County Baptist Assn. Royal Ambassadors Service In Laurens EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Bishop Herbert Spoagh Our annual Thanksgiving Day is set apart by presidential proc lamation as a time when we are called upon as a nation and as a people to offer our thanks to Al mighty God for His blessings to us. It is to be hoped that the Su preme Court will not rule this out, for we have an increasing need of it. At least once a year the call for gratitude goes throughout the land. But the voic es of gratitude decrease. The more we have, the less grateful we become. Robrt Reynolds in his book, "In Praise of Gratitude," de scribes this as an age of resent ment. “There has been a flight of intelligence into the realms of de struction,” he writes. "The voic es of resentment are legion.” We are slowly and painfully beginning to learn that resent ment is the result of a negative attitude toward life. Further more, we have learned that it generates such a deadly poison in the emotional life that the body chemistry undergoes change and we become physical ly ill. Resentment is being tagged as deadly poison. Gratitude is one of the greatest of virtues and often the most Too Late To Classify WANTED: REAL ESTATE—De sirable real estate is still in de mand.

Overdue Hornage Since Thanksgiving Day this year will mark the 100th year that it has been observed as a national holiday it is fitting that special homage should be paid to the woman whose re lentless crusade established it as an official and uniform day of celebration. „ For 17 years, Sarah Hale, editor of "Godey's Lady’s Book," campaigned to unify the states in conunon observance of a day of thanks. Despite national contempt in the 19th century for feminine meddling in public affairs, not once did the tiny, but fiery and courageous woman abandon her cru sade. From 1846 to 1863 she pleaded with three presidents (Fill more, Pierce and Buchanan) and wrote countless editorials in her magazine, fighting for her cause. By 1849 several states were celebrating Thanksgiving sep arately; no two states observed the holiday on the same day. Three years later, in 1852, Mrs. Hale had succeeded in having 29 states Join in observing Thanksgiving on the last Thursday in November as a unified day of thanks. In 1863 her appeal to a great American crowned her cru sade in victory. Through a proclamation by President Abra ham Lincoln, the last Thursday in November was established as a day of national thanksgiving. while resentment 1 repels them. If you find your number of friends dwindling, take a look at your gratitude. Those Americans who have vis ited war-ravaged countries of Europe where religion is hp-ifd and the state is supreme come back with hearts filled with gratitude for what we have here. Don’t close this day without offering an humble prayer of gratitude to Almighty Qod for His blessings bestowed in such great abundance in this fAir land. And remember that part of your thanksgiving should be re-dedi cation to preserving this counter as a God-centered nation popu lated by God-serving people. neglected. When Jesus Christ was on earth it is recorded that He healed ten lepers. Only one returned to give thanks. The per centage today is no improvement over that of His day. Thanksgiving is a fundamental part of our living. It is to our spirit as oxygen is to our bodies. There is no finer tonic for the mind than a grateful heart. It not only adds to our physical well-being, but also draws people to us as friends rather than re pelling them as enemies. Grati tude is a vital necessity for all life. In addition thanksgiving opens the door to the power of prayer. Without gratitude our petitions become ineffective. St. Paul wrote, “In everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiv ing, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God which passeth all under- satnding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jes us.” Gratitude endears uf to others Mj Niighliors f “Mother—what buttons do 1 push to make a cake Just Uks you used to automate T" IF YOU DON’T READ THE CHRONICLE YOU DON’T GET THE NEWS PHONE SSS4M1 ^iiiir.iilllllllllllllilllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllRIliHHHl FOR SALE “Royal Ambassador Night” for the Laurens Baptist Asso ciation was held recently with the Second Baptist Church, Laursns. 198 boys, 64 adult leaders, and 19 pastors for a total of 931 were preeent, rep resenting 94 churches.
