Thanksgiving. 1941
In a world seemingly saturated with hate, with costs
of living skyrocketing; sons and sweethearts and buddies
in a mechanized army; wars and rumors of wars surround
ing us, there is bound to be a certain hollow sound to the
word THANKSGIv ING .
Yet we are reminded of the oft-told tale of the phil
osopher who thought that his was the most unfortunate
lot vet drawn by man. Things had gone so badly for him
that he was walking the streets minus a pair of shoes,
However he had " only walked a block when he discovered
a man minus . a pair ■„ of U(ra legs. It It waa was ever ever SO. SO
All too many ot us concentrate on our misfortunes and
take our blessings for granted. We always manage to
remember the rainy days but few of us recall how many
days the sun smiled on us just last week. We painfully
remember paying our taxes but never give a second
thought * to the countless services rendered by our govern
ment.
All of us have reason to be concerned about the
future. And yet, if we could photograph the minds and
thoughts and hearts of men a century ago—two centuries
ago—ten centuries ago—we have a sneaking suspicion
that the pictures would be hard to distinguish one from
another. What could be more uncertain than the future
of those first celebrants of the Thanksgiving Feast—a
new, frozen, unexplored, uncivilized continent was to be
their home! Yet Thanksgiving to them was meaningful.
Nary a trace of a hollow sound echoed along the barren
shores of Plymouth. slices
So, this Thanksgiving Day, as the tender white
of turkey are heaped on our plates, let’s enjoy every
mouthful and not fret because we had to pay seven cents
a pound more'than last year. Americans—and that means
ALL of us—have a big job to do. Let’s give thanks that
we have the heart, the courage, and the resources with
which the job can and will be done.
lYip 31 ilk Situation
The significance and importance of Agriculture Com
missioner Tom Linder’s plan for actual relief for the farm
ers of the Nation was shown last week when Senator Allen
J. Ellender, Democratic Senator from Louisiana, had a
table'and article reprinted in its entirety from The Georgia
State Market Bulletin in The Congressional Record, show
ing the actual farm income.
By simple mathematics and logic, Commissioner Linder!
Clearly , » showed , . that the „ Federal , . , had , niggled . . , the| ,. |
agency
figures, making it appear that the farmers of the Nation
were on actual parity with other classes of workers, while
in reality they receive only a small portion of the Nation’s
yegrlt income
Senator Ellender’s action in placing these figures in
record of Congress is commendable for it brings the
actual facts directly before the law making body. It is
hoped that the Commissioner’s program, backed by facts
and figures will bring parity for the farmers, placing them
on ari equal basis with other groups.
In Commissioner Linder the farmers have found a
champion for their cause after many 'instead years of being pushed
about and I paid off with promises of cash. Since
hi* return to office L he i_ has constantly , . 1 been 1 on the ,, move
to do- All} thing in his power that will bring about b^ttei
conditions on the farms and give the farm producers their
share of the National income.
Part of his dramatic fight is in behalf of the cotton
farmers in their battle to get a fair profit for cottonseed.
At the present time the farms of Georgia produce tons and
tons of cottonseed which is shipped to New York and Wis
consul and markets , , where , it is used to feed dairy' cattle ,
The current price is about $65.00 per ton, which is far
below a fair medium. A price of approximately $75.
would be nearer a fair price and Commissioner Linder is
fighting for such a price in his farm parity plan, now be
fore Congress.
The northern consumers are not satisfied with such
price but are fighting for ‘ a ceiling 7 ® of $50.00 s l. per ton.
: r/mg ■ that WU this is not . e fair ■ to the farmers and that . such , price .
would not provide a profit from the product. Mr. Linder is
determined to block any move that would reduce the price
even a few dollars. .
These Wisconsin and New York cottonseed users feed
cattle with Georgia cottonseed and then ship the product,
powtitit (i milk, oack to the State at a great profit.
Mr. Linder sagely J points out that instead of *
the importation of e powdered 1 milk. Georgia should . , , ,
their o^n, Using those same cottonseed that now go to
northern markets to feed their own cattle.
Powdered milk, produced here in the State, could
well compete with that from other States. The farmers
the Sta’e could produce it much cheaper for we have the
cottonseed riebt hpre at home
*»o uu h„v, r
gamzation that could borrow money from f the banks of
the State to set up the necessary plants tor the reduction
of fluid miik into powdered milk products. Such
would soon pay for themselves and in a short period of
time would be providing a nice profit for the Georgia milk
producers.
Under such a plan, every Georgia h farm would be '
potential ,..*o J ucer of raw milk. Elaborate barns with
concrete milking basins and similar sanitary refinements
would no. e ncvt.-sary for the raw milk would be Steriliz
ed in the process of reducing it to powder.
Anything that Wisconsin or New York can make a
profit on is likewise a profitable venture for the farmers
of Georgia. They have a leader now in
Linder and even- citizen of the State should back his de
termined fight to better the conditions of the nation’s back
bone—the farmer.

