We take or homes, ur food,' our comnforts for graafed. It is liard to re'2.lize liow npi-cli we depensi on God. Pople of this generation sel- dom or periiaps neyer see seed bedng sown or look at a field 'to sec if there wl le enougil food for wintcr. Few of us ever get on 'oui- kaees to pray for ram n s crops could grow or for sunshine so fhey could be harvesteci. We go down to flic store wlere the sheives are liaed with groceries.

If we are net tliankfu1 then we have no nighlt to feel that these Mless- àngs auglit to be ours. When the nations of the, world forget' God the wonderfuil inventions of cir time can be turned to destroying m~an as greed takes over or self- isèhness reigns. Canada needs to0 be warned by the ancient man's good and time- [y advice. It is wfhen thinos are easy thiat men tend to forget God. And Canada has it mig(hty easy. The nation or commnunity or in- dividual Who forgetts God is in for trouible. For soaner or later man finds fhat lie cannot live by bread, alone. H1e ends his days a disillu-' sioned, disappointed indîviýdutal. H1e las fed his body and not lis siphit. H1elias lived for Vlings he cannot take witl i hl. The- challenge at Thanksgivàng is to seek God in sucli a way that we 1earn thankiulne;ss for even tlie littie, comimon benefits of lufe. Then we are put in a position wb4ere we can best serve society and we dan extract the best of God's blessings from life. ,On Tuesday, Oct. 14, the gils a£ Orono Public School lad a game of f iag football with team 0aptains: Bonnie Partner, Jackie Snelders, Tracie Stutt and Lynn Loi ery.
