MAY WE GIVE THANKS Today this great nation of ours will obserce Thanksgiving Day, a custom that is distinctly American. The United States is the only nation in the world that observes it. It is a part of our early American tradition that comes down to us from our Puri tan Fathers. They observed thii as a day of thanks to God for His goodness and His blessing^, always remembering that He was the giver of every good and perfect gift that tney enjoyed. And so, in that spirit, shall we not also pause to give thanks and count the many blessings that we enjoy. Never before in our lives have we come to realize just-how many things in this, our America, we have to be thankful for. We are so thnakful that we do not know what it is to be hun gry, in need of a place to sleep, and warm clothes to wear. When we think- of the countless thousands of women and children who have starved or frozen to death, we hang our heads in shame when we remember how we complain about the food that we have to eat, or because we do not have just every thing we want in the way of clothes. Let us give thanks that none of our mothers or sisters have had to suffer any of these horrible things. We are thankful for the Christian heritage that is ours. The Christian home, the Christian Church, and the Christian school. We are thankful for the Christian nation that is ours and the guarantee of liberty that we enjoy—in freedom of speech—free dom of press, and the right to elect our leaders without hin-, drance. Then, for our brave men in the armed forces who have left their homes, their jobs—everything—in order that we may con tinue to live in peace and happiness in our beloved country, we are humbly grateful as a nation. May our gratitude continue to express Itself in a growing will for peace, so that peace will soon prevail for the world. As individuals, we aer thankful for loved ones and friends, whose sympathetic understanding and faith in us encourages us on to higher ideals. So, for all of these wonderful blessings, let us give thanks, and in our hearts keep the prayer, God Bless America. resident ior trie past i /*•#. ■ »i • fifteen years, occurred the death i|]||TS 111 ADlinQSIlCC of Mrs. Dora Ranow Amerson, wife of Mr. A.
