Thanksgiving is
Unique Holiday,
Minister Stales
(Continued from page one)
of the Pilgrims' as a focal point.
What can be learned from this
act of piety of the Pilgrim Fath
ers'.’
We hear much today about re
ligious experience and there is
probably nothing more common.
In the broad sense of the phrase,
anyone who has ever attended a |
single church service, anyone who
has ever read, heard, or said a
prayer, has had, to some extent.
.. . .. necessity Our,;. in nee
is made up of all that we have
seen, or heard, or done, and there
are a great number of religious
symbols abroad in the world.
Whether the effects of our re
ligious experiences ever do any
thing to our life is another ques
tion but at least there are few
who can say that they have nevei
had the experienct of something
in connection with religion This
incident in the life of the Pil
grims is a little different from
most other experiences of a re
ligious nature. How can it be of
any importance to us today?
In the first place. I believe this
religious experience of the Pil
grims’ can havt meaning for us
today because it was a national
religious experience. As they ga
thered together to offei their .
thanksgivings to God at that first i
autumn festival, wi dan see there 1
the first body of Christians n!1
New England In that act of I
thanksgiving, in that act of wor- j i
ship, they gave. unkno\ ..igly. the j *
American nation of the future n j1
beautiful heritage. They left the 1
nation with an act of piety that 1
has never been forgotten Here 1 •
was a group of the country's* first 1
settlers who found the firm and j 1
inspiration to designate a partic- j
ular time to offer their special '
thanksgivings to God. It was an H
expression of the entire group I 1
and it was designated by the 1
civil authority. In a sense, tht s
day is still observed as it was in!'
its beginning. It is a national hoi- 1
iday appointed by the civil au- I
thority when all people are to 1
offer their thanks to God. The
Government has appointed it. not
the Churches and though we en
joy separation of Church and ,
State in this country, it is not
absolute.
The day is unique in another
way since it is the one da\ in the
year when, as a whole, the var
ious bodies of Christians through
out the country join for a ser
vice of worship. Exactly what is
taking place here today And the
feebleness of modern Christianity 1
is perhaps no mort clcarl\ dem
onstrated than in this one fact; ’
that it has to depend upon out- <
side authority, the authority of '
the civil power, before its var- •
ious denominations will come to- .
gether to worship. Instead of the <
churches taking the lead and t
making the effort to understand '
each other better, we have wait- I
ed for this one day each year to s
witness to (wu^rommop, both in It
■pO If,1.’. ' G'. th'- j'ifci of coming *
is a fact for which ail Chnstiansjl
should be grateful, it is a fact be- |
vond which all Christians bodies It
must strive to advance. The i
Churches in America must make t
more of concerted effort to un- t
derstand each other better and t
Christians ought always work t
and pray for such understanding s
to occur. The world has become t
too strong for a divided Christen- 11
dom. Whereas this condition al- c
most encourages Christian hod- \
les to fight and compel* against
each other, a united Christendom t
could concern itself chiefly and t
wholeheartedly to those main on- t
emics of God. "The World, the r
flesh, and the de\il". The disuni- (
ty of the Christian Church is the 1
great sin against our Lord and \
the restoration and healing of 1
that breach must he continually t
in the forefront of all Christians, c
The Church is the Body of Christ
of which Jesus Christ is the Head r
and all baptized people its mem- >
hers and before it can e ver sue- j
feed in bringing any kind «.f e
peace to mankind. A must first :
i nd unity, harmony and peace I
vithin itself.
A seceend truth which, it seems e
t > me, we can garner from this i
>■ ligjous experience of the Pil- .
j ’ inis' is the very simple, plain. ,
and obvious example of their giv
ing of thanks to God. They did
not have to do so but they gave
thanks because they were grate
ful. No ime or mithing either than
their religious consciousness com
pelled the-m to gather and wor
*hip. And their example , which
? gave birth to the day, also showed
"the way in which it should be ob
served. If we are to be true to

to God. That is why, I h<>pe, you
aro here today.
In his autobiography G. K.
Chesterton makes this distinction
between the Christian and the
atheist. He says that the differ
ence between them lies in just
this one thing - the ability to be
thankful. An atheist, he says, is a
person who takes everything in
life for granted and the Christian
is one who takes everything in
life for gratitude. To the1 atheist,
the thought never occurs how
wonderful the world is, even at
its worst, and how wonderful it
is that he should be here to see
it Tin Christian he says on thi
other hand, is grateful even for
the miraculous beauty of the dan
delion on his front lawn: he holds

