' G RATITUDE for favors nnd bless- Jngs received is the warrant for blessings and favors yet to come. In our individual nnd corporate Hfe nothing is more disheartening or disappointing tlran ingratitude. It wss this that made King Leur ct-y out: “How sharper than a serpent's tooth It is to irave a thankless child!” Failure to acknowledge gifts and blessings conferred not only chills the heart of tire benefactor, hut works to the hurt of the beneficiary. To be thankful for favors big or little is a mark of refinement and an evidence of good breeding, We hove often noted that those who are the quickest to respond to a favor conferred are those who have the finest feelings. An ex pression of cordial ami deep apprecia tion is like oil Unit lubricates the ma chinery of life. Like the gift of mercy, “it blesses him who gives and hifn who takes." To remember daily the gifts that God bestows upon, us serves to make us more conscious of the real values of, life. The mere expression in prayer of gratitude deepens in us not only our sense of dependence upon God, but-gives .us a finer sense, of our own place of usefulness in the scheme of life. e When a nation is called, as we are, to recognize a day of thanksgiving, it serves to emphasize our solidarity and the richness of our common heritage, and at the same time brings vividly before us our common dependence upon him who is the giver of every good and perfect gift. It was the Roman Emperor Constantine who said to the sculptor who was carving his figure, “I wish you to carve the figure kneel ing, in the attitude of prayer, for It was from that posture I rose to great ness."

The Figure Kneeling, in the Attitude of Prayer. we never have a truer consciousness of our corporate life and our intimate Interrelationships than when we kneel to acknowledge the gifts and hferRtngs that we commonly receive. Thus, Thanksgiving day. rightly Interpreted, places fresh emphasis not only upon the source of all our blessings, hut compels us to recognize the closeness of the tie that binds us together in a great fellowship. It is the family day of the nation. It reminds ns that we are bound together "for better or worse, for richer or poorer," and that what affects one section for good or 111 affects all. V H It Is a demonstrable fact that-noth ing brings as closer together In a great fellowship than a spirit of thankful ness. When we are over-self-confident and self-assured: when. In the lan guage of the ancient Word, we declare, "My power nnd the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth," we lose oiir sense of Interdependence one, with another and the deeper conscious ness of our common dependence upon God. How frequently in households where the patrimony is dispensed to the children do we find Tbntit creates spect and affection. Again, how fre quently in households where adversity and misfortune have come do we dis cover the knitting of the ties of kin ship and the evidence of deepened af fection. America on tins Thanksgiv ing day must acknowledge with grati tude another year of unprecedented blessings. Widely scattered ns our peoples are. diverse as are their In terests, they are the sharers of a com mon bounty. Surely at such a time and under such conditions it is fit ting that we should unite to “offer unto God thanksgiving." The very act of corporate thankfulness tends to break down that which all too fre quently divides us into groups nnd classes; it effaces distinctions and makes of the nation itself one great family. Thus the spirit of thankful ness. becomes indispensable to our security, our peace and prosperity. We may worship , at different altars, we may express our 'devotions in ways familiar to us. we may have fellow ships that have grown dear and help ful to us, but on our national Thanks giving day we bow as one people be fore the “Giver of every good and per feet gift” and with humility recognize his bounty and our common dependence ; \upon his goodness.
