A GREAT and learned atheist once
met plain countryman going to
church. He asked him:
"Where are you goingS"
"To church, sir"
"What to do there2"
"To worship God"
"Pray is your God great God or a
little God?" 32ai q.a
q "He is both, sir"
elbow can he be both2'
"He is so great, sir, that the heaven
of heavens cannot sustain Him, and so
little that He can dwell in my poor
heart" B.N s5aeo
The atheist declared that this sim
pie answer Of the countryman had
more effect upon his mind than all the
volumes the learned doctors had writ
ten upon the subject. .ao sa ,ass.s 30 Sa I

STocKINds.-Red coIored stockings,
whether of yarn, worsted or silk, were
much worn in New England for near
iy halt century after the arrival Of
our fathers. In 1929, when provision
was made for emigrants to Massachu-
setts, the stockings furnished were ac-
companied with ten dozen pairs of
Norwich garters. At an early period
of our country silk garters were worn
by the most fashionable, and paffed
into a large bow knot at the knee,
but as the custom fell under the no.
tice of the civil authorities, it was
forthwith prohibited.

AN Irishman being on a visit to
some relatives little more polished
than himself, was requested, on going
to bed, to be careful to ertiaguish the
candle; he was obliged to ask the
meaning of the word, when he was
told it was to put it out. alt1
Treasured up the term, and one day
when he was sitting at home in hi
cabin with his wife, enjoying the
'praties and buttermilk, on the pig
uncermoniously walking in, he said
proud of his bit of leaening)-
Judy, dear, will YOU extinguish the
pig2"
"Arrah, then, Pat, honey, what do
you mane?" inquired Judy.
"Mussha, then, you ignorant era
tur," replied Pat; ''it names to put
him out, to be sure"

CHARLES R. is three years old, or
thereabouts. The other day he be-
came angry because his father insist
ed on enforcing the paternal views on
some disputed point, and blurted out:
"You's fool papa"
Papa looked grave, and was pres
emily called out OF the room. s.t
Mamma embraced the occasion to
impress upon the young hopeful the
impropriety of his conduct, said papa
felt very badly, and pc must kiss him
and say that he was soory. So when
his. father returned Charlie rushed up
to him with his little face all smiles,
and kissing him over and over, ex-
claimed:
"Papa, l so sorry you's fool!"

CONGREGATIONS BENEI ISRAELI

CONGREGATION BENEI ISRAELI
In accordance with the Proclamation
for Thanksgiving and Prayer, the
congregation Benei Israel assembled
at the Temple on Sixth Street, and
listened to4an interesting and edify-
ing discourse delivered by the Rever-
end Simon Hecht. The address was
appropriate to the occasion, and lis
tened to with marked attention. The
exercises were interspersed with sing
ing, and a spirit of thankfulness
evinced. The, brethren of the Israel
itish faith were not forgetful of the
Proclamation, nor of duty to be
thankful for all fayors bestowed by
benign Providence.

CHRISTIAN.

Thanksgiving day was observed by
this denomination Of Christians at
the Court House. Rev. Mr.. Goodloe
preached an interesting sermon on
the duty of man in rendering thanks
to God for all His blessings. He held
that each man should be in a proper
condition to offer up thanks, and that
it was important that in lifting up
their hands, they should not be 8 lift
ed up with blood" By this he meant
that no one who had done a wrong to
his neighbor without repentance, was
a fit person to appeal to throne of
grace, and ask continuance of His
blessings. The sermon was principally
applicable to the duties of man, one
towards another, and was replete with
scriptural arguments. Though the
congregation was small, the discourse
was listened to with deep interest. A
fuller synopsis of the sermon would
be out of the question, in the small
space allotted.

