  1. Being Thankful Unto God

  2. A LEGEND By Mildred M. North Two angels, so the legend ran, came to earth as day began. One carried a basket deep and wide, the other a small one by his side. Then spoke one of the Heavenly pair: “Oh, but this world is wondrously fair! If it were not for Heaven I’d be content to dwell on earth beneath the firmament. My basket is large, I’ll soon begin to gather men’s thanks, and pack them in.” Said the other, “I’ll help you when I get done. I’m to gather their wants in this little one, and the sighs and murmurs of those who pout – but it’s large enough without a doubt. God’s bounties are scattered on every side, you’ll need your basket deep and wide.”

  3. A LEGEND By Mildred M. North Away they sped, and darkness came, they met again, but not the same. Both were weary, both were sad; they’d found so little to make them glad. Said he with the basket wide and deep, “My heart is heavy. It makes me weep. Look in my basket – you’ll discover the thanksgivings scarcely the bottom cover!” “While I”, said the other, “have made three trips with the wants and complaints from the people’s lips!” Only a legend – yes – and yet – if the angels came, what would they get?

  5. Psalm 100 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord, He is God; it is He who hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise; be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endureth to all generations.
