Union services were held in the
Methodist Church. Thursday evening,
attended by an audience OF fully 200,
ladies largely predominating, MS la liable
to be the case. Rev. K. I. Adams, Rev.
W. II. Spencer, Rev. Il. W. Kimball
were in attendance and participated In
the devotional exercises and Rev.
Howard A. Markley, pastor of the Uni
versalist Church, preached the sermon
of the occasion.
Taking his text from Psalms, 1.-THE
Lord is good unto all, and his tender
mercies are over all his works." Mr..
Markley remarked first that the grateful
spirit is here and is always the object of
delighted attention. Even the migrate
full must envy the enforced happiness of
those possessing contented and CRATE
full spirit. Looking then for the cause
and occasions of this spirit 1t was seen
that 1t Ia not directly a matter OF wolf.
ton or the result of merely personal
blessings. True gratitude always gives
evidence Of spontaneity, and strangely
enough 1t seems to be discouraged by an
privileges. "Successfuln men are not
the most noted for their sense Of graft
tude. The qualification of personal
wishes and ambitions is often seen to
end In dissatisfaction.
Yet 1t Is not really unnatural. We
are human beings and rs such must find
the fulfilment OF our lives in an increas-
ing contact with other lives. Observers
are agreed that the thankful spirit has
its source In the abiding blessings of
human fellowship and an interested
share 10 human progress. Not what So
ciety is doing for US, but what it does for
all men, and what we are enabled to do
for others; not the blessings of the few,
but the increasing rights and privileges,
and the growing manhood, of the multi
tade--these are what make men praise
God with all their souls. To feel that
my blessings are not merely for my
comfort, but may be used, and should
be, TO further Gods purposes of blessing
others, Is to give me new sense of the
value OF the blessing bestowed upon me.
In a word, 1t is the coming of Gods
kingdom, the growth of responsibility
and fellowship and helpfulness through
out all human relations, the gradual and
increasing conquest of good over evil,
that calls forth the reverent gratitude of
the sons of men.
The same truth is enforced by the
common observation that the thing for
which we are most thankful, as we look
back over our individual lives, is that we
had strength for our tasks. Some one
WAS dependent upon us and according to
our need, so was our strength. At the
time, and all through our lives we may
have been anxious about other things,
and perhaps sought and found what we
desired. Now we see things in right
proportions, and are more thankful than
ever that we did not fail our dear ones in
their time of need
How then may we get more of the
grateful spirit. 1t is small use to be-
labor yourself or your neighbor for the
lack of it. Small receiving makes small
thanksgiving. Yet God gives us his
best blessings of sympathy and toll for
others. Personal blessings are good.
but gratitude, content and peace wait till
we see and share Gods goodness to all,
till we bless him because ''his
tender mercies are over all his works"
