THANKSGIVING THOUGHT
With the approaching of Thanksgiving, thought is turned
toward celebrating In a great big way among many people.
"Oh give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good; for His
mercy endureth forever.” In our preparation, do not forget
| that in times like these with such an extent of misunder
! standing, that it appears no longer safe for citizens to walk
the streets, there is need for a deeper preparation, than
| eating turkeys, and having fun.
i Now Is the time to kneel down and pray that God give
I us strength, to gather In the right company, and assemblage
and demand that the institution of the people be protected,
ihe principle of freedom in the Constitution of America be
carried out for the safety and welfare include all American
j citizens.
Fray that we may have more broadminded men, who are
able to intelligently separate the good from the bad, and
when classifying be careful that ail are not put in the same
category, because of lack of understanding. Let us pray
that dark shadows will not cover the principle of freedom
laid down In the beginning of the world, and reborn in
America in the Constitution of the United States. Pray
that they be carried out unbiased, and enforced to a perfect j
finish for the protection of all the people. j
