THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 29. 1911 9 THE DEACON'S THANKSGIVING illis Hevwkirvs Copyrtfht, 1810, by American Praia Association. OLD Daacon Bedell wit the cheeriest man You'd meet with In miny day. H 'lowed that the Lord had a pretty food plan For running the world, and he'd say. "I'm thankful that thing are about a they are- Thcy could be a mighty sight wuss An' the thing we've complained of the loudeit so far Have proved to be blessln's to us." When others lamented the drought he'd reply, "It's better than havln' a flood. An we ought to thank God when the weather Is dry That we don't have to waller in mud." Yet when It was stormy he'd never complain. But say with Immutable trust. "The Lord In his goodness has sent us the rain To Isy the dlscomfortin' dust." When adversity smote him It fell like the dew On a mountain's Imper vious crest. For his simple philosophy held to the view That everything worked for the best. And for others' misfortune he always could find Such sweet consolation to give. It seemed thst he envied the halt and the blind The lives they were des tined to live. One day he was caught in thrashing machine It cost him a leg. but ha said. "That's iettin oft cheaper thanome I'm thankful It wasn't my head." And always thereafter he stumped on a peg Or patiently went with a crutch. Declaring. "I'm aavin s lot on that leg My socks only cost half as, much." When his end was approaching he said, with a smtle, A they folded his hands on his breast. "I've worked pretty hard a conld"able while. An I'm thankful to git a good rest." So he went through the world strewing smiles on his way, And the neighbors surviving htm tell That, no matter what happened, it seemed every day Was Thanksgiving for Eira Bedell.
