THANKSGIVING *
I
(W. H. Faust, D. D.)
Many centuric- ago tlic Sweet
Ringer of Isreal asked this question,
“What shall I render unto the Lord
for all His benefits toward me!"
That question is as pertinent to men
ef this generation as it was to the
men to whom it was propounded in
the distant pavt.
Gratitude and appreciation are
two of the finest arts that men know
about. Ingratitude is one of the
deadly sins that like a gangrene eats
away the very vitals of real life.
Among the many things on the
surface of our lives which call us to
render thanks unto God can be men
tioned—
I—Self Life. By that is meant the
life which each one lives known only
unto hinmelf and God. One passes
ulong the crowded thoroughfares of
life and watches the faces of the
innumerable passersby, and can npt
tell the thoughts, plans, purposes, of
these varied live . Often the smiling
face hides the aching, sorrowful, pain
ilricken heart. Many times the face
that is set with fixendness of pur
pose is but the expression of a loving
•determination to plan and provide
for the best interests of lovcJ ones.
This self-life can be used with its re
flex power to bless and sweeten the
lives of others. One of our great
preachers telb of an old fisher-wo
man who one day" was making u meal
of bread and a bit of fish. Indeed, it
•did look like a simple meal, and when
one of her friends asked why she
seemed so grateful for the poor fare,
she at once replied, "I am so grate
ful because God has levied on land
nd sea to supply this bit of bread
nd fish for one of his unworthy
nervants.” That inward appreciation
has often given outward expression j
to the world in the lives of some of]
mir greatest leaders in the realm of
thought and activity.
41—Po sseesiens. America is bless- j
ed in a peculiar way this Thanks.giv- i
ing time; in fact, blessed above all
the other nations of the earth. Peace, 1
prosperity, plenty, is about us on cv- J
cry hand. Take Georgia as an il
lustration. Go north, south, east, :
west, in this great commonwealth, '•
and on every hand the eye is greeted 1
with unparallclled visions of pros
perity. Apples and corn to the
north. Cotton and hay in the cen
tral section. Pecans and melons and
tobacco in the iouth. Melons, peach
es and hogs in the south central sec
tion. Barns bursting forth with
plenty, Bins crowded with the crops
that can be described by only one
word- BUMPER.
AH these blessings simply mean
that wo are under obligations to God
to bestow somewhat of them upon
ether- not o fortunate, and woe ba
unto us if we do not render unto
the Lord something for what He has
done for as. Stop for n moment and ■
think. Who gives the most in pro
portion to ability? The poor. Here
is a man who started out in life with
nothing but a strong character and a'
thankful heart. In the days of his
poverty he always found at least a
dime to put in the collection basket
at church, and ten dollars for the
new church building, and five dollars
for the church organ, and any amount
necessary to help a fellow being in
need. Years slip by, and a fortune
comes. The church services are un
attended. . The offering to God and
His church is pitifully small, com
paratively. The poor must look to
the charity chest fund. The local
ehurch folk are told to buy their
own organs. Should not the strong
help the weak? Should not the
prosperous one render much unto the
Lord for all the blessings conferred
upon him?
But the selfish man asks this ques
tion, Will not the time soon come
when we shall stop asking for so
much? Certainly not. As the popu
lation increases, the needs will con
tinue to increase. Tomorrow will
have more needs than today, because
tomorrow will have more people, and
the multiplication of population al
ways means the multiplication of
needs. Colleges are to be erected,
endowed, and sustained. Hospitals
are to be builded for the care of
the sick an- helpless. Aslyums are
to be erected for those who are un
fortunate. Schools are to be built
to care for the growing boys and
grirls of the present generation. And
•a folks multiply, the demands for
these will grow more acute and press
ing. All thcie institutions shall be
supported by us in return for what
God has done for us. Where would
our money and our prosperity come
from wore these institutions to be
destroyed?
Ill—Service. Money is the easiest
Hung in the world to give. How
• any of our great financiers poothe i
their consciences by giving the'titho
to the Lord. That is simply paying
Him what is His. The gifts must fol
low the tithe. Many a time the col
lection basket is passed around, and
a dime is cast in, when not enough
interest is manifested in the heathen
to warrant the giver in sending a
prayer up to God in behalf of the
lost winner in the uttermost parts of
the earth.
Watch the rich men of today. Do
they attend the regular meetings of
the church, midweek services, preach-
ing services, Sunday school meetings,
as they should, or do they feel that
to contribute a bit of their money
meets all the demands of the Lord
upon them?
Years ago the daily papers car
ried the announcements that a cer
tain wealthy woman gave a dinner,
that cost forty thousand dollars, to
her friends. At the same time the
dinner was on, a policeman was ap
proached by a woman, and asked
for help for the babe in her arms.
