Amongst the mamr acts of ^ratitude
we owe to God, ib may be accountcd one,
to studj^ ?aid contemplate the perfections
and beauties of his works of creation.
Every new discovery must necessarily
raise in us a fresh sense of the great
ness, wisdom, and pov:er of God. lie
hath so ordered things tliat almost every
part of the creation is for our benefit,
either to tte support of our being, the
delight of our senses, or the agreeable
exercise of the rational faculty.
--Jonathan Edwards
For, after all, put it as we may
to ourselves, ive are all of us from
birth to death guests ac a table v/hich
we did not spread. The sun, the earth,
love, friends, our very breath are oarts
of the bancuet. . , Shall we thirJ: of
the day as a chance to co.ne nearer to
our ]iost, and to find out something of
Him T/ho has fed us so long?
--Rebecca Kai’din;? Davis

to make one world.
Third, as a supplement to these
spiritual means we can stop talking
war, cultivate international friend
ship by word and deed (sharing with
tha h'ongry); support our government
in its policies of firmness with
patience toward the Russian Bloc
and the European Recovery Program,
and seek through the formation of
public opinion to transform the
United Nations into a world govern
ment.

ward the cheering and also composed
