A greater miracle than gifts Thy love for us hath wrought: A larger light has come to us Who, miserly, hath sought Too commonplacely after Thee, Asking but bread and gold, Forgetful of that inward good By which men's minds unfold To comprehend Thee, who did'at make Them in Thine image fair, To seek that image in themselves, Enshrine and hold it there. Through doors of sorrow we have come, By paths of pain and tears, By ways of sacrifice and stress, From depths of abject fears, To find the old truth stands unmoved: Thou art our Sun and Shield; Before the might of Thy right arm The strongest foe must yield; Thou art our Tabernacle, there We shelter and we pray; Thou art the Life of all our life; Thou, our eternal Way. Our Feast of Thanks we humbly spread; Thou art our Honored Guest.

Corinthians, xiv,, 16. Thanksgiving Day takes a high place among our national holidays. We do well to .celebrate on July 1, the birthday of our otvn Dominion, to ex- perienee at Christmas the noble con- tagion of giving, to encourage the serious thoughts and hopes of New 'Year's Day, to commemorate the birth of Victoria the Good, but the signifi- cance of Thanksgiving Day males it our most sublime national act, It is our noblest gesture—a confes- sion of the supremacy of God, a thanksgiving for many obvious bless- ings; a pledge of loyalty to divine principles which insure the happiness and prosperity of men and nations, Why is it that nearly all the peoples of the earth have in their development arrived at one common decision—that the first and most important words to be taught to every child are "Thank you"? It is because of universal ex- perience that the thankless chill? is wretched and dangerous; that the thankful child es happy and helpful, The distinction is true of nations. Our country has abundant cause for grati- tude. For the glorious part site took in the Great Conflict; for the steadfast way she faros her reconstruction problems; for our vast resources; for the song of the harvester, the hum et rho factory, the wealth of the mines, the whirr of the saw en the big timber; but more than these, for our human resources—tile Canadian men and women of high ideals, keen minds, warm hearts and strong, prac- tical hands; these aro our treasures. For peace at home; for the increas- ing inspiration of the example of those 'who gave all for our safety and honor; for the Jaeger morality and patelotism contributed by our return- ed leen which stimulates all our civil- ian life. For our vision of duty at this hour -•-to help make war impossible through n limue of nations ,whose provisions sh;li be effective, reeee t- able and honorable; to male victorious in every part of our national life those ideals of justice, freedom a1t111 human- ity for which eivilizat.oii potted out eta ridtt:,t blood; to show ourselves worthy by au honest eul;stmeut to ex- tend the victory by sacrifice of lux- uides, the cessation of extravagance, criminal in itself and in its influence, by simpler living and unselfish service, by an honest and -persistent effort to solve the industrial problem through enforcing on capital and lebor alike decisions that aro fair to all; by a practical program for the thorough Canadianization of the foreign -born, their children and others. And all of this vast undertaking inspired by the only power which can bring victory— an obedient faith in God. Count over your personal blessings, make much of each one; perhaps they are undervalued now. Give thanks for every blessing with your whole heart; only so can you enter into the heart of the blessing and truly appreciate it. If you are not accustomed to give thanks at table try to begin now. Say, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Arlen!" Let the children whom you teach to say "Thank you" hear you say it to God. Example is better than precept. On this Thanksgiving Day count the blessings, national and personal; thank God for them with intedligetice and sincerity; add an "Amenl" with all your heart in it, Yoti will rise with increased courage and strength; life will be more beautiful; the prob- lems of the nation will scent like .chances for patriots and you will hear a tall. Listen; God and the country are calling you now. Give thanks and answer. Thanksgiving. Then be it ours to -day with one accord, To humbly offer praises to the Lord For all His mercies, bless His name and ne'er Forget, ungrateful, ail His kindly care, 'Tis to Hes bounteous hand alone we owe The blessings that surround us here below, Our peaceful homes, dear type of Heaven on earth Friendship and love, rare gems of priceless worth. Where much is given, as is most justly due, Much is required of service, teal and true— So may our warm devotion henceforth prove Life one Thanksgiving Day of grate- ful love.

