Life is precious so every beginning for Thanksgiving thoughts grateful for existence itself, There may forms of life somewhere in sg boutsd less hugnan beings should appreciate the grow gpiritaclly on a mundane globe Next to life we would be thankful for the dom that the Almighty has decreed women We live our lives under no compulsion but our own willingness to attempt to approach the Pivine Spirit in relationship with other struggling human beings. So, while the shadow of sorrow blots out peace, we should appreciate our spiritual frees dom. a gift beyond comparison Men and women of today should be thankful for the upward struggle of men, which hay gradusiy shaped fof us a world of industry intelligence vhere all enjoy the fruit, of the of the past Barn as helple« 3 infant we inherit the greatness of former residents of the earth and we profit by their experiences, good and bad, It is magnificent legacy that the former have bequeathed to those alive now and it should be accepted with thanks The slowly developeg civilization of the raee ia expressed in material progress, which comes to us without cost and is often enjoyed without ag enre- leds thought as Lo the source and the strength of our way of life Strongly challenged, as it is today, our conception of man's place in nature belongs to the ages and shall endure if the men and women oi the present are courageous in faith and intelli gent in action On Thanksgiving Day reverent Americans look with faith to God, giving testimony to their belief dn a Supreme Being, Interesied in the welfare of men and the development of saints, It is a religious day of deep emotion, too often disregarded for lesser interests as. individuals seek to escape from every day trials, Unfortunately, the churches of the land sometimes take the lead in the "black out” and, for the convenience of the unconcerned provide no ser. vice for the devoutly minded. We do not expect every resident of this com- munity toc be worship-minded on Thanksgiving Day but we believe that there are many citizens anxious to participate in religious services on the day set apart by Presidential proclamation as an occasion to return thanks to the Divine Being It is impos- sible to expect all people to agree upon any phoss of religious thought but it is essential that those whe desire a Thanksgiving service should find ohe avaliable on Thanksgiving Day. individual and, as a let ug be be higher universe but opportunity to free. for men and and Age VOur JAP CRISIS AHEAD?
