Notice!
Taxis “Offer unto Cod thankagiving.”—
Psalms, 1:14. '
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." As individuals or as a people

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.