Leaving Nazareth. Luke tell us that He began to teach in th synagogue of Nazareth, His hom town, but that some of the thing which He said so displeased the peo ple that He was in danger of dea at their hands. He came and ciwel in Capernaum, a town on the north west shore of the Lake of Galilee upon an rimportant. road lvhieli le south and westward to the Mediterranean sea coast. The ruins of synagogue at a place now called Tel Hurl are supposed to meek its site brut the town itself has long ago dis appeared, 14-16. That It Might Be Fulfilled The passage quoted is from Isa, 9 1-2, There it follows a description of the terrible distress and trouble 'which the prophet expects to come upon t people of Israel by reason of the in erasion of the country by the Assyrian armies, He predicts the birth of a wonderful child who shall be his peo- ples deliverer. He recalls that the first shock of Assyrian invasion was felt by the northern provinces of Zebulon and Naphtali (see 2 Kings 15; 20), and expects that the eight of a great deliverance will come to them It is, of course, evident that Isaiah was speaking of deliverance from As- syrian armies, and that the salvation which Jesus set Himmel' to accomplish was of a quite different character. But it es also true that the elope of a great Saviour, which he was the first to declare, was cherished through all the centuries that followed, until Jesus came, laid hold upon it, and gave it a new meaning and a new direction. It is the same hope, purified and enlarg- ed, to which He is about to give a larger fulfilment. The writer of the Gospel regards it as significant that dais new light of hope in the teaching and preaching of Jesus should now be shining in this very land of Zebulun and Naphtali, the land of Galilee, 18. Walking by the Sea of Galilee. Jesus was a lover of the mountains and the sea. He knew their quiet places, their companionship, their rest- fulness. He knew also the sudden stomas which swept down from the hills and threw the level lake into a sea of tossing waves. He knew the pleasant pasture lands, and the plow- ed fields where the farrier sowed his seed and the harvest ripened and the laden vineyards, and the fishing boats whose write sails gleamed in the morning sunlight. Best of all He knew and loved the people, and He found Hds first disciples amongst the hardy fishermen, Simon and. Andrew. Simon is bet- ter known to us as Peter, a Greek name meaning "a rook," the Aramaic equivalent of which was Cephas. Simon and Andrew, as also James and John, had been disciples of John. This story of their first meeting and earlier associations with Jesus is told in John 1-8. By those earlier associations they were prepared for the call which now came to them to leave all and follow Jesus, 4 Thankfulness is the magician of the heart, Without thankfulness, the life turns grey as the dewed on which no rain falls. The dog who sullenly seatnhes hie bone is a dog to fear, The guile child who snatches cake from your Mend without. a response of genuine thankfuhlees, is a child for whorl to weep, The adult wise le notspontaneously t ] t tlallfulforalbh 1 the gond that life brings hint, is one for whom one may well weep. The men and women, who have risen to such THE THOUGHTFUL HEART 11 n heights that they ran give- thanks for d all that life visite upon them, know- ing that, braving done their honest s heat, only good: outcomes can be for them ---these men and women are fit to be leaders indeed, Since the history of man began on the earth, there perhaps leas been no more universal spirit of Thanksgiving than sweeps around her zones to -day. s e e th t Not that there have bean more good - gifts to the people. "God is always on the giving hand," es ski people used to characteri0e His bountiful- . ness. We are more thankful became 1 we are wiser. Discipline and suffer- , ing have taught us. Some of us never - knew enough about the value of emend until yea were made to save white flour. Some of ns took granulated t sugar as a very common gift indeed until we were jolted awake. Some he' of us, most of us indeed, did net realize the blessings of peaceful lives until war's horrors burst upon us. In short, we dui not know enough about the gifts of God to be thankful for them. Well, the thunder awaken- ed some of us. We who are awake must not only not go to sleep again but see that the other boys and girls • wake up and get up and get busy about the Father's ibuainess, That business is that every son and daugh- ter in the world -family gets a square deal! It were well to have pause for Thanksgiving, not alone on Monday, October 18, 1920, but on every Mon- day of every year—on °very day of every seven days of all the weeks to comet Tho spirit of Thanksgiving should be a flaming torch in each heart, burning away selfishness and lighting the way to our increased worthwhileness as sons and daughters in the world family. 28-25. In All Gaielee, Mark tells (1: 82-29) of a Sabbath evening in Caper- namn, when the multitudes gathered about the door of the house eeitere Jesus was, ibringdng their sick ones to Hint for healing, There He minister- ed to them until the darkness com- pelled theme to return to their homes, Early on the following morning He sought a quiet place, remote from the town, where He night pray alone. But again the multitudes were abroad seeking Him. Then, to His disciples who came looking for Hien, He said, "Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end carte I forth." It was not enough to awaken this soul hunger in and to satisfy the need of ono place. He felt that He must go abroad and carry the message every- where. It may be that already the shadow of the cross was upon His path and that He knew His time was short, Jesus sent for His disciples, and so for all His followers in every age, the example of (Diligent, cease- less, and unwearying effort to spread abroad tete Gospel Three antes, dur- ing His short ministry, He event about making a. tour of the cikies and towns of Galilee, proaehulg, teaching and healing, Wherever Ile went the people fol- lowed.

Pull In, Pull Out, is a jolly romping game which the younger boys and girls will enjoy. It is played in this way: Roll Mack a rug from the centre of the floor and on the boards make a small square with chalk. The square can be about half a yard rill diameter; there is no special size. All the young people then join hands, farm- ing a circle, with the chalk square in the centre. The circle must consist of an equal number of players, who are called reds and blues or by any other fanciful names, The music, some live- ly air, begins; the circle dances away, "ring around a rosy" fashion, each player trying to draw some member of the opposing faction into the square. Any person drawn into the square is out of the game, The side having most members remaining when the :game is declared at an end for want of breath on the part of the players abs declared victorious. Another jolly game is called Three Deep. Twelve or more players forin a circle of pairs (one behind the other facing in) with space enough between the players to turn and run in any duirection, Two players on the outside of the circle and at a distance of two yards from each other begin the game, One of them, the "tagger," trees to tag the other before he can place himself in front of one of the pairs forming the circle. If he succeeds in doing title the player tagged becomes "it" and the former "tagger" in turn tries to run to a place of safety in front of some pair, Whenever the one being pursued succeeds en getting in front of a pair before being tagged, this forms "three deep" and the one in the rear of the other tw. must take' to his heels and try to get a place in front of some other pair before being tagged. L1 seeking to avoid the "tagger," the players being pursued may run in any direction, either to lett or right, or across the circle, but net to pass in front of a pair so 85 10 indicate a stop and cause a false start. A hindmost player may step in front of his own rank, making the middle ratan hindmost or "third" and in po- sition to bo caught. For that good old game Going tee Jerusalem, arrange chairs in a long row down tan middle of the room, placing them so that one faces ono way, the next the other, and so on down the line. There should be one chair less than the number oe players, Forst in litre, start the music (a bright march on the talking machine is just the thing), and when all are marching merrily around, stop the musk, All scramble for seats and the one who is left over etattds aside out of the game, Another chair is removed, the mule starts up again and then stops sud- den1y.