The officer looked at the pinched face
of the poor babe, and saw that it
was dead. The mother’s attention
was directed to this fact, and she
fainted. Think of it. Starvation on
the outside of a building. Luxury on
the inside. How close in life are
wealth and poverty. One end of the
street in the cosmopolitan city filled
with the handsomest residences; the
other with slum dwellings. What
shall men render unto God for all
the blessings bestowed upon them?
In answer to the question, we
should render our best unto God,
who has rendered His best unto us.
That, and that alone, will answer the
question adequately.

HOW THE PUBLIC RATES THE
STARS
Asa drawing card, where would
the average movie-goer rank Colleen
Moore in comparison with Charlie
Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Tom Mix,
j Mary Pickford, Thomas Meighan,
Mnrion Davies and the Talmadgc sis
ters? Very near the bottom, proba
bly.
But the exhibitors of the United
States, who ought to know, if any
' ane does, what the public likes, de
clare that Colleen Moore, during the
j past year, has drawn larger audiences
to her pictures than has any other
single star. Tom Mix comes second;
Fred Thompson, of whom the aver
age New Yorker has never even
heard, is third; Harold Lloyd is
fourth, and Hoot Gibson is fifth.
These results were announced at
the end of a month’s balloting by the
exhibitors, and there is no reason
to believe that their prejudices would
influence their judgments. Their
business is to attract people to the
boxoffice, and it would be foolish for
them to be anything but completely
honest and frank with themselves.
Norma Talmadge comes sixth in
popular esteem, and behind her, in
the order named, Mary Pickford,
Douglas Fairbanks, Thomas Meighan,
Reginald Denney, Milton Sills, Rich
ard Dix, Lon Chaney, Buck Jones,
Norma Shearer, Gloria Swanson, Wal
lace Beery, Bebe Daniels, Corinne
Griffith, Jack Holt, Constance Tal
madge, Rin-Tin-Tin, Jackie Coogan,
Marion Davies, Charles Chaplin and
Barrymore and Ramon Novarro.
Among the surprises are the low
standing of Gloria Swanson, who was,
last year, among the first five, and
the high rating of Mary Pickford,
who was thought to have lost a large
proportion of her popular following.
The popularity of the “western”
heroes will astonish many city-dwell
crs. In New York, Boston and Phila
delphia, the names of Hoot Gibson,
Fred Thompson and Buck Jones,
“westerns ail,” are seen almost nev
er.
4-H CLUB SONG
Tune: “Battle Hymn of Republic!’
Mine eyes have seen the value of
the club work in our state,
We have worked through the
-pring, now it is time to celebrate,
The.other girls and boys were
hanging on Oie garden gate,
While we came here today.
CHORUS
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
Club work goes marching on.
We are farmer lads and lassies, and
vve know just how to toil,
We are always up and doing, and
make profit from the soil;
We raise winning pigs and chick
ens, and can fruit that will not spoil,
| So we came here today.
Chorus
You may think to win in club work,
is an easy thing to do,
That the road that leads to victory
is quite ear&y to pursue;
But, believe me, it’s a tussle from
the start till we get through;
But we came here today.
Chorus
When we started in the club work,
we went in to do or die,
Now we’re here while all the others
are lamenting with a sigh;
And we’ll have some fun occasion
ally or know the reason why;
That’s why we came here today.

DOORKNOB SWALLOWED BY
FORSYTH SNAKE
Forsyth, Ga., November 28.—J. C.
Childs, of Smarrs, has been losing
chickens and eggs for some time, and
with all his watching was unable to
find the thief. In one of his nests,
which usually yielded six or seven
eggs daily he would find everything
gone except the white door knob
which was used as a nest egg.
One day all the eggs were gone as
well as the nest egg. Mr. Childs yes
terday killed a snake in his yard with
a large object in its center. Exam
ining the snake, it was found that
he had swallowed the knob which
also included the connection of about
one inch. When the snake's mouth
seemed only large enough to hold a
small plum, it seems impossible that
it could swallow the knob.
It has been nearly two months since
the knob was missed.
PREDICTS LONG WINTER
If birds and animals know any
thing about the weather, it’s going
to be a long winter, predicts M. P.
Skinner, field naturalist for Yellow
stone Park.
“Ground squirrels began to hib
ernate ten days earlier than usual,”
says Mr. Skinner. *‘W’od chucks
went into seclusion two weeks be
fore their ordinary winter bedtime,
and red pine squirrels started to
gather pine cones much sooner than
customary. Such nests of hibernat
ing animals as I have opened are a
good deal deeper this fall, indicating
they are digging to get away from
the frost.
“Birds from the North are com
ing in greater numbers and consider
ably in advance of the expected
time.”
