This day of grey skies and show- ers, which came to suspend P1311- ned activities at the potato dig- ging at Rob's. gave me time to; consider the full meaning of these- hours set apart for Thanksgiving. Not to be spent carelessly nor tho htlessly was this ay on- ginal y blessed, but, that folks mightl come together in their churches‘ and there to celebrate with pious} mien and grateful hearts the boun-

of their harvest-home. How meagre even the best of harvests must have been in comprlson to that repeated and gathered from the broad cultivated areas that now go; to make up a farmer's holdings. Many blessings I counted for my‘ own. while the ruin came froml tl : roof to the barrel at the house-' corner. The greatest of these was the one James sp0ke of when we sat down to dinner, “Isn't it good,‘ Ellen." he said t0 mo, almost vik- ing the words out of my mouth. “that the ivar is over-—long dark years there have been since the last peace-time Thanksgiving Day".\ He helped me to a bit of the roast“ then placed a small mound of= potato and another vegetable be- side it. pouring a serving of gravy among these iii the exact spot where I most like it. "Therc’ll be only plough shares and pruning hooks now". I quoted, picking up my knife and fork. "I! they will be able to find satisfactory terms, whenthere areso many nations to consider—and so different. with no‘. even a common language," he said. “But. James." I reminded him, “they all fought for t.he same ob- jective—the Allies, I mean _ for freedom. It's glad I am. that I shall never be one of those at. any of their peace tables," I laughed to him. “for I should be inclined to say to the more clainomus onesz} “Well, take it—we cm get zilong without it" which attitude would only serve to precipitate another war." However as Churchill "the! man of" one “hour", laid down the: plans for victory. so presently 01h- er men of vision will lead all na- tions to a lasting ‘and ilvortliy mace.

Yesterday rftcrnoon, when thr- sun shone brilliantly and a wind with southern inclinations swayed the lawn trees gently, James and I joined some friends in a motor trin across the countryside _ our objective to enjoy the marvellous beauty of nature now adorned in hcr most gorgeous tints. We journeyed in a leisurely fashion, pausing at times to admire es- pecially dclightful panoramas. We. came down to rivers to view tier‘ upon tier of indcscribably beauti- ful colors up the slopes beside. and we stopped on hill tops to look dow-n on gorgeously bedeck- ed valleys below. We visited a homestead. where higher ground commands a splendid view of the surrounding rolling country and with this hospitable family walked across their meadows t0 look out. over miles of landscape the limits of which were lost, to sight in a purple haze above a line 0.1’ paint- ed hiiis, If perhaps.
