The peoplo of the United States will to-day tako their holiday, and to some it will be merely a holiday, while to others it will be a day for returning thanks for the blessings of life. The American people in their bless ed abundance should give sincere thanks to the Great Giver of all good to-day. Peace, prosperity and plenty abide with us. Let us not only give thanks to-day, but let them look on every side for the children of sorrow to make them join in thanks to God and humanity. The poor aro always with us, and "into each lifo some rain must fall." Those who have health and abund ance to be thankful for to-day must fail in ther thanksgiving if thoy shall not temper some brother's sorrow or bring some ray of sunshine where the shadows of sorrow reign. Give thanks to-day, The God of Nations has blessed us with health and plenty. He has made our own green land the home of the happiest people of His footstool. Looking over the length and breadth of the land, wo see much to bo thankful for. Tho people of this country, numbering more than 70, 000,000, have every reason to be con tented with their lot. Our form of government is the most perfect ever devised, and while the burdens of government sit lightly upon us, we enjoy to the fullest all the liberties wo can desire. In material welfare our country is prosperous. The ohildren have schools open to them ; churches with pastors, whose tender ministrations are affectionately be stowed on all alike, dot the land; and the best influences, sweetening life, and carrying sunshine into every home, pervade our entire country. When we take a more particular view, we find that charity abounds, and the refining sentiments of the Christian religion are deep-rooted in the hearts and lives of the people. The world we live in, here in Amer ica, grows in virtue while expanding in material wealth, and it gets better and better as education is diffused and as the Gospel is made the light of the homes. There is a deeper spirit of humanity, a larger love for our kind, a more practical charity of the sort inculcated in the Sermon on the Mount, and a more perfect reali zation of universal brotherhood and of the truth that no man liveth unto himself. Indeed there has been progress along the right lines. And it so happens that this spirit does not wear itself out by exercise, but grows upon itself and is renewed with in crease instead of diminishing by con tinual practice. Let all give thanks, and let each one see that the clouds of sadness are lifted from some child of misfortune, and thus doubly give thanks to Him who taught that the merciful shall know mercy. Give thanks to-day.
