Lord what have I but empty handsAnd aching feet from hopeless quests
And memories of barrenAnd days and years of sore unrests
The censer that I fair would awingHolds neither herb nor spice i
There are no firstfruits I may bringTo heap in thankful sacrifice
Shall I amid lifes stubble glenTo find the the harvest loaves
Then contented end sereneThe while my neighbors count their sheaves 7
There Is no gold nor house nor land 5That I may thanK Thee It is mine
I may not measure with my handThy tithing of my and wine
Had I all these then might I KneelAnd pray with fervent easy speech
i That wore an echo of my wealOf all that was within my reach
Shall I with grace v
Bow down and play the hypocriteAnd my prayer in Thy face
With not a heartbom word in ItNay not in money let me count
of that I have hadNor mlserltKo tell the amount
Of what rich gifts have made mo gladThough I have of defeat
have I left the strength to riseThe tempter or the foe to meet
newer courage in my eyesSo thus I pray with empty
But not with an empty jiiiilThough rpm fair houses lancla
ever cast apartIn all oavethisi I
thanK Thee for my spoilAnd there is no haunting sigh
nix after

DAY OF FAMILY REUNIONS
Thanksgiving Not Complete If a FaceIt tho
Gathering
During the first long winter inonehalf the little band of pil-
grims died The winter snow coveredtheir leveled and when springwarmth removed that friendly coverIng the survivors planted grain abovethe graves that waving blades otwheat or corn might hide the colonysloss from the cruel eyes of the foewhom fear alone restrained from openwarfare The pilgrims hearts werestout and though their eyes mightgrow dim at times In looking over thefields where only mysterious patchesW8 brighter revealed their
Knowledge tb Becrefbf abtodengrave they dashed away the tearsand only strove the to carry onthe task those tired fingers had letfall And when autumn came with Itsabundant harvest great thanksgivlug feast they held was In communion
rejoicing with thempey thanks for home forfor hope
Bric then Thanksgiving day hasa day of reunions The
distant son returns tbo grandchildrengather around the table the old pee
take pleasure fn welcoming thefamiliar faces that changingand the new faces added to widening family circle It Is a day of careless mIrth and thankful gladnessSome go to church to find an expres-sion tor the feelings which find themvoiceless and otherrs feel only vaguely If at all the need of more than thetacit acceptance and enjoyment of allthat the day brings housebold games and the sports of winterand If the great conteststo overshadow more spontaneous di-versions the actual figures would showthat not one in a thqusand of the
of civic or political conditions ree-sonlna that the show thank
for public blessings is tomore of them Not evert these
serious thoughts can turn the character of the day away from that Im

SET APART FOR GRATITUDE
Thanksgiving the Day of All caWhich We Should
Our Bleulngs
On Thanksgiving day most of uswith deliberate Intention and perhapsno little effort close the door bjrwhich grumbles enter and open widethe other door that lets In praise Foronce gratitude has the right of wayand wo are just a little bit ashamed-to be the dullcomplaint At the Thanksgiving 6errIce it we attend It we give ourselvesto a deliberate enumeration of ourblessings and remember perhaps howmany there are less favored than outselves There not time for a com-plete smoothing out of
wrinkles bf perplexity
laden table but on tho wholeready to enter Into the spirit ot thentime Is Thanksgiving then asal or an occasional accentuation otthe proper habit of a Christians liferIt thero must be rusty hinges shouldthey be upon the doors of praisewhile the other door of grumblingworks With constant ease The un-
disputed right of way In the Thanksgiving season ought to be the tight oilway for all the year
