Thanksgiving Observance at
the National Capitol.

1t was day of prayer and feast
Never before was the day 50 devoted
to the hearty rendering of thanks in
the churches as there was this year
| think the hard times of the pas,
four years have brought to the Amer
ican peop some consideration of a
God, and the National Capital is
not exempt from the law of fate
that makes every city the home of
hundreds of the poor and needy, as
we'll as the rich and fortunate, but it
seems that the generosity of the local
charitable organizations done all
they could to make the day bright
one. even the churches took decided
steps in that direction. l thought
it was timely for. the unfortunate
poor of this city are hard sinners
and they are greatly sinned against.
We attended Thanksgiving at the
Metropolitan A. M. E. church, the
Rev. DR.. Johnson, the pastor,
preached from the 146th psalm, 1st,
I'd and sd verses. After telling of
the fitness of a National Thanksgiv-
ing he discussed three great princi-
piles; namely, justice, liberty and
charity as christian elements that
must be manifest in the life and ac-
tions of a christian nation. Dr..
Johnson is a strong man.
We have just received a letter
from our friend J. w. Thompson, of
