In the possibility that a polygamist
may have a seat in our national con-
gress. Let us live righteously as
nation, then may we be glad and re-
Joice. The sinful and selfish use of
Christian holidays is not an occasion
OF rejoicing. How much sin is
crowded into one day like this when it
ought to be filled with worship and sin
cere thanks. Are we all as thought
full to do good on a day like this as we
ought to be?, There is no occasion for
rejoicing in the fact that it takes all
the Protestant churches of Worcester
to sustain four Thanksgiving services
on this day. We are doubling things
up in our churches until there won't
be anything to double up after while
Every Protestant church in this city
ought to hold Thanksgiving service
of it's own on this day. We are on the
wrong track and are injuring our
churches by this doubling up pro-
cess"
DR.. King then spoke of the benefits
and obligations of gladness. The ben
efits are along all lines, physical, men
tai, moral, spiritual and social An
indiscriminate pessimist is as much a
failure as an indiscriminate optimist
Our obligation to be cheerful and
happy and grateful is to ourselves, our
families, our friends and to God. Our
anthropomorphism has no doubt some
times reduced God to the level of de-
grading idolatry, but on the other hand,
our philosophical and scientific and re-
ligious abstre ctions have put God so
far away as to be out of all touch, SYM
pathy with the world. 1t cost God
something to create the world, and it
costs him something to sustain it.

in unison. DIR. Alexander II. Vinton

REV. Or. c. w. KING
Speaks on the Benefits and Obliga-
tons of Gladness.

The union Thanksgiving service of
the Methodist churches was held yes
terday morning at Grace M. E. church.
Rev. DR.. James Boyd Brady an
nounced a hymn and read the Scrip
lures. Following prayer, the choir sang
an anthem. A collection was taken
for the benefit of the poor. Rev. b.
F. Kingsley of the Webster Square M.
E. church read hymn, and then the
morning sermon was preached by Rev.
DR., George w. King. The subject was,
THE right of rejoicing" The text was
from Nehemiah, viii:9.
After a review of the circumstances
surrounding the text, DR.. King said:
ITO whom does the right of rejoicing
belong? 1t belongs to the sinner when
he repents of his sins. While any man
is indulging in his sins, the proper thing
for him is sackcloth and ashes. While
a man cherishes any wrong feeling to-
ward another, while there is any I'M
forgiving wrong and injury between
one man ana another, the occasion is
to right the wrong, and repent of the
sin. After repentance, then rejoice.
THE right of rejoicing is to the
church, when it has overcome the
world. While the church is worldly
and full of the weakness of unbeIief
there is nothing to rejoice in. Purge
out the weak things in the church and
there will be then ground for reioic-
ing.
1.-THE right of rejoicing belongs to the
nation, when 1t is acting according to
the laws of God and righteousness
There is nothing to rejoice over In the
fact that it costs New York S120 0oo ooo
a year to support its saloons and g..
100000 to support its churches.
There is nothing to be thankful for
