REV. JOHN MATTOCK6.

This is our anniversary of public thanks and
prayer to God-the prescription of custom
the annual review of Gods goodness, the ways
Of Providence benignant, the ordinances of
tender mercy which never fail. But when we
speak of Gods goodness where shall we begin,
what train of thought pursue and how limit
our words? For the occasion prescribes the
form of our devotions to-day-praise and
thanksgiving. We bring forward not so much
our wants and our sins, in this service, as our
debt of gratitude. Our songs strike the high
note of praise, and we erect our memorial to
testify to the mereiful interpretations of God,
preserving and delivering us amid dangers and
alarms, and bringing us thus far safely along.
There are few who recall any past year Of
personal history who do not experience.
soulemotions which agitate like looking on
dangers safely passed. What dangers and de-
structions we are barely escaping-many Of
them known only when they are passed. DC
casions for Thanksgiving to God are perpetually.
recurring, until it is not all presumption to
feel that good angel is assigned for our pro-
tecting. If we have not in form the ministry
of angels, we have all that such ministry Inn,
plies-the protecting and delivering goodness
of God But individul expressions are for indi-:
vidual meditation, not on set day, but in every
calm hour of devotion. Still in public thanks
giving the thoughts will steal away to personal
experience. No year, fearless and unalloyed,
without perplexity and pain is found in human
history. Still in every sorrow there is mer-
cy. in every pain there is the comfort of divine
goodness. The blow was stayed before it alto
eether crushed It has been but passing
cloud across armament of light. For one
sorrow there are thousand joys-for one tear
ten thousand smiles. And it is not right before
God that an occasional trouble should be per-
mitted to obsure all the heavens. -
What we call protecting and delivering mer-
cies seem most to affect our souls-.hose acts
of preserving care extended to rs in the midst
of special dangers, of which we are conscious,
which excite our fears; those mercies Of inter-
position by which we are extricated from per-
ilous straits And many such gratitude recalls.
| We have received our annual harvest of
competence Notwithstanding we had just fears
Of want. A few more rainless, cloudiess days
and untimely suns, would have blasted all

REV. ]. G. RIHELDAFFER.

That God is king over all the earth is matter
of JOY to all who trust in His holy name and
believe in His almighty power. When nations
ars troubled, the tread Of armies shaking the
Garth, thrones and republics topping to their
fall, and the elements of society seem dissolv-
ing-f we think only of the work of destruc-
ton, we tremble with fear of what may be
coming upon the world. But when we turn
our thoughts to Him who is king among the
nations and holds destiny in His hands, we
may rejoice in all that He is doing and praise
Him for His works to the children of men
Only upon this ground of faith in the wisdom,
power and goodness of God can we take part
in the services appointed for this National
Thanksgiving. We must look up from the
wild waves to Him who holds the winds, and
rejoice-not in the storm or danger, or the
fearful extremity that cOmpels us to heave our
treasures into the sea and pour libations of
blood. but in the fact that God is above all, and
that these awfully stirring events are His agen.
cies for the accomplishment of His eternal pur-
pose concerning the human race. .loa s9lu-aS
If led to views becoming intelligent Chris
tian minds, we shall not be elated at one victo-
ry or cast down by defeat on this or that field.
Our hope will be in the goodness of our cause
and in God-our encouragement in the aggre-
gate Of success and legitimate means employed.
From this stand point shall address you on
the great absorbing subject Of thought, to ig-
more which, on this occasion, would be the
sacrifice of an opportunity to express thoughts
it may be duty to utter in furtherance Of that
