*oie for God to 4© what : Be as all ‘the
•’time willing to <s©—-’bring ufi -salvation,
>deliverance. i:l< prepares away *for
•God to work.
: <Let ns try and find out what the
-Psalmist means by the sacrifice of
which glorifies *God. fle
.has already In very dramatic wards
said that it Is cot the animal
sacrifices which constitute the saeni
:fice of thanksgiving. “For every
beast of the forest is mine and the
cattle upon a thousand hills. If I
- were hungry- I would not tell thee;
for the world is mine and the fulness
thereof. Will I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats? Offer
unto God thanksgiving” (verses 10-14).
And with us it is something deeper
than our outward gifts God wants. So
many imagine they are doing God a
favor by contributing to His work,
or giving subscriptions, often very
generous ones, to this or that. If It
is not in these outward things that
the true sacrifice of praise consists,
i.what is it?
Its essence is the spirit of glad ac
ceptance of God’s gracious dealings
• with us. The key of life is to be
: found in that attitude. This is the
of thanksgiving. Instead of
• railing at fate, we see behind things a
•loving Father, at times dealing severe
ly with His children, but always deal
: ing lovingly. “Whom the Lord loveth
;J He chasteneth, and scourgeth every
3 -son whom He receiveth.”
Glad Acceptance of His Will,
vgo, confident in God’s way, Paul and
rßilas could sing in the innermost pris
on. The groups of defenseless men
and -women in Nero's arena coming
•out of great tribulation, could sing,
while the wild beasts were being loos
' cued -upon them.
As Madam Guyon in-jail puts it in
*The Prison of<the Lord”:
A little ibird J am,
fibut trorn -the:fields of air;
And i® !i»y cage J sJt and sing
To Him who placed me there;
Well pteased ft prisoner to, be.
This is not merely a grudging ac
ceptance of God’s way* :but ift ;is .with
the heart and glorifies God.
We need to be sure that it he t burden
laid on us is of God, and Jiot of opr
owm negligence or fol'ly, and we need
ever to lie seeking health and strength,
the normal condition ordained for us
of God. But when, beyond -ou.r con
trolling or erecting, grievous .limita
tions constrict us, we do well to glori
fy God in the joyous spirit of ThyJtks
.giving.
Attitude of Glorifying God.
It is not only in trials that thanks
giving should be rendered. 1 here is
the stress and strain of a task which
taxes our powers, those powers which
need continual exercise to make them
grow. We glorify God as we rejoice
in that He has called us to measure
A profit of $56 from a “sideline” always seems larger than
a $560 profit jpade iji tfie course of one's regular business.
THE CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBORO, N. C.
ourselves against real tasks. We hon
or God wfiien we can thank Him for
the Hill Difficulty.
The sacrifice Os thanksgiving, then,
is an attitude to li|e and to God. It
is an attitude that glorifies God since
it gives Sim credit for .working sensi
bly, with wisdom, -and according to
some pto®. We so often fieny to God
the foresight and wisdom -we credit
ourselves with. We should or should
not de this or that because of some
greater plain we have in mind. Yet
when God brings things upon us, the
full purport of which we •cannot grasp,
we so often plaintively ' lament His
. shortness of vision. He has spoilt our
} plans and we forget His grander plan.
Those who can rejoice with thanks
givings of heart for whatever He
sends glorify God in recognizing His
intelligent purpose.
Not only does the sacrifice of
thanksgiving glorify Me, says God, but •
it prepares away that I may show ,
him the salvation of God. That is if
we have hearts that can give God
credit for acting sensibly in His deal
i ings with us, if we can thank Him
even when there appears to those who
know not the Father’s care, only
cause for bitter repining, God can
work out His will through us and for
us. God can show us Elis salvation,
His way of deliverance and growth.
We are in league with Him in His
good will for us and for the world.
Light Shines Most in Darkness.
The heart that can sing in the dark
is assured of victory and deliverance.
