OREGON, NOVEMBER 20, 1941 VOLL ME XXXV PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR WINNING YEAR ON MAPLE COURT LARGE TURNOUT GREETS COACHES Sr Ur Chankful Thankfulness means a sense of gratitude for things that have eased our way of life and a willing ness to express it. We may also be thankful that we may have been spared unfortunate circumstances and be glad that even in our depths we may look up wards with that eternal hope that is so closely akin to gratitude to the Giver of all. With thankfulness and hope we are able to appreciate the blessings and rise above the obstacles. Suppose we do as some and assume the attitude of ingratitude. They have no spirit of thankfulness for the thousand and one things that should brighten their lives and seem to attempt to impersonate Old Scrooge. Just try it once and make yourself sour, mean and unappreciative, and get a real experience in the devil’s way of existence. Perhaps most of us cannot do this, but there are a few, and to these we ask that you forget the high spirit of thankfulness, the grace of gratitude, love of your fellow man, and try to be just so mean, miser able and selfish that the gates of hell cannot keep you out. Then in the depths of your self imposed corruption and weariness of evil doing, look about for that grain of mustard of faith, listen to the tones of hope—for they are everywhere. Try to touch the wings of gratitude (for it is omni present) and slowly, perhaps, from such a dismal conception, you will begin to realize that thankful ness is the road to God. Take a thought of all the beauties of living in a world supplied with all the blessings for mind, body and soul which the Creator has left at your own doorstep and you will have true thankfulness.
