Then it may be said that thanksgiving becomes quite unreal. Well, if we fx our attention on certain occasional benefits which suit our desires, and because we are pleased with them, wish te thank God for them, certainly our thanksgiving will be only occasional. But there is a higher view than that. Weare to think of God as alwaysruling the world and our lives in all things. We, if we have a Christian’s Faith, will believe that he rules lovingly, wisely and well, and the spirit in which we shail think ef all He does will be one of continued thankfulness. Take this illus- tration,—it may assist us. Suppose a child, whose careful and affectionate pa- rents are constantly providing for him all that he requires ; a friend meets him and unexpectedly gives him a valuable present the, child will no doubt feel specially thankful for that ; but were he able to re- flect he would soon see that the geodness of his parents, daily, hourly providiug food, clothing, shelter, loving care, calls for greater gratitude than did the occasional gift. And this same illustration will carry us further. No wise or prudent head of a house can so rule that he will always meet the wishes of his children. At times he must withhold frot them that which they wish for. At times he must compel them to that from which they would shrink. So it isin this world. If we believe what we say when we call God ‘‘our Father,” we cannot expect that everything will be im accordance with our desires. * But as we see that by the work- ing ef His great laws—the expressions of His living loving will—jeys and sorrows, prosperity and adversity, plenty and want, are given, with quiet, confident assurance, we shall see in all the works of His hands —though effected by His own laws-—and ** In everything give thanks.” Why, then, have a special day for it? Because it is well to sct apart a day for a special ard particular manifestation of feelings which ought always te be more or less in our minds. The Christian Church commands us te devote the Lord’s Day specially to worship; she does not mean thereby that we are to worship God oaly on Sundays. Rather she would teach us thereby that worship is to be an integral part of our whole tife every day. She bids us on one! day of the year think with sorrow and gra-| titude of the death of Our Lord; she does! not mean that we are te care for His death only on Good Friday. And so with other days of observance. We are not directed by the Church to keep this special day of Thanksgiving. We are requested by the civil authority to do so,—a request to which we most willingly acceed, not as though we were to be thankful only on this one day, but acknowledging it asa special public recognition of the general duty of thanksgiving.

So much for the first division of our subject.

_ An oceasion of this sort a'lows and invites the consideration of some subjects which are not usually spoken of here. At sucha time we feel inclined to take a glance at our religious and social condition geverally, and to ask ourselves what we can see that may be a cause for thanksgiving ; what

jdangers may seem to threaten! Looking at our country as a whole, what can we say

:

That I cannot pretend™to answer. | But I think it can be seen how it may be begun: By all Christians recognizing the ev.lsof disunion; by their searching with hu- mility for their own and not their neighbors’ defects; by theexercise of that charity which would seek and gladly find all the geod it can in others and think ne evil; and by) earnest prayer that Our Lord’s words may be fulfilled, and that His people be one in Him. Now, a glance at our social condition. Here, too, there is not a little to be thank- ful for. The family life is the basis of all true social prosperity and advancement; and its safeguards are on the whole respect- ed and regarded among usa. We may be very thankful that the terrible evil which can be witnessed in other countries of diverces frequently and commonly granted, | is not to be seen among us. I must not forget that I am speaking generally, ether- wise I must here have paused to warn you that that after all personal, individual purity is the only true safeguard of the family bond. But on that subject I cannot new dwell. The attempt made a year or two ago to weaken the sanctity of the marriage bond by creating a distinction between a wife’s own relations and those of her hus- band, and a man’s own relations and those
