WHAT THANKSGIVING MKAXS IT HAS been said that Thanksgiv ing Is tho ono holiday that com bines religion and patriotism. Yet In tho common o'sorvnnco of It there is very little of clthor. It Is too often reduced to a feast and nothing moro. Why should not tho idea of offer ing thanks for somo great National blessing during each year bo mado mora prominent, especially In giving tho meaning at tho day to chlldron? This year it Is Peace that claims our dovotlon and our thanks. In every year tltcro Is somo occurrence of this sort. Of course tho old Idea was to glvo tjianks for bountiful crops and National prosperity. This Is good, but why not add to it thanks for special blcsslngB both to Individuals and to tho Nation? A good thing to read on Thanks giving Day, if ono feels that tho trials nud tribulations of tho year outwolgh tho componsiitlous, Is tho prayer of Robert Louis StovcuBou, tho poot, written during his last Illness In Samoa. It breathes tho very cssonco of tho Thanksgiving spirit, lloro It is: "Wo tlinnk TI100 vfor this place in rthlcli wo dwell; for tlio Iovo that unites us; for tho Ipcuro accorded us this day; for tho liopo with which wo ov pect tho tomorrow; for tho health, tho uoik, the food and tho bright Hides that inaku our liven delightful; for our friends in nil pmtH of tho earth." $!
