The hen house has vacant nest,
And turkeys cries are heard,


The hen house has vacant nest,
And turkeys cries are heard,
AS they stroll around in mournful quest
For that lost Thanksgiving bird.
Last Sunday morning Rev. David Jamison,
pastor of the Grove Presbyterian Church
preached an interesting sermon to the Junior
Order of United American Mechanics from
Jeremiah 18th chapter. s, 8 and 10 verses; TAX
ing as his theme, The ancient sons of iona
dab, as pattern for your modern Ordern
Mr.. Jamison said in substance that s'the cry
is for more practical religion; Church going
and neglect of the widow and orphan do not
harmonize; and yet the church's peculiar work
is the saving of the soul and The redemption
of lost world A division OF labor is neces-
sary in order that nothing may be missed in
the whole round of human duty Your Order
emphasizes Americanism with charity
towards all and malice towards none
You are permeated and actuated by
the grand idea that American cities and Amer
lean towns, and American business and Amer
lean literature, and American morality, and
American religion shall continue to show the
true American type" He further brought
out some tenets of the ancient sons of Jonadab
showing that no wine for young men especial
ly, and living more simple kind of life by
all, would be greatly helpfulin bringing about
better times. Mr.. Jamison closed his sermon
with beautiful description of sunset, to il
lustrate the point that man, though he is just
a pilgrim, soon ends his day in this present
world, is to begin it afresh in Gods other
world, just as the great sun, after having
sunk down in its golden bed in the western
sky, is TO rise again reinvigorated, as it were,
for another daily circuit, carrying along with
it heating and illuminating power.
