MERCHANTS OF
GRAIN
by Dan Morgan is an account of how wheat
has become a central factor in world
diplomacy. It is a' fascinating analysis of the
five grain merchants - Cargill, Continental,
Louis Dreyfus, Bunge and Andre' - that control
the world grain distribution system.
The BIG FIVE grain companies are con-
trolled by SEVEN of the world's richest most
powerful and uncommunicative FAMILIES -
private, centralized, OLIGOPOLIES (several
large firms control the price system) that do
not publish financial statements!

questions "How long is it
since we have taken time to
count our many blessings?
Which ones would we place
at the top of the list?" Many
people take God's goodness
for granted with the idea
"The world owes me a
living".
Another question made the
congregation really think

because we work harder but
only because God has placed
us in this bountiful land and
gives us more than we
deserve.
There are many who
respond to His goodness with
humble and grateful hearts,
but what a terrific loss it is to
those who refuse to accept
the blessings God has for us.
God grant us eyes to see how
good He is to us and grant us
hearts to recognize all His
blessings, so we may be the
channel through which His
blessings amy be passed to
others not only on
Thanksgiving Day but every
day of our lives.
