Margaret Lee Runbeck FOR 'WHAT WE GIVE THANKS
It is Thanksgiving time in 1942--a
time to pause again to give thanks to
God for his manifold blessings to us.
For what do we give thanks? It is a
war year. Men are marching on world
battlefronts, wa.men are burning and
welding in the nation's shipyards.
Children are gathering scrap iron, worn
toothbrushes, magazines, and newspapers.
Colleges and universities are earrying
~n in high gear with tull speed ahead,
training American youth for war. Yes,
grandfather and grandmother ha.Te joined
the throng of workers hurrying to vi tal
war work, u.s.o. centers, filter sta
tions, Red Cross Sewing centers, and
civilian defense trnining meetings. In
deed, we are a nation throbbing o.nd vi•
brating with the activities of war.
Can we yet be thankful when we view
the chaotic situation of the worldt Cnn

sugar, tires, and gnsoline, meat short

Yes, we nre youth in un American
college, in n Christian college. We oan
look with n feeling of terror nnd dismay
at King Chn.os who seems now to re~@;ll
supreme. Yet, it is a ohnllenge•• n
great and awe-inspiring chnllenge•-to us THANKSGIVING
Our deep unspoken grntitudo for o.ll
