they were afraid of him because

tact is that they saw through HIM then

so frankly contesses his real feelings

then was TO get them under the con

He IS a preacher worth going hun

Many will doubt the efficacy OF

say he can never make real converts,

THE EVERLASTING THANKS"

"a Mean Little Orphan" in the Great

What a mechanical affair-nay, what
mean little orphan in the great family OF
words is the too often heard monosyllab.e,
Thanks" Especially does it seem so when
thought Of in comparison with the pretty.
pleasing, and proper expression. THANK
you.m Thanks can not well be spoken
without suggesting the idea to the one ad-
dressed that ths speaker is conscious Of an
occasion to be thankful for, coupled with
a desire to be considered proper" and that
these are being strangled by the belief that
there is not time enough on hand in which
to say appropriately, or else not culture
enough in stock to recognize the fitness OF
things by being simply polite.
Thanks" is cold, careless. and uncivil,
and fails in the purpose intended to be ac-
complished by its use 1t is heartless, mean
ingiess, and harsh to a sensitive listener, and
rolls itself off the tongue as il it was some
thing to bs got rid Of at the earliest possible
moment thank you" is warm. consid-
crate, and polite. 1t would be the coolest
kind of stole, indeed. who could give the
words full expression without both tho
speaker and listener getting sight of little
raw of sunshine that would otherwise have
escaped notice. Properly expressed. they
soothe and satisfy both they who give and
they who receive, and both find little well
of gladness springing up in their hearts that
had before been an undiscovered treasure.
This abbreviated form Of making recogni-
ton of favors received has only been in
vogue since the days Of shoddy came upon
US. 1t not only smacks Of shoidy, but it is
shoddy Observation-Disclosures shoddy. Each
might well bs put down in dictionary par

not so much at homo in many
places as it made itself when first intro
ducei In fact it is going out to sea with a
returning tide, slowly but surely. and let US
hope that Thanks may go out with it to
return no more forever.

tor of a race of people terribly sinned

tor of a race of people terribly sinned
against. Grant, as the silent man Of
destiny. whose performance was ever
greater than his promise; Brown, the
apostle of liberty, who believed IN GOD
and Justice, and in the blood OF mar
tyrs: these five characters shine as
bright enduring stars in the American
armament. shining more brightly as
they SHINE forever.
Peter Brown. the ancestor of John
Brown, was one of the pilgrims who
landed on plymouth rock in Decem-
Der. 1920, and Mayhew Grant, the an
cestor of Ulysses S. Grant. settled
about ten years later at Dorchester,
Massachusetts. a few years alter
wards the Grants and Browns were
at Windsor, Connecticut, as settlers,
Windsor having besn the first settled
town in that state; ana
early in this century, the Browns
and Grants were settlers III

Brown in 1900: Grant in 1922. And
how important las the work of each
in the :tOld Dominion" where Lord
CORVALLIS surrendered to Washing
ton and Robert +. Lee tO.Ulysses 5.
Grant, and where John Brown laid
down his life in behalf of the slave.
As Abraham Lincoln when youth
cherished belief that he would be
president of the United States, so
John Brown believed he would be a
Iiberator Of oppressed people.
When boy, ere he had entered his
teens, John Brown began to reflect
son the wretched, hopeless condition
Of fatherless and motherless slave
children. and swore eternal war with
slavery"
SAYS Mr.. Sanborn in his compare
sons: Besides the Potomac. where
the founder of our republic lived aud
died, crowned with hOnors, it was de-
creed that the restorer of the repub-
lie should also die by the hangman's
hand. The work that Washington
and jefferson left unfinished, Brown
came TO complete, and Lincoln with
his proclamation, Grant and Sherman
with their armies did little more THAI
follow in the path that Brown hao
pointed out"
The larger part Of the documentary
portion of this book is devoted to the
work of John Brown in connection
with the liberation of Kansas from
the thraldom of slavery, and cover:
the period of Kansas history frOu
1854 to 1859. The reading of these
letters and papers in the admirable
| connection with which Mr.. SanborI
has placed them, gives the reader :
most vivid picture of the Kansas
struggle and of the work of its mos
conspicuous actors.-Topeka Capital
