THANKSGIVING aIaA ON.

[By Rev. A. U. Hutchins1
Union Thanksgiving services were held
in the Presbyterian church. where lar e
congregation was in attendance. The
church was beautifully decorated with the
fruits Of the earth; members from the
four societies generously contributing for
that purpose and lending their aid in the
arrangement of the articles. The singing
was excellent, for union choir, composed
of Presbyterians, Universalists, Methods
aud Episco ins. After the usual pre-
! liminary exercises and an earnest and
appropriate prayer from the Rev. Toner,
presiding elder of the Methodist church,
the Rev. A. U. Hutchius of the Univer-
salist church read his text from Deut.
lG, II, and spoke substantially as follows:
',h time of rejoicing referred to in my
text, was at the feast of Tabcrnacles, or
of ingathering. II was time when all
the fruits of the earth were gathered and
safely secured. On this occasion all or
dinary labor was usually suspend, and
from the fact that this festival was or
daincd in Wisdom, 80 as to interfere as
little as possible with the industry of the
people. most Of them could generally par
ticipate. Consequently it was feast of
rejoicing, and the children of Israel ccle-
bratcd their Thanksgiving with appro-
pirate service and ceremony. The wis
dom Of Moses is clearly seen in the ap.
pointmcnt and regulation of this and
other feasts, they had tendency to unite
the people, and to cultivate feeling of
gratitude and thansfuIness. A. a prophet
Moses stood high with his people; as a
law-giver, he stands prc-eminenty SO in
the estimation of all; for the general spirit
Of justice and freedom, may be traced to
the Moasic Code. There we find pro-
visions made for the poor, for the widow
and the fatherloss; no rejoicing should be
so great as to exclude them from thanks
giving feast. A Jewish beggar is rarely
seen, the rich care for the poor, and the
law of Moses in this respect at least, ex-
erts an influence on the world to-day. So
you see, that in this Thanksgiving feast
the children of Israel had the opportuni-
ty to rejoice unitedly together There.
gratitude found an expression, aud gcner-
GUS feelings We're awakened en- behalf of
the poor, there the Israelira was remind
ed that his fathers had been bondmen in
Egypt, and slaves to foreign power,
that they had been restored to liberty and
become posscsscrs of country, that ac-
cording to fguratiyc language flowed
with milk and honey" Hence how
natural, that praise, and giving of thanks
should be aseribed to them. Who had
provided for all their wants? In the his
tory of the Puritans, who first settled
New England, We find many things sim
liar to those recorded of the Israelites.
They too, were slaves to a foreign eccles-
iasticism, they were denied the right of
private judgement and public worship,
they had served task masters, who impos-
