GIVING THANKS.
How the Churches Celebrated
Thanksgiving.


The unusually fine weather OF Thurs
day morning contributed largely to-
ward making the day enjoyable and in
filing all of the churches where serv-
ices were held. Without exception,
every congregation Of the city assembled,
either in its own or some other church,
to return thanks for the innumerable
blessings and benefits We have enjoyed
during the past year. Upon this sub
iect bore the discourse Of each minister,
and the organs and choirs seemed
strung to pitch Of gladness as the
hymns and chants were poured forth.
PRESBYTERIAN UNION.
The First, Second and U. 2. Churches
Joined in Thanksgiving services, which
were held in the U. p. Church. Rev.
DIR. Mcclure and Rev. j. ID. Moiiat as
sisted in the exercises. and Rev. ID. A.
Cunningham, ID. D., the pastor OF the
First PRESBYTERIAN Church, preached the
sermon. His subject was "The Harvest
Home" and the text was in Deuterono-
my XVI; 1914, "ThOu shalt observe the
feast Of tabernacles seven days after that
thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy
wine; and thou shalt rejoice in thy feast,
thou, and thy son, and thy daughter,
and thy man-servant, and thy maid
servant, and the Levite, and the strang-
er, and the iatherless, and the widow,
that are within thy gates" The sermon
was peculiarly suited for the occasion
and appreciated by the large and intelll-
gent congregation. No mere abstract
can give a proper conception OF its apt
ness and comprehenslveness.
METHODIST UNION.
The various Methodist Churches OF
the city united in service held at the
Fourth Street Church. Rev. Z. P.,Mas-
den otiiciated and was assisted by the
pastors Of the several churches whose
congregations were present. The music
was unusually fine, for which much
praise has been lavished on the choir.
A full synopsis of the sermon will be
found in our Sunday Column
DISCIPLES CHURCH.
The congregation of this church was
ioined by those Of the English Evan
gelical and Chapline Street Methodist
nm union services. Rev. :. b. Barnitz,
preached from Tines. V. Is, 10 the large
audience. The tendency of the human
race To complain of misfortune, rather
than to remember and appreciate its
blessings, was graph cally presented,
closing with patriotic description OF
our American liberties. Some exceed
ly fine music was rendered blythe choir,
in which the audience joined with un-
usual iervOr and interest.
In the evening the church was again
filled with its friends and members to
rejoice over the success of the efforts 10
redeem the church from its heavy debt.
President PendletOn and Prof. l.OOs, OF
Bethany, and Rev. Dean, OF Disciple
Church of Bellaire, were among the
prominent visitors. Short speeches
and music were the order of the evening
and the choir fully sustained its envia-
BILE reputation. Solos by Oscar Seeley
and Miss Theresa Phillips were finely
rendered and fully appreciated. During
the evening the pastor, Mr.. Thomson,
was presented with a fine suit of clothes,
as token Of the appreciation Of his Ell
forts in behalf of the church, Frank 7.
Mcneil making the presentation. 1t is
also rumored that Prof Weber, the or
ganist, Was the recipient Of handsome
present, privately from the ladies OF the
church.
