One of the'pleasant things about
the newspaper profession Is the
friendships that are formed through
the dally work. The editor of the
Tlmes-Enterprlse finds pleasure In
tho friendship of the ministers of the
city. But If Is not the. bias of a warm
personal friendship that makes us
pay tribute to the worth of Rev.
George Sherwood Whitney, and ex-
presa regret at his decision to ac
cept the call of St. Paul’s church In
Augusta. v
It Is such a call as no man could
refuse, coming as It does from one

. Many of our very greatest bles
sings become so much a part of oiir
everyday life that we accept them as
our due, and forget to be grateful.
Yet wore wo deprived of any of
them we would suffer greatly. And
surely the people of this section, If
of any on earth can well be thank
ful to the Giver of all good.
We all ought to be happy. We
all can be happy. There Is a dif
ference between hnpnless and con
tentment The one goes wide eyed
through the world, apprdating all
good things, while the other sleeps.
So be happy, Get the happy habit.
Lay aside for this one day the
chronic grouch. Fold up that long
face and pack It In moth balls.
Turn up the corners of your mouth
and smile.
You owe the world something
You were put here for a purpose,
and that purpose was not to add to
the sum of human woe and sub
tract from the meed' of human joy.
Your attitude toward your fellow
man is almost entirely subjective.
If you have -the "unconquerable
soul," you can enjoy Thanksgiving,
and the unconquerable soul can he
had by practice. This la a good
time to start In.
Each of you has blessings that
gold could not buy. Neither would
you sell them for all the Standard
Oil money in the World. It Is not
necessary for us to enumerate them
for you, and we think It la for you
too. At any ‘rate we hopej^o.
