THANKSGIVING ANTICIPATION There is no national celebration more beloved than Thanksgiving, which in November brings its festal turkey and pumpkin to cheer our somewhat chilly bodies. That’s one good thing which can be said for November, otherwise not a very popular month. No warmth, no cheerfulness, No healthful ease; No comfortable feel in any member, No birds, no flowers, No butterflies, no bees— November. Can this have been written by a citizen of our turkey-loving United States? We don’t know, but the dreary lines have somehow a true ring to them. Spring is still far behind, for winter has not yet come. We are irked by the changed routine of our daily lives which has been brought about as short, cold days succeeded long, lovely summer evenings. Thanksgiving is a beautiful custom and leads many a discontented person to realize that their lot is not after all so hard as they are prone to think. When we seriously take account of our blessings we are amazed to find how many and how rich they are. This is the day to inhale the perfume of life’s roses while ignoring the ever-present thorns. It’s tiresome to cook an endless procession of meals, to be sure, but how much more tiresome it would be if there were no meals to cook. The children, with their incessant calls on one’s time, are wearing, no doubt, but who would give them up in exchange for ease and leisure? The most blessed people are those who have the well-spring of love and joy in their own hearts. PAGE 12
