presupposes a personal God. who can
hear and answer prayer. How prayer
is answered, whether in accordance
with natural law, or by special divine
interference, or by the subjective eff
feet upon the petitioner, or IN some oth-
er way, Is irrelevant. The point IS.
Thanksgiving presupposes prayer
which may be answered.
In essence then, Thanksgiving Is the
correlarF OF prayer.
But the Christian has nc exclusive
monopoly OF Thanksgiving Day, for the
Observance OF the day, may involve no
more than an official recognition OF our
dependence on God.
A man may or may not believe In spe-

none S % poor, or distressed as not 90

For this reason, THANKSGIVING Day

SOMETHING NEW
In the Observance OF Thanksgiving at
St Matthews Church.

In the Observance OF Thanksgiving at
St Matthews Church.
Rev. n. S. Thomas. rector OF ST. Mat
thew's p, +, church, has started a pleas
ing Innovation in the observance of
Thanksgiving day. SO far as it relates TO
the church services, and which will be
apparent % all the w~orshlppers who
gather within tine edifce for this morn
!ng's service, which begins at 1880
o'clock. Recently he conferred with the
ladies OF the church relative to a distri-
button on Thanksgiving, of the staples
OF life to the poor. and the articles 10 be
distributed have been used 10 tastefully
decorate the church for this morning
service.
While not as much Of the staples as de-
sired have been donated, yet the arrange
ment from an artistic point OF view is
picturesque. The products OF the field
are neatly placed about the altar and to
each side OF It The communion table ie
in the centre OF an artistic display OF
small sheaves Of wheat, varied by green
punches OF grapes. and to either side are
small shocks Of golden corn. Corn ls
also set forth j~udicIously in front of the
choir stalls. The principal themes of
decoration have been the pulpit, the
reading desk and the face OF the organ
e a the latter piece Of furniture. At all
these points there Is a pleasing and var
led display Of color in the pumpkins, cab
bages, onions, corn, rldishes, carrots,
cranbefries, celery, sqpashes. etc y
pyramid Of these field products is happy
in its conception. Tall palms lend their
green In graceful %profusion.
The SCHEME Is in imitation OF an old
English custom. and is novel to Wheel
Ing. 1t promises to he repeated in COM
Ing years with more success.

Hon. G, W, atkinson
Governor Of west virginia.

In a Christian country. our annual
Thanksgiving Day should be universally
observed. Its recognition grows with
the passing OF years. There will come a
time when It will be as thoroughly recog-
nized as christmas-the greatest event
of all the years. There are compare
lively but few agnostics in our country.
The great bulk OF Americans accept AL
mighty God as divine, and the Bible as
His Inspired Word. The majority OF
them. It is true. profess an intellectual
belief or faith only; but there are mill
fons who have gone further, and have
carried this acceptance or faith into the
spiritual realm. They not only believe
with che head, but with the heart also.
Both OF these classes join heartily in a
general observance or recognition of the
Presidents call for thanksgiving and
praise on the fourth Thursday of No
vember. every year.
During 1897 peace and plenty have pre-
vailed throughout all our borders. These
carry with them satisfaction and con-
tentment, and IF We are thoughtful, we
cannot be otherwise than grateful.
Thou crownest the year with thy good
ness and thy paths drop fairness. The
hills are glrted with JOY; the pastures are
clothed with focks;u the valleys also are
crowned over with corn; they shout for
Joy; they also sing" The year is closing
happily, and the century is rolling out
grandly. While It may be true that all
OF us have not been strolhng through
green pastures. yet 1t Is a fact that good
ness and mercy have followed US all the
days of our lives. Many OF US see
through a glass darkly." but all should
hope some day for brighter visions. when
they shall "see face TO face" All of US
with grateful hearts should devoutly
praise "the giver of all good and perfect
gifts for what We have and are. and
take courage for the future. II we are
all true men and women, the sun of
Righteousness and peace win ever shine
upon our pathways

Almighty God "for the fruits Of the
earth and all the other blessings OF His
mercIful providence" The tendency, I
fear. Is 70 forget or ignore this side OF
this day, God seems 10 be left out OF
account and the day 10 given over en-
trely in too many cases, to feastlng, II
not dissipation. A proper observance
would restrain the latter tendency and
help TO make the occasion a real FEAST
day and hence, l believe, every house OF
worship ought 10 be opened on this day
and every member OF the church ought
TO go and should bring others who are
not members 10 the worship Of Almighty
God.
Then the beauties OF the great nation
al Thanksgiving would appear In our
community, family, and Individual life,
and each could sing Is revereptly and
joyously as did the Quaker poet in the
following lines;
and present gratitude
Cleanses the future good.
And for the things I see
trust the things TO be;
That In the paths untrod,
And the long days OF God,
My feet shall still be led,
Ny heart be comiorted.
I feel the earth move sunward.

And take, by faith, while living,
