that early company. We do not go
out into the woods for the wild turkey as they did. But we get the
turkey just the same. I have no doubt that your thoughts of
thanksgiving to God for his many blessings to us this year are already
mingling with thoughts of scenes like this: [Detach the map drawing
from the board, turn it over and re-attach it with thumb tacks. Change
the map into a steaming roast turkey by adding the lines to form the
wing, the "drumstick," the garnishment and the plate. Use black for
all but the garnishment. This completes Fig. 121].

OUR HANDS
--Visitors' Day
--Conduct

Actions Sometimes Speak Plainer Than Words--The Important Part
Which Our Hands Play.

THE LESSON--That we should watch carefully "the work of our
hands."

This chatty little talk about the hand may be given added force if the

"But we don't need to go to the palmist to find out what is really in
our hands--to find out the real story they have to tell. Look at your
own hands a moment Let us see what we find there.

"Are your hands the kind that clasp other hands in warm friendship?
Are they hands which are busy every day doing good, honest work? Are
they hands that take food and clothing to the poor? Are they hands
that stroke the fevered brow? Are they hands that help to lighten the
burdens of other people? Are they hands that lift up the fallen one
and point him to Him who said, 'Come unto me all ye that labor and are
