For What God Has Given . . .
Let Us Be Truly Thankful
THERE IS A PRAYER we would utter now—as Thanksgiving comes
again to America. A prayer we live and feel and know—but cannot
find the countless words—the million tongues and voices to repeat.
IT COMES FROM THE CENTURIES that have moulded this nation
—and made her great and strong. It comes froth the canyons of tower
ing cities ... from the echoing quiet of countless city : . streets from the
roaring tumult of industry . . . and a fisherman hauling his nets.
IT IS THE HEART OF A NATlON—giving humble thanks. For bless
ings we cannot measure. For gifts we cannot appraise. It is a people
—saying- in one reverent voice: "Thank God I live in America."
IT IS :'A PEOPLE AWARE; as never before; of the greatness of their
nation. •The-. wealth .of ter resources. The riches in her lands. The
strength and courage and unity of her people. A people .giving thanks
for a • nation built from a wilderness to limitless - power. 'To stand firm
against those who would_ plunder and steal„and enslave. And thank
ing a beneficient God for His gifts.
IN A: ORLD, LONG SUFFERING from the barbarism and cruelty
Of war—we have lived in a land 'of peaceful sky and earth. There has
been no ceaseless horror in the heavens above us. No endleis devasta
tion to lay our lands awl homes in 'waste. No despot rules that our
children shall starve and die.
WE ARE FREE. Free, in a world of prejudice and intolerance. Free
to live and speak and act and work S and worship as we choose. Free
to elect our own - leaders. Free to live by the laws of our own_making.
Free lo:decide our destines. For this we give thanks—and pray that
God may guide, us in the exercise of this freedom—that others of the
earth, now slaves, may share it. That in the end—they may again be
free.
AMERICA GIVES THANKS, for the man who saw with clear,-un
flinching eyes, the nation'sto be. Who fought as we fight in the cause
of freedom and humanity and brotherhood. And for those who' now
fight—knowing that history has given few men the privilege of fighting
for so great a cause. ' .
THIS, THEN, IS THE GREATNESS OF AMERICA. And in our pray
er of thanks4 - -there would be the' voices of all who share . this nation's .
glory. All who nowt-work and save and fight as one—that no power,
however great...xnav „evet:Lber.alloWettfp,..aisilUlt
