NOME, ALASKA, NOV 25, 1915.
Today is Thanksgiving daj in the
United Stales; a day set aside as a
token of thankfulness for the mercies
<rf the closing year; a day on which
we are supposed to lay aside for a
moment the many duties of existence
and to devote ourselves to the con
templation of divine goodness and, in
thankfulness of heart for such bless
ings as have been vouchsafed to us,
give due recognition to the Creator
of aii things.
Perhaps one of the most graceful
acknowledgements for the blessings
that have been bestowed on a people
is the setting aside of one day to be
devoted to offering up thanks to the
particular God or Gods which the na
tion has been accustomed to worship
as the divine dispenser of all things.
The particular feature of such ob
servance is that, unlike the majority
of public festivities, Thanksgiving day
Is purely Individual. It Is a day when
who are inclined to receive it in
the spirit in which it is given must
sum up the blessings that have been
bestowed upon oneself, and render due
thanks therefor.
We all have something to be thank
ful for and most of us have a great
deal although we may not thoroughly
realize the fact. No matter the trial
or adversities we may have endured
during the year there is always some
thing for which we may feel truly
grateful. No matter our condition in
life, whether we be the highest of the
high or the lowest of the low we have
still been granted some or many fa
vors for which we may feel thankful.
There are none so humble or lowly
that there is not something has come
to them which may he accepted as a
blessing. It may not be in the shape
of that which our heart desires; it may
be nothing tangible; It may be nothing
more than a word spoken In a spirit
of kindness which helped us to bear
me burden of life or lifted some
weighty load from our soul. To some
of us the touch of a friendly hand or
the glance of a kindly eye Is more
precious than Jewels, more valued than
the greatest of concrete treasures.
There is no life that at some time
during the year is not visited with
a bit of happiness or cheer, or com
fort for which grateful thanks may be
given. There are none to whom there
has not come something like a ray of
light shining through the darkness,
something to uplift the heart and re
joice the soul. That which has come
to us may be no more than a hope. It
tnay even be the faintest of hopes yet.
so long ns Its kindly glow still Ung
ers In our soul It is something to be
thankful for. something for which to
give grateful testimony to that “divin
ity who shapes our ends."
The man who can find not some
thing for which to offer up his grateful
thanks even In the hour of his greatest
adversity Is truly a blind and heedless
creature.
In looking back over the year now
fast sinking Into the sunset of remem
berenee one cannot but be impressed
that we of the United States have tru
ly much to be thankful for In the
divine blessing of peace which has re
mained to us In the midst of war and
peril We may disregard all other
(
blessings If we will and yet In this
a lone we still have perhaps the great
est cause for offering up our heartfelt
thanks that can he vouchsafed to a
i ation. When nearly all the world
is bleeding beneath the Iron shot hoof
of war we are preserved in peace and
prosperity. Amidst the dangers and
perils of a period when humanity is
seemingly gone mad with the lust for
blood and the rage to kill we have
retained our wonted pleasures and en
joyments and can look out upon the
world with no disturbing thought of
fear of danger.
Though the world is in a turmoil
of doubt and anxiety we may still be
snlm Though wars lurid flames mount
the skies over blood sodden Europe and
strife and hatred, sorrow and despair,
mar the souls of hapless millions, our
v.t has been the way of peace and
contentment, of progress and pros
perity.
For this alone we all have reason
to offer up our thanks to that all
wise Providence which has ordered all
'hings. Perhaps not since those ghast
ly years w’hen our own land lay
bleeding from the wounding stroke of
war have we had greater cause for na
tb nal thanksgiving than In the presen»
I day
ANGER IS BAD FOR HEALTH
(Fr in the Kansas City Star.)
Dr. Woods Hutchinson has an article
in the Philadelphia Public Ledger on
How Anger Shortens Life." The very
title ought to be a caution to those
people who get mad so easily and who
Hare up e\ ery time one disagrees with
them. Hate is a disease quite as fatal
as typhoid or tuberculous. To be
grouchy, snarly and quarrelsome Is the
same. The theory is that When a per
son is in that situation he is at cross
purposes with God’s administration of
the world.and that situation is disease.
There can be no doubt about this. It
is the old doctrine of the influence of
the mind over matter, insisted upon
.oday by a medical scientist of the
highest repute. Love is health; hate is
lisease. It is better to know that than
line-tenths of the socalled truths that
iways men’s minds.
SUICIDE FACTS.
(From the Bridgeport Standard.)
There are statistical tables which
have a bearing upon conditions and
ire depndably significant. The fig
,:res in the suicide rates of European
ities are among these. Life, in its
current issue, calls attention to these
figures, as follows: "Berlin shows a
rate three times as great as that of
London, a half more than New York,
ind a fourth more than Parts. Life Is
apparently so complete in Berlin that
the happy inhabitants get through
with it quickly, and now the entire
nation has become so satisfied with Its
ireer that it wants to put an end to
t in the same way.”. That suicide is
so much more common among the Teu
tons thdn with the Anglo-Saxons is
surprising, but it is more surprising
ttill that Berlin exceeds Paris in that
respect by 25 per cent. But perhaps we
have not heard about these matters so
much heretofore from Germany as
from France and the opinion has gained
ground that the latter country furn
ished the greater number of suicides
in proportion to population.
