1t seems as if the people have e
move on them this fall. Nearly
every where | GO l see them NOV
ing almost in every direction.
Our national day of thanksgiv-
ing is near at hand and the proc
lamation has been issued calling
on the people to observe the occa-
sion. There are many reasons for
thankfulness to our Creator. He
has literally crowned the year with
His goodness. The harvests have
been plentiful and the country
has been prosperous, and all have
enjoyed the blessings of peace and
the pursuit of happiness. tits our
duty and it ought to be our privi-
lege to recognize the giver of good
for His manifold mercies and to
voice our gratitude in a formal
and public way. The churches
have special work to doin this
connection and a more general eff
fort to observe the day in relig-
ious way ought to be inaugurated.
The different churches ought all
to unite on that day and hold re-
ligious services. These union
meeting attain two objects, they
are the means of expressing suit
able thanks to our Creator and of
cultivating Christian fellowship.
In addition to this the observance
of the day as a national holiday
gives opportunity for family re-
unions, for the cementing of firmer
family ties aud for the forming of
new associations. The family on
earth is a type of larger family
i'll Heaven and everything which
tends to bring the different men,
bers together is a contributing
force towards the bringing in of
the millennial era. Praise is
comedy and it is pleasant that
brethren dwell together in unity.
This is like the precious ointment
upon the head and like the dew
that descended upon the noun
tains of Zion where the Lord be-
slows this blessing and where there
is fullness of life forevermore.
