"He that urge* gratitude pleads the cause of both God and MO. for with out It we can neither be sociable nor religious," says the pagan philosopher, Seuecn. Thanksgiving, then. It this be true, Is not only an act of worship, but an Influence for social advancement. Gratitude la said to be the rarest of vlrluee. yet It exists, and It runs like a golden chain throughout society, bind Ing men together. Nor la it as ran- as we are likely from experience and oh servatlon to think It Is. False grati tude may be eloquent, but It Is not easy to express real gratitude In words “No metaphysician ever felt the dell clency of language so much ns (he grateful,'' and through that deficiency gratitude la often dumb. Neither Is conduct a true teat, for circumstances may deny the opportunity of Its ex pression, or conflicting circumstances may prevent Ita expression when op portunity arises. There Is much grail tude In the world, between men and men, for which evidence Is lacking, yet there Is probably no man who cannot recall a feeling of gratefulness within himself which he never voiced and for favors which he never requited. Know ing more of our own thoughts and feelings than we do of those of others we are likely to think the quality of gratitude Is our peculiar possession, and cynlcully to agree with Rochefou cauld that “gratitude in the generality of men I. only a strong and secret wish to receive still greater benefits.” Undoubtedly there la much on the sur face to Justify that view, hut while the quality of real gratitude may vary con aldcrably tn Ita atrength there are few If any who ar« wholly lacking, and the mere consciousness of It makes It a potent fore« In the social advancement of man. Whether thanksgiving be ex pressed or withheld it la an Influence for betterment within every one of na, for the feeling toward others la the teat of our souls. But If that la true ns between men, It Is much more true, and a much more potent Influence, between men and God ts • ..in,.u |s the menaure. rT”HF ipirit of the Pre*t-O-I.ite guarantee, even more than the definite phrasing, is your greatest protection.

If it Is a mere utterance of the lips It has no meaning, no -mat ter how eloquently worded, reasons a writer In the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. If It does not come from the heart It Is a mockery: «nil the deeper Its feel ing. even though It be dumb, the closer it brings one to its divine objective. No ]iean of praise enn reach one-half so high as the thankful thought, which In Itself Is a prayer. It is more than an acknowledgement of benefits. It Is an nutpouring of spirit, an uplifting of the invisible self Into contact with Its source, with a consequent enrich ment of new strength and new courage. Gratitude, as the old pagan said, is * essential to religion. There is no reli gion where there is no gratitude. And the power of religion is Iu exact pro portion to the sense of thaukfulness It Inspires. That does not mean that God Is a great almagiver who dispenses charity for the revinrd of appreciation. He gives because he is Gcal, and giving is the expression of his unaltering goodness. He gives freely regardless of thanks. He cannot be bribed to larger favors by gratitude. The effect of gratitude Is upon ourselves, in the exercise of our souls and ill the ap proach to deity through that exercise, which Is the essential essence of reli gion. And that effect may be collective as well as Individual. We are today a nation engaged in thanksgiving. We are. In totality, h hundred million souls expressing gratitude to Him for His blessings to us as a people. If that Is a mere formality It is nothing—it Is worse than nothing. We may be quite sure that God does not delight iu rhetoric that is but sounding brass and tinkling cymbals. We may tie equally sure that we as a nation are not ad vanced or uplifted by sermons or pray ers or speeches that, however beauti fully attired, are but words. But If that thankfulness is real. If It is felt! within. If we are conscious of It. if Itsl expression conies from the heart, then! Is the soul of the nation raised upll thereby, and given a linger vision, an! increase of power, a nearer approachf to the glory of divinity, by the exercise of the spirit within us. reaching out to clasp hands with Its creator and the source of all Ita strength. And manifestly there is abundant reason for that gratitude and its ex pression. We need not, we cannot, "count our blessings one by one," as the song entreats us to do. They are too many for counting, too overwhelm ing foj measurement. We who but e short century ago were relatively in significant now stand at the forefront of the nations of the earth, admittedly supreme In Its leadership.
