrious
name to our orphans, where for his
own and for his ancestors’ sake, he
will be a very welcome guest.
The death of Rev. Dawson Henery
on the 13th of June, brought sorrow
to the hearts of the orphan household
at Clinton, which he loved so well, and
where many years of his life was
spent. He had passed through a long
and trying spell of sickness, during
which he manifested a lively desire to
live if it might be God’s will, but at
the same time giving evidence of a
faith in God that all would be well, no
matter wfiat the outcome might be.
His death ends a very promising
career. He had been in the ministry
only five yfears, his first charge being
at Malden, W. Va., whence a year or
two ago he was transferred to the
pastorate of his church at Charleston,
W. Va. Four year? ago he was mar
ried in the First Presbyterian church
of Greenville, to Miss Ophelia Bailey.
His wife as well as himself, was a
pupil of the Thornwell Orphanage.
The love they had for their home is
shown in the name, Thornwell, that
they gave to their oldest child. Mr.
Henery’s death was deeply regretted
in Clinton where he was long K tati-
dent and where he was always a fav
orite. He was born at Charleston, S.
C., and died at. Charleston, W. Va. It
ifc indaad a mystery of Providence that
the pain was steady. At night toy
kidneys acted too freely. Between the
backache and disordered kidneys, J
didn’t get my regular rest and felt
oat of sorts. I used Doan’s Pills from
Smiths Pharmacy and they quickly
rid me of the trouble.**

THANKSGIVING
Another year has rolled around and
once more the season of Thanksgiving
is upon us. Each year, we of the old
generation face this season with • a
slight sting of .regret, not because the
years have not brought us much to be
thankful for, but because thfe Thanks
giving of our younger days, the
Thanksgiving of our fathers, is fast
Incoming a tradition.
We realize that it shows a lack of
progress to hark back constantly to
things of the past and to regret the
innovations which the present is con
stantly bringing us. But surely it
shows no lack of progress to ke loathe
to part with one thing urkil we have
something better to substitute in its
place, and we cannot see tl^at the
present day Thanksgiving is in any
way a fit substitute for the one we
used to know.
There is no doubt that the human
race has advanced during the past de
cade, physically and mentally. In
fact, most of us have become so suffi
cient unto ourselves that in a measure
we have forgotten about that Infinite
Force which controls the world, a
Power far greater than we can. con
ceive which permits us to enjoy the
many privileges of life upon thisf
^ earth. But this power does exist and
it ia only by getting closer to it, that
we can hope to make any spiritual
leadway.
