today.
II you would be grateful to God for placing Q
gift in your hand by an act of immediate power,
should you not be more grateful to Him when
His gift comes by the ministry Of 1aw-when it
comes through those whose beauty and wisdom
demand your admiration, whose stability
encourages your industry and faith and whose
comprehensiyeness elevates aud expands your
soul. Let me argue by an illustration. The
raindrops which water the burrows which
yield the fruits and grain which are piled up in
our msrkets-from what reservoir do they
como! Where are the depths broken up and
transformed into the vapor which, rising
heavenward. is waited on the wings OF the wind
to refresh our fields and enrich our hsrvests?

IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS,
Rev. Dr.. q. w. McCullough's Sermon ut tn
Union Service I'm Anacosfia

Rev. DR.. q. w. McCuliough's Sermon ut the
Union Service in Anacostia
At II 80 this morning union service was held
at the jackson Street, Anacostia, II. g. Church
The pulpit was filled by Rev. DIR. G. W. Nc
Cullough, pastor of the Anacostia Baptist
Church His text was, I'm Everything Give
Thanks, First Thessalonians, v:1s. The doc
tor first referred to the landing Of the Pilgrim
Fathers and spoke of their having knelt on the
rocks and offered up thanks for their preser-
walton from the dangers of the voyage. He then
specified the many things for which we should
give thanks. and first, for our existence. I'm
der this head he dwelt ON the wonderful struo-
ture and marvellous mechanism Of the human
body.
The doctor then spoke Of that still more
wonderful part Of man, the soul, bringing out
the idea that man is elevated above the brute
and that man is q being of advancement and
progress, while the animal makes no progress.
He cited a. an illustration the bee which con-
structs its cell now as il did 5000 years ago.
and the beaver its dam and the bird its nest
Secondly, he said weshould thank God for the
privilege OF casting our lot in Christian land.

IN America Thirdly, We should thank God for
His preserving care. Just after the food God
gave to Noah . precious promise, '.Seed time
and harvest, summer and winter, day and night
shall never cease while the world stands" That
promise has never been broken. II there has
been shortage Of the crop in one part of the
world there has been q superintendent crop in
another part Here the speaker referred to
Gods preserving care of the-nation from pesti-
lence and war. Fourthly, he said, Christians
are called upon to thank God even in times Of
adversely and affection, and. as an illustration,
used Job Old Testament 1T is easier to bless the
hand that gives than the hand that takes" but
let us also remember that the same hand that
takes also gives.
The doctor concluded by referring to Gods
great unspeakable gift of Saviour to the world.

There was q large area of thankfulness diff
fused over the city today. 1t was manifested
in a variety of ways, but there was no doubt
that it existed. The fact that the day was very
generally observed as a holiday contributed
very largely to this result. The weather bureau
attempted to envelope the holiday in clouds
and niists, but it did not altogether succeed,
although for the greater part of the day leaden
skies frowned upon all attempts at outdoor
merry making. In compliance with the sug-
gestions of the Presidents proclamation a
good proportion of the citizens went to church,
where they listened to the music and heard the
pulpit utterances, which, on this one day OF
the year, have rather secular bearing The
large congregations that attended the various
church services were, humanity speaking. well
rewarded for devoting portion Of the day to
religious observance, as the reports of the dis
courses delivered and printed below will indi-

not something to say to the school boy

eminent official, of loyalty and devotion
to the country's true honor and welfare? Yes,
does not that flag floating over our cities tell of
long and tedious battle against many national
at the ballot box? Well may we rejoice to see
the Capitol, the White House, The de-
partments and the public school houses;
not as a reminder OF war, but Of the duty we
owe our common mother in protecting her

DROWNED IN THE SEINE.
Foolhardy Men and Boys Attempt to
Cross 1t on the Ice.

Foolhardy Men and Boys Attempt to
Cross 1t on the Ice.
PARIS, Jan. IA terrible accident, by
which nine foolhardy pc. sons lost ther lives,
occurred here to-day. The Seine, with the
exception Of the middle Of the river, has
been frozen over for some time past. Yester-
day the whole river was covered with ice, the
middle Of the stream, however, being hidden
by what the police judged dangerously thin
Ice. Consequently the authorities forbade
the people TO attempt TO cross the river, and
the police were instructed to enforce the
order. In spite of this number OF ven
tu eSome men and boys utterly disregarded
the warning cry OF the police and OF the
crowds OF people who were watching them
and attempted to cross on the ice. As
they neared the middle of the
stream dull cracking reports were
heard, causing a number of the
foolhardy people TO ush back to the sides Of
the river, where the ice was much thinner
Others, to show how daring they were,
jumped on. Immediately, with long
series Of rumbliug cracks, the ice gave way
aud precipita cd q crowd of people into the
freezing water. Cries Of horror aud alarm
arose on the banks. and the police and life
savers rushed to the scene of the disaster
aud did their utmost to save life. In spite
OF their efforts, and though a number of
people were drawn from the river, nine per-
sons are known to have drowned.
