Yanks and Brits have Thanksgiving in 1942

An American organist in Westminster Abbey

The Wall Street Journal is a magnificent newspaper with terrific articles that uplift the soul. One such article appeared in the paper today for Thanksgiving. I urge you to read it and mull over the importance of thanking God with other world leaders.

Here is a brief excerpt from the article.

The most dramatic ceremony was in London's Westminster Abbey, where English kings and queens have been crowned for centuries. No British government had ever permitted any ritual on its altar except the prescribed devotions of the Church of England. But on Nov. 26, 1942, they made an exception for their American cousins.
