Saying ‘ilhanit Ylu"

tBy Mary S. Stovel-J

When l was a very small rllild l reluetnllel- noticing how our chic- kens iiitcd their breads ill drink- ing. Mother told me then about a little boy who thought this was tho chickens‘ way of saying grace. The pretty fancy stuck in my mind. and l have often recalled it. while watching the chickens at feeding tlmo or when [have sat near some. little pool whero wild birds come l.o drink. l also think of it when i see u meado" lark or ‘o. brown thrasbsr mount to some tree top or fence to pour out o ﬂood of melody.

ll. does look as if the birds are saying "(Thank you" to God and i feel like giving thanks with them. it doubles my enjoyment of a glor- ious sunset or the view of snow top ped ‘mountains nr some other great outdoor picture if I lift my head and whisper a hearty "Thank you."

l believe that God would be illad i.o have more children utter their thanks while enjoying the beau- ties of which Paul tells us that "God giveth us all things richly to enloy." Why should not He llko a word of appreciation lust as you and I do’! At least, it gives us la big, happy feeling lnaideto any

Begin now the habit of saying "Thank you" to God. it will make you a liner, better boy or girl; it will open your eyes to much that you would otherwise miss in life. so that the less you think that you have to give thanks for the more important it may be for you to try. You nra navcr going to be able to thank God “enough, but if you only try, it is sure to show you how really rich you ure.~~~.\mericnn

of Mull by his song, "An t-Ellean Mulleacb. an t-ellean aghmor." mated at the foot of Beinn Bhair beach with its high peaks over- shadowilw Gienforsa.
