Thanksgiving is day for homo
coming, home thoughts, and home en-
joyments. In this respect of build
ing and intensifying the home light
and home love ii stands unique among
our holidays. 1t has, therefore, a spe-
eial place in the hearts of AL who
would see the home influence broad
ened and strengthened and sweetened.
There can be no more touching observ-
anee than this annual gathering of
the absent and wandering members Of
a family about the parental board, the
living over of bygone days and scenes,
the knitting more closely of the dearest
earthly ties. Who shall attempt to es-
innate the influence of the hundreds of
thousands OF such gatherings. annually

home life 10 be the best strength of a
nation, we must give to Thanksgiving
day a place of honor high among the
silent forces which have made our mr.

The pastor, DIR. Newman, says; Dr.

munity in many capacities. He has
given us concerts at various times, and
he has given benefit concerts, going in
to the different churches to help the
causes which have appealed to him
BY his unselfishness and generosity he
has endeared himself to thousands OF
our people. He has gone into the
homes and hearts of the bereaved and
afflicted with me and the previous pas
tor by singing omniscient and omnip-
otent love to them in the funeral sery-
ices, thereby tightening the burdens
which have to be borne in the moments
of seeming darkness when loved ones
have been apparently lost, but really
lifted up into the realms of light and
superhal joy. His music on such oc-

the source of all music, which is the
source of all love.

There is no gentler, manlier man. His

Mrs. Bischoff possesses a pure soprano
voice of rare sweetness. At a re-

displayed. Many considered her ex-

PerpetuaI Thanks~ivirE.

Nor would we confne it's observ-
ance to single day. If it is good and
desirable thing to manifest the spirit
of love and kindness on one stated day
of the year, how much better-ines-
timably better-if the spirit shall grace
all the other days of the year and of
all yearsl The sumptuous material
feast need not be spread nor the for
malities of set holiday observed.
They are merely the setting in which
is enshrined the spirit giving life to
the occasion-they are not the spirit
itself. The true Thanksgiving spirit is
one of Reorganization, of gratitude. In
the family life it may ever be present,
noting the duties performed, the as

extended. The opportunities utilized,
