"To my mind the noblest holiday In the world Is Thanksgiving. And
next the Creator there le no one the holiday ahould be dedicated to aa much
as to mother*."—Abraham Lincoln.
PASS ON THE JOY
OF THANKSGIVING
Making Other* Qlad Should Be
Considered One of the Chief
Outlet of the
Seaton.
I TS the easiest thing In the world
to look for trouble and to find it
watting, grim and terrible, for
your search It Isn't very hard to
eount your blessings In a negative
sort of way, by saying. “Tea. It * very
•lee, bat It could be much nicer." H e
galte the eeual thing to hear folk com-
plain—and complaining If heard more
d thankfulness
tall us—a llttla over three
hundred years ego a band of eturdy.
venturesome Christian folk were very
thankful Indeed and praised their Lord
fervenUy over e handful of parched
eon and a bit of unlaavened broad.
Ones a year are set apart a day. con
secrated to their memory, end try to
throw aside the custom! and complain
ings of the world as «e know It. Wa
gather together -families of us —and
eat turkey and plum pudding; we talk
of common places end sometimes we
feet bored and tired. Yet we are sup
posed to bg celebrating.
We have bushels of things to be
glad for thla veer—hundreds; It seems
more than we ever had. As we offer
ttp our bleeclngs It won't be hard to
remember
£tea than praise
Tel—so they
'monpiacee ft may help us U> think of
other families In other countries that
are fighting and dying on blood stained
battlefields. As we hear the crisp No
vember wind banging In the trees, we
ought to be mighty thankful that It
Isn't the sound of cannon and bugles
and screams that we re hearing Oh,
friends of mine, It won't be very hard
to be thankful this year!
As I was walking down Fourth ave
nue a few days ago I was thinking,
with my head tn the clouds, of many
things; thinking so hard that I did
not notice exactly where my feet were
taking me. It was only when I stum
bled against a little boy who was run
ning around a corner that I came
down to earth with a bump.
"Oh! I’m so sorry,” I said. “Did I
hurt you?”
"Dat’s a’ right, lady,” said the little
boy with a dirty Raphael-cherub grin.
"I was only running!’’
“Oh!”—he was lingering at my side, I
•o I felt it necessary to make conver
sation—"you were running—playing
something?"
“Huh!" the little boy grunted
beatlflcally as he pulled up one ragged
stocking. “Oh, no; I was Jus’ running
fer fun."
His little face crinkled with smiles
again and he trotted on out of my
sight
Just running for fun, for the pure
Joy of living. A little boy with noth
ing else to make him happy—and yet
a number of us frown and fret In the
midst of all sorts of pleasures.
* I was talking to a chum of mine not
long ago. and some way our conversa
tion drifted around to Thanksgiving
time, and our Interpretation of the
day.
“It’s all wrong!" said my chum
earnestly, “all wrong!"
“Why?" I asked curiously. Tm al
ways thankful for my blessings on
Thanksgiving; ap are moot people.
Why ie K all wrangf"

God complacently for our ksrr—Is
and our food, and our clothes, end hie
love. Isn’t It so?"
“Yes.” I admitted.
"Well.” continued the girl, "the Pil
grims did that, too, yean ago. Bat
they did not stop there. After they
thanked God for their own blessings
they tried to pass on the Joy to teik
lees fortunate than they were. They
even Invited the Indians, beings that
they bad every rssaon to be afraid of.
Into their homes and gave them a lit
tle of the season’s cheer. They kept
Thanksgiving.”
‘Then"—! was choosing my words
rather carefully—"then your Idea le
not to be thankful yourself—only to
give someone else a eheaea to ha
thankful r
"But." asked the girl softly. "Jeat
that the right wey to be thankful?"
Isn't It? i i -I t 1'
iTs a TVry easy thlag to pass along
the outside of life without even dip
ping down Into the depths, and ever eo
many people do It because It le the
•saleat way. Somehow It la hard to
oonvtaoe folk that things that tear at
their heartstrings are the things that
they should see and know. If* mighty
•say to eat our Thankaglvlag dinners
without e thought of our brothers end
sisters who are starving on some other
street In the tame city, and It's only
because It is so much easier. I reckon,
that people do forget to pass a bit of
their plenty and peace.
But. aa I write, I can't help thinking
of filled tooverflowtng baskets that
I have seen In missions, of eager chil
dren grasping fat turkeys, of mothers
crying happy tear* over coal and wood
mind slip awhy
tables sad the
the cheerful^ com-
ountrf, to tke
Ireafy homes In Europe that are being
brightened because the people of thla
land were willing—yes. more than
willing—to share their blessings with
others.
Oh. friends of mine, it’s the easiest
thing In the world to look for trouble,
and It isn’t very hard to find people
who are fretting and crying and count
ing their blessings In a negative sort
of way Instead of just being happy.
But somehow, when we stop to look
around us and think, the world seems
to be a pretty nice place at Thanks
giving time.—Margaret E. Sangster,
Jr., In Christian Herald.

In calling the attention of the public to our new drug
store (opening date to be announced later ), we wish to lay
special stress on our prescription department. Purity in
drugs is vastly more important than even purity in foods,
because when sickness comes the full effect of the medicine
must be had. We warrant absolutely that our drugs will
be thoroughly up to the standard. No adulteration here.
In filling prescriptions, our two licensed pharmacists will
use the utmost care to follow the doctor’s directions. No
guess work. No substitution of other medicines in place of
those he orders for his patients.
OUR SODA FOUNT
will be a model of cleanliness and sanitation. Only the
highest class fruits and syrups will be used. Hot and cold
drinks at all hours.
