life lIe toward God and recognized that the source of oC all that touched him in InI I cheer and satisfaction was the fountain f of all life liCe In Jehovah the living 1 one It Is a gratitude that sweeps into view l more than the material good It has to todo tot toL t L do with life liCe more than it has with the I things of the life and its tones are of ot the 1 I dealings of at God rather than tile the restless f enjoyments and the temporary satisfactions of ot man This day we keep in the glad lad spirit of this psalm Nor that all 1 who wh participate In the keeping have the I deep

months agone And while our hearts ache for the pinch of hunger and want that came to tomen tomen tomen men ani an women and children because of ot the financial panic of or the year It has been worth the enduring for It has been the means of bringing us liS to our sense of or things as they should be and of allaying that fever feer which threatened to destroy us Stories of Ruin Some pitiful
