He said it was not only the duty but the pleasure of praise for us to give thanks to God All true praise must come rrom the heart, and without that element it is empty and vain in the sight of God. Unless the heart is attuned to God's praises it will not pour out melodies to His Glory.

He shall not be worthilv thankrul until we see God in all our blessings. The choir sang the "Te Deum" as a voluntary,and as an offertory the anthem, "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord.
