St. Louis Christian Advocate: News
comes from Hong Kong tina: the Vari'
III religious orders 10 the Philippines
are Masking arrangements 10 sell their
PROPERTY IN the Islands to q British
syndicate which has been formed for
the purpose Of acquiring, holding and
imposing the enormous estates belong
to the friars. The incident is believed
to emphasize The conviction prevailing
in Spain and the Philippines that the
islands are completely lost, and Gs
under The government Of the United
States. no union between church aud
state will be tolerated, the trisrs are
attempting 10 make the best Of the
situation and soil their property while
a sale is still possible. BVer since the
discovery OF the islands the religious
orders have been increasing their hold.
iDgs, and 1t is stated by those who clam,
to know whereof they affirm, that a.
present nearly three-fourths Of thu
arabic lands in the Philippines are held
by the orders, which rent 10 the natives
and hold their tenants IN a condition
not differing greatly from that Of
slaves. 1t vas The oppression by the
friars that brought on the rebellion of
two years ago and which has placed
the entire Philippine population 10
opposition to the Spanish government.
The policy Of the Roman religious
orders is best seen In an instance ike
this, where, 10 a country far removed
from the influences Of any other power
than Spain, the religious orders have
fattened upon the labor Of the people,
and under the names Of tithes and taxes
have ground them into the earth SO
that armed rebellion was their only
chance Of relief.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
STATE OF MISSOURI,
CtTy or .JrREEps0y


The year 1898 will be always mem
orable in the annals Of our Republic.
IN all departments Of the social life,
and In all the pursuits and n Of
private enterprise, there are abound
ing tokens Of the divine favor and
blessing. Our own, in common with
sister states, has largely shared in the
bounties OF nature which have marked
the year. In the development Of our
resources there has been rapid and un-
interrupted progress. We have not
lacked any good thing Of field, Of
orchard, OF flock, Of herd or Of mine.
Neither flood nor drought has inter-
fered 10 destroy the expectation Of
abundant h~arvests. In our social and
industrial affairs there have been no
disturbances to arrest the steady adj
vance Of trade. Our borders have been
exempt from pestilence. Our churches
and schools have multiplied with the
expanding population. The homes Of
our people have been increasingly en-
riched with material prosperity, and
the higher blessings Of a refined civIli-
zation. .'The hand Of our God has
been upon us for good"
With our sister commonwealth, VIC
share IN the increasing glory Of a
nation distinguished in all its history
as the child and favorite OF Providence,
and conspicuous among the peoples Of
the earth as the exponent and advo-
cate Of civil and religious liberty. A
most righteous and chivalrous wal has
been waged during the year in behalf
Of an oppressed people and carried for
ward to q swift and noble triumph.
Signal victories, with small loss Of life,
have been won on land and sea. Deeds
OF valor have been wrought unsur-
passed 10 human history. The heart
Of our youth has shown itself sound
and true to the aims and purposes Of
our national life. The spirit Of patriot
ism, Of high endeavor and of heroic
sacrifice, which laid the foundations Of
the Republic, is still mighty within Il.
The success that followed the opera
tons OF the war has permanently
affected the spirit Of the nation BY
deepening Its confidence and faith 10
the national ideals and institutions,
and incidentally %elevatlng the national
prestige.
The largest blessing Of the year,
doubtless, has come 10 us through our
quickened sympaihies. Hearts toe long
estranged have bounded together al
the bugle call, into a nobler brother
hood and into loftier endeavor. "This,
also, cometh down from the Lord Of
Hosts, wonderful in counsel and excel
lent In working" Il is meet and
proper that a Christian commonwealth,
40 largely participating in the rich
blessing and noble service Of the year,
should IN some public and becoming
manner recognize the majesty, power
and glory Of the Lord God Almighty,
from whom alone "cometh every good
aud perfect gift"
20 God Of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget"
Therefore, | proclaim
