sentiments:
Rev. A. R. Graves. Gethsemane Church
Show me q family that. in mOiern soft phrase.
is ruled by love and | will show you familr
ruled by laXiTy or not at all. and III which
there is little love. How shall child who
knows not how to obey his parents. know to
obey the laws Of his country after he becomes
a man? Let US re lie that we have duty t.
our God and our nation beyond the singing o!
hymns and shouting ''hurrah" on the Fourti
OF july and that it / Is il the line OF purify
ing. elevatng and binding closer together the
family, for from the family comes the nation.
Rev. T. B. Wells, st. Mark s-God has be-
slowed wealth upon favored men, but it is
only a trust repOsed in them. They are the
taients OF gold and silver of which good use
must be made. Could they be better en-
ployed than in the alienation of the wants
and misery of the poor?
Rev. j. J. Hall, Westminster-There is
reason to bless the Lord. In our shortsight-
edness we may not be able to read Alright the
signs of the times, and what we mag look
upon as the coming storm NAV be- the usher
ing in of one of Gods great blessings. Co.
gave US the most beautiful portion of the
globe to inhabit. Our ancestors never
dreamed of the hidden treasures of our soil.
The founders of Lynn doubted if population
would ever extend west of Newton. Yet see
what century has revealed. What hath
God wrought? America, with her grand Old
Gag streaming from North to South, with not
q star mis>ing-surely here is cause for
thankfulness.
Rev. w. ]. Hobbs, Church of Christ
THANKSGIVING should always occupy en- over
flow the heart. This day is set apart for pub
lie acknowledgement to the Giver of all good
ness of God should never be forgotten. His
debt the service and that of lifetime can
not repay.
Rev. F. J. Purdy st. PauPs-This favored
section of the country seems beneath Gods
brightest smile. TIE no of plenty has
passed continually over our fertile fields and
even the poor have here more cause to bless
the goodness Of God.
Rev. J. L. Pitner Hennepin Avenue NJ. E.
] have no sympath with a young man who
wants anything more than chance. That is
ali any right minded, stroug-handed young
man should want. God gives every one .
chance and he holds him responsible for the
nse be makes of it. Every one must undergo
struggle. Without adversely there can lie
no virtue. A man who does not know adver-
sity does not know the glory of victory. !
have a sincere commiseratiOn for man who
knows no ten ptations
Rev. D. d. McLaurin, Bloomington Avenue
Presbyterian-The oldest government in the
world is that of the family. All other govern
ments have failed. Iron corporations have
applied their strength and revolutions have
swept them away. All other governments
seem born without the principle of defense
when assaulted from without or stricken b.
corruption within. and been unable TO resist
the outward intrusion or recover from the
immediate disturbance. "Cling to the home
1t is there the meanest WELD thee hearth
and shelter for thy head a mans home
is his castle.
