THANKS TO THE LORD.
Devotional Services Held at the Different
Places Of Worship.

Devotional Services Held at the Different
Places Of Worship.
Rev. Mr.. Lane preached to large con-
gregation at St. Paups yesterday morning.
Tsking for his text the words, BE Ye
Thankful" the gentleman said that thank
fulness was the feeling of the heart
thanksgiving WIS the expression of that
feeling. This duty of thankfulness, this
obligation of thanksgiving, must not be for
gotten. 1t was the cream of Christian
worship, and the glory which redounded
10 God through the thanksgiving of His
people was the ultimate end and aim of
their being. The thankful heart the
thankful lips, the thankful life-these
alone fulfilled the purpose for which
the observance of THANKSGIVING
day as a national custom spoke
well for the general conscience, and was at
least an outward and visible siga Of some
degree of moral growth and health. Ma
tons, as well as individuals, were apt to
forget in times Of prosperity
THE SOURCE OF THEIR GREATNESS.
Ingratitude might become a national, as
well as an individual sin. As science and
learning increased and civilization grew in
splendor, in the pride Of intellect and
advanced thought, men might put sill relig-
Ion away from them and claim as their own
triumphs the things they had achieved only
by the help Of God. For behind all these
men-behind all human agencies, behind
all that was visible, was a divine
energy, an omnipotent power that con-
trolled all things. God himself was on the
stage, and shifted the scenery of the mighty
drama with his own hands, assigning to
each his appropriate part Therefore 1t
was the highest national wisdom to bear in
mind that it was God who kept the nation
and 1t was his sword that won for US the
victory.
REyERANoE AND GRATITUDE TO GOD.
were the strong foundation stones upon
which the founders of the republic rested
the superstructure of their political fabric
No nation Of history had ever been so
richly endowed with natural resources
IS our OWE, no nation of history
mad grown SO rapidly as cur own
In al ways. The speaker here sketched
briefly the natural advantages of our
country and its marvellous DEVELOPMENT
the story Of which he said, read like tale
from the Arabian Nights. He then took
up TINS territory and drew vivid picture
OF its wonderful resources.
1t was fitting that at least one day should
be set apart in every year in which to
thoughtfully review the events of the pas
year and call into existence that most re-
spected but noble quality Of gratitude.
They must also feel sense of tender
gratitude for the infinite power under
whose watchful eye the universe had
been guarded. Above all, the man
who was grateful for his own blessing
would show it in practical benevolence on
day that should remind even the wealth.

and overfowing bounty of heaven, the
withdrawal Of which, even fer the brief

others.

The Alta Club.

AT the Alta club a magnificent lunch,
under the direction of the steward, ]. H.
Nichols, was spread In the directors room,
which was handsomely decorated for the
purpose. The chandeliers were festooned
with smilax and Cry santhemums, and from
the arms were suspended orange and lemon
branches with the fruit clinging thereon.
There were chestnuts suspended in the
burr, while the flowers and fruitage of Cal
lfornia were distributed around the room.
The table presented handsome appear
ance. At one end a magnificent thirty
pound turkey lay: at the other a roast pig
awaited the advent of the carver. There
were lobster and cheese broths as an appe
tizer; in the center was pyramid of mac
caronns, and the usual concoritants tempt
and appease the appetite. 1t was a spread
that a king would envy.

Two weeks ago the Rev. Mr. Lane, of the
Episcopal church, delivered lecture be-
fore the P. 0. S. of A on the dangers that
threaten our institutions. 1t was a thought
full, wise and lucid address that every
American might we'll read with profit. And
it was all the more admirable because the
speaker turned deaf ear to the counsel
lors who wanted him to salt and pepper it
with an anti-Mormon harrangue.

Union SerYicen.

Union services of the Methodist, Congre-
gational, Presbyterian and Baptist
churches were held at the Methodist
church. Special preparations had been
made in the way of music. Rev. R. G. Nc
Niece, pastor of the Presbyterian church,
preached the sermon.
II want to see a city government that
viii furnish ample protection to the citi-
zens at any time of night"
Upon the platform were Rev. Mr. Mabry
and DIR. Lift of the Methodist church. Rev.
w. S. Hawkes. and Rev. j. B. Thrall of the
congregational church, Rev. H. b.
Steelmsn OF the Baptist church, and Rev.
Z. L. Arnold and DR.. McNiece OF the
Presby terrain church. The large choir of
the Methodist church. under the effective
leadership OF MIR. Harper furnished most
excellent music, and the large congregation
sang the patriotic hymn most effectively
together as closing hymn.
DR.. m'NIECE's SERMON.
The sermon of DR. McNiece was based nm
Thanksgiving day itself and upon the
seventh, thirteenth and twentieth verses
OF the l4fth psalm. The introduction Of
the sermon was picture of the old New
England Thanksgiving, with its family
gatherings and reunions in the old home
drawn SO faithfully to the life that it pro
duced both smiles Rpd tears.
The preacher then considered the obliga-
ton TO join sin national hanksgiving and
the causes Tor thanksgiving this present
year. In speaking OF the causes for thanks
giving In our city, the speaker drew
cheering picture of the attractiveuess and
future prospects Of the town. His refer
ence TO the need Of q city government
which will furnish US protection when we
walk the streets any hour of the night and
protect us In our homes, q lack of which has
been felt here for many many years and not
yet supplied, and the consequent import
ance OF putting men in Office who will en-
force the laws, caused the great audience
70 break forth in repeated applause
The last part Of the sermon was made up
Oh pictures OF national prosperity, with
statistical summaries, and a consideration
OF the signal way in which the underlying
principles OF Christianity have promoted
our national greatness and stability.

EX-GOVERNOR WEST

was then introduced and greeted the bows
most cordially. He said he was present by
reason of an invitation over year old, but
regarded it IS good even Cor a year hepce.
One sentiment only he would offer:
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-11-27

In Salt Lake city just now it is no longer
question of politics but question of
morality that confronts the people, and the
ministers should not only join, but lead in
the crusade against the evil that threatens
to engulf US. In this sense we accepted
the mass meeting held last year in the
First Methodist church and in this sense
the remarks of DR.. McNiece yesterday
were eminsntly appropriate.

Bread Out Of Sawdust.

Washington Star.
A Star reporter was informed
that the department of agriculture
is interested in the plan for max.
Ing bread out of sawdusi.
Absurd ? BY 10 means. Scent
lists believe that there is no good
reason why the thing should not
be entirely practicable. Every
body knows that starch is a sub.
stance extremely nutritious; in
TACT, it is nearly all nutriment.
Well, sawdust and starch are the
same thing. Sawdnst, which is
"cellulosc," is OF precisely the
same chemical composition as
starch. The two r expressed by
the chemical formula-C6 H10 O5
that is, six parts of carbon, len
paris OF hydrogen and five parts OF
oxygen. These are the simple in
gradients Of either starch or saw
dust. Scientific experimenters
have been trying tor a long lime 10
lind out a way to transform the
one into the other. Il they should
succeed the discovery would be
away ahead of the philosophers
stone in point of value. An mex
hauslible source of food supply
would at once be rendered availa-
BILE in The forests, the grass and
even in the straw and chat.
Hitherto chemistry has occupied
itself almost wholly with taking
things apart, in order to find out
what they are made of; but now
science is directing its attention to
putting elements together for the
production of useful substances.

Ship Island is an island of white
