Tomorrow, Thursday has been set
apart, by the President of. the United
States, as day of Thanksgiving. The
day will be observed here. All stores
and places of business will be closed al
dav. Revs. Marks and Boyd will holo
union services in Grace Church. We
are glad to see this, and we do sincerely
wish that the time would soon come
when the whole people would observe
this day as becomes Christian people
not by hunting and fishing, and frolick
ing, but by rendering it Jay ofreal
heartfelt thanksgiving to our gooe
Lord and Master. we all have muct
to be thankful for, and is it too muct
to give God one day out of 3l3? W.
verify believe, and on the authority 0
Gods word, that if we were mor'
God-loving and God-serving people, WI
would not so frequently be visited BY
great droughts and great freshets, ant
contagious and the many advers'
things that come to us not only as 1
whole people but as individuals. Coz
will surely purnish US for the sins o
omission as we'll as the sins of commits
sion. Even in business light it pay
to be Christian in this world. We d.
not pretend to say that a person is no
a christian who does not ohserv'
thanksgiving day, but We do most em
phatically say, that it is the duty o
every one whether Christian or not
who lives under the American Govern
ment, to observe thanksgiving day in
becoming manner. YUBE.
