GRATITUDE FOR
DAILY BLESSINGS
Beautiful Festival of Thanksgiving
Ha. It. Origin In th. Recognition of
the Beneficence and Protection of
th. Great Creator.
GltATITrnE la a word that com
prehends the haiiulnoea of thx
human race. It turns the heart
toward the Fountain of All Oood and
Bo makes puBslble a an-ater recep
tivity and a greater Joy. Without
It even glories of heaven could not
confer happlnesB, mi J all the sweet
amenities of Ufa would fall. With
It taa humbleBt homo may be blest
with angel visits, and one step up
ward from thet depths of nrlef may be
fraught with a uow-tound joy.
But shall we be urateful for the
mere Incidents of life and forfiet to
be supremely grateful for life Itself?
We murmur so much nt the condi
tions of life, and on a reluctant con
cession we admit that this is bettor
than that, and so we express our
feeble thanks praising the beauty of
a single leaf while murmuring at the
tree that bore It.
Aro you truly grateful for life? Are
you glad that you were born? Do you
accept your life from the hand of
God sb his richest gift the contuiuaut
of all other possible hlesslncs?
Life Ib a wonderful gift the most
wonderful and the most blessed gift
that the Infinite Clod could plan for
tho objecta of his love. We have
hardly begun to learn how great It
Is, how great it can he. Iteglnniug
nt birth, and throuuh childhood,
youth and age, It stretches out Into
the realms of Ktenilty evor grow
ing VBster and yet more vast In lis
approximation of limitless possibil
ities. If you had not been born you
would never have known life the
sum of all blesulngs.
The unqualified acceptance of life,
with all Its mystery and pain, all Its
labor and weariness, and yet all Its
sweetness and Joy, and all Its latent
potentiality that Is and forever must
be the baslB of true gratitude, the one
great theme for t hunks. VnlesB you
are grateful for life Itself you cannot
be truly glad for anything that life
contains. But being grateful for life
Itself adds a tinge of celestial glory
to every simple blessing and makes
Today skin to the vast Forever.
Glory of the Day.
The feature, the charm, the glory
of Thanksgiving (by Is In the fact
that It Is the day of home coming,
home freedom, home love. It Is a
protest in these latest days against
hotel life. It Is a memorial of the
most powerful civilizing and Chris
tianizing agency of early American
life. It la a plea for the return to
housekeeping and to the domestic in
terests and activities which do so
much for the culture of women and
so much more for the training of
children, and which help manhood to
attain Its soundest, richest, best. Long
may Thanksgiving day remain an In
stitution in this land, for the call to
prayer and praise it gives, and for
the argument and appeal It provides
in favor of the much-depreciated "do
mestic sphere." ltlshop John H. Vin
cent In the Independent.

INSTINCT TO RETURN THANKS
Feeling That la Universal Among Man- 1
kind Ha Root In Knowledg
of Dependence.
j
The Impulse to return thanks for I
the bounty of nature has been prac
tically universal among mankind In
all ages and In all religions. It Is as
natural as the Instinct that Inspire
the hope of Immortality of man's
dependence upon a Biipreme being.
It Is one with the Involuntary appeal
that springs unbidden to the Hps of
alt In the hour of crisis when human
help can do no more.
It is a coincidence worthy of
thought that the one nation which set
aside a day for national thanksgiving
Bhould be the peopta above all others
most hlesBed with peace and prosper
ity. Grumble as we may at the short
comings of our civilization, however
we may think our affnirs should he
ordered better, we should rpfleet that
at no time In the history of the race
has there been a people In possession
of greater advantages, of more gener
ally diffused abundance, with more
oncouraRlng prospects than ourselves.
The problems that confront us are
in our own hands. We will solve
them eventually and others as they
arlBe. We may stumble, may mistake
the path, may be compiled to turn
back to get on the right road, but of
our ultimate progress there can be no
doubt.
Let, therefore, each for hlmHelf and
horpplf, return Individual thank to

