Signs of the Times

[From an editorial in the Woman's Home Companion, Springfield, Ohio]

Year by year we honor the gracious ancestral custom of thanksgiving. Always our thanks go up for certain old familiar things which our forbears found good in their time—for harvest home, for rest and shelter, for the kindliness in people, for some little growth in wisdom, and for strength to go on in the face of darkness. But each November, with heed, we can also discover added accumulation of benefits for which to be the more grateful.... For energy and invention making work easier and filling leisure with better enjoyment; for school drawing closer than before to the needs and desires of children, and for widening intelligence; for a few more men and a few more women newly risen above the crowd to become pioneers and leaders of human hopes: for these we give thanks.
