In this Christian land. so highly fa-
fored of God. and in grateful reeogni-
tion of His goodness to us as a peo-
ple-the precedent has been wisely set
by those in civil authority of summon
ing the whole people to gather in their
respective places Of worship to ''praise
the Lord for his goodness and declare
fhe wonders that he doeth for the
children Of men, and asa necessary part
Of all true thanksgfying-to remember
the poor and the friendless. Hundreds
Of little orphans are gathered and cared
for in our various orphanages. They
are dependent upon the free will offer
ings Of the public for their maintenance
their food, clothing, shelter and ed
ucation. They are to grow up and take
their places in the world for good or
for evil-yirtuOus or vicious, hurtful or
helpful. We each one may contribute
something to the result-which shall it
he? Our little ones have the loving care
of parents and home Influences They
are fatherleSs and mctherless. OF all
forms of Christian charity this surely
is the sweetest and safest in its results.
These Orphanages here aud there in the
State, Of whatever name. look forward
to the offerings Of Thanksgiving Day
with no little anxiety and solicitude.
SO much for them depends on the az
gregate result. Let us each one helm
on this Christ-like work Our Heavenly
Father has so greatly blessed and pros
pered us as a people and as individuals
We have so much to be thankful for
orr health, friends, food. happiness
all thai we have and are. Shall we
not esteem it a vilege-something TO
be thankful for that we have this op-
poItunity of helping these little ones--of
uniting our efforts to relieve and COM
fort the otherwise friendless and for
lorn and vet our brethren?. If God so
loved lis, we ought also to love one
another" while we have time, let
us do good unto all men and especially
unto them that are of the household
of faith" Freely We have received;
freely give" and let us be thankful that
the opportunity to give is given us.

10 the Editor:
The Scriptual use of the term thanks
giving is very broad, because il is or
the essence of religion 1t is the life
of prayer, because it furnishes the
principles and formula of real worship.
From the finite to the infinite ii is the
only manifestation of gratitude: ana
songs of praise to the Deity would be
lifeless without the vital breath oY
thanksgiving AN men are under OBJ
ligatien to fill their lives with thanks
giving; and to the Christian life it il
an absolute necessity. A thankless
soul carries prayerless heart, since
Prayer is the Christians vital breath. ;"

fed by considering the subject as briefly
