RECC INT BLESSINGS
AND RETURN THANKS
Well < or Nation to Be Re
mincltd of God's Gifts.
T HER K is r;n i:i< ie Important day
in oni r i' . ..i i .lendar than that
i?n which v. < ? ; e?l upon by our
national ai.?i s:; executives t<> as
semble in ?? ir ?? ??iosned places of
worship to n ni ?: vout thanksgiving
to Cod for our ngs, both collec
tive and individual.
It is well for our entire nation thus
emphatically to l?<- reminded of Its
dependence on (J??! ynd of its obliga
tion to lllui.
It is well for us both as individuals
and as a peopi" th\t~ seriously to take
account of our bit ngs and thus for
mally and ultima i:ly to express our
gratitude.
For we are entirely too much in
clined to magnify the ills we suffer,
the difficulties we ounter, und the
disappointments wbi-h befall us that
we lose sight of t be things which,
if received and used 'n the right way.
enrich and ennoble our lives. One
need not make u ery diligent search
in order to discover a vast number
of things In this favored land of ours
which call for than giving. Nor does
it require much fun her investigation
to make clear th: t !he ills which af
flict us most deeply are due, not to
any failure of divine beneficence, but
to our own sins and follies. And what
is true in this regard of the nation is
true also in larg< measure of each
individual. Our only unbearable
troubles are those which we bring
upon ourselves through our disregard
of t lie laws of God. So long ns we
remain in vital union with Him, the
real values of life are still left us.
whatever sorrows may overtake us.
The occasion which bids us recall
our mercies may also be an occasion
of repentance. For it not infrequently
serves to remind us of blessings squan
dered and opportunities neglected. It!
is well to express in words our appre-1
ciation of the good gifts that come J
down from the Father of light, but
such expression becomes mere mock
ery If we use those gifts unworthily.
It will be well, therefore, if we make
Thanksgiving day a time of heart )
searching. Are we as individuals, as!
a people, seeking to render service to j
our fellows that * proportionate t??J
our advantages and opportunities*'. '
are we dishonoring the (?od wh
praise with our lips by living in
bale self-complacency and selfish
regard of the needs of our less i
fiate brothers and sisters?
Kitrbtly observed. Thanksgiving
niiubt mark t lie beginning of a n
that would revitalize the church :
purify our national life. ? Sunda)
