Special musical services in commem-
oration of the approach of Thanksgiv-
ing Day were conducted last evening in
the Providence Presbyterian church.
There was an exceedingly large con-
gregation present. The choir was aug
mented by several new voices and the
different music was rendered in a
most acceptable manner.
The first selection given was an or
gan prelude by the church organist,
Mrs. Mcdonnell. This was followed
with a brief opening sentence, Now
the Day Is over" by the full choir. A
responsive scripture reading from the
Psalter was then given by the pastor
and the congregation.
An anthem, Psalms civ:24, was then
rendered by the choir and proved to be
the most delightful of any of those
rendered. 1t gave an opportunity for
a bass solo, when the Pastures Are
Clothed With Flocks," which was given
with splendid effect by Joshua John,
and for a male chorus, "While the
Earth Remaineth."
Prayer was offered by Rev. DR.. G..
+. Guild, the pastor, and was followed
with a softly modulated response, "Oh,
Father, Incline Thine Far" by the
choir. An anthem, Psalm iv:3-s, with
a solo, II viii Feed My Flock" by
Frederick Smith. Rev. DIR. Guild then
gave a scripture reading from Psalms
las, which was followed with a choir
response entitled, Teach Me, Q, Lord
the Way of Thy Statutes"
The pastor then gave a brief sermon
on THE Thanksgiving Sentiment" He
| emphasized the fact that there was
not a single American citizen, whether
native or foreign born, in this country
at the present time who has not abund.
! ant occasion to thank God for the gifts
and blessings Of the year.
DR.. Guild said that though there arr
many and great inequalities in life tha
| all, both rich and poor, should bt
| thankful to God for health, eyesight
sleep and for the sense Of hearing
! These blessings are possessed by tht
great majority Of mon and they should
be accordingly thankful.
An anthem with tenor solo part
sung by II. X. Acker, was rendered b.
the choir, closing the services. Mrs
! Mcdonnell played a recesslonal marcl
by Gounod as the congregation file'
out.
The church choir Is under the direc
tion of C. F. Whittemore. who deserve
especial praise for the excellent man
ner in which they sang last evening.

Being by far the largest dealers

desire simply to say that there is not
a we'll known glove on the market
today that is not at Our command, if
we wish to handle it. This being
the fact it follows as a matter of
course that we take what we con-
slider the very best from the many
offerings, and let the others CO.
That's the reason why we maintain
. OUR supremacy in the glove trade.
