Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving day is coming Soon And bow we will rejoice, To be back in the dear old home And hear our mother’s voice. v The others will be there to greet us, ■Such a happy, little crowd; With their bright and smiling faces, It will make us feel quite pro.ud. Father, mother, uncles, adnts, Grandpas and grandmas, old and gray. Gay young cousins, large and small, Will come to spend Thanksgiving day. The dinner will be splendid, Mother is the finest cook, Her recipes are not taken From the pages of a book. We will sit around the table, As we sat in days of yore, And be just as gay and happy As we’ve always been before. We will thank Him for the blessings On this glad Thanksgiving day. We are sure that He will listen To our prayers without delay. —Alice Dewey.
