PATTERSON GBOVB NEWS Bp;/ and comments By Mr?. Thunnan Seism Thanksgiving isn't a matter - of form. It goes much deeper than that, for instance we do not give tLnnka. merely because our forefathers did, bat rather to the dilates of our / own hearts. In order to get the full meaning of Thanksgiving we must read what the Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesiana 5:19, "Be filled with the Spirit, speaking one to another in psalms and hymns spiritual songs, sing s ing and making melody with yoiTr hearts to the Lord, giving thanks always far all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to Qod the Father; subjecting yourselves one to another out of reverence for Christ, for the christian n\nn or woman Thanksgiving is an abiding thing. A Tbnstant attitude, a habitual response. It Jiesn't depend upon the weather. Our* possession, or the lack of it. But rather a difference in moral character of our spiritual understanding. Begin every day with thanksgiving and end the same. Thanksgiving services will be held Thursday night at 7:00 with Rev. W. Roberts^ in charge.
