Lord, ho Immediately expressed his thanks by wanting to follow and serve him. Then he proved his gratefulness and devotion by being willing to obey Christ’s command to stay behind and testify to bis own people. Colosslans 3:17 tells us that giving thanks to God consists In doing all (whether In word or deed) In the name of the Lord Jesus. If you will read this verse and Ephesians 5:20 in their contexts, you will find that, in both cases, they are followed by some very practical instructions as to how such thanks should be given. The Speakers’ Outline 1 THANKSGIVING IN "DEED” (Col. 3:17; Eph, 5:20 to 6:7). L By submitting to one another (Eph. 5:21; cf. 1 Pet. 5:5; Heb. 13:17). Submitting to one another brings both glory to God and defeat to the enemy. "Just before the Battle of Trafalgar, In which the gallant Nelson lost his life, he was engaged in giving Instruc tions to his officers. When he Inquired of Admiral Collingwood where his cap tain was, he was told that he and Cap tain Rotherham were not on good terms with each other. Nelson exclaimed, in tones of kind reproach: Terms! Not on good terms with each other!’ And then, sending a boat for Captain Rotherham, he led him as soon as he arrived to Collingwood. Placing their hands to gether, he pointed to the enemy’s ships, and looking them both In the face, ut tered the simple words: ‘Look, yonder Is the enemy.’ It was enough; the two officers forgot their disagreements, and fought side by side till victory crowned their heroism.” * 2. By honoring parents (Eph. 8:1-3). This does not mean that one should be obedient only as a little child. It means that all his life he should re spect and honor his father and mother. This attitude Is not popular today, but obedience here proves one’s genuine thanks to God for those who have made a home for him. 3. By obedient service (Eph. 6:5-8). Many people brag about being able to "get by with anything” with their teachers or employers. Does the Chris- *From 1000 Acts and Facts ¡by H. Pickering.

Discuss this matter by giving practical illustrations of what the Chris tian may not do, If he would maintain an attitude of “thanksgiving In ‘deed.’ ” n . THANKSGIVING IN “WORD” (Isa. 63:7). There are some whose hearts are warm with gratitude toward their Maker and Redeemer, yet they find it very difficult to say anything about it. Isaiah says he will “mention the loving-kind nesses of the Lord.” There is no place where it is so easy for one to find his tongue for God as in the sympathetic, informal atmosphere of the young peo ple’s meeting. Isaiah remarks about the Lord's goodness as being bestowed upon His people In two ways: 1. “According to Ms mercies.” “Mercies” suggest forgiveness and favor shown where they are not de served. What greater example Is there of God’s mercy than the cross where Jesus Christ laid down His life that lost sinners might be brought into fel lowship with a holy God? Several who know they are saved might be called on at this point to give a brief tes timony praising the Lord for what Cal vary means to them personally. 2. “According to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses.” While God’s mercies speak of what He does for the repentant sinner, His “loving-kindnesses” are those fond ex pressions of His love which He showers upon His own children. They are spoken of as a “multitude” in number (cf. Psa. 40:5; 139:17, 18). It would be Impossible to call attention to them all In the brief time alloted to one young people’s meeting. However, let each one take stock of the definite tokens of God’s care which he has experienced during the preceding week, and let as many as possible tell their experiences.