THE great American nation take i
a holiday at the bidding of the
president every November. Our !
many states all unite In keeping
the beautiful festival of ThankBglvlng.
Its very name Is suggestive because
the giving of thanks Implies a recog
nition of One, unseen but ever-living,
who sends the world the gifts on
which its existence depends. From .
Almighty God we receive the rain, the
sunshine, the summer's heat and the
winter's cold, the bread we eat. the I
fuel that warms us and the clothing '
wp wear. There are few po foolish or
so stupid as not to believe In tho
great Creator and the kind All-Father,
from whose hand our dally blessing
come. Especially should you and I
have a thought of him when the '
myriad homes of the country are en
joying at this season the gifts that
miiBt be traced directly to the kind
ness of heaven. The great nation
keeps Thanksgiving, but the great na
tion is composed of millions of indi
vidual persons, among them you who
rend and I who write. Suppose we
stop and auk ourselves what we like
beat about this holiday and what spirit
we may most fittingly bring to its
celebration.
First, I think we like it because It
Is so genial and jolly, bo cheerful and
bright, so patriotic and stirring a day.
Thousands of families are reunited at
the Thanksgiving dinner. The trains
that come to New England or Penn
sylvania or Illinois, from California,
Oregon and Nevada, bring home for
Thanksgiving men and women who
want to be boys and girls once more
under the old roof.
I remember watching from a train
as It stopped at a station the delight
ed greeting of a half dozen people who
seemed to be father, mother, sons and
daughters, as they swarmed upon s
dear little old lady who was waiting
to receive them. Her husband, a
white-haired patriarch, who might
have eat for the portrait of Santa
Claus, was holding his horses while
the children and grandchildren
thronged Into the big four-seated
wagon. They had come home for
Thanksgiving. Many such scenes will
be enacted this year, as they have
been every year since our country was
settled
If we have been so unwise as to let
a pessimistic spirit weave its evil Bpell
around us. let ub break the fetter
without delay. Wherever we are, at
homo or abroad, rich or poor, let us be
thankful that we have reached anoth
er golden milestone In life. I repeat
that Thanksgiving is a genial, cheer
ful, wholesome and breezy day. Let
us make the best out of It, and wher
ever we are be as Jolly as we can.
Much to B. Thankful For.
If ever we are tempted to say that
though others have much to be thank
ful for, our lives are bard and our
paths are thorny, let us stop a minute
and see by what standard we are
measuring our blessings. If we look
at u cripple plodding nlong with
mm?

ful that we have feet which serve u. U"lv""1 "k'"
well and that we can walk and run Aout the Institution of ThanksgiT
without so much as considering the ,n " " P,8U tMlay ,her'' U noth
effort. If we see somebody w ho Is I ,n or ',l out over
barefooted, we may he thankful for
shoes. When the rain beats on the
roof nt night we may be thankful for
the house that shelters us. When the
doctor culls next door to see an In
valid who I. tossing with fever we
may be thankful that we are well. If
there are llower. on the door bell
across the street we may be thankful
that there are no vacant chairs In our

THANKS
Season I. a Tim. to B. Olad, and t
Make Other. Around Us Par
take of Our Joy.
Let us make this the best Thanks
giving of our lives. Remember our
gratitude Is not measured by the slz.
of the family larder. Abundance
tends to contentment, but many a
man In limited circumstances Is hap
pier than others of larger meant.
Heal wealth and worth lies not In the
abundance a man hath, but In content
ment's gold. When the heart is full
the whole world Is richer. Your smile
will go a long way toward making
someone else happy. A cheerful life
opens avenues to future achievement
hidden to him who sees no good
around him. The past Is a matter ot
record, the present Ib near and real,
the future Is limited only by yourself.
Make It all It can he, and history will
add a new chapter, and you will be
the hero.
Let us give thanks. The nation
needs the Inspiration of your song.
There are plenty of groans and grunt,
and growls. We need more song.
It hnln't no use to grumble and rnmplalm
It's Just ae cheap and easy to relelce.
, You will feel more manly by being
glad. It adds to your self-respect and
makes you feel that you '.lave a place
In the world. Inspire your age with a
new type of chivalry. Meet drone,
and kickers with a smile and you will
do much to bring In the good time
that Is to he. Wherever you are let
this he a real period of thanksgiving.
Let us see If we cannot add to 'he
world's Joy by the spirit of our o
living
the entire Vnlon the day Is observed
by all Americans alike aa the time for
family reunion, good cheer and gen
eral rejoicing and gratitude.
Spoiled It for Him.

FAVORS for the Thanksgiving din
ner table may he made of pulled
lies, raisins and nuts, held to
gether with toothpicks and topped
with marshmallow heads, the features
outlined In chocolate, Each of these
little figures should be mounted on i1
flat foundation made of a thick, firm
cookie and the toothpick legs made to
stand upright by embedding them In
a little mound of chocolate frosting
which should extend outward to form
I the feet.
Two large raisins, tho stem ends
' thruBt Into the toothpicks, form the
i legs and two small pulled figs Berve
! us a dress, the figs being thrust on
; the toothpicks so that the tapering
; ttem ends shall meet to form a waist
line. Two raisins are used for each
, arm, ending In a single peanut for s
; h.ind.
The marshmallow head Is covered
i with chocolate except on one side.
where chocolate features are drawn
i with a toothpick dipped In melted
: chocolate. A peaked hat made from
half a fig should top the grotesque
little figure.
For this work pulled figs are abso
lutely necessary. Ordinary layer tigs
will not do, as to make the bodies
of these figures the Hks must be of
natural shape. These figs come
packed In small baskets and on"
basket of figs at 2F) cents will make
six favors.
Another style of favor can be fash
ioned from short, thick sticks of
candy. Top the stick with a marsh
mallow head, pinching It round, and
drawing chocolate feutureR and a lit
tle curl down the forehead Press a
couple of flgs very thin and curl them
around the candy doll, keeping them
out from the body by means of tooth
picks held to the stick of candy with
white frosting. If the ntlrk of ciitnly
Is plain white, paint chocolate but
tons down the front and rest the ab
surd little favor on a square of
sugared popcorn.
If these favors are chosen for the
children of the family, the grown i
sons may have siftiethlng different.
Choose paper lorgnons for the wom
en, the eyeglass portion representing
two miniature pumpkins and the long