this with its fact like the glory of
th«' sun in miniature." Y* s, the
Christian is the person above all
others who ought to bt thank
ful "We thank God for our crea
tion. preservation, and all the
blessings of this life but above
all for his inestimable love in the
redemption of the world by our
Lord Jesus Christ."
Thanksgiving Day is not a day
primarily for the family to gath
er around the table, laden with
turkey, cranberries, potatoes am,!
j]hvv, and all the other delica
■ies of tin traditional Thanksgiv

igious expel tenet of the Pilgrim
iarty can be meaningful to us
uday is because it gives us an
Illustration of a Christian rela
ionship of God. We have said
hat the Pilgrims gavi thanks
0 God but why did they offer
hose thanks? Why did they do
uch a thing? They offered their
hanks becausi they were all able
1 sec first of all what God had
one for them. The recognition of
hat He had done in their lives
receded their offering of thanks
i Him. God first; man second;
hat is the sequence and that is
he pattern of religion. And we
lust recognize the blessings that
lod has given us before we can
i thankful. It is east to say that
i'c ought to be thankful but un
ss we can see things to be
hankful for, what good will it
o to bt told to be thankful
So the tirst thing which each in
lividual must do, that being the
ante first thing which the Ptl
irims did, is to see w hat God has
lone in our life. It is only after
eeing our blessings that we can
it- thankful. It is interesting to
earn from the Gallup poll that 99
iut of KM) Americans arc thank
ul We wonder, though, if 99 out
if every 100 will observe the day,
ind not merely enjoy it.
Many of our blessings arc social
n nature while many others are
ndividual. Wc live in a free
country because men before us
rave died and are dying in the
druggie for that freedom. And
hough families have suffered
losses because of those struggles,
jur land has still been spared the
devastation of war. We who re
main, however, must never for
get that the freedom which we
enjoy Wuj paid by tile blood uf
Two Cars Crash

those valiant men who died.
We live in a country where,
scientifically, we have more con
veniences than any people have
ever enjoyed. The wonders of
medicine have given us the
chance to live longer and in bet
ter health. These things and oth
ers we enjoy because we are
members of society; we are mem
bers of one another and of the
human ran which has provided
these things through its accumu
lated industry and intelligence.
Every person knows best the
blessings he has received individ
ually from God and with the help
of the Christian fellowship, he
should always continue thankful
for additional blessings.
When Guglielmo Marconi in
vented the wireless telegraph, the
lirst message which he trails- j
milted over the machine were i
the words, "What has God j
wrought?" In spite of all the work
that he has done on the experi
ment, in the knowledge of the
discoveries which scientists be
torc him had made leading up to
information in that field of teleg
raphy, Marconi saw that behind
all of that human endeavor, God
was to be recognized first. The
sound waves were his creation;
the mind ot man was His greatest
creation, so the inventor recogniz
ed God as the source of the dis
covi r\ He said n.oL "Wh-g,*..
. ' ' . * waB 1
ha- t.i od wrought. j
What has l loo wTou^aT^T^T your
life for which you ought to be
thankful Family, friends, home,
work, w hatever it is, be thankful
to God and show your thanks
"not in words only but in deeds”.
Thank God for himself and for
His Son; thank Him for his Hous
es of worship which help you to |
learn of Him and provide a place
for you to worship Him. Thank
Him for the privilege of knowing
him though that worship and
prayer. Do we, like the atheist
take all these blessings for grant
ed, or do we, like Christians take
them with gratitude? Gratitude is
the test and gratitude is the cri
terion. If we follow the example
of the Pilgrim fathers, w'c shall
both look for our blessings from
God and then go on to offer our
thanks unto Hint.
These three truths then come
to us from out of our nation's
past as a reminder of tin mean
ing of Thanksbiving Day. We see
some of our earliest forefathers
gathering together to express
their thanks to the Almighty God
who had sustained them and giv
en th*-m of thj fruits of the earth.
Their hearts were filled with
gratitude. It was a national re
ligious experience which this na
tion honors and observes. And
they met together to offer their
thanks only because they look
ed for and found first of all in
their lives thosi things that God
had done tor them. We commemo
rate this day with our thanks to
God and we pray that we shall
never fail to see those things in
our lives which God has wrought
Hnd for which we ought to be
thankful.

thanks unto the Lord, and to
