These two attributes of tie Atm ' ¡i nn ; • iple fully express the secret of America's success us n nation. The growth of the nation has been In nccord with the extension of these Ideas. They are both home Ideas, nnd therefore they nrt' hoth'ldcHH thnt express the Inner spirit of the <lny of thanksgiving. The fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of mnn—these were the lending conceptions of the Pilgrim Fa thers. They are the leading concep tions of the sons of tim e fathers to day. They ar»' the com • [ ions at run never be made hackneyed by hyt critical use or by designing abuse. They will stand forth In the genius anil action of the Antcricnn people un til each year shall add praise to praise In the measure of the fullness of rea sons for the giving of thanks. Peace, provision, protection—these are the pri7.e«l possessions of n na tion whose one nltn Is to • alt the ends of human liberty, to extend hu man democracy and nt exult the Ideal.* of human equality.

The old cry, “llajh God fergotten to be gracious?" needs no longer lie voiced. God Im* not forgot- teh to be gracious. So that, as the Americans ii'-sembte in their churches ou the day set apart for ex|iressing na tional gratitude, they will rejoice above all else that the tuition of free men lias adopted a* its motto: “Whom the Lord makes free Is free indeed.** Let them rejoice that America is bent upon proclaiming liberty to the entire tonnds of the earth. The curse of nu- tiMTiicy, the curse of a blasphetnou* assumili ion that God Is on the side of the strongest battalions, the curse of d< bnui'her.v of human Ideals and hu man aspirations, the curse of the es tablishment of force in the place of purity; of power In the place of peace —this Is the Cursing that is being wiped out in blood. The blessing of w orld |>e«ce and the prevalence of the spirit of brotherhood and of mutual advancement for the people's—such is the peace that is living wrought out. Ttie United States has placed ijs all nn the altar, realizing Jbat sacrifice is the noblest virtue of a nation. Hence.' while exuberance tuny not abound, the spirit of thanksgiving Is till»' d with praise over the mighty manner In which the mind of t]ic Al mighty is being made clear in th«' movements of the times; with the United States playing a leading part in its Impressive unfolding. iw > ¡LU; O Bird of Joy Much More Than Material Are the Blessings for Which We Now Give Thanks. ■^T IS to be hoped that this Thanksgiving will not be a pa pm hottriny, and that those wh° do render thanks will do so not as a heathen philosopher, boasting that he is not as other men, but in greater hu mility because he has perhaps been more greatly blessed than others. Outside of the many material bless ings that have come to the American people during the past year, which are good in so much as they contribute to wholesome human happiness, there is reason for the people of this country upon this Thanksgiving day to he un usually thoughtful concerning their lilac«. In the world, and to remember how this eminence has been obtained. AVho can look back and not see the hand of Providence shaping the des tiny of America? This liberty which Is the marvel and rhe hope of the world today was set np on these shores by Godfearing men—the pioneers who Inn'.ignrated this very Thanksgiving holiday. It was for the love of the service of Go«l that liberty was estab lished in America, and it was this lib erty that has been the basis of our na tional greatness and which is to be the political salvation of the world. America cannot look back upon Its history without seeing God, and by taking thoneht cannot fall to acknowl edge its gratitude for all his benefits. With that stage of our development laisse«] we are now permitted to enter upon that new era when America par ticipates In abolishing tyranny and in justice, ever hateful to God, and to carry to the oppressed nations of th? world those principles of liberty through which our own chief blessings have come. This is the supreme service that one nation can render to another—to safe guard the lib ies of Its people. In this momentous (imp the burden of our Thanksgiving this year It seems should he that we are to be chief’ among the ministers In working out the Divine purpose to have nil men—Greek nnd Barba rian—free. No Time to Abandon Custom. It Ims long been the honored custom of otir people to turn in the fruitful mil mini of the year in prttise and thnnksgixing to Almighty God for bi* ninny blessings and mercies to us as a nation. That custom we can follow now. even in the midst of the tragedy of a world shaken by war mid Itumeas- tirnble disaster. In the midst of sorrow and great peril. Turkey Belongs to America.
