THANKSGIVING Of all the holidays which we customarily observe, there are two of distinct American origin which are celebrated all over the United States. Those are independence Day anu Thanksgiving Day. Both of these have peculiar significance to a 1 i Americans. Tiie\ go back to the roots of our national life. Independence Day is, or should be. an annual reminder that our imtiAnul liUoft.. ........ ? ' ..uun/ittii 11IJC1 ij was dUiifVCU only because free men were ready to fight for the right to govern themselves. And Thanksgiving day should be a reminder that the foundations of American were laid by men and women who cherished spiritual liberty even more highly titan they held personal and political liberty. 'Liberty," said Woodrow Wilson, "is a spiritual concept.'" Liberty of conscience is one of the fundamental precepts of our national structure, guaranteed to every citizen under the constitution. That spiritual liberty is, perhaps, the most precious of all the bounties for which Americans should give thanks on the last Thursday in November. So far in our history America has been more abundantly blessed than any other nation has ever been since the beginning of recorded time. We have prospered as no other nation has over prospered. We are just , beginning to realize that the latest world depression let us off more lightly, as a people, than it did any other race or nation. We are now beginning to realize, too. that we are well on our way out of the depression, heading swiftly tov/ard renewed prosperity of a magniture beyond our present dreams. For such material blessing it is well to give thanks to the Providence which has guided us; but it is also well to remember that there are greater treasures than money and the wealth of which money is a measure. Let us, in the midst of our Thanksgiving feasting and merrymaking. not forget that we arc possessors of a groat spiritual heritage, and make the day an occasion for pledging ourselves anew to the upholding and pt rpetualion of that spirit- , ua! liberty, that freedom of conscience a::d of thought, which our (prehears sought and found in their New World. !

The officer who does not spend i enough time during his first term of office trying to be elected the second time is apparently lying down on his job. For one to be unconscious of a conscience is to be insensible to every nobie impulse of life. Some of the differences between the old and the new religion are that the former is usable, "feelable." "tellj able,'* and "lastable." As to the latter. the inference is clear. The only thing that needs turning upside down is that which has the wrong side up to begin with. A bachelor ^11 is said) rarely has rheumatism, and a widower never has any use for a cane. The worst type of a gambler?the man who nonchalantly tosses his child on the "sea of fate" and complasantly awaits the consequences.

WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?] | > nice Barton r> Savl . . . % I . . Admire the Cops As we (irove along beside the Hudson river we noticed a crowd at ontof Vhe piers. A discouraged gentle maw had attempted to drown himself. Dripping and dejected. he sat. or. an empty barrel, white the cop who bad pulled him out of the water talked to him like a big brother Presently the patrol wagon arrived to take them away, the cop still uttering words of friendly encouragement. At a busy corner stood a woman with a baby ir. her arms and it youngster tugging at her skirt. anxiously v jewing the torrent oi traffic, afmkl to plunge' in The cop %k tin middle of the street sighted her. and raised ins arm with a knightly gesture. The city stopped While the timid iittu mother crossed ovei. It was late at night Or. the step's oi a residence. Mu \v mdows of which were shuttered, a mar. v. as slouched in an obvious state of intoxication. A cop touched him on the shoulder. TJiov held a brief conversation. Pres ently the cop hailed a taxi, loaded the inebriated citizen in it. gave ir.st ructions to Oh- taxi and the Uixi drove away. These incidents, occurring within niv own sight and close together, reminrieo me tliat 1 have long intended to write a little something about cops. ? admire '.nost of ali their seif-posscssion and the sound common-sense way in which they go about their work. Adlai E. Stevenson, once vice, phesident of the United States, used to quote a fHcnd's remark that "the constitution of Illinois is an almost perfect document, but it should have one additional naracianh It should provide for an appeal l'roiti the supreme court to any two justices of th*r peace." The idea was that when all the high-priced lawyers and judges had finished their legal wrangling:, then a couple of country chaps should render a finai decision on the basis of .simple common sense. Hard Work the Test You can fun .across all sorts or surprises in the course of a business week. For instance, the vice president of a pig chair, store organization was telling me a business story. ,^.rai_wnat_ do you suppose he ha.scd t on" The Bible ! He has of the company's | personnel, ft is ;i job to sort over a huhored young fellows in order to ! find the one who will start at small wages, work long hours and tight |hiS way tip to the top. The prizes are hig. hut. the buttle i is hard, and only the toughest am 1 vive. The part of the Bible to which the vice nresideni referee, f umc: ih?% j feeding" of the .five thousand. Five i thousand trod and huingry people. ; The Lord said. "Feed them." His disciples, who were practical rgJEn, were aghast. "We can't do it." they j/iuic3tcu. "It would take too much money." Finally a hoy was discovered in the crowd with five small loaves and two fishes. Said my friend. "Ad they had to work with was what the hoy j had. "So with our company." he conj tinufd. "It's one of the leaders, yet : there isn't a really brilliant man in | it. We've all come up from the j ranks. j "We can get money to do anything j that we need; but money alone won't I do it. 1 "But all we really have to work j with is what our four thousand hoys I have. They are going to decide i what this business will be in the | years to come." MOUNTAIN TOP MEDITATIONS 1 By J. C. CANTPE The Apostle Paul advised. "Give j heed to reading." "To the making of ' books tnere is no end." said one of wise prophets. There has been no ; age when there was as much to read ; as there is now. Printed matter falls from the press like the leaves from the autumn trees. Much of tills is salacious and damnable, much of it is trash and bunk, lpuch of it is waste of paper, inl. and time, but some of it is good and worth while, Readers have to choose their kind Teachers, parents and leaders will have to advise and help the young ir selecting their reading matter. But when you find a good book you find a friend. We need books that are vision-stirring, courage-inspiring and soul-lifting "As a man thinketb in his heart so is he." And as a man readeth in him with his head so will he think in his heart. Some books rest us, some soften us, anc some challenge us to greater effort To such books we owe debts that car never be paid.
