Thanksgiving
Day?'
Some folks say;
"Whv Thanksgiving, why this special
I see Thanksgiving everywhere.
Give "thanks" for "this-n-that" here and there.
Give thanks for friends old and new,
For kith and kin too.
For a home warm and "comfy' inside,
Loving, too, like the folk who within abide.
For a home land wide and free,
That gives so much to all especially me.
For mountain high and valley low,
For amber fields of grain;
For gardens green, trees and flowers;
All things that grow.
For loving arms that reach to me.
For baby lips with kisses free;
For health and strength beyond my years.
The heart to smile when prone to tears.
The courage to kneel and pray.
To give "Thanks" each day.

united in Corvallis
Pastor's Corner
Be thankful
Janice Plumb and Rory
Stillman were united in mar
riage June 12, at the Suburban
Christian Church, Corvallis.
Janice, who is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard
Plumb, Corvallis. OR, wore a
gown of slipper satin and lace,
which she designed and made.
The groom is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. George Stillman,
Heppner. He wore a blue
tuxedo trimmed in black
velvet, also made by the bride.
John Sumner was the best
man and Phil Plumb, brother
of the bride, Doug Johnson,
cousin of the bride, and Berle
Stillman, brother of the
groom, were groomsmen.
Ushers were Randy Still
man, brother of the groom,
Bruce and Mark Plumb,
brothers of the bride.
Officiating at the double
ring ceremony was Bernard
Plumb, assisted by Ulysses S.
Chi Ids. grandfather of the
bride and Don Johnson, uncle
of the bride. Mr. Johnson is
the former minister with the
Heppner Christian Church.

Thanksgiving is here again. It Is time
when most people celebrate the harvest and
the many blessings God has bestowed upon
im. In many homes around America, the
tables will be laden with food and people will
father to eat more than they should on this
national holiday. The question occurs to me,
how do we thar.k God for his many gifts?
: gave children's sermon once, where t
Invited all the young people to come to the
iuolbfth churth ItipUioed la them that I
anted to thank them all for coming So I look
Out a big bag of candy and proceeded to eat it
In front of them, telling them all the time how
thankful I was that they had come Not the
fe-t way to show my thankfulness
-. Often I see Thankgmng celebrated in a
Similar way. We art thankful to God for his

or related causes.
Thce large numbers are not jusl figures on
a piece of paper, but they are real people just
like you and me. In a remote Ecuadorian
village, the people rejoice when a child Is
stillborn because it means the babe has
become an "angelito" without months or
years of suffering. Autopsies of children who
die there reveal stomachs full of roots and
dirt.
It is recorded in the bonk of St Matthew,
that Christ told the people, "Truly I say to
you. as you did it to one of the leant of !hee
my brethren, you did it to me " How are we
thanking God for blewsings? How do we
