| GENERAL OBSERVAN

1HdnkSBlVlnS tnlS year Will DE observer
| in Washington especially with more than
the ordinary attention The principal rea-
son for this is that people feel that they
have something out of the ordinary to be
thankful for this year. The church papers
have devoted large amount of space to a
discussion Of the Presidents Thanksgiving
message, and in consequence the audiences
in the local churches tomorrow are ex-
pected to be larger than the usual run.
Another noticeable feature Is that number
of the services will begin at 1870 o'clock
| am, half hour earlier than usual The
reason for this is that the IL o'clock ser
vice interferes with the MONDAY dinner
and does not give sufficient time for per-
son to get good seat at the foot ball
game. Bishop Satterlee, it is said, takes
this view of the matter, and he asked that
the services at Trinity Church. where he
Will preach, take place at 1O:3O clock a. M,
instead Of the usual hour of IL o'clock.
The services at the Young Mems Chris
tan Association are to commence at
