We can enumerate the blessings which a kindly Provi- dence has laid to our hand and stir ourselves up by that process into a feeling of appreciation and thank- fulness that would probably he good for our own souls, and which might have some moral and spiritual value n it. But counting your blessings, naming them one by one, can hard- ly bring one into an {deal condition of gratitude and thankfulness, Even though one should discover that he has no blessings to count, as we usually look on such things, might it not still be possible for him to have a soul of gratitude within It was a vision of something like that which came to the prophet of old when he said, "Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the la- bor of the olive shall fall, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls, "et I will rejoice in the Lord, 1 will 'oy In the God of my salvation." It may be admitted that such a ~ondition of soul is not an easy one | to attain unto, hut wouldn't ,it be 1 Zreat achievement if we could Fegeh it! To have within oneself' a living fountain of gladness and gratitude that no lack or adverse condition on the outside could spoil or take from us would surely be to live in a world of unspoiled and unspoflable happiness, ur fathers and mothers used to '1k about Christians claiming their hHlessings., It may seem to us of today an old-fashioned expression | All the Churches Bid You a Hearty Welcome BEAUTIFUL GARMENTS Rev.

Jarrett, the rector, will be In charge throughout the day. It must be admitted that there are a great many people in our day who are finding it extremely difi- cult to hold on to the old-fashioned faith that the back-ground of this great universe in which we live {is + God of love who cares and meas- urably eontrols. There are many things uniting to make that faith difficult, things that are in the nat- nral order of the world's progress in thought and discovery, and that could not have been prevented by any possible foresight and planning. And it isn't wilful and perverted and {rreligious people who are hav- ing this difficulty; among them are some of the most earnest-minded and sincere people in the world. There isn't any use therefore in inveighing against such a state of mind and calling it all sorts of bad names. To assume that mora! blame is to be attached to all those who are having this difficulty is to assume much mode than is justified, And yet to go to the other extreme and say that it doesn't make much difference whether a man does or does not bhelleve in a good God who has a moral hand upon the world is to make a very great mistake, What a man thinks and feels In his own soul about this matter do2s pro- foundly affect the whole tone: and temper of his life and modifies and governs his actions and his ideals and ambitions. In no sense is it a matter to be indifferent about, or to treat as if it had only some sec- ondary or far-away influence upon Putting it to the Test | fluence. . What, then, does the situation demand? This, as it seems to us. There are only two possible theor- les--elther there is this God of love and purpose in the universe or everything is to be accounted for by a blind unconscious life force to which moral purposes and ideals mean nothing. Which of these seems to us to he the more likely, more in accord with the great ideas and purposes and longings that move within our own souls whether we will it or do not will {t? Which of them seems the more likely to help us to achieve the noble and high impulses that stir us and keep on stirring. us no matter what our philosdphy may be? We cannot ! prove either of them in any strict rientific sense. But we can take 12 one that appeals to us in the trongest way and put it to certams | practical tests, by living and shap- ing our. lives as if it were true, and life being what it is, that will be a finer and mueh more conclusive test than any mere weighing of the evi- dences this way or that could posst. bly be. For any noble and success- ful living must partake of that ele- ment of adventure, and we get on in everything that is noble and true and good, not by way of strict prov- Ing, but by hypotheses put to the test. We cannot prove axiomatical- ly that there is a good God, but we can bring ourselves to the place where we are sure that there fs, and that is the finest certainty we have real life.

It is surprising how many parents | through lack of a knowledge of the nature and effect of alcohol, give their children 'wine or beer. They look upon these milder alcoholic bev erages as harmless. In comparative- ly recent years science has shown us clearly the irreparable harm such a practice has done, The effect of al- cohol upon the nervous system of a child is disastrous, The brain cells of a child arc immature, growth con- tinuing until probably the twenty- fifth year of life, During that time, we are told the brain cells should be absolutely protected from alkohol Result a Tragedy The French Academy or Medicine | in May, 1926, issued a bulletin which | | crages to children and said, "The re- sult is seen in the mental deficiency of the schoo! children and in other well known signs of alcoholism." The tragedy of it all is that many par- ents give their children wine or beer under the impression that it will give strength and promote growth, Another Hindrance Dr, Courtney C. Weeks in his new book, "Alcohol and ' Human Life," points out another hindrance to the happy home life of many children. He says, "It is being recognized today how easily the child mind may be seriously * affected through mental shocks or trauma, as they are termed in infancy and childhood. - Fear oper- ating upon a child's mind is a very potent factor in hindering the fullest | development and freedom. Who can measure the effect that tear, produc- ed by an intoxicated or quarrelsome parent, may have upon a child, There are today in our nation scores of chil dren of all classes, who have grown into adult life, who bear, and will bear, the results of the impressions | made during infancy and childhood ! by noisy, violent, alcoholic parents." A Destroyer Alcohol, from whatever angle we | may judge it, is a destroyer of the | home, of health and happiness. Clin- ical evidence now abundantly proves that intemperante parents often pre- dispose their children to drunkenness, crime, immortality and physical or mental weakness. The safety of the home demands abstinence on the part of the parents and proper instruction of the children as to the -harmiul effects of this narcotic drug.
