Thank God for the glorious gift OF life.
And this beautiful world OF ours,
With its shimmering seas. and wavinl
trees.
It's frost. and dew and flowers;
For radiant moons and tranquil Junos.
For sunshine and for rain:
For pearly dawns and crystal morns,
For mountain. mead and plain.
Thank God for treasures that He gives
From earth and tree and vine;
For golden yields from fertile fields.
For flax and wool and vino;
For hcalthful roots: for rudy fruits:
For Pienty's laden horn:
For nocks and herds, for bees and birds.
Give thanks this festive morn
Give thanks for reunited bands.
For hearth and home and health;
For faith and love. so sure TO prove
Swoeter than fame or wealth:
For hopes that bless, for lips caress.
For counsel and for cheer.
Give thanks upon this morn that brings
The feast OF all the year.
Good Housekeeping.

Story of uncomplHining Fcrtifude, spie-u

In what penury, what hardship, what

The story OF the Plymouth colony can
never be too often recalled by Amer
leans. For accomplishing fortitudo.
for sturdy endurance, for strength
that knew no fnltering. for splendid
faith and undaunted heroism, that
story has no equal on the page of his
tory. Many delicate women died In
those first years, but we never read
that they weakened In courage while
they lived. Theirs was the underlying
might Of a purpose which had it's root
In principles; and. whoever may cele-
brate the Pilgrim Fathers. women
should forever keep green the memory
of the heroic Pilgrim Mothers.
We like TO think of the groups which
assembled at those Puritan dinner
tables in those far-awny days. The
harvestswere reapcd; the churches and
the school-houses were built; the chill
dren were brought up in the fear Of
God. In the cold meeting on
the top OF the nearest hill there had
been long service. prayers. psalms.
sermons, oil of n generous prodigality
of time TO which we In our religious
services of to-day are strangers. Then
came the unbending, the lavish dinner,
the frolic of the little ones, the talk be-
side the fire. when the parents drew
upon the "reminiscences of fair Eng
land. or Of Holland by the sea.
Many trothplight was spoken in
tho twilight OF Thanksgiving day.
Youths and maidcns then, as youths
and maidens still, met and fell In love.
The beautiful story which never grows
old wns told by the ardent sutton to
the blushing girl in the Puritan home,
as in our households yet.
Long was the good mans sermon.
But It seemed not 30 20 me.

After all. the world changes little In
essentials as time passes. The girl
will wear her blue or her orange few

dor TO the court of St. James, tor high

grounds advanced III the resolution
were the utterances of MIR. Bayard,
delivered before this Edenburg, Scot

His utterances were in serious &isrc-
gard of his Obligations to this govern
ment and calculated to injure our
National reputation. 1t concluded by
inslructing the foreign affairs COM
mittee, which was empowered to send
for persons and papers, to investigate
and report "by impeachment or other

Speaker Reed overruled his point
of order and the resolution was thrown
into lhe arena of debate, where it re-
manned for three hours.
The republicans took the position
that Mr., Bayard's speech constituted
M o1ense against the country that
called Tor stern robuke, ii not recall.
The democrats took the position
that Mr.. Bayard's utterances did not
by any stretch of the inauguration
constitute ground for impeachment.
The discussion lasted several hours

moved to strike out the words by i'm
parchment or otherwise and his mo-
ton was agreed to. AS amended the
resolution was adopted without a
