"`The 'Site'ward'sihip, of Th'an'kfulness".
(We ;Must, remember that 'Stew'aiid-
'sh'ip, is a trust committed to us by
Iliad and that Solute day we shall be
celled to give an. account of our Stew-
oxids'hdp. Let us therefore be diligent,
land seek Ito 'fullfi'1 all that is required
toe us in 'keeping sacred the trust of
11'lhanikfulness. 'Let us read together
the story of the cie'anis'fng of the lep-
ers, as :Hound i'n Luke, 17: 11148.
There is nothing !meaner than in-
gratitud'e. We con'd'e'm'n the wine for
their failure to eaapress their thanks.
'In fact we dislike the 'nine for doing
!the very tithing w'h'i'ch:Imany df as are
to'n'g — adcepitrn'g as a matter off
'course, the 'blessings of life which
'come to us from the 'Mand of (God.
At Chrlisbmas time it w'a's interest-
ing to 'hear Santa Oleos in his radio
talks to the children. He read scores
of letters from the little folks, each
Ione making his or her own req'uests
of the old 'Saint. 'They seemed to ask
ifdr everything of which as child's nnind
'can conceive. One wanted' "a job for
papa.' Another wanted a Tittle 'baby
brother. Sere wanted very 'little, otlh-
' etts very much. A very 'iew asked th'at
thers be remembered, but maost. of
'em asked gifts only for themselves.
',Only two showed any appreciation
'for falw.o'urs exipected--cine by offering
to leave a lunch for Santa, the other
by saying 'Thank you."

!blessings He bestows upon us, a'n'd
then express our gratitude.
We are living in the midst o'f trines
Which have tried the nerves of men
as never 'before, in our life time, at
!least. 'Discouragement after diseisur-
aa'getnsnt is met on every hand, and
me 'doubt many 'have tho'ug'ht that life
hard'ly worth the straggle. 'Many
"nave gone to .their graves under the
load, the 'burden halving been too
great; One brilliant 'writer has laid
the this so-called depression only
meats that we are just doing with -
mit things our parents never 'had.
You will all agree thee in trying to
keep up with the Jones, too meeh
has been spent in luxuries, 'that our
scalle'of illatrig Inas been fax too high,
and 'that a tumble was overdue; and'
•als'o, b'e'cause df the; acuten'es's of the,
un'empio'ymetit • situation, many are
doing e lwilthlolut more than lux'u'ries.
