Thankful
The Pilgrim Fathers endured hardships which we
would shudder to face. They lacked nearly all of
the conveniences that we now regard as necessities.
Of necessity, they werp frugal and thrifty.
Yet they set aside a day of Thanksgiving and gave
thanks for blessings that we wouldiconsic^er hardships
How much more should we be thankful! How
much easier it should be for us to practice thrift with
out suffering from inconvenience and want!
Let us truly be thankful!