formally recognized IN. the organic
law of our Government. This un-
fortunate omission seems to have had
Its effect all through the history of
the Government. AS there was no
theology in the Organic Act, there
has been too little in all the depart
ments of the Government The poll
atics Of the country have no recogni-
ton Of God and right, they are simply
based on. expediency. Wars are de-
clared, campaigns prosecuted, defeats
suffered and conquests achieved with
no thought only that the power of
men had been sufficient for these
things. In this particular, let it be
asserted, that none of our Presidents
IN their messages, proclamations,
speeches, &C., have equalled Andrew
johnson in the acknowledgment of
God and his universal Providence.
Third, the speaker noticed the OBJ
legation of praise and thanksgiving.
This was the religious element of the
Proclamation. Ordinarily, blessings
are referred to secondary causes. We
are too apt to say our own hands hath
gotten US the victory. Few of our
rulers rise into the religious but half
way. Public utterances seldom rise
above mere Deism. The Proclama-
ton is an example. In it there is no
Jesus-the Christ-the Saviour-in
any paragraph. No word indicates
the remotest recognition of the Holy
Spirit. Every blessing that comes to us
peculiarly by the Gospel system, is ig-
nored. To this Deism there have been,
among our Presidents, only.two illus
trious exceptions. George Washing
ton and Abraham Lincoln are the
only Presidents who, in their Pro-
carnations and messages, ever in
timated faith in the Trinity, or, by
any assertion or recommendation
held up for the belief of men in the
Divine Christ and the Divine Spirit.
While President johnson has more
theology in his papers than any
of his predecessors, no ejot of
Spirit or Christology has ever
burdened a line. In this partic-
ular, President Lincoln surpassed all
the other chief magistrates of the Re
public. The prime articles of Chris
tianity stand out upon all his papers.
All could unite in the closing para
graph of the Proclamation, and i'm
plore God that the Divine protection
and care we have hitherto enjoyed |
may be continued to our country and |
our people through all the genera
tions. But let US not forget what this
message does not menticn-the exist
ing differences between the law-mak-
ing and executive branches of the
Government. Let US implore God /
that those differences be so adjusted
as to result in the increased prosperi-
ty and happiness Of the people.
The sermon was listened to atten-
lively throughout, and received with
evident satisfaction.

AT THE VINE STREET PRESBYTER-
IAN CHURCH.-A large congregation
assembled, though the house was not
crowded. Here the three branches
of the Presbyterian Church united
with the Baptist, and held a union
service. There was a full choir, and
the music was unusually fine. The
opening prayer was by Rev. Mr. Nc
Carer, of the Walnut Street Presby-
terrain Church, and was one of large
comprehension and great fervor.
The Rev. Geo. f. Pentecost, of the
First Baptist Church, preached the
sermon from the diverse Of the 95th
Psalm, Let us come before His
presence with thanksgiving" -a
After a brief exordium, the speaker
said: The sere and yellow leaf of
the dying year reminds US that Time,
that steady old goer,' has served
another period in his ownward march
to eternity, and it is not without rea-
son that we, who are borne along with
him in his irresistible course, should
turn aside from the busy and absorb
ing cares Of life, for one day at least,
to retrospect, with heartfelt gratitude,
b the manifold blessings of the closing
year; and before entering upon the
festivities of the day it was :most fit
ting that we should, in this deyout
and specific manner, come into His
presence with thanksgiving, and bow
down with gratitude before the Lord
our Maker, to
Think on mercies past
And future good implore.'
While this is day of gladness, a
day in which all sorrow and mourn
ing should be drowned in the over
flowing tide of gratitude and thanks
giving that should pour out from
every Christians heart, aye, and from
the hearts Of all people, it is, also,
day Of religion, which should not be
converted into day of intemperance
and excess. Soon we shall dispense
to meet as families around the board
of bounty. Let not this sacred feast
Of Thanksgiving be converted into

HINTS on PICKLNG. Never use brass, copper
or bell metal kettles for picking. because verdi
girls produced in them by the vinegar is very poi
sonous. Kettles lined with porcelain are the best
but il you cannot procure them, block tin may be
substituted iron is apt to discolor any acid that
is boiled in it Vinegar for pickles should always
be of the best cider kind In putting away pickles
use stone or glass Jars. The lead which is an in
gredient in the glazing of common earthern ware
is rendered very pernicious by the action of the
vinegar Have a large wooden spoon and fork
for the express purpose Of taking pickles out OF
the jar when you want them for the table see that
while in the jar they always covered with vine
gsr. Ii You discern in them any symptoms of not
keeping well, do them over again in fresh vinegar
and spice, The jars should be stopped with large
fiat eorks, fitting closely, and having piece Of
leather oil cloth tied over it, IL is good rule
to have two thirds Of the jar filed with vinegar.
Alum is very useful in extracting salt from pickles
aud in making them firm and crisp, very small
quantity is suihcient--too much will spoil them.
In greening pickles keep them closely covered so
that none OF the steam may escape, as its reten-
ton promotes their greenness and prevents the
flavor from eyaporatng. Vinegar aud spice for
pickles should be boiled but a few minutes-too
much boiling takes away the strength.-Rnal
