OUR BIBLE VERSE
But God commendeth his love
toward us, in that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us..
--Rom. 5:8.

Thanksgiving
Another Thanksgiving time
has roiled around, and we need
to stop and think just what it
really means.
When the Pilgrim Fathers
came to this country they realized
their dependence upon God for'
everything, even life itself, and
then after their first harvest their
first thought was that of thanks-
giving to God for His protecting
care over them.
To a certain extent we have
lost that sense of utter depend-
ence upon God, since there are
no dangers or hardships of a pi-
oneering, life to overcome, as they
did, hence there is less thanks-
giving to God.
We need to realize that every
breath of air we breathe is
through God's goodness and
mercy. Even though times have
been hard, yet we have many
things to be thankful for.
Thanksgiving has become a
time of hunting, feasting and
visiting with little thought for
the real meaning of the occasion.
How can one really enter into
the true spirit of the occasion
when they do not acknowledge
God in their lives in any way
whatsoever? We have heard mer-
chants thank the people for their
business, but did not give God
. any thanks at all.
Let's be thankful for what we
have.
The heathen countries have
nothing on us. We have a lot of
idle worshippers too.
A cat is supposed to have nine
lives. Tarzan must have a lot
i
,: more than that, because it seems
to be pretty hard to get him
killed.
The football coaches have been
fooling their players all these
years. They have been trying to
keep thei/" players from smoking,,
but a tobacco company has made
the important discovery that
their cigarets are beneficial to
football players. Since they give
so much energy, the winning
team would be the one that could
buy the most cigarets.
We ought to get a pie for ad-
y.ertiiag all these pie suppers.
