Let us give thanks to God upon Thanksgiving Day. Nature is beautiful and fellowmen are dear, and duty is close beside us, and God is over us and in us. We want to trust Him with a fuller trust, and so at last to come to that high life where we shall "be careful for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let our request be made known unto God"; for that, and that alone, is peace.

It is good for us to think that no grace or blessing is truly ours till we are aware that God has blessed some one else with it through us.

It is while you are patiently toiling at the little tasks of life that the meaning and shape of the great whole of life dawn on you.

The earth has grown old with its burden of care, but at Christmas it always is young, the heart of the jewel burns lustrous and fair, and its soul full of music breaks the air, when the song of angels is sung.

A prayer in its simplest definition is merely a wish turned Godward.

Call your opinions your creed, and you will change it every week. Make your creed simply and broadly out of the revelation of God, and you may keep it to the end.

It does not take great men to do great things; it only takes consecrated men.
