The observance of Thanksgiving this
yeaI did not deviate from the usual
way in which the day is celebrated.
The business portion of the city was as
quiet as on Sunday almost, only that the
resorts of good cheer" which are to q
greater or less degree closed on the first
day of the week were open. The hotels,
restaurants and all places at which
refreshments are served set up menus
that included about everything in an
edible way that was in season. There
were. of course. the usual family gath
erings, dinner parties almost with
out limit. In the evening there
were large number OF dances
and other social festivities. The
churches all had large congregations.
There were not so many union meetings
this year, but on the whole the religious
observance of the day was never SO
general perhaps. AT many of the
churches collections were taken up tor
the associated charities.
The Episcopal churches united in a
general service at st. Pnuls, and con-
trary to their usual custom. The ser
mon was preached by Rev. j. J. Faude,
of GethSemane church, who considered
the social and spiritual sides of Thanks
service of song. The liueral churches
united at the Church of the Redeemer.
Rev. Nj. ID. Shutter presided, and Rev.
August Dahlgren, of the Swedish Uni
versaiist society, read the hymn
My Country, Ills of Thee" Rev. S.
W. Sample, of All SAINTS church, de-
livered the sermon. whose main thought
was that independence of man is q farce
and deluSl0n, and that thanks should be
given to God for prosperity. High mass
was celebrated ut all The Catholic
churches. and at The immaculate Con-
ceptiOn church Rev. Father McCarren
preached THANKSGIVING sermon. Union
services were held in East Minneapolis
by the Methodists. at the First NJ. E.
church. The congregations of the West
minister Presbyterian, First Baptist,
Centenary Nj. E.. Hednrpin Nj. Z.
churches met in union service at Ply
mouth church. The sermon was deliy-
cred by Rev. DR.. Wayland Hoyt, of the
First Baptist church. The Bethlehem
PreSby terrain, Lake street Nj. E., Lyn-
dale and Fifth avenue Congregational
churches of the Eighth ward joined
Simpson Nj. E. church in service, corner
First avenue south and Twenty-eightn
street. Rev. ID. s. McCas!in. of Bethle
hem, delivered the sermon. In New
Boston Cntre was union service at
Shiloh Presbyterian church. There
were also number of churches that
held individual Service, while the
Scandinavian churches all had large
congregations at the Central Baptist
church. A Sunday school celebration
was held ih the afternoon.
The sermons for the most part were
of a secular nature, many of the pas
tors touching upon political, religious
and educational questions of tile
day. They for the most part
were in accordance with the spirit of
the day. One exceptions, perhaps, was
that of Rev. WayIand ,Hoyts, at
Plymouth church. He JUMPED on Sun
day newspapers as 1.-THE wlthermiSt
moral blight which stands for defiance
OF divine law" He dipped into politics,
and demanded that the patrol limits
should not be extended. and wound up
with a lecture upon brotherly love as
applied to the warfare between Mime
apOiIS and ST. Paul. The sermon was
lively one, and the vast audience he adj
dressed was vastly entertained.
