Pleasant, however, how-ever, are not 'among those who wish to find fault with a Creator Jn whom they have a cherished faith. They manage to believe that some guiding hand is at the helm of things eternal, and that material matters of the world are not, perhaps, as Important to tho Individual as many might think. The Pyramid feels sure that there will be no lack of grateful prayers on the occasion of Thanksgiving Thanks-giving Day. Surely, as a people, we have much left to us for which we should retain abundant gratitude. grati-tude. Our lot Is so much better than that of many peoples that It would seem churlish to become lout In the envy of bygone bounty. Individually, we are sure, our citizens have much to be sincerely appreciative of. None of us are so bad off that we could not be much worse. Few of us have suffered suf-fered hardships in proportion to our real deserts. All of us are a-head a-head of the game when it comes to earthly blessings. Why palaver about It? Let us return to the worship of the Great Father r.f us all, let us render ren-der thanks to Him who guides the universe and sets the bounds ot the individual's achievements. It is no time to essay judgement upon up-on God; rather let us be humble, realizing our true unworthiness and actual need for additional divine help and guidance as we tread the pathways of our mortal lives. |
