RELIGION BASED i

"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

of devotion. 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. We are self-
contained, self-controlled, prosperous
above all other peoples. We find our­
selves, In this year of His grace, direct­
