Excerpt from He Gave Thanks: A Sermon Delivered in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church New York City Thursday, November 27, 1919 First of all, the fact of Thanksgiving Day, and the very great emphasis laid upon it, and the feelings associated with it and its customs, seem to me to give to all the world the keynote of the nation's thought. This is an attitude of mind, a tendency towards healthy-mindedness, that expresses itself in thanksgiving rather than in any other of the various ways in which you might celebrate your nationality.
