The Right Rev. ]. D. Morrison D. D.,
bishop of Duluth and North Dakota
Temporarily paid special visit t. this
district last week and preached on Sun
day morning at the choral celebration Of
the Holy Eucharist in Grace church,
Pembina, taking as his texts the words
whatsoever things were written afore-
time were written for our learning, that
we through patience and comfort of the
scripture might haye hope" The Bis
hop pointed out how that the English
language is now used by one-fourth of
the inhabitants of the globe and is des-
tined to become the universal language
and means for the conversion of the
world is the English bible, the great
classic which is unique in being the only
book translated from foreign languages,
which appeals so closely to the hearts of
men. And all denominations of English
speaking Christians throughout the
world have received it from and owe to
the old church of England, whose bis
hops and clergy from age to age, have
translated and revised it until the Eng
lish bible of the Episcopal church has
come to us in its present form. The
service was rendered in the way that is
characteristic of the Episcopal church.
The singing and music led by the choir
and organist Mrs. Russell Aylen being
all that could be desired.

SERMON AT CHRIST CHURCH.
Rev. A. j. Graham TaIIXsd on ''ThanI1s-
giving rs a Home Festival"


giving as a Home Festival"
Rev. A. j. Graham preached at Christ
Church yesterday morning on the subject,
Thanksgiving as a Home Festival" Mr.
Graham spoke first of the element prevail
ing most in the sermons of the day, the vic
tory of the United States in the Spanish
American war. He then dismissed the sub
ject with the thought that while it seems to
US that there is destiny in this war, and
that it involves larger idea than any indi-
vidual or nation can grasp at present. yet
the ultimate ortcome is too uncertain for it
to become the subject of any special thanks
giving, and it is likely that the peace
monuments and festivals have been a little
premature.
TT seems strange" said Mr.. Graham,
that the Thanksgiving idea has departed
from its original conception. 1t was at first
day set apart for returning thanks at the
gathering of the harvest, but it comes so
late with us that any special reference to
harvest seems irrelevant. But we are safe
in saying that the primal idea to be en-
phasized upon Thanksgiving day is that it is
distinctively the home festival. This brings
us face to face with the great thought-the
Importance of the home as the center from
which all life truly radiates and toward
which it should return 1t is important to
emphasize constantly that family, not in
dividual is the element that makes up man
kind and works out civilization"
Mr. Graham also spoke of what the home
ought to be. 1T is almost impossible he
said. ''for any home to remain absolutely
proof against all the destructive forces
which confront it. In the very economic
and work-saving system of sending our
children to the public schools there is one
phase of that manifold influence which
tends to weaken family bonds by making
its members Independent one of another.
Even the Sunday school is a curse IN a GER
tain sense, for 1t appears to excuse the
parent from those moral and religious bonds
of conference which are fundamental and
lasting. Club life is an element which mill
tates against the home idea. The club
which provides an abode and goes there for
its amusement and pleasure may have
lawful place. but it is rapidly usurping the
rights of the home.
1.-THE home idea is at the foundation of
religion and morality. If parents were more
profoundly impressed with the awful re-
sponsibility of paternity they would feel as
Margaret Fuller felt. who on giving birth
to her child exclaimed % God. Thou hast
made me the mother of a new mortal For
veal or woe, this chids life is linked to
mine The lonely man knew well the truth
when he wrote. BE it ever humble,
there's no place like home If Thanksgiv-
ing with its happy homes and generous re-
value Of its lessons it would be better for
us all. We can a least get this much from
the passing of the dav-a resolve that we
will make a greater effort to emphasize the
home idea and home resources in our own
homes and in the community at large.

WHY WE OWE GRATITUDE
VIEWS TAKEN IN LOCAL THANKS
GIVING-DAY SERMONS.
Rev. Mr.. QuayIe Shows This Nation
Is Providence ItseIf-Other
Union Services.

Rev. w. A. Quayle, of the Meridian-street
NJ. E. Church. preached to the Methodists
! of several of the citys congregations in the
Roberts Park Church yesterday morning
His text was, He Had Not Dealt So with
Any Nation and he announced his subject
az THE United States of America a Provi-
dence." The sermon was an effort to show
the presence of God in all the events of our
countrys history. and at the same time
to prove that this people is a providence
to the human race.
There was a providence first, said the
speaker, in the discovery of this country.
The pent-up energies of the revival of
civilization were poured into it. The best
people in the world here found a place for
the practice of their religion. Hence the
United States became a religious nation.
1t was providence that the Anglo-SaXon
became the ruling factor in our civilization,
for by nature he is the ruler of the world.
There was providence in our wars, in the
expansion of our territory, in the greatness
of our leaders The Spanish war has
taught us to know our own strength, it has
shown that the American soldier is the best
in the world "The war has opened our
eyes said DR.. Quayle, land we know that
the earth belongs to us-if not so much in
prlnclpaliues, at least In moral and intel
lectual dominion"
DR.. Quayle had few words of praise for
the President. He said: I'VE have had
three great crises. For the revolution, when
this country struggling for existence,
God gave US the serene Washington. For
the civil war, when men were fighting for
their own individual liberty, we had the
mighty Lincoln. But no less certainly, l
believe, has God given to us in this later
hOur-McKinley. When the surging pas
sions of n nation cried Onward he had the
strength to say Not yet / have wondered
If ever before in history one man has with
stood the passion of seventy-four million
people,"
The minister closed his sermon with a
recital of a few of the things which the
war has done for the Nation. He said: 1T
has made US united people as we have not
been since the revolution. The men who
once wore the gray fought bravely for the
blue. 1t has shown that Republican govern
ment has power to rule the earth. IT has
shown the power of the middle classes. Men
unheard of sprang into greatness. 1t has
been said. War is Gods chance for the
common man. The history of the war is
what our hearts said. When the first can
non were heard, with blanched faces and
fast-beating hearts we listened and thought
they cried war war, war Then again the
laundering of the cannon came to us and
we thought it said, victory, victory, vic
tory But at the last we find that the can
mons roar is saying. God. God, God

Washington Special in Chicago Post.
The President has completed his message
and it is in type. with the plates locked up

THE SECOND HALF.

During the intermission the spectators
stirred about to create warmth. and dis
cussed the game. The expressions were
all satisfactory TO the Indianapolis players
and it was decided that the Detroit boys
were good fellows" When the second
half opened it seemed that the home play
ers had determined they would rush
through to goal, and the fight began in
earnest Bamford kicked off for Detroit,
and the ball spun twenty-five yards. Holli-
dav returned it for ten yards Dearborn
took the ball and began fierce rushes
through the Detroit lines. Though he was
downed time after time, 1t was not until
after he had made large gains. and it
seemed that his steam was all-powerful.
When within twenty-five yards of the De-
troit goal the ball and the confidence of
the team was put into Pattisons hands,
as it was felt that the climax of the game
was at hand Pattison rushed forward.
guarded by smithey and Scott. smithey
grasped Pattsons arm and dragged him
through the graphing of the Detroit men.
IT was rush for twenty yards, and when
it ended the spectators rose up and cheered
nightly. Dearborn again showed his
power in terrific plunge forward. Moore
got the ball on tumble. and made a dag
onal run of fifteen yards and landed the
ball just behind the goal line at the north
est corner of the field. II was realized
that there were but few minutes left for
end, especially as Scott failed in kicking
out from goal. The ball was returned to
the center of the field and remained there
abouts until the timekeepers called that the
twenty-five minutes had expired. The play
ers diVed under the track and the specta-
tors slapping their hands against their
sides made for the street cars. The lineup
of the two teams was as follows:
