Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 February 1918 — True Thanksgiving. [ARTICLE]

True Thanksgiving.

It is eminently desirable that we should emphasize the moral obligation which rests upon every child of God to cultivate the spirit of thanksgiving and to manifest that spirit in its full beautv and power in all the relations of life. The thankful spirit reveals Itself in a broad and true sympathy with others who are less fortunate than ourselves. It delights to remember the widow and the orphan and strives, to carry the message of joy and gladness, into the homes of the sick and the sorrowing of Thanksgiving Day. It looks unto God as the author of every good and perfect gift, and insists on sharing the blessings which he has bestowed with those who are needy and in, want. —American Messenger.
