THANKSGIVING LAY 1Hs Dds'ctL' VI
Thursday evening lies before Is. It be-
gins largely at the little snd aud whites
back toward the solid substance ct
things; dealing NJ length with the
sms!l thoughts of piping little pnlpiteers
sri leaving a msagre account Of the
great Stsbbins' sermon at the close. We
will not initiate its unworthy example
We will note. frs:, that Doctor stebblns
seems to have treated his hearers TO
learned and profound disquisition upon
the larger questions CT the day We
take it, from the scant account of his
sermon tina, he spoke mainly uith view
to promoting the emigration TO the gen
erou. sheres Of the Pacific Of the pinehed
populations of the overcrowded East.
1t il evident that when he talks 20 his
congregation he talks away over the
heads Of the little reporters WHO gather
into the front pews Of III. church.
Rev. John Hemphill said lie liked TIE
recognition of God by Grant as shown
in his proclamation; but Pachsco's was
not the thing at all for a Christian pso-
pie to assemble under. The Reverend
gentleman quoted ~ tollovs: II. Ro-
mualdo Paehsco. Governor of California.

dissent most emphatic "; tho it would
have been better il NJ. PacLeco mad

God as having some claim to recogni-
tion even by his own magnificent In

At the Synagogue. corner Of Pos. and
Tyler streets. Rabbi vidavsr preached to
alarge congregation. His sermon seems
to have bssn . very able one. We make
the following significant extract from the
report Of the same. 1t shows whore at
least one strong Jewish leader stands on
National entirety and the school 9uss-
ton. Speaking Of the unfriendly critics
Of our institutions he says:
They say to NJ. behold, you elorify in
the success Of the American Institutions,
dor't you sse them almost crushed be-
meath the pressing weight OF fraud. de-
ceptior. political crimes and social sins
that are brought 10 bear against them?
What are thoss diverse " Rings, whose
monstr0sitiss ring in the air like the
thrilling sounds Of funeral knell. fore
boding misery and destruction? Do not
orr politicians cheat? Do net our OH
Gers steal: Do not our judges ps,vsrt
Law, and do not our ministers preach
hypocrisy? Do not Jssuits labor to tar
nish our schools. ~. even our Conssitu-
ton, With the foul stain Of sectarianism?
Does cot the vulturs. laxury. ruin our
frssidss? And does not the greed Of
mammon, which, like fiery dslugs, 10
sweeping through the avenues Of society,
dsmorsiiss our people at large: Thus
lament many, and dsnounes our Rspub-
lie - . failure. But We say to these
GROWERS, " Behold the advantage Of
land 10 in its entirety" You who seek
to belittle the glory Of our Institutions
act Just like Balah who, when asking
Bala.m to curse Israel bade him look
only 1t one portion thereof; whereas
Balaam ascending the hill, looking
down and reviewing Israel in his " en-
tirssy"-rsvisving Israel IS whole
could not help sxclaiming, "Oh how
beautiful are thy tents. Jacob" Why
you Who would fsin find fault with our
Republic do not look at individual dis

tirsty; look rather at her ~ " whole"
and you will see in her q true child Of
