CONG. BLANTON WANTS
STATEMENT ABOUT DROUTH
(By John H. Regan Director of Education.)
"We return thank to THEE. ALMIGHTY OOD for thee bouav
teou flfta whlrb Thou arl about to bestow upon ua."
It la a simple prayer anj atlll on the lipa of million who bart not di-
vorced theinsejve from normal dream and normal Roala; tbou;;b I take It
tbat tin worda do Dot aacend aa freely today In an abundantly blessed Tmi
at waa the ease before the aoul brnmt dialacted with automatic and me-
chanical thinita. Certainly wherever pride haa been laid low aorrow hue caat
It mantle over tbe cradle and the rnurrlure bd; and want and destitution
have replared ease. and luxury the utterance does sometimes well again to
the llpa at tbe breaking of bread the drinking of the cup of milk ar.d the
Contentment In a bit of meat man's dependence upon aoiunlhlntf inure than
blnanlf.
' I ran well believe that the Ilniglane hold for America eomcthlns akin to
IMvlne Worahlp; tbat the French In throwlhg flower ujon our boye threw
tbm with the sane aenae of a eomethlnt reilclou that the place flower
before the altera of their cathedral; and when our men niarrlied through
London Ton there waa aurely the feeling that there wulked will) each of
them an Invisible presence which wa the cumulation of the prayers of Kng-
Ub widow a and orphan.
In tbe barkwaah of thlnre aa moat of aa are only remotely In touch with
the wretched mlaery and Buffering acroaa the aeaa. It aeetna to me (and ao
It abould aeem to everyone) that all these requeeta and admoiiltlona to ae
and corner are unnereaaary. The mere knowledge that a French Peasant
tod hla household lower their bead In thanksgiving for what we have aent
them thtougb "going without" aeema to me the greatest conceivable com-
(eniatlon for the paltry business of "going without" We aeeui an arduoua
time getting the viewpoint nor do I see why a multiplicity of maiming ahat
taring and killing are required to Intensify the fact that frugality during theae
time la magnificent privilege rather than bovine acceptance of an obligation.
