The World In A Bar Of Soap Headlines this week have made soap a symbol of both domestic and world conditions some of them amusing, more of them serious. But the headlines, announcing a 50 per cent price boost by major so:ip manufacturers, merely supply a fresh reminder that such a simple thing can contain, in addition to its customary ingredients, a cross-section of human difficulties in this post-war world.

A recent search for toilet soap, already publicized as scarce, drew a blank at the first, five stores visited. One

wanted, but not exactly as he had expected to find it. (

Less than half the standard size that for j ears cost only a nickel, this, bar of soap was priced at six cents. Even so, it was a necessity. Smaller in portion,' g'l eater in price, this specimen was even then a symbol of current maladjusments, which sevral news stories helned to identify. One was the difficulty of

getting copra source of coconut oil, widely used in soap manufacture out of the liberated Philippines. Another was that housewives, since V-J Day, had lost interest in saVing surplus fats fiom their kitchens. Furthermore, a storekeeper suggested, manufacturing costs had gone up.

FROM VERY EARLY times mankind has been impelled by a natural impulse to return thanks to God for benefits received. The Bible story of Cain and Abel gives evidence of the fact that primitive( men felt the urge to express gratitude for the increase of the field and Mock. The offering of the first fruits to the creator was carried by Abraham to a point where he Was willing to lay even bis beloved son Isaac on the altar of sacrifice. Until men became more spiritually enlightened it was believed that such offerings were the highest form of divine worship. While such primitive methods of expressing gratilude may seem inhuman to us, we must not lose sight of the fact that they were the forerunners of a more spiritual concept of worship. A. day of Thanksgiving was inaugurated by the founding fathers ! of the United States of America as a national holy day. It was a revival of a very old custom dating I back to the Exodus, when Moses i offered bis song of thanksgiving for the salvation of Israel from Egyplian bondage. Lest this day be looked upon as merely a holiday and ils significance be forgotten, it may be well to refresh our memories with a few fundamental facts concerning the meaning and need of thanksgiving. Perhaps no simpler example of the true spirit of thanksgiving can be cited than the story of two Boy Scouts who were returning home from a long hike. A woman who i had been gathering apples called i to the boys as they passed her 1 house and asked them if they would like a couple of pippins.

Bolh responded with alacrily. As they went on their way, munching the apples, oiie boy said, "We forgot to thank the lady for the apples." The second boy replied, ''Oh, she doesn't need our thanks." "No," said the first boy, "but we need to thank her, just the same." Whereupon, he went back to the house and thanked the woman, while his companion, not seeing the point, trudged on, still munching his apple.

our thanks, our personal sacrifices, or our praise. But we need to practice these virtues because they quicken our capacity for appreciation. Appreciation of God's goodness is the first step toward the attainment of genuine happiness. Thanksgiving without appreciation would be an empty formality. ... The faculty of appreciation can and should be cultivated by everyone. It is perhaps the greatest single asset that one can have. True appreciation not only discerns true values wherever they may be, but is prophetic, for it believes in latent goodness which is capable of being brought out. In a Word, it accepts the fundamental fact that the universe, including man, as God formed it, is inherently good, and that all appearances to the contrary should be discounted, . . , Grace is the essence of gratitude because it recognizes that all good gifts pome from God and that genuine thanksgiving begins with the exercise of appreciation. Mary Baker Eddy points out, on page 300 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," that "finite sense has no true appreciation of infinite Principle, God, or of His infinite image or reflection, man." Again, she says (p. 3) : "Are we really grateful for the good already received? Then we shall avail ourselves of the blessings we have, and thus bo fitted to receive more." . We see, therefore, that lack of appreciation implies a blindness to the good we already have, hence an unfitness to receive further blessings. Thanksgiving Day offers a special time for self-examination. Nor is it the only time . when one should balance his accounts with God. Like the boy in the story, we cannot be truly happy when, having received a gift, we fail to return thanks for it. The true joy of life is in spiritual communion. We commune with God -only as we appreciate His ever-present love and thus behold in all mankind the reflection of His abundant grace. The Cknistian Science Monitor. ' Bye-bye Barnacles

"You're clairvoyant," Hugo said.

A SUPERB gambler, young Stephen Fox found New Orleans to his liking. When he played with the aristocratic Creoles, the stakes were small and he lost more often than he won: But with the transients and the merchants, he v.iiis merciless. He pocketed the cYisp, green banknotes, saying, " Tis the run of the cards. Better luck next time." He redeemed his giant pearl and now lived like a fine gentleman. There was one flaw. He had to play still more with the stupid Hugo Waguespack. Hugo was a terrible player and a hard loser. Their last hand wss for Stephen's twenty thousand against Hugo's lands. .' Hugo lost. He stood up, slamming the cards across the table. '.'You're clairvoyant," he said, "or else a rogue. I haven't decided which." . ; ' t- ( - .

Stephen said. "Yes, that's the way." ' The old man was sealed in a cafe and greeted them pleasantly. When Stephen told him that he was entering a brokerage business, M. Arceneaux smiled. "A bit of. advice," he said. "Look to the land. Get your roots in the earth and grew with it." , . Then they played a friendly game. Stephen played badly and .when they Were through had lost a cool thousand. M.- Arceneaux' was beaming. "I must give you a chance to recoup your losses" soon," he said,' ' - When they were alone, Andre said, "Couldn't you have

been a little less obvious about losing to him?" "I think my father-in-law is an agreeable fellow." It was some weeks later that Stephen and Andre rode out of the city to a great stretch of land along the river. Stephen reined his horse. "This," he said, "is Harrow." "It's impossible," Andre said. "It will take you three years to clear enough of it for even a small crop.". Stephen dismounted and scooped up a handfui of rich earth, letting it run between his fingers. "111 clear it," he said, "And in one year I shall clear it of debt. Then I shall build me such a house as was never matched in the Old World or the New. Ye believe me, Andre?" Andre looked at him long and searchingly before answering. "Yes," he said. "I believe you ..."
