Mr. Parker’s Thanksgiving p0em is one that makes us think—not just an outpouring of thanks f„r “materialI thin**," many, the usual type.

To many, there will be different meanings, the mea. ' ay <>f K'atitude—'Thanksgiving. There is one who has summed up of !n JUS| a fcw worc,s- Dr- William Peter King states: “First, it is a debt • md intrrv m n ('ra,i,Uflc is due all men who minister to us in our complex r;, . . ' a, relationships. In the realm of spiritual values we are indebted to i r iti ."m na*’ons' creeds, and faiths. We are indebted to the men of the past , \ l)nt'clcss heritage they have passed on to us. We have entered into a heri tn.K i sacred by the sacrifice and suffering of saintly spirits through the centuries. '111,1,1 we are indebted to the gratitude of God toward us. Our primary debt lU,‘l 1 uc 1 ls 1° (,°d f°r the joys of life and for the measure of happiness that n l t' "k *° US Pe°P'e are prone to take as a matter of fact the pleasant things ’’ 1 1 11,1 ,uke up the quarrel with God when adversity comes. We are to be -'.i i tui in our sorrows as well as in joys. Gratitude in suffering springs out of the 'i'"1,11,1 discernment that good results follow in the perfection of character. An " ' P”< m lrom the 11th century expresses the boundless mercy God has for us. Listen: Could we with ink. the ocean fill, Were every blade of grass a quill. Were the world of parchment made. And every man a scribe by trade. To write the love of God above Would drain that ocean dry, Nor would the scroll Contain the whole Though stretched from sky to sk\.“ ’fcs this is a day when all should have hearts and minds filled with deep grat itudc. There will always be those who are the purveyors of doom and destruction but the assurance of victory rests on the fact that God is still a God of love. He constructed the world in such a way that nothing will really work but moral conduct. "Fierce though the fight, Long though the angel hide We know that truth and right Have the universe on their side." BE GRATEFUL THIS SEASON OF THANKSGIVING TO GOD, THE GIVER OF EVERY PERFECT GIFT.
