He might have been dreamless, but then ho was

Ho saw in his vision a table piled high with aaucofi

America's Thanks.
Outlook.
We thank Him who has made and
preserved us ns a nation.
Who hid this continent from the eyes
of the world until the time for its reve
lation had come.
Who summoned hither faithful men,
believing in God and in men as the chil
dren of God.
Who preserved the brave colonists
from famine, pestilence and sword;
from internal dissensions and from for
eign foes.
Who united the hearts and minds of
the various peoples in their demand for
liberty and their declaration of inde
pendence.
Who made wise the counsels of their

Those who protest against fate, who pressed of other lands and made it a
,ay theirs is a hard life, void of all
beauty, comfort, cheer or anything
whatsoever to give thanks for, are
wrong with the world. Something is
the matter; they need readjustment and
a different point of view. .
The peevish, dissatisfied woman who
allows herself to be unhappy because
she does not possess as much of this
world’s goods as her neighbor, and then
says she has nothing to be thankful for,
has only to go into a city hospital and
there she will see many reasons for her
own thanksgiving.
You mothers who have healthy chil
dren, strong of body and straight of
limb, may be thankful that your little
ones are not compelled to inhabit
home for incurable cripples.
You fathers who have kind, gentle
wives and well-bred children may be
thankful that you are not married to a
shrew, a woman who neglects her
home, her children, and makes her
husband’s life unbearable.
Everv one of you can be thankful for
the sunshine, the rain, the beauty of
the hills and fields, the fruits of the
earth that will appease your hunger,
the clothing that keeps you warm, and
above all, for the roof that covers you
There are many, you know, that have
not these blessings. The blind cannot see
the sunshine or the beauties of nature;
the poverty-stricken cannot enjoy the
fruits of the earth and warm clothing;
the homeless have no roof-tree to shel
ter them, and the cripples cannot feel
the softly falling rain.
Are you, then, making the world
about you more livable and lovable for
some poor, disheartened mortal? Are
you lightening his burden? Or are you
in your selfishness making the world
bleak and cold and inhospitable for
those about yon?
You can do something to help the un
fortunate ones to be thankful. Per
haps you cannot give a bountifully sup
plied basket of provisions to your poor
neighbor, but you can send her a plate
of biscuits, or call upon her and cheer
her up a bit. You can write a cheer
ful letter to a shut-in or take her a
bright bunch of posies or a basket of
fruit. Flowers and fruit are always
welcomed at the hospitals; but if you
take them there yourself, adding the
brightness of your presence, they will
be doubly welcome.
Do not let the day pass without per
forming some act of kindness or char
ity, lightening some burden or making
the heart of some sad friend sing a joy
ful melody.
Be truly thankful for your own bless
ings, and dispense a blessing wherever
you may.

A Clogged Systnn Ncods Attention.
Are you bilious, dizzy and listless?
Dr. King’s Now Life Pills taken at

starts the bowels moving naturally and
easily. Moreover it acts without grip

Things to Be Thankful For.
rhlludi'lphtu Linger.
The sentiment of gratitude is one
that there is small risk of finding too
much in evidence. It is not possible to
grow from childhood to manhood or
womanhood without implicit depen
dence upon others, without incurring
obligations nnd running deeply into
debt—Urst of all to the God who made
us, then to our parents who safeguarded
our helpless infancy, then to the friends
who assisted us on our way. It is im
possible for us to make adequate re
payment or return for all these benefits.
What has been done for us in our creation
and our sustenance, in all tho generous
provision of love and of sympathy that
surround us, is beyond reckoning or
valuation—it is without money and
without price. But wo may at leist
from time to time express our gratiJ
tude to the Giver of all good gifts. We
may occasionally voice our thankfulnerg
that wo are alive and that our plain
duty licB before us, and that there is
useful work to occupy our hearts and
souls and senses. Above all, thero is
the groat gift of love—tho love that
trnnsiigurca life and makes it worth
while to keep on trying to puzzle out
the riddle of oxistence—the love that
fills tho universe, and, according to
Dante, “moves tho sun and th* other
stars.”