There was John Bunyan in Bedford
jail. Mow thwarting it seemed to God’s
purposes for him as a preacher of the
Gospel up and down the land. Shall
he accept the imprisonment for the
sake of God’s revelation of truth as
he has seen it?
“But if nothing.” he writes, “will do
unless I make of my conscience a con
tinual butchery and slaughter-ship,
unless, putting out my own eyes, I
commit me to the blind to lead me.
as 1 doubt not is desired by some. I
have determined, the Almighty God j
being my help and shield, yet to suf
fer, if fraH life might continue so
tong, even till the moss shall grow on
my eyebrows, rather than thus to vio
late my faith and principles.” And
his glad acceptance of the claim of
God made it possible for God to work
the way of deliverance for him, so
that now John Bunyan lives on in the
immortal Pilgrim of his prison-day
dream.
Our Lord and Savior glorified the
Father in His glad acceptance of His
way for Him: “Nevertheless, not My
will hut Thine be done.” and He thus
prepared away for the Father to de
liver Him evermore from the pangs of
death and sin and us all. weak sons
of men, in Him.
Let us rejoice in H?s way whatever
It may he for us and wherever il may
lead us. knowing “all things work to
gether for good to them that love
God.”
THE PRAYER PERFECT
Dear Lord! kind Lord!
Gracious Lord! I pray
Thou wilt look on all I love,
Tenderly today!
Weed their hearts of weariness; ,
Scatter every care
Down a wake of angel-wings
Winnowing the air. IT
Bring unto the sorrowing
AH release from pain;
Let the lips of laughter f
Overflow again;
And with all the needy
O divide, 1 pray.
This vast treasure of content
That is today!

Giblet Gravy Survivor
of Pilgrim’s Festival
Despite the reverence still held for
the first Thanksgiving and the elab
orate menu that is supposed to have
been presented to the Pilgrim guests,
about all it has left to posterity is
giblet gravy.
“There were many shortcomings In
the original feast,” says Farm and
Fireside, reviewing the historic event,
“but it left the gravy that still re
mains one of the features of every
great Thanksgiving dinner.
“The original New England dinner
was far from these that have been
enjoyed since, from the beginning of
the Nineteenth century until now.
The oldest narratives of this feast re
fer to five deer, a gift from the In
dians, being served on huge pewter
platters. There were also wild tur
keys weighing from 80 to 40 pounds.
Sugar was scarce, and honey, extract
ed from hollow - trees, was used for
sweetening purposes. Dried corn, se
cured from tiie Indians, was made
into corn bread, enough of a novelty
to be most popular.
“Several napkins were given to each
person. Anri needed they were, for
forks were not in use. Trenchers took
the place of plates and two persons
ate from each one. Cups were not in
use. The Pilgrims had two or three
tankards. These were passed around
the table, each person drinking his
share in turn.
“But there was giblet gravy and it
soon became a specialty of the New
England cooks. If survived through
out all the famous kitchens of noted
persons since that time, the table of
Jacob Thompson, secretary of interior
under President James Buchanan, be
ing especially famed for the dish. It
was made of heavy cream thickened
with flour and mixed with water in
which the giblets, wing tips and neck
bad been boiled. Rice and buttered
asparagus were served with the gravy
as Its use Increased after Pilgrim
days.”
Spain and Italy produce about 90
per cent of the world’s mercury sup
ply.

PEACE AND PLENTY
In winter, plans we make, with tender art,
Recalling fertile earth beneath the snow;
And springtime thrills anew the human heart
With promises fair as the flowers that blow
In summer, we enjoy the sun’s bright rays,
Or watch the rain, from shelter of the wood;
And learn that patience sanctifies our days,
That all things work together for our good
But now the fields have yielded up their store.
Like Indian wigwams, shocks of sorghum
s'.ar.d;
The grain-filled barns no longer cry for more.
Peace and contentment lie upon the land.
So, after labor, comes the day of rest;
We feel and know Thanksgiving time is best
