Daniel L. Marsh President of Boston University in an address printed in Bostonia

There are some who say that they will give thanks by and by. They seem not to know that By-and-By is a hill on the other side of which is the Ravine of Never. And when they pass over the hill of By-and-By, they find themselves lost in the labyrinthian gullies and caves of Never.... Behold, now is the acceptable time to give thanks.

It is a good thing to give thanks because the power to endure affliction and to be great in adversity is due largely to a thankful spirit. Gratitude is the grace that overcomes adversity. The grateful spirit is the practical spirit. It possesses the practical ability to transform all things into its own service. It knows the truthfulness of Paul's great words: "All things work together for good to them that love God."
