  • .^6fri|>^ny^ind Subsidiary Companies Vol. 9 NOVEMBER, 1929 No. 11 EDITORIAL After the V\ 7EARY they were, destitute *V ancj discouraged many times—those early pilgrims who landed on the rocky coast of Cape Cod a little over three hundred years ago. They had to struggle in that bleak spot against famine, sickness, and fear of savages and beasts; but with all their hardships and trials they realized that they were blessed in freedom and appointed "a special day on which to give thanks for all their mercies." It is their example that we follow to this day, when, each year, after the harvest, the Chief Executive of our nation reminds us that the time has come to declare publicly our thankfulness to Almighty God, and our dependence on Him. The word "pilgrim," beautiful in sound, has a special meaning in America in connection with the Autumnal feast. Life is so easy for us that we can scarcely picture the sufferings of those courageous founders but, as long as our country shall last, their heroism will be celebrated when the inhabitants of this fair land are gathered together to praise the Lord for all His benefits, on Thanksgiving Day. A Fitting Celebration ClNCE that November day, * eleven years ago, when the order "cease firing" swept the ranks of weary men who had taken up arms in the defense of justice, according to their convictions, the thinking world has been concerned with making war everlastingly unpopular. To one of our countrymen, Frank B. Kellogg, ex-secretary of state, belongs the honor of having drafted what is known as the Briand-Kellogg Treaty to Renounce War, which has been accepted by most world powers; but Eric Henri Remarque, a German soldier, has written a book entitled "All Quiet Along the Western Front," of which ex-soldiers say "that tells the story." It is by far the most powerful indictment of war, and therefore the greatest ambassador of Peace, that has appeared since 1914. A fitting celebration of Amistice Day would be to spread the message of this book. Soloniom! T 'WO brothers, according to an Arabian story, could not agree as to the division of their father's property which they inherited at his death. There were camels and horses and goats, tents, rugs, silks and damasks, jewels and ornaments, and many other valuables, for their father was a great trader and had accumulated much wealth. Each contended that the division proposed by the other was unfair, that the goods were not equally apportioned. Unable to reconcile their differences, they went before a wise old cadi, and laid their dispute before him, vowing upon the Koran to abide by his decision. After hearing both sides, the cadi turned to the elder son and said: "You shall take all the goods and divide them into two equal lots, according to your best judgment of their value." The elder son could scarcely repress the smile of triumph that flitted across his face as he replied, "Venerable master, it shall be done!" Then, turning to the younger son, the cadi said: "After your brother has divided the goods as I have directed, you shall take your choice of the two lots." —Selected.
