WHAT WE HAVE TO DE THANKFUL FoR-sERMoN
BY Mr.. o. B. FRoTHISGHAM.
During his discourse at Masonic Hall Rev. o. B.
Frothingham said The President has issued his
proclamation for Thanksgiving: but in the church
universal the custom has lost its religious element
and is now regarded only q social event.
The churches Thanksgiving Day longer
largely attended. and the preachers, instead of
discoursng on religious topics, discuss in tender
manner political affairs. The first idea that prompted
a day Of thanksgiving the recognition of all
merciful God. who gives everything to those who
wait and hope and pray. The second idea which was
intended to represent that the labor of the year
in producing and gathering the fruits Of the soil
was ended. as symbolical Of our treading
on the portals Of the life everlasting
These two ideas worked into the blood
and bone of the New England people. They

and diminish them in the modern philosophy

first time in the world there is seen something like

assert that il farther of from than before

When food shall be more plentiful the poor will

In some hearts they are prompted by aspirations to

II is no wonder that the great Sovereign Of the
Universe. the Almighty King of Kings, should have
been regarded in the past almost inaccessible

the real truth and faith. Awe and decentralization
before mysterious power, are the elements OF
true reverence for being whose real glory is after
ward recognized in moral beauty and spiritual ex-
ceence The gold of the altar dazzles the eye before
the sacrifice it touches the heart. 1t is neces-
sary to denote the glory and beauty Of Him
who dwelleth in temples made by, hands
by the erection of magnificent churches
Millions can look up at the vault of the sky. can be-
hold the enamelled floor Of the fOwery earth, the
altar lights Of the ever burning stars the baptisma
font of the sea. and hear the eternal tany of the
signing woods and the supplicating cry of all ami
mated nature. yet they experiences no feeling that
they are in Gods selferected temple. They Will 80

The congregation should not forget that one of the

cious in Samuels time because there was no
open vision Open vision is that first and direct view
of God and spiritual realities on whkh all prophets
have founded traditional religions. No man need
wholly base his faith in religion at second hand. God
is known and and trusted by thousands of souls
who need other evidence of His Being His will
than what is directly revealed to their hearts, There
is that within more sacred than cathedral altar or
stained window or sacred writing. 1t is the soul

Shooting On Tuesday evening a very
unfortunate affair occurred at Rannie's store,
on the Seventh Street pike, between the pro-
prietor of the slore Mr.. Jas. Rannie, and his
brother'in law, Mr.. VIM. Dwyer. For some
time these gentlemen had been at difference
upon family matters, aud upon discussion
of the affair at the store on Tuesday a ffacas
occurred between them in which weights and
tumhlers were thrown, and finally resulting
in RanDies shooting Dwyer in the back Of
the neck. Three shots were fired but only
one took eject. The wound inflicted, we are
Informed, is not dangerous but very painful.
Both Of these gentlemen are highly respected
as good and orderly citizens, and this unfor-
tunate affair is much deplored in the commu-
nifty.
