CALLS TO THANKSGIVING.
Need of Deliberate Exercise In the
Grace of Gratefulncss.

Grace of Gratefulncss.
In our relation TO God, the spirit of
thankfulness is not dependent on con-
ditions of material prosperity or of
freedom from trial. For whatever may
be our immediate experiences, God Is
always the Good. His goodness Is as
manifest 10 the discerning eye in the
discipline of sorrow and pain as In
afluence of pleasures and possessions.
The call 20 thanksgiving is n call TO
earnest reflection on Gods constant re-
lation TO us, and wider and deeper APP
probation OF his unfailing goodness.
BY thankfulness the soul is greatened
in capacity of moral insight and feeling.
AS one grows in faith by trusting, and
In love by loving, so he grows in thank
fulness by the exercise Of his soul An
grateful thoughts and emotions. 1T Is
good TO give thanks unto the Lord"
An unthanlxful soul is weak In the
noblest virtues, because IL is deficient
in perception and appreciation of the
highest moral excellence.
Special seasons for Thanksgiving are
justified by our need of deliberate ex-
ercise in this grace Of gratefulness, and
their best result is broadened capacity
20 appreciate the Divine nature and will
and TO appropriate the real and endur-
ing good Of life.-N. Y. Independent.

MAKING A NEW WORLD.
The Character OF the Man Makes His
Surroundings What They Are.


Character is like a seal, unto which
the whole world is wax lit puts its
own image upon whatever IL touches.
Ears hear what they bring the
spirit 10 hear; ito the pure oil
things are pure" Eyes see that
which Is possible 10 the soul that
looks out through them. Some one has
said: "To Newton and 70 Newton's dog
the same, and yet what q different pair
OF uniyersesl" So IL is that the heart
finds all the world It's mirror, In which
1t Is constantly seeing itself. Cheer
fulness carries n sun of it's own with II,
which lightens the darkest places.
Pleasantness OF word and dealing, like
iron rollers, gather up n mass OF sharp
bits and unsightly fragments, and press
them into most unexpectedly useful and
beautiful shapes. This Is how IL Ia that
training and culture and character
building are more than educative; they
are creative. They make n new world.
A man goes on from glory unto glory,
not by getting into new places, but
by becoming n new man. For us the
Heavens and the earth are become new,
when we are become new creatures. III
things are not what we want them TO be,
let us make them something else by
becoming something else. We pray that
God will grant US this thing or that
thing; our prayers could be ofteneI
answered IL we looked for strength 70
become this or that kind of a man.

Perhaps the best proof of the advance
of the japanese In civilization is to be
found in their use of pockets. The peo-
pie of that country have usually six
or eight pockets cunnlngly inserted In
the cuffs OF their wide sleeves. These
pockets are always filed with n curl
GUS miscellany. As common as the
Irvine in the pockets of young Amer
leans Is the prayer amulet written on
sheets of rice paper and composed by
the BONES. In accordance with their
faith, these amulets are swallowed like
n pill In cases of mental or physical
distress. Another essential seldom
missing Is number OF small squares
Of silky paper. These are put TO un-
expected uses, such as TO hold the stem
OF lily or lotus, 10 dry teacup or
10 wipe away n tear. Among the Chi
nese and other nations pouch Is used
instead OF pocket. This was also the
case In western Europe In the middle
ages and for some time afterward. The

OF the time Of Henry VIII. wrote:

| BY your leave he never left me penny.
Brooches, however, had pockets mt an
early date. In an old play written about
1911 Il Is mentioned that a man had
his breaches plated as II they had 30
pockets. But pockets did not attain
their proper position until the adop-
ton OF the modern style Of mems gar

deep, and were covered with embroid'

cDr.T RPTTAJy AND TURKEY.

One Of the most persistent delusions or the
day Is the notion that Great Britain mas peeh
and is compelled to be the friend ana supporter
of Turkey in order to avoid OFFENDING her Nh
hometon subjects in India, and that II shc
should use any harsh measures toward lurke!
her Indian Empire would at once be imperllled
by n revolt greater than the Sepoy Mutlny.
| This theory has been preached In Parliament
and enlarged upon In the press. But there IS
nothing in It. Its fallacy has been repeatedly
exposed 1t is amply refuted by the we'll
known fact that the present Sultan, not being
direct descendant of the Prophet. is not nc-
copied as the legitimate Caliph of Islam by
half tbe Mahometan world Indeed. he is thus
accented by very few outside. and by not nearly
all inside his own dominions. lie Is regarded
with great respect as the temporal sovereign
of the most important Mahomctan state pu'
that is ALL He is nor regarded as the spiritual
head Of Islam. and war against MN Wo"io
not be regarded as n war against that 1ai'h.
Additional confirmation Of this fact Is onered
by "rhe Saturday Review" in reminder OF
the form of prayer used in mosques on Fridays
There Is no prayer for the Sultan. OutSld" OF
the Ottoman Empire. but for the present ruler
of this State" In India that means the En-
press In Independent Mahometan states. such
as Morocco and Persia. the name Of the sOvcr-
eign is inserted in the prayer But nowhere
outside Of Turkey Is the name OF the sultan
used
II has. moreover. been ascertained that the
Mahomctans Of India are quite Indifferent
toward the fate Of Turkey. In 1877 The Niceroy.
Lord Lytton. was afraid to publish mt Calcutta
the British proclamation of neutrality between
Russia and Turkey. lest it should rouse discon'
tent and revolt among the MahOmetans. But
his Foreign Secretary. who knew India far bet
ter than he, assured him it would have no such
effect The latter view was presently proved
to be right for the Governor of Bombay pub
lished the proclamation on his own responsible
ity, and the Mahometans paid no more attel-
ton to it than as though it had been the Popes
hull against the comet. The fact Is, Englands
original idea in champiOning the Turk was to
protect her own overland road to India and TO
check the pretensions of Russia. Those reasons
no longer have the slightest force, and the Brit
ish Government has officially confessed
them always 10 have been mistaken. There is.
therefore, no reason why Great Britain should
be guided. in dealing with the Turkish problem,
by any other motives than those of justice and
humanity. fact which the present Govern
ment now seems to recognize.