Of being American born,
Make me loyal to my country
Ne’er its protection scorn.
We Thank Thee Lord for sheltered ground
Endow with strength of mind
To respect the simple worthwhile things
And a life of service find.
Give wisdom Lord to understand.

Be satisfied with what I have
Respect the good and just.

Be tolerant, kind and true,

golden TEXT: w« love him, I
became he first loved us.—1 John
4:19.
How can there be so much hate :
in the world? The answer of
course lies in the fact that there is

Christians need to face this fact
with humility and great serious
nesg They are followers of One
who ig Jove j ncarna te. They are
recipients of love beyond degree
from the Heavenly rather. They
are heralds of a message of love,
They are assured of the power and
reward of love. Theirs is the
major responsibility to bring in
the kingdom of love on earth.
Th e one word which better than
any other sums up the genius and
nature of the Christian religion is
"love.” If we turn to 1 John 4
we find that the essence of God is
love— “God is love” (v.8). The
ground of our redemption is love
—“Herein is love, not that we
loved God, but that he loved us,
and sent his Son to be the pro
pitiation for our sins” (v.10). The
proof of our having become chil
dren of God depends upon our
practice of love—“Every one that
loveth is born of God, and know
eth God” (v.7). Our oneness
with God is oneness in love—“He
that dwelleth in love dwelleth in
God, and God in him” (v.lfl). The
ruling principle in the kingdom :
of God is love—“And this com
mandment have we from him,
That he who loveth God love hir.

thought the gift of tongues and the
gift of Prophecies and tongues and
knowledge pass clear that these
* ifta ar e worthless without the
presence of love. Dr. Charles R.
Erdman summarizes Paul’s teach
in the following words: "The
« lft of tongues signifies
The influence of prophecy or
amounts to nothing. The of
fering of goods, or even martyr
dom > secures nothing. Love is
absolutely necessary if life in any
sphere is to be of value or profit
or meaning. Without it no gift
can be exercised properly, no tal
<?nt can be rightly used. Without
*t Christian profession is a pre
tens *. Christian service is fruit
less. Without it all the relations
of life are imperfect, all activities
heartless and futile and vain. In
the deepest sense, not to love is
not to live.”
With masterful skill Paul enum
erates fourteen qualities of love.
They have been called “facets of
the diamond of love.” Love suf
fers long and is kind. It leads
one to be forgiving and long
suffering and causes him to show
kindness by returning good for
evil. It does not envy. There is
no begrudging others their gifts or
superior attainments, no jealousy
because of others’ successes. It
does not vaunt itself and is not
puffed up. The characteristic of
love is humility, not boasting,
Mode ’ty and lowliness are its evi
rlenccs. It does not behave itself
n unseemly fashion. Courtesy
and politeness of consideration are
the signs of love. One, of its
noblest qual.ties is unselfishness
because it seeks not its own. Love
forgets its rights, its needs, itself.
It is not provoked, for love is not
irritable but good natured. It is
not resentful, scrupulously noting
all injuries and harboring them
in memory with a view to revenge.
Rather it does not take account cf
evil. Love forgives and forgotr.
Love finds no rejoicing in unright
eousness. There is no pleasure in
fhe faults and failures of others.
Rather it rejoices in truth. Its
highest thrill comes from the tri
umph of goodness. Love bears
with the faults of others. It has
confidence in people and faith in
those under suspicion. It is given
hopeful optimism rather than
despair ’ 11 endur ” *" d
carries on undaunted, undis
couraged, never wearying, with
courageous perseverance,
What portrait in all the world
could be more magnificent than
the one painted by the apostle
Paul m describing love? There is
but ane P° rtrait which excels
of love shining ‘ he ^ radiantly ll forth in
the dally conduct and relationship
of a man or a woman,
Paul* closing tribute to love is
to tell of its imperishable charact
er. “Love never faileth.” Pro
phecies and tongues and know
ledge pass away, but love abides
‘"T?- lustrations The to apostle describe used the two im- n

knowledge gives place to the un
derstanding of mature years. Our
present knowledge must give place
to fuller knowledge in the revela

knowledge which changes and

One further truth should be im
pressed upon our minds and hearts,
To love properly is the zenith of
Christian perfection, Love prep
erly practiced is the noblest re
sponse of the soul toward God.

elevate all human relationships
and sanctify them with something
of the blessing of Christ. The
world is in dire dest tution because
cf its ignorance of the gospel of
love. Oh, that Christians might
feel afresh the warmth and joy
and blessedness and constraint

God in Christ and go forth to tell
the whole of mankind the story of
redeeming love!
