and he defended and delivered Us!
| The nation was saved. Thus having
whipped 5urselves-if An the side Of
right-nOw we could as easily whip
the world
Then followed a political war Of four
years, or as long as Andrew Johnson
/ disgraced the Presidential chair. Yet,
how could he have been otherwise
than an unrighteOus ruler, when he
was made President by one man? and
| he q wicked gambler, play-actOr,
drinker, blasphemer, murder, assas-
sin.
But thank heaven, such an un-re-
publican President is no more. Pence
TO his ashes.
We now have a President crowned
with imperishable laufels, and famed
around the world; a christian Vice
President, wise Cabinet officers, q
laige and safe Congress, sound Judges
| in the Supreme Court and some State
Governors which are not only noble,
but righteous rulers. Heaven bless
them all.
AS nation, we number about 40,-
100000; and at the present rate Of in
crease, In thirty-One years more, or in
the year 1900, we viii be numbered
one hundred million.
The reduction Of our National
Debt Is a source Of Joy and Thanks
giving, as it is about 81 1909, G0O pet
day. r-I
The products Of our gold mines viii
reach near 81, 900, 600 per day.
/ The cotton crop Is estimated at three
millions Of bales, which, at . cents
| per pound, would sum uD $500. .00O.O 900,
which is more than was ever received
by the South for any former crop,
The fruit and grain crop we have
not the means Of estimating. We
may judge pretty correctly by the sta
tistics of other years. Yet
one man this year-Judge j. III.
/ demonstrating 1000 peach trees,
/ has had yield Of $4,000 bushels.
| Our national commerce has become
wonderful. Our ships plOw every
open sea, and our sails whiten the
navigable waters of the world.
| Our manufacturing interests are
great and growing. Massachusetts,;
in boots and shoes alone this year,
will net up more than S95, ,00O, 600.

reforms which should be neither over

/ / will notice two which were Byf=
IDENTIFY fOretOld by prophecy and fn
| fulfillment of the same;
In the prophecy of Nahum, 2-4, we
read: 1.-THE chariots shall rage In the
streets; they shall iOstle one against
another in the broad ways they shall
seefn like torches; they shall run like
the lightiiing.u
On the 10th Of April, the last ''tie,1
made of silver, was laid, and the lass
spike, "made of gold, was driven to
complete the longest "traclSn for
those "chariOts, d" on which to 'iOstle
one against the other" with head
lights which "seem like torches"
which are now seen running across
this continent, in keeping with the
broad ways here spoken of. n
/ The otlfer prophecy, Isa ILLS, is the
completion of the SueZ Canal, which
was celebrated by the civilized world
on the 5th of the present month.
The Red Sea is no longer tongue, F."
but great thrOughfnre for the com
mereial world.
And now for all the worldwide,
national, personal, temporal, social
spiritual blessings too numerous to
mention, 'cOming down from the
Father Of lights" let us to-day return
Him our most devOut and hearty
thanks in Keeping with the language
of the Psalmist, 'Offer unto God
thanksgiving"
From heneefOrth, may his most
! gracious favor crown us each, for His
/ name and meTcie's Sake. Amen.
