THANKS TO THE LORD
His Abundant Blessings Acknowledged
bya Grateful People.

They Appear Together at Beth Ahaba
and Make Pine Addresses.

The Methodists, Prcsbytrrians. and Disci.
pies Have Union and the Baptisfs Sep
arate Observance Other Features.

The people OF Richmond gave them
selves over most heartily to the OBJ.
servance OF Thanksgiving Day, and the
expectation that the holiday would b.
more generally kept than ever before was
fully realized. Except in a few retail
establishments. business was entirely sus-
pended. and the spirit OF the occasion
was manifest among all classes.
At the various churches In which
Thanksgiving services were held there
were fine CONGREGATIONS. and nearly every
family that could afford II had some
thing extra for dinner in honor of the
day. The charitably inclincd-and Rich.
mond numbers thousands OF them among
her rtlzens-did not forge: that the
poor are always with us. and in hume.
rous Instances these latter were sought
out and relieved
The most noticeable religious service
OF the day was that at the Synagogue
Beth Ahaba, where the speakers were
Rev. Or. Moses ID. Hogc, of the Sc
cond Presbyterian church, and Rabbi T.
n. Callsch.
Among the young, the middle-aged, and
not "a few of the old the great event
in the way OF recreation was the long
talked-of football game between the
ssams Of the University of Virginia and
the University of North Carolina. Never
before had the football fever been 20
pervasive in Richmond, or raised the
people TO such a pitch Of excitement
Every other man, woman and child met
upon the streets sportCd the colors OF
one or the other Of the institutions, and
vhen the hour for the game to COM
mcnce arrived the whole city was on the
tiptoe of expectation. No one thought
Of anything else but the result Of the
game, and all during the play the Dis
patch telephone was kept ringing by per-
sons who did not go TO the grounds.
but wanted to know the progress Of the
play.
With many Of the staidest citizens the
programme OF the day was as follows:
Church in the morning, an early but
bountiful dinner. with turkey in the
title role. and the football game In
the afternoon
The usual Thanksgiving services were
held In the Episcopal church, and below
viii be found reports OF the special ser
vices held by other denominations.
