It eatiiMit be made in haste. The choicest things of the year must be gathered together in thought and put into it. Pirst are the permanent treasures of hie. Ciod is, and is our Father. We have His word and His spirit. We are in His family, not as servants but as sons, and "the son ahideth forever." We have, therefore, a future unbounded by lime in the father's house. These everlasting values enrich present life beyond limit. The day when men's at tention is concentrated on them becomes Thanksgiving day. We put into it also what the years have given us family affec tions and friendships. Ties sus pended by circumstances, not broken, are renewed, as faces of the absent ones reappear in the home. The blessings of this year must be put into Thanksgiving day. The work that was planned when the winter's shortest days began ot lengthen is done. The harvest is completed. We do not count the losses today. We put the disap pointments and sorrows out of sight for the present. We are not making a fast but a feast. The tables are loaded with good things, which symbolie the good things of the year and of all the years and of eternal life. And how many of the in : are here with us the hus- j band, the wife, the children, i father and mother, friends at hand j and messages from those afar, the home and all it contains. VCe have a Christian fellowship, a great and prosperous country at peace with the word and with a helpful mis sion to other nations which is be ing nobly fulfilled. But something still is lacking. It is the flavor to the food, the piqu ancy to ihe appetite, the flowers to adorn the table. What we give gives value to what we have. "Clod setteth the solitary in Fami- ; lies." If there is a vacant chair at ! our table some lonely one must be j tounu to nn it. u nue mere are homes unprovided, ours cannot be completely ready for the festival. "Send portions unto him for whom nothing is prepared for this day is holy unto Lord." Thus our table is adorned and its plainest food made rich. Now the day is made. We unite in thanksgiving and we share the feats in a happy fellowship sur 1 rounded by an uncounted multi tude of merry making homes, whose unspoken greeting to one another explains ttie meaning of our national Thanksgiving day, "For the joy of our Lord is your strength."

I When the winds of bleak November Down the chimney moan and sigh, Stirring into life each ember Till the (lames roar fierce and high Then my thoughts revert to boyhood, When Thanksgiving Day drew nigh. In the llames I see the farmhouse, And the woodland brown and sere Where the sportsman's rille echoed As that day of days drew near, Scenes which ever shall he cherished In the burning logs appear. I can see the deep old cellar Where the apple bins, piled high, Overshadowed heaps of pumpkins Golden as the sunset sky, And the casks of new fall cider Stood along the wall close by. As the old-time scenes are fading While the tire slowly dies. Visions of a groaning lahle Are presenied to my eyes, And I almost scent the fragrance Of the mince and pumpkin pies.

' The distant son returns, thegiand , children gather around the table, the old people take pleasure in welcoming the familiar Faces that time is changing and the new faces added to the widening family cir cle. It is a day of careless mirth and thankful gladness. Some go to church to find an expression for the feelings which find them voice less, and others feel only vaguely, if at all, the need of more than the tacit acceptance and enjoyment of all that the day brings. There are household games and the sports of winter, and if the great football contests seem to overshadow more spontaneous diversions the ac tual figures would show that n t one in a thousand of the popula tion uf the country attends the matches. The thoughts of the preachers are apt to turn to ihe betterment of civil or political con ditions, reasoning mat tiie way 1 1 show thankfulness lor public Miss ings is to procure more ol them.

The minor strain tH.it runs through the music of the affections is heard by those whose hearts once thrilled to voices silent now, but the spirit of the day is to rejoice. l:or what is secure in memory, for the blessings of the year and the day, for the promise of the fu ture, may we he truly thankful. mm ; ll This is the tS I It fkl I I I U.UI ft I MOk LMr ChXIST LOVED HOME.

He loved the quietude of home life, and He was lovely in His domesticity. How He enjoyed handing over ' the resurrected boy io his mother I and the resurrected girl to her father and reconstructing home steads which disease or death was breaking up .' As the sons "Hon e, Sweet Home" was written by a man who at that lime had no home, so we think the homelessness of Christ, added to his appreciation of domesticity. Huthermore, He was lovely in. His sympathies. Now dropsy is a most distressful complaint. It inflames and swells and tortures any limb of physical organ it touches. As soon as a case of that kind is submitted to Christ, He, without any use of diaphoretics, commands its cure. And what an eye doctor He was for opening the long closed gates of sight :o the blue sky, and ihe ullow of ihe flower and the emerald of the grass ! What a Christ He was for cooling fevers without so much as a spoonful of febrifuge, and straightening crooked backs with out any pangs of surgery, and standing whole choirs of music along the silent galleries of a deaf ea1 and giving healthful nervous system to cataleptics !
