WHITES AND BLACKS AS A.

The New York Weekly Sun of the
4th has a very sensible article under
the above heading. After referring to
the addresses of the white and colored
speakers at the late colored State fair
in Mississippi "wherein the fact is
patent that the friendliest relations
exist between the two races in the
South" the Sun adds: "Yet Sherman
and Foraker are going about bowling
over the ill-treatment to which the
negroes of the South are subjected at
the hands Of their white neighbors.
The truth Of the matter is Sherman
and Foraker and all their kind
are alarmed because they know that
the whites and negroes of the South
have been getting on better terms with
each other we since the election of a
Democratic President. They are
alarmed at the prospect of losing so
many of their deluded followers, and
the fact that the South is peaceful and
prosperous is a bad omen to them"

came and set before us the beauty of com
pete righteousness. The man who has
really come into vital contact with Jesus
Christ feels that there is something higher
and better than these human standards of
morality. | pray, therefore, that God
may send YOU Il continual unrest and I'M
satisfaction that he may multiply your
blessings to show you that the only true
good for men is to be found in II complete
submission to the Lord God and com
plete living faith in him.
The Services at st. Paurs Chnrch.
The Thanksgiving sermon at st. Paul's
church was preached 10y Rev. DR. Bliss,
the services being participated in by the
Rt. Rev. Bishop Bissell and Rev. w. b..
Guion The text was taken from Psalms
Xcvii l. "The Lord reigneth let the
earth rejoice" The speaker began his
discourse 10y showing why we have reason
to be thankful that the Lord reigns He
is personal God, has unlimited power
and rules with Il spirit of Il bcnevolence.
We can the better appreciate these three
qualities by COnCeiving of II deity without
either one of these No one but Il Chris
tian can realize what Il blessing it is to be
lieve In Il God to whom we can go with
our sorrows in the hour of trouble. No
matter to what extent we look at our sue
cess and say it is our own doing, there are
things continually coming up in our lives
that make us feel the need of II personal
God. MaterialistS can never oVerturn
Christian belief in this world of crushed
and SOrrOWful hearts. In the second
place, however personal and sympathetic
Il deity might be who had not unlimited
power, we would have feeling that his
aid might fail us i'll the hour of need. In
the primitive ages the heather was not
sure but that some other deity might over
come that which he WOrShipped; Mercury
might Outwit Mars. But in God we have
a faith that is abiding. In the third place,
a deity who was all powerful but whose
laws worked with machine like precision
would invite little hope on the part of an
erring heart. Sins once committed re
pentance would be of no avail. How diff
ferent is it with the Lord He is one to
whom we can appeal directly, he is ON
nipotent and merciful.
As d nation and state we have great
cause for thankfuness. No great calam-
ed our territory and destroying pestilence
has left us untouched. While certain
crops here and there have been failures
the huSbandman has in general had an
abundant harvest in return for is la5ors.
Business as II whole is in IL satisfactory
condition and the country was probably
never more substantially prosperous than
at present.
1t will be noticed that in most of the
proclamations in reference to this day
stress is laid upon the return of thanks
for two thingS,-the continuance of the
blessings of which we are the recipients
every day such as abundant harvests and
general prosperity, and freedom from gen
eral calamity, rs wars, pestllence. In
reference to both of these we have special
reason for gratitude and we should there
fore unite in praise and Thanksgiving tc
the Lord.
