T
HE festival of harvest time
Is upon us. 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

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

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

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.

One of the moat novel reference
plied by an East Loadon vicar for
to your dictionary again. 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
