Thank God For That By Rev, Davip MorGaN Pastor, Alderson Methodist Church ¢ Many times in the midst of their adversities we have heard men and women pick out some ordinary blessing and exclaim, “Thank God for that”. To some people this represents a sort of sacrilege, but we should realize that deep down in the human heart there is a spirit of gratitude to our Maker for the simple things of life no matter how crudely it may be expressed. These days are fill ith great problems for everyone. nd the ter of s we need the breathe t nk God for’ We have advanced in many ways from the days of our Pilgrim fathers. Yet we too must be grateful for our “daily bread”. In additiogp we must recognize that “man shall not live by bread alone’. Life for Americans means more than mere existence. The beauty of our country, the ideals upon which we have built, and the Christian brotherhood toward which we strive are but a few of the deep-seated reasons why our people keep strong, and in spite of personal heartaches lift their voices toward heaven and whisper, “Thank ‘God for that”. Yes, we have learned to have faith in the goodness of God even when we can not understand why there is suf- fering and sorrow. Life is an eternal “Why?” if we think that it should produce only Happiness and Peace. But these have always come to some because of the Sac- rifice of others. Now in such critical hours everyone on this Thanksgiving Day and daily should humbly bow and ‘pray, “Thank God for that”. No nation has more reasons to be grateful to God than ours. No people have enjoyed more privileges. If some must make the Supreme Sacrifice, as many already have, done, let us remember that the Lord made His Supreme Sacrifice that we might live more nobly. When we feel that our trials are too much for us to bear, let us see the beauty, blessing, and promise that His Sacrifice has brought to our country and to our lives, and let us sol- emnly say, on this Thanksgiving Day, “Thank God for that”. “GOD BE THANKED! This is the hour for praise That He has matched our courage with these days! Has touched our fingers, groping in the night; Illumed our faith with His own Light. “GOD BE THANKED-not just for daily bread, Or for His sheltering wings above us spread, But that, within ourselves, new wisdom springs, New hopes flame up, new laughter rings!” MARY HALLET— 4 ‘Must Be Returned To Us At Once Because of Newsprint Shortage This Coupon !quietly in his sleep early Saturday Medal “for exceptionally meritor-' | at the High School but he said that] ing mortar fire was urgently need- Elmer Parrish, Wounded Dallas Dallas Realtor, Soldier Awarded | DiesIn Sleep The Bronze Star Gave Up Farming To | Sgt.
