DISCUSSES MR.. ROBERTS.
Utah's Representative Referred to by
DR.. ParsOn.


At the Church Of the Reformation Rev.
w. f. Parson preached a sermon on causes
for thanksgiving. He was assisted by Rev.
j. c. Bowers, the pastor of St Mark s
Church, who read the scriptures and the
Presidents proclamation.
The choir gave several Thanksgiving an
thems, under the leadership Of Mr. Eugene
Stevens.
in the course of his sermon DR.. Parson
referred to the subject now under discus
sion in all crcles-the representatiVe-elect
IRON ttah to the House of Representa-
tives- He said:
The people still have a conscience. The
universal expression of opinion against the
presence Of lawmaker in Congress who
is a lawbreaker is a healthy sign.
Some one may ask: Is not every man
who will sit in the next Congress to some
degree imperfect? Are not some of Mr.
Roberts, colleagues guilty of worse things
than pOlygamy?
But the difference is here: The man who
Is guilty of worse than having three wives
In mis- manner of treating one is hiding him.
self He must hide himself Society will
make him ashamed of himself. Society has
Its code and will not tolerate any other
manner of life openly. The community has
Its law and will not allow open infraction
of it.
"All this is healthy; but our friend from
Utah is not giving any sign of shame,
yet, though the combined adverse opinion
of so many thousands ought to cause the
first low beginnings of shame.
Now is the time to put the seal of disap-
prevail upon the whole transaction. 1t Will
be wholesome, and a cause for thanksgiv-
ing when concluded"

TWO FINE SPECIMENS
OF PHYSICAL MANHOOD.

No form OF athletic exercise demands such per-
feet physical condition prize fghting Every
muscle in the body be fully developed and
supple and the heart, lungs and stomach must
act to perfection.
Whether We indorsc prize fighting or not, 1t is
nevertheless interesting TO know the manner by
which men arrive such physical perfection.
James Jefries, the present champion heavy
weight of the world and his gallant opponent
Tom Sharkey, In the greatest pugilistic encounter
that has ever taken place, both pursued much the
same course of training, and the first and most
important part of this training was TO get the
stomach in condition, and TO keep the digestion
absolutely perfect, that every muscle and nerve
would be at its highest capabilities.
This was not done by secret patent medicine,
but both Of these great pugllsts used we'll
| known natural digestive tablet sold by druggists
under name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
composed Of the digestive ferments which every
stomach requires for healthy digestion.
Champion Jefrries says: 'Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets prevent acdity. strengthen the stomach
and insure perfect digestion They keep man
In fine physical condition" Signed james j. JEFF
fries, champion of the world.
The gallant fighter, Sharkey, says: Stuart 8
Dyspepsia Tablets all discomfort after
Ing They rest the stomach and restore it to a
healthful condition / heartily recommend them. -
Signed Thos. ]. Sharkey.
The advantage Of the daily use Of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets is that they keep people well and
ward on sickness and equally valuable TO we'll
persons as to the dyspeptics Another advantage
is that these tablets contain no cathartcs poi
SONS OF any character, but simply digestive fer
ments which are found in every healthy stomach,
and when digestion is imperfect it is because the
stomach lacks some Of these elements, and Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets supply it.
They are no cheap cathartic, but perfectly
safe and efficient digestive and the demand for
them Is greater than the sale Of all other So
called dyspepsia cures combined. No remedy could
possibly reach such place in public esteem ex-
cept as the result Of positive merit.
Fuii-sized packages sold by all druggists at
90 cents and the best habit you possibly form
Is to take Stuart Tablet after each meal. They
make weak stomachs strong and keep strong stom-
aGhs vigorous. po27&8O

| pied seats on the pulpit platform and took
| part In the preliminary services Rev Dr.
Greene pastor of the church was in charge
| and the musical selections were rendered

DR.. Sven read the Presidents proclama-

j. J. Muir, the pastor of the + Street Ban
tation of of the causes which the
American people have for Thanksgiving He
selected as the text the first verse of the
44th Psalm: I'VE have heard with our ears
Q God; our fathers have told us what
works Thou didst in their days, in the
times of old
In a series of graphic word pictures the
speaker reviewed some of the events in
the centuries past as such review he con-
tended was for the instruction of the pres
ent as well as inspiration for the future
He laid emphasis on the religious uses of
history and then spoke with special refer
ence to the events that marked the close
of the present century. He said that it
was cause for Thanksgiving that history
reveals to us a divine plan. He referred to
the emerging of this nation as a world
power and said while some would like to
see the United States shrink back from the
greatness that has been thrust upon her II
would be well, he thought, to recognize
the hand of God that has been guiding this
nation. God, he said, has been determining
the bounds of our habitation
Another cause of thankfulness, he
thought, the growing unitication of
mankind. He spoke of the lesson in hui
mainly taught by this nation in its recent
work in freeing Cuba from the misrule and
tyranny of Spain He said that one result
of the Spanish-American war has been the
binding together of our people under our
institutions. He believed that the time was
near at hand when war would cease entire
ly. Another cause of thanksgiving was
pointed out by the speaker as being the
widening influence of Christianity
The offering of the morning was for the
Baptist Home for Old Ladies'.
DR.. Newman on National Affairs.
The services at the First Congregational
Church this morning were largely attend

the church, Rev. DR.. Newman, officiated
and delivered an address In the course of
his remarks DR.. Newman discussed some
phases of national affairs and point ed out
that the widening of our influence as a
nation, which had been brought about by
recent events, had increased our RESPONSE
bllities, and that in the discharge of our
duty as a nation should look to God
more and more for help and guidance

THANKSGIVING MORN


troubles and disappointments are working
together for future good in this world or
in the one to come
The sermon was in the nature of an essay
on pessimism and optimism. from which
many interesting and convincing conclu-
Sions We're drawn and presented in a force
full manner While the pessimist. he said,
sees the dark side and prophesies evil, the
optimist sees the bright side and prophesies
good, yet the latter knows no more of the
mysteries of his being than the former.
The optfmist, Bishop Satterlee declared, is
usually right, for good comes eventually
in some way. He referred to Pauls say
ing in that all things are working together
for good to them who love God.
Bishop Satterlee said he realized full well
the difficulty of always looking at the
bright side, but Christians must lead a
dlfhcult life. With perseverance a success
Will come that will eclipse the anticipations

REV. McLEOD'S DISCOURSE.
He Speaks of the Wide Expnnse OF
Our Territory.

He Speaks of the Wide Expnnse OF
| Our Territory.
| Rev. Donald Mcleod. lately chosen pas
| tor of the First Presbyterian Church as the
! successor of DIR. Talmage, took as his text
! two passages of Scripture-Jonah, 80, and
| Ephesiass, go. He said:
| sometimes a thanksgiving service is
given to reviewing the evils of the past
! year, instead of devoting it to thanksgiv-
ing and praise to God for the innumerab BILE
ana lnestimable blessings that in His in
Unite grace and mercy He has freely be-
slowed. Such a service as this defeats the
high and holy end for which such a day
was appointed. While there are many and
grievous evils in the land. this ought not to
hinder us from giving this day and many
more besides to a happy service of thanks
giving to God that is unalloyed with the
memory of our mseries and failngs"
The speaker next referred to the plentiful
crops, TO the absence of famine and diSas-
ter, to the multitude of blessings upon the
land, and said: We want to thank God
inns day because ours is a priceless do
main. Continuing, he said
