Clinton News-Record, 1946-10-17, Page 3OCTOBER '7, 1946 CLINI'ON NEWS -RECORD PAGE THREE "Thanks Be To God" By "PEG" Some night or •morning after we blessings a the past year and the have spoken to God in prayer let us just review what we have said. Nine times out of ten we will find that the greater part of our petition has been made up a asking for things we want rather than thanking God for the many many benefits He has bestowed upon us. Does that not bring shame to our hearts? Many a those whom we think have little to be thaaikful for are the most appeec- iative for the blessings God has been pleased to grant them. Oen it be true of us that we spend out time in thinking that others• should he continually giving to us, and then are disappointed when they, as we think, neglect us. &me of us have a host of friends Who are con- tinrually thinking of our welfare and our hearts go out to them in gen- uine thanksgiving. When aux Earthly friends are so kind to us what can we say of the goodness of our Heav- enly blather? Throughout the civilized world to- day there is a period set apart which is known as Thanksgiving Day. The date differs in various countries. This week it has been observed in Canada. Some years ago it was held on Thursday. It was truly a day of returning thanks. In recent years it has been changed to Monday with the result that the proceedings of the day are different altogether. Then families as many as possible thought of nothing else but attending God's House and returning thanks for the harvest jn particular. Now it is in- deed an exception when a church is open for a Thanksgiving service. The day is a holiday. While it used to be observed pmetically as a Lord's Day now it is a time Of eport. We must admit that times have changed, but Gods Word has, not altered nor have His Commandments. We can- not help but feel that the ehurch of- ficials who have been responsible for cancelling the services of Thanks. giving will 90211e day have to answer for it. We wonder that God has any patience with us at all ,God's promises and care for WI are never ending. The story is told that when James Gordon Bennett sent HermY, M. Stanley to the dark cont- inent of Africa to search for David Livingstone, he said: "Draw on me for a thousand pounds today to pro- vide for your equipment and when that is exhausted draw on me for another thousand and when that is done draw another thousand and when that is done draw another, but find Livingstone. & it is with us. God asks us to draw on Him for the mercy and grace which we need to help us day by day. What He will supply to us is never ending. There are people today who apparently have net been taught to say "thank you" for daily gifts and kindnesses which are given them by earthly friends. How pathetic it is to see such eircum- stances. Is it any wonder that we fail to thank our Heavenly Father for His free gift of Salvation and all His goodness to us? Tine does not stand still. It is now many years since the Puritan fathers first eeturned, thanks for the meagre harvest which was their lot. When we compare that with the bountiful harvest Which ,God has been pleased to bestow upon us right across our fair Dominion today, we must realize how much more we have to be thankful for. Give God His rightful place in the world and we will have no need to fear the future. Even in,the times when Christ was on earth there were many instances of failure to return thanks. One of these in particualr was the instance of where the ten lepers were healed. Nine failed to return thanks, one was deeply grateful ftr what had been done for him. To which class do ere belong? We must confess, and it should be with shame, that we must Erou'ir ourselves with the nine, There are many of us who think of no one but ourselves. In reading of Queen Victoria, the following story was told: While visiting the wounded soldiers who had been brought back from South Africa shortly before the death of her Majesty she was greatly distressed by the appearance of one poor man who had been terribly injured. She saidto him, "Is there nothing I can do' for you?" The soldier replied, "Nothing, your Maj- esty, unless you would thank my nurse for her kindness to me." The Queen turned to the embaerassed nurse and said: "I do thank you with all illy heart for your kindness to this poor wounded son of mine." He did not wish to ask anything for himself but he thought of the nurse who was serving him so faithfully. We have read arid re -read the story of Charles Dickens "Scrooge." He We try to fight our own battles was an ungrateful wreteb until he here -without the aid of our Saviour. I found the real spirit of Oheistmas; Jeremiah 32:27 says, "Behold, 1 am theh when he put that spirit into the Lord, the God of all flesh is there anything too hard for me? That promise is better than all the gold in the world. In former times earthly banks have failed, but the Bank of Heaven never will. The cheques which Christ signs are good not only for ourselves but we are privileged to give them to others. When VEr Day and V.T Day were over some at least thought it would not be long till the world would be in a better state, but at the present time chaos seems to be reigning sap - mule. What can we expect? Them is no peace and thinking people claim that them will never be peace until the world comes back to Christ. In- stead of that we are drifting farther and farther away. Could it be that men 'without Christ, as they are try- ing in many cases to do now, can straighten things out? • No, never. Indeed it may be that things will go on and on . until such time as Christ comes in all His glory to gain control of this world which was meant to be so peaceful and beautiful but which is now in such a state of chaos. Even through it all we have a great deal for which to thank God. "We thank Thee then, 0 Father, ' For all things bright mid good, The seed time and the harvest, Our life, our health, our food. A.ccept the gifts we offer% For all Thy, love imparts, And what Thou most desinst Our humble, thankful hearts."
