SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1921 Thanksgiving Day The founders of this country be- lieved that God is managing human destiny, and that if faithfully obeyed he would guard and preserve those of his children who ventured across the stormy seas into this unknown wilderness. And even before they had gained a real foothold, and while their future looked most ominous, they appointed a day of thanksgiv- ing to God. Now there is the same danger that our people will forget the God who led the fathers, as that some men who pray with all their hearts while in some dogily peril, will forget God when they recover and life seems smiling.

Many nations that forgot God and his laws in the past have gone down into the dust, and nothing is left of their greatness but decaying ruins. The American people in their thoughtless way appoint a holiday of thanksgiving to God, and then use it for football games and sporting life. They mean no harm and they need the relaxation.

And the real thanksgiving day is no mere thing of personal feeling but it seeks out the poor and needy and makes them share in the gener- al well being. A thanksbiving ob- servance that does nothing for those who are in doubt whether they have reason for thankfulness, observes the letter rather than the spirt of the oc- casion. Blowing It Elsewhere If the government plan for limita- tion of armament goes through, the treasury watch dogs will have to look out that the money saved by a naval hcliday is not wasted by extravagant expenditures in other directions. There is always a tendency, when the economists in eithre national or local governments succeed in saving money, for the spenders to devise new ways of using it up. So it might be in this case.
