worshippers, and the sermon of the

the second verse of the 14lst Psalm /:
Let my prayer be set forth in Thy
sight as the Incense. and the lifting
up of my hands be an evening sacri-
flee
The speaker held up David as a
model guide to thankfulness. Men,
he said. ought to be filled with con
slant spirit of thankfulness. This
country was great one and had a
wonderful influence on the world, and
in it's great growth and wonderful
prosperity we had much to be thank
full for These blessings should be
constantly kept in mind with the
grand destiny in store for the nation
The fact that it is to be leader in
thought and civilization increased
the responsibility of its citizens, who
should cultivate spirit of thankful
ness for the blessings they enjoy, and
impress the importance of this spirit
on the coming generation, whose re-
sponsibilities will increase as the
country increases in extent and
power

INTERESTING SERVICES.
Gratitude for National, Local and
Personal Blessings.


A large congregation attended the
Thanksgiving services at st. Mark S
church yesterday morning. The pas
tor, Few. J. E. Bushnell, was assisted
by Rev. Mr.. Long and Rev. DR..
James, of the Allegheny institute.
An opening voluntary was beautifully
rendered by the we'll trained choir.
Following then came the Thanksgiv-
inc introit and collect, with the re-
sponsive reading to the Saith Psalm.
The subject of the pastors discourse
was "Gratitude for national, local
and personal blessings" The text was
jeremiah tx, 1924.
The speaker in his introduction
referred to the origin of Thanksgiv-
| ing day in Massachusetts, 266 years
ago. and the great development OF
the United States since that time.
The newspapers and the postal SER
vice were then not in existence. Lux
uries and comforts were almosr un
known. Even king had been
upbraided by his people for the luxury
of a feather bed. Stone and earthen
floors were the prevailing style, and
men wore garments made of skins and
Leather. The people, however, were
imbued with great religious fervor
and we're especially thankful for the
blessings they enjoyed.
After reviewing further the bless
ings of the inventions OF the present
age, the growth of the country and
the development of its resources, the
1 best evidence Of our gratitude, ht
said, was to use these blessings pro
! perIy.
The speaker also referred to thu

a fight betweetNthc police tug
Augusta, of Onancocl, Va, Captain
Russell, and the oyster schooner
Lawson. of Maryland, took place on
the Lewis reservation off Hogg Island,
in which the schooner Lawson was
sunk by the Augusta in two and a
half fathoms of water. The fight was
the outcome OF the disputed line be-
tween Maryland and Virginia. Vir
ginia claims that Hog Island and
flats are within the state limits, and
has jealousy guarded it again st ali
intruders. The Augusta sighted the
Lawson on the grounds dredg-
ing and at once put for her. The
Lawson showed fight and the captain
of the Augusta ordered full head
steam on and that the Lawson be
raInmed and sunk as ordered by Mr.
Lewis, lessee of Hog Island Flats.
The chase was short and exciting.
The Augusta soon overhauled the
Lawson and rammed forward amid
ships starboard side. striking dredge
roll and, glancing off, she again struck
the Lawson amidships IN starboard,
driving her bow four feet into the
Lawson, which listed over and began
to ill.
The Lawson's crew put Off in q
yawl and were picked up by the
Augusta and landed at Mr.. Lewis,
near Hog Island. The schooner was
valued at 81 500. The captain of the
Lawson said Governor jackson told
him that Maryland owned the grounds
and will hold Lewis responsible for
the loss. Besides losing the vessel,
Captain Evans sustained loss Of $50
Great excitement prevails among
Virginia oystermen, and fears are that
this is the first of serious fights that
will follow.

in very interesting talk OF about
fifteen minutes, after which Mr.
William Lind also made some very
pertinent remarks ON Thanksgiving
Mr.. 4. T. FiShburne and others made
short speeches on the subject, one of
the main points OF their remarks
being the complete religious liberty
allowed in this country, and the
necessity of being thankful for such
precious privileges. A very interest
ing feature of the services at this
church was the baptism of little Joel
Asberry, the bright and pretty son OF
Postmaster AS, Asberry.
