Thahksgiviug Day is preeminent
ly the American Day. It is more
truly topical of all that is best
and. highest in our national life
than is even the Fourth of July or
any. other of all our holidays.
And this year it should strike a res
ponsive chord ini' every heart that
is truly'America! And from a Na
tion of Peace and Prosperity should
go up to the great Ruler of all a
united song of Praise and Thanks
giving. '
Not all in our land are glad and
joyous on this day, notali are even
sharers in the great National Pros
perity. Some souls are bowed
down with sorrow. Some, yen
many, still know .the bitter sting of
poverty. But let us cast our
thought for a moment across t he
grfeat battle fields of tho old
world. Let us tliink for a moment
of the thousands Upon thousands of
hoines where the^pall of war hangs
