Jesse Hoover, as he addressed the Thanksgiving Hume Festival service at the Men-nonite church Sunday. 1 We should be thankful for light. We take light for granted but one has a greater appreciation of its value after groping around for months in the darkness of Europe.

The darkness there is not only physical. There is mental, moral and spiritual darkness. "Men over there enjoy darkness because of their deeds," he said. "Paganism pervades so much of their work. We by our lives should help lighten the darkness of the sinful world." Thankful for Life.

2 We should be thankful foi life. Life has become cheap. God grant we never become so calloused in America that we do not place a high value on human life. "We hear so much of the horrors of the blitz." he said. "Yet the human death is far worse.

This is the type where people die slowly because of starvation. It is estimated that more than 2.000,000 children in France have starved, to death. The remainder, because of this lack of food, do not have sufficient energy "to study or play. "It makes me sick when I see us throw food away," he said. remember the sight in concentration camps where people do not have food and where conditions are so unsanitary." 3 We should be thankful for love.

There are 21,500,000 homeless in Europe. When we consider the suffering of those refugees we should be more thankful than ever before for our homes. Children Travel Alone. People of Europe, he explained, are being constantly shoved from place to place. Children as young as 3.

5 and 7 travel alone. "Those children become normal again when someone shows them a little love," he explained, as he told stories of his experiences with many of the children of France who had lost home and family. 4 We should be thankful for hope. "The most pathetic part over there is the hopelessness of the situation' he said. "Those in concentration camps have nothing to look forward to.

There are men who have been leaders, whose spirits are broken. They have fallen below the level of decent beasts." 5 We should be thankful foi our freedom. "When one has witnessed this virtual slavery," he explained, "he has a greater appreciation of our liberties. One freedom we should cherish is tha right to meet together for worship. That is a freedom not prevalent in Europe." Work Necessary.

6 We should be thankful for labor. We believed labor a drudgery when we were children, he said. "But I saw 100,000 people in various places over there," he explained, "with nothing to do but stand around hour after hour in sand. Life is certainly monotonous without something constructive to do." 7 We should be thankful for abundance. "In spite of our rationing," he emphasized, "there is still virtually enough wasted in America to feed the starving people of Europe.

We should appreciate the good things we are allowed to have." 8 For adversity we should be thankful. "Some of life's greatest benefits come from adversity. Hard things have driven people to a greater trust in God. They bluild strong Christian men." 9 We should be thankful for faith. Its loss in Europe is one of the appalling things.

10 We should be thankful for conquest. "This is not the bloody type," he explained. "The true conquest is that of giving. It means the giving of materials, energy, love and sympathy to lift the life of a loveless world." Magazine Editor. Mr.

Hoover is editor of the Evangelical Visitor magazine. He was in mission work in Philadelphia prior to going to France to do relief work. Music at the afternoon service was violin solos by Charles King, singing by the junior department boys chorus and by a quartet composed of Philip Patton, Miss Helen Heck, Mrs. Vera Beachy and Peter Itopp. Norine Arends gave a reading.

Mrs. Merle Ebert was accompanist. Chris Kaufman was in charge. A basket dinner was held at the church during the noon hour. More than 100 attended.

During the morning service the Rev. A. J. Beachy talked on "Living Gratefully." Mrs. Herrington's Brother Dies Suddenly Dr.

George B. Kryder of Glen-dale, died suddenly Thursday night after a heart attack at his home. Dr. Kryder is the son of Mrs. Luella R.

Kryder of Freeport, and the brother of Mrs. W. A. Herrington, 1309 Franklin avenue. Other survivors are his wife and two children, Mrs.

Richard Homeyer and Pvt. George D. Kryder. Burial was Monday morning in Glendale. MOUNTING MUNITIONS.

Aigner Says "When you will to do only those things which are right, you crowd out all other things from your heart. In order to do this one must pull away from the crowd and place the responsibility upon himself." This was the theme of the ser mon or uev. ueorge Aigner oi Chicago Sunday at the First English Lutheran church for the final session of the Hub regian convention of the Lutheran Student Association of America. The convention was sponsored by Delta Gamma chapter of Illinois State Normal university. Pull Away From Crowd.

"We say we want purity of heart," said the leader of youth activities of Lutheran students in Chicago. "But saying is not enough. It will not be our best until we actually live it. "Too many times," he said, we are like those people who are ill and know a certain medicine will cure them. But instead of taking that medicine they try everything else first.

We remain too much of the crowd. We should realize that cowards are in the crowd and that people do not do their worst deeds by themselves. Officers Installed. "Purity of heart goes beyond race, tribe or nation," he explained. "It is accepting individual responsibility.

Dick Evenson of the Lutheran Theolbgical seminary in St. Paul, past president of the region, installed the new officers. They are: Grant Carlson, Augus-tana, president; Miss Henrietta Voigt, ISNU, vice president; Miss Margaret Poehl, University of Iowa, treasurer, and Miss Louise Proehl, University of Illinois, secretary.

If you'll get information from your Greyhound agent well in advance, he can help you avoid the times when buses are most crowded with men and women in uniform and with war workers. It's usually best to go on mid-week days and it's always best to travel light. A vacant seat is just wasted transportation so plan to go when the most seats are available.
