We are antici pating the good fellowship and the prospect of the happy reunions which are accompaniments of this an nual celebration. Perhaps, then. It will not be amiss If we dwell a little upon the deeper significance of Thanks giving. It is always an Interesting adven ture and often profitable to trace a word back to Its derivation, and a very cursory research with the aid of a dictionary will reveal to ns the suggestive fact that the words "thanks" and "think" have a common origin. The former, indeed, la an ob solete form of the latter, and required only In course of time and usage Its ■pedal significance of pleased or grateful thinking. With this in mind we may tarn to a passage In the letter which Paul wrote to the Christians In Philippi <of Macedonia—a fetter which la keyed *** -» MfW rmjnn>Htg i and breathes throughout the gladness which should mark the life attuned to the purpose of God. You will find It In what we call the fourth chapter. In the farewell words addressed by Paul to his friends. We quote from Doctor Good speed's translation of the New Testament : "Have no anxiety abont anything, hnt make all yoor wants known onto God In prayer and entreaty, with thanksgiving. Then through your onion with Christ, Jeans, the peace of God, so far above any human thought, will guard your mind and thoughts. Now brothers let year minds dwell on what Is true, what la worthy, what Is right, what is pure, what is amiable, what Is kindly—on every thing that la excellent or praiseworthy. . . . Then God who gives peace will be with you." It la at once apparent that Paul understood the Intimate relation be tween '"thinking" and "thanking." His admonition fhr the thoughtful life is manifestly the underlying basts for thç thankful life. And the thankful life 1» the assurance of the guard ing and companioning peace of God. Paul seta forth the things upon which our minds should dwell—the Crua th e wor thy, the right, th** pare, War Gas Made Useful A war gas made by Prof. Gabriel Bertrand of the Pasteur Institute, has found a peace time ose In the silk In dustry. The silk cocoons ore gassed by small quantities of cMoropIcrta. which has proved exceedingly praetl cal and easy to handle. The gas has been tried In varions «Hk raising ceo marked advantages over killing the This life of right thinking and glad Go the amiable or lovely, the kindly. In his philosophy It was vitally Impor tant that our minds should be oc cupied with such thoughts as these. He understood, as we are understand ing better today, that what is in man's thinking will determine the character of his life. He understood, also, that In order to keep one's think ing on a high and wholesome plane there must be effort and discipline. It was not easy In Paul's day to do The world In which he lived was superficially provocative oftbiuch bitter, evil and nnclean thought In a city like Philipp) there would be many things happening to the Chris tian and many things under bis obser vation to evoke thinking on the baser level. Even In this Joyous letter he felt It necessary to warn hla friends with tears against those whose "appe tites are their god ; who glory In t heir shame, and who are absorbed In earthly matters." It la not easy in onr day to follow Paul's Instruction and example—for be practiced splendidly his own teach ing. What we do not actually see In the happening is brought to os In the news columns of the dally press— things that are evil, indecent, ugly, cruel. We cannot wholly ignore those things; Panl did not in bis day. When necessary he spoke frankly of them, calling a spade a spade. In bis let ters. They are part of the world in which we live—of the world we most help. Bat our effort mast be to dis cipline oar thinking so that they Will not flood and overwhelm onr minds, excluding or submerging thought of better and fiqer things. Even more difficult, perhaps, la It to escape the peril of those "who are absorbed In earthly matters, tide of materialism Is strongly set against the Influences of the spiritual. Unless the channel la kept clear which admits the flow of God's thought we will find ourselves presently with minds Incapable of grasping His par poses and principles, with mindswbtch cannot meditate happily upon Bis truth or which will not respond to what la right and pore and lovely. The possibility of the thankful life, of the life which know« the comrade ship of the God of peace, will be this.

To "np predate" means to "set a value" The roan who has adopted God's standards of values, who gees the true and the good and the lovely and lovable as the worthwhile and abiding things. Is the real appreclator, and for him there will always be occasion for the grate ful thinking which Is thanks. If you And little of It in your mind today there 1» something wrong with your standard of values. You are erring In the practice of "apprecia tion." You have set your heart upon things that are unworthy, temporary, illusory, and they are disappointing you. Take Paul's recipe. Begin to think about all that Is excellent and praise worthy. Take your njlnd, oat of lb* material shadows and into the sun light of God's thought and love. Make your wants known to Him. The spirit of thanksgiving will enter your soul, and the "peace of God, so far above any human thought," will come to stand "guard'' at your mind's gate way._________ .
