Thanksgiving Note Missing Accounting to an old Jewish legend, Lucifer, son of the morning, after he had fallen from heaven, was asked what he most missed. His reply was, "I miss most of all the trumpets that are sounded in heaven each morning.'’ . Is not this the one great lack in many lives today? There is needed more and more the clear trumpet note of joy and thanksgiving. Many persons are more ready to sing a dreary "Miserere" than a joyous song of praise to God. We need less of the spirit of sadness and melancholy, and more of the abandonment of joy that thrilled in the heart of the Psalmist when he summoned God's people to "praise him with the sound of the trumpet," to "praise him upon the loud cymbals, " to "praise him upon the high sounding cyrnbals." We miss from many lives the sound of the morning trumpet. God must miss the hearing from many who ought to be glad the sound of the joy trumpet of thanksgiving. At this Thanksgiving season let us blow the trumpet of thanksgiving — .and then let us keep on blowing it as an every morning expression of our gratitude. • Morning Worship Services — BP” 10:30 ( Services p ° r idH Ages, Nursery Through W Adu,,) 3. - '-* X -41 • Sunday Evening Services At 7PM • Fomi| y Night Bible Study And * A * Y S Wild West Program —7 P.M. . / d u Wednesday Robert Greenwood Richard Brouillette Minister Associate Minister MILFORD CHRISTIAN CHURCH Fourth And Henry Streets 658-9151 Milford
