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

We are haunted by an ideal life, and it is because we have within us the beginning and the possibility of it.

Those who help a child help humanity with an immediateness which no other help given to human creature in any other stage of human life can possibly give again.

While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love.

We anticipate a time when the love of truth shall have come up to our love of liberty, and men shall be cordially tolerant and earnest believers both at once.

Stand up, on this Thanksgiving Day, stand upon your feet. Believe in man. Soberly and with clear eyes, believe in your own time and place. There is not, and there never has been a better time, or a better place to live in.
